Royal & sea & turquoise blue trio

Heya everyone! How about new NOTD? Nail crazy said I should show my NOTDs more often and lately I actually feel like wearing more than one colour I've already shown, so with posting these I don't fear I am not boring you with my nails. :)

I think I am in my blue phase quite strongly lately. I constantly feel like wearing some sort of blue shade. For this I mixed up two colours and a glitter. I actually wanted to fling a duochrome topper in there as well, but I thought it would get too busy. Please excuse the state of my cuticles, I wasn't home when I took these and there is no dishwasher in my BF's cabin up north and that shows. :)

I combined them a bit differently on my right hand and I prefer this combination to the one on my left hand, hence the picture. Excuse the weird position of the hand, I am not used to taking photos with my left. :)

The royal blue is Revlon Royal, I think it has to be one of my most used nail polish, the colour is just sickening. It is a jelly and so it photographs a bit sheer even if it is not. 

The turquoise blue is Kiko 342 and it is in fact a true turquoise, not sky blue, like it is on my photos. Online swatches prove also it is a very nice dupe of O.P.I. Fly, if you really want a cheap but great substitute of that baby. 

On top is the utterly gorgeous Sea Blue glitter made by Esmaltes da Kelly (EDK) I got from lovely Eveline all the way from Brasil. I love how irregular the glitter is, and that it is dense enough I only need one coat to spread it evenly over the nail. Brush is awesome, a lot of brands could learn from this indie np maker. :)

And of course  I needed to put a matte TC on the Kiko combo. Apparently that's what I do with lately with at least 2 nails, my brain decided it is obligatory. 

What's on your nails today?

Bunny is connecting the snow dots

Heya folks! I'm trying quite desperately to find stuff to do in order to avoid college work. I've done a make up look with MUA (btw, love the eyeshadows and the powder blusher, it suits me perfectly), I went for a coffee with a friend, I went for a walk, cooked lunch, made tea, edited photos ...I just might do a bit of exercise and dancing after I finish with this post. You know ... to get the blood flowing and they I'll really go to work! Yeah ... actually, I really do need to work, so I better stop making excuses. But I miss dancing, I just might give it half an hour. And now I'm seriously rambling, aren't I?

Revlon Snow Bunny is a perfect polish for snowy winter. It matches the snow rather well. It's a beautiful white foil, I think I fell in love with white foil when I saw it on Das Experiment blog. Then again, everything looks perfect on her gorgeous nails. :) Snow Bunny is a bit sheer, I needed 4 coats for full opacity, but I really love the finished look. I put Lynnderella's Connect the Dots on top, and they look pretty awesome together.

 This is actually how white Snow Bunny is! A bit shaky picture, but it's the best I could get to actually capture the whiteness.

When I started applying Connect the Dots I grabbed the biggest hexagonal ever! See it on my pinky? I did not know hexs that size are even in the polish. It is crazy big. :D I love Connect the Dots, really, it's such a perfect layering polish, it saves just about every possible colour I put it on so far. Revlon Snow Bunny is a very awesome shade as well. Plus it's very easy to work with, if you have the patience to apply 4 coats for full opacity. I do, so it's not really a problem, the brush and the formula are very nice.

Do you like white foils? Which one is your favourite?

Btw, this is probably the song of 2012 for me, I've been listening to it whole day long, might as well put it on the blog. I cannot get sick of it.When I first heard it I actually got that feeling, you know, when you hear a song and it's like a whole new world of music just opened for you and you know this song is going to be like a drug for you, just constantly listening to it, and enjoying every second of it? That is how my love for Agalloch was born, yes.

Revlon ~ Mistletoe

Heya everyone. Hope your Saturday is better than mine! :) I decided to post a little gem that's been waiting for its moment of fame for far too long. In the past few weeks it has been ALL about Revlon with me. I've read about its products before and I have some polish by Revlon that I adore (Royal, my darling, my love) ... but I never really paid attention to their make up. Now I'm in love and wanting more. Three words, people. Colorburst Lip Butters. Ah. I shall have them, oh yes, I shall. We don't have them in Slovenia and in Paris they cost the unbelievable 16€. You see, I got one by luck, and I adore it (Sugar Frosting, a nude everyday colour). But instead of bringing more Revlon here, we're actually losing some of the places (or perhaps even all) that sell them. That surely means sale on all Revlon products right now, but it also means less Revlon in the future. I bought one of the best lipstick I have on sale and also one of the best lip liners, all by Revlon and I've been rocking them both since I got them. So you see, Revlon phase going on here! That's why I want to show you another beauty, that doesn't get a lot of love on nail blogshpere (or I'm missing the love somehow). It's a beautiful green with great formula and easy application. Mistletoe!

