Essie - Bobbing for Baubles

Heya darlings! How are you doing? I'm staaarving, waiting for the food to cook. I promised I'll show you the Essies I fell in love with this week, and I only have two days of it left, so let's get this show on the road. Bobbing for Baubles is such a wonderful dark blue. It's really dark, but so so beautiful. Mind you, in soft light it will get black, but surprisingly in most light it will keep the dark smokey blue hue, even in the grey morning of Ljubljana's soft light and in the soft yellow artificial light on our office (that is really the best judge for blackened polish). So even if you're like me and are really sick of blackened shades, that are supposed to be a colour but are not, this one get's a thumbs up from me! Very cool for a dark phase, really.

Bobbing for Baubles is, like School of Hard Rocks, a part of the Essie Cocktail Bling collection for Winter 2011 and like School of Hard Rocks it is a two coater with a lovely formula. Very nice application and a really lovely colour that remains blue 99% of time. FTW! 

Did you get any colour from Cocktail Bling collection?

Thank you for reading!

Rocking hard in Vegas

Heya darlings! Welcome new people! As I told you yesterday, I upgraded School of Hard Rocks after a few days. Sadly I had to remove it yesterday, because the mani was getting way too tired for my liking. It was SO gorgeous I didn't want to take it off even after like five days! Awesome!

BTW, if you own a Facebook account, could you like this mani? It's from Biberlee, and it's a gorgeous mani, it totally deserves to win (and the winning is Illamasqua!!). We have two days to get her the extra few likes she's behind the leading (*big big yawn*) mani. Thank you! :*

I added one coat of Essence Waking Up In Vegas, from Re-mix your style LE. You know, *the flakie* of the collection. Nihrida showed us teal is the answer for this topper, and naturally I couldn't wait to try a similar combination and here it is. Btw, Waking up in Vegas is one of the polishes I'm adding to my giveaway, that I'll probably launch in the next few weeks! 

Like I said, one coat of Waking Up in Vegas over Essie School of Hard Rocks. I absolutely adore it. And it looked bazillion times better IRL, the play of colours in flakies was mesmerizing.

What do you think of this combo? Did you get any toppers from Re-mix your Style?

Thank you for reading! 

Essie - School of Hard Rocks

Heya ladies (and gentlemen, of course)! I'm going to be quick today, don't have much time, but I need to show you this one!! Not because you wouldn't see it before but because I'm completely in love with this colour. I think I'm wearing it now (with an extra bling, sure, but still) for the fourth or even fifth day. Which is like ... since beginning of time for me. This is the best colour Essie has ever done IMHO. It's beyond perfect. Kris seriously rocks for sending me this one. I think I say this for every second polish I show you, since every second polish I show you is from her package ... basically she nails my colours real bad. :)

School of Hard Rocks

I freakishly adore this colour for it's dustiness. Look at it! The dusty factor and the richness of the colour remind me of Angora Cardi. Sure, that one is purple, but also one of the best purples I own, precisely because of the dustiness the colour has. School of Hard Rocks is amazing, seriously gorgeous teal. I needed only two coats, it applied wonderfully (remember my theory on Essie being for shorter nails?). The formula was a bit on the watery side, but I prefer them that way. No complaints, it behaved beautifully. 

School of Hard Rocks is otherwise from Essie Cocktail Bling collection for Winter 2011. I dare say it's the star of the collection, but I'm not sure, there wasn't much vibe around the collection in general to get the right feeling. Still, I think fans of good cremes should check it out.

Oh yes, this is how short my nails are right now. I kinda like it, but i don't like how they hurt where they've broken. Oh well. I'll live. :) 

What do you think? Fan of teal? Did you get any colours from this collection?

The boots beauties

Well, imagine my surprise when I got back to my blog, curious about what your comments will be on Power Clutch, just to see that my first paragraph on boots stole the show. ;) Here are quick shots of them for the curious ladies in my previous post. :) I did them, believe it or not, in my freaking lightbox. My camera cannot make a clear photo in artifical light to save my life. *sigh* 

They were bought in Bata, last pair too!

Do you like high(er) heels? How about boots?
