A holographic duo

Hello my dear people! How are you doing? I finished my exams around two weeks ago, started enjoying my vacation while searching for a summer job (very bad timing for that in Slovenia) and enjoyed three days of blissful peace surrounded by mountains this weekend. It was neat! Today I am already back at the computer, this time searching for a room in Bratislava! I am going on a student exchange program there, yay! So if any of Slovak readers are still sticking to this blog of mine, and can help me with any information about renting a room, I will be most grateful! My email is up there in the contacts! 
I love Slovakia, I visited it a couple of years ago and fell in love with it. It will be my first time in Bratislava and I can hardly wait for it! :) 

But to the nails of this post ... lately I have grown fond of what I call duo manicure. Because it is composed of two different colours. I'm a very shrewd mammal, aye. Seriously though, I like the combo. I will show you both hands. Plus, I love how OPI DS Glamour looks with Jade Holografico Hypnose! Cool colours!





Are you wearing holographic polish now more often, thanks to the sunny days?

Thank you for reading!

Jade Holografico ~ Energy

Oh yes, it's a beautiful sunny day here in Ljubljana! I feel much better just with having some sunlight, even if I have a lot of work to do, looking through the window makes me cheerful today. :) When I got up I also got serious craving to wear a holographic, possibly because I was able to photograph it in all its beauty. And, I mean, I have Brazilian holos just sitting there on the table, waiting for brighter days, that's kinda heretic, isn't it? I picked Jade Holografico named Energy. Please bear in mind this is in fact bluish teal, not bright blue.




And a video, because there is no way to properly show you the intense holografic effect Energy has on photos.




Energy is my first Jade to every try out and I am really impressed by their application. There was no trouble whatsoever with it, formula is really nice and the brush is great. I needed three coats for full opacity, you know I don't like VNL, but it went really fast due to the great application. The holo effect is amazing. It looks so great, plus it does not need a lot of light to be nicely visible. Naturally it goes insane on direct sunlight. The base colour is teal on the blue side, but I don't think I captured that properly, add a drop of green to the colour in the photos. Anyway, a lovely surprise from Brazil. I didn't even pick one Jade polish, but Eveline said I need it in my life. She was right. :)

Do you have Jade polish, do you like it? Are you still crazy about holo effect or has the hype calmed down a bit? :)

Thank you for reading, have a wonderful Sunday!

Paket Petek (haul post)

Hello my people! How are you doing? It's that great Friday again when I get up to a package awaiting me. This time I was in a hurry and I didn't have time to open it right away, the agony! The package came all the way from Brazil. A wonderful nail polish blogger contacted me a few weeks ago about nail polish that bears her name and if I would be interested in a swap. But of course! I never ever thought I'll get my hands on Brazil beauties so this was a real surprise. Eveline has a nail polish blog with five other Brazilian gals and their photos and nails are absolutely stunning, see for yourself: Tudo Sobre Esmaltes. Let not the langauge be an obstacle, beautiful swatch needs no words. ;)

This package is actually number 2, number 1 is probably still somewhere on the way. Since one of the packages sent to me got lost during Summer I'm a bit anxious about late packages, but I hope all will be fine. Let's have a look at the beauties! 



Gorgeous. <3 Can't wait to play with them. I'm a fan of Powerpuff Girls (one of the rare 'classic girly' cartoons I love) so I had to choose some of them, and I absolutely adore Guacamole and the funky glitter it is. And the Sea Blue franken actually has a bow on the handle, how adorable is that? The one that intrigues me the most is actually Lotus franken, so I just might start with that one. Such a lovely package, Lord of the Rings, am I a happy hobbit!

Eveline, swapping with you was awesome, I'm really glad to meet another amazing person in this lovely nail polish blogsphere. Thanks again!

Do you have any Brazilian polish?