I like the part shade - part sun photos. :) My index fingernail was so short here it actually hurt. Now it's much better. As you can see, Mistletoe appears a bit glassfleck-y with its rich shimmer. It is also a great shade of green. The name would suggest some sort of standard Christmasy green, but it's not and I prefer this shade of green much more. Hm, what would you call this shade of green? I'm bad with colour description the moment they get tricky, I'm afraid.

Two easy coats, it's really a polish you can grab when you don't know what to wear or you don't feel like putting up with a tricky formula or brush. Lovely one, Revlon!

What is your favourite Revlon product? Do share. :D 

Thank you for reading & have a great weekend!

Essence Prince Charming over Revlon Royal

Heya people! I'm going to be extra short today, it's beautiful, calm, rainy day here in Ljubljana, perfect for tea and a good book under a blanket. Another Essence today, this time a topper from Snow White LE, the only one I decided to take after close inspection. The silver and blue combination looked awesome in the bottle. I wish they were easier to get on the nails though. You kinda have to struggle to put them on nails. On pictures I layered it over Revlon Royal, gorgeous, gorgeous blue. Since it's a jelly, I can't show its true beauty on pictures, it always looks uneven, although it's not IRL. 

Gorgeous combo, very glossy too.Two coats of Revlon Royal with one or two coats of Prince Charming, I needed to tap the glitter (especially the blue particles) on the nail. Still, I love it!

Any other bases for Prince Charming you recommend? I find this to one to be quite perfect. :)

BeYu 209

Yeah, you're gonna hate me for this one, won't you? You've seen it a million times, but now it's my turn to show it to you! I'm incredibly lucky when it comes to getting nail polish. Even when I completely give up on it or don't even consider trying to get it, a very nice girl contacts me, saying she can sent it to me in a swap. An offer I couldn't refuse was made and so now I have this beauty. So utterly gorgeous. I did a bunch of photos for ya, I couldn't decide which one to post, so I'm posting more of them. After I finished with taking pictures I sat down on the couch, basking in the sun, realising this baby looks ah-mazing in direct sunlight, so I made quick video of the sparkle play too. Hope you like it!

 A very wonky picture to show you the subtle multichrome effect.

Direct sunlight. It's on fire!

And the video, direct sunlight.

I layered BeYu 209 over Revlon Royal, it seems like most bloggers advise this combo. I've shown you Royal before, but those pictures turned out pretty horrible. I didn't do much better this time either, but still better than before. You know it anyway, it's utterly gorgeous blue jelly. Get it!

Two coats of Revlon Royal, two coats of BeYu 209 and it was love. Layering it over blue even satisfies my wish for Max Factor Fantasy Fire. :)

Do you have this BeYu? Are you on the 'unicorn pee' waggon?

Thank you for reading!

Revlon - Royal

Hello darlings! And welcome new darlings! Glad to have you on board. :) We're reaching the number 500. W-o-w!! I'm thinking about celebrating the growth in number of my followers, either with the Number of the Beast of the most magical number of all times. We'll see how it goes! :) I have a few things to tell you - I'll be off in a cabin in our biggest national park, surrounded by beautiful Soča and our gorgeous mountains this weekend, starting tomorrow, which is a perfect start of celebration of my birthday on Sunday. So I'll be back with Did someone say nail polish? on Monday, hope you'll miss me at least a bit. ;) In other news - my big red comparison is going well, I have so many reds at home it will be a red comparison week. I hope you'll like that.:)

But to the nail polish! Today I have for you yet another one from the swap I did with Kris and this one is beautiful Royal blue.

As much as I love the colour, I hate the pictures. The pull up was not nearly that big IRL and I didn't have any VNL! My camera just exaggerated big time. What's interesting about this polish is, that it dries with a plastic finish. As I didn't think it suited the colour much, I added TC and all of the sudden it looked exactly like a jelly. True jelly. Freaky polish. But I like the colour, true blue. I expected Dating a Royal would look like that, but for some odd reason it didn't. :S

I don't think Revlon gives them out in collections, so no info on that. Oh, this was two coats. The brush didn't rock my world one bit, it's very broom like, si I had some troubles with it. I expected it to not last long, because of the plastic finish, and it didn't, the tip wear was rather big in two days already. But I like the colour, so it's forgiven. :) 

What do you think about Royal? :) Have a great weekend! :)

Thank you for reading and following! *muah*
