My most worn polishes

Heya people! So, a few days ago I saw this tag awesome Danny created and I loved the idea instantly. But while searching through my stash to find my most worn varnish, I encountered a problem. I'm not in this 'business' long enough to actually have very worn polish! Especially since I get into wearing all my untrieds project a lot of times and ... well, you know, in general wearing something often for me means I wore it in the past year more than twice. 
The other thing is, I lend my polish to my friends. So some of these bottles shown here were not used only by me. But they were worn, so they count. I love seeing my polish actually being worn, so I love lending it too, to keep it in motion. :) 

So here they are, I picked 7 that actually were worn by me many times and 7 that perhaps not so much, but I still feel like they were or have some other story behind their bottle usage. Makes sense?

 LtR: Illamasqua Rampage, Essie Angora Cardi, Zoya Isla, China Glaze Below Deck, Jesse's Girl Confetti, Catrice Back To Black, Zoya Gemma.

LtR: O.P.I. Kangarooby and Suzi says Feng Shui, China Glaze It's Alive, Brucci Sapphire, Catrice Wine-tastic, Zoya Caitlin, Givenchy 739.

The first row is quite obviously worn a lot, right? No need to explain it. About the second row, Kangarooby was like my fifth polish I've ever gotten (along with Isla) from my dear Tevta and of course I wore the crap out of it. Now it's been neglected for many months, but still. 

As for Givenchy, it's almost used up because it's my oldest (and first) polish. It's 8-9 years old, and the bottle contains only 8 ml. It's an awesome polish, at least I considered it to be back then, I need to put it on and show it to ya. But that's the reason why it's so empty, it's rather old. I haven't worn it in years. 

So here ya go! I think this tag is great fun because I'm a huge fan of looking at my bottle and seeing the visible usage of the polish. Am I the only one that likes that? :)

I tag, of course, everyone that finds this fun enough, but just for fun, I'll link a few people, that I'm particularly curious about their most worn polishes:

Parokeets ladies
Nihrida
Alizarine Claws
Nail Crazy
Džumbus
Biba's Beauty Corner
You've Got Nail
Das Experiment

and the rest of you all! It's fun, do it. ;) Or at least write me a comment about your most worn polishes. :)

Thank you for reading!

Glittering Garland with Twinkle Lights

Is it too late to show you my NY mani? I didn't think of it earlier and now it's January 18th, lol. I loved it, I really did. I remember mentioning this combination when first showing you Twinkle Lights, and it did not disappoint, it looked lovely. Twinkle Lights is a major surprise on my part. I love it so much more than I thought I would. I mean, I knew I'll love Glittering Garland, so that's not a surprise, but I didn't even plan to get Twinkle Lights. I love it when polish surprises you. 




Two coats of Glittering Garland and one of Twinkle Lights. Very easy to do mani. I love it how green and red glitter pop out on the green base. They are both part of China Glaze Let It Snow collection for Holiday 2011 and both very easy to work with. Thanks to my awesome swap buddy for getting them both for me!

Did you get any colours from the Holiday Collection?

Nubar Forest

I still haven't shown you Nubar Forest? Seriously? There must be some kind of penalty for keeping these pictures hidden for a long period of time ... oh well, better late than never. Believe it or not ... I actually enjoyed wearing Forest more than I did Greener. Don't believe me? I can imagine. But I did. It's such an amazing, rich and smooth and GREEN green creme. Don't you think? It screams green, and that's such an awesome feeling when you look at your nails. Well, it is for me. :) 





Love it, seriously. Forest is, as you may know, a part of Nubar Going Green  for 2009. I won't even go on about this collection, you probably grew tired of me going on about it like last month. Two coats, application is so easy, it applies itself and sings you your song of the day while doing so.

If you like green and like to wear cremes, this is the polish for you. Eh, you probably have it already. It's just me, I'm always late to the party. 

It's a short one today, I know. I'm a bit sleepy AND I'm in the mood for Dylan Moran and his What It Is show. I love that man.

Your feelings about greens and cremes and the combination of the two? Any Dylan Moran fans out there?

Thank you for reading!

Awesome mani for an awesome day!

Heya my dear, dear people! How are you doing? It's a beautiful sunny day here in Ljubljana and my day just rocks. I passed a very very hard exam today, can I get an invisible high five here? :) I feel 152036 pounds lighter, haha! 
Of course, when I came home I looked at my nails, having a beautiful but so tired mani on them (because of the studying I can't remember the exact duration of it, but I think it lasted for 6 days without chipping (you can imagine my nail-growth showing though)!) I said: today I need a celebration mani! And sunny day just called for a holo polish that I didn't wear for months now, probably. And the awesomest holo polishes in my stash being Nubar Reclaim and O.P.I. DS Glamour, I of course pondered over the two. Glamour won. Just because I've been neglecting the poor beauty for far too long. 

I've shown you DS Glamour before, but I wanted to redo my rookie pictures of it. Sadly, there is no way to rightfully catch the unbelievable beauty of this polish. I even did a video, but failed miserably to catch the awesome holo effect. You just have to see it in person, and I hope you do have a bottle of this goodness!





*dreamy sigh* Two coats of this beauty, plus BC and TC. I hope it lasts, it's so beautiful. The application is so easy it's unbelievable.

What's your 'I feel like a million bucks wearing high heels' polish? :)
