Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter L

Hello!

Vreau sa incep postarea de astazi prin a va ura un week-end frumos, daca se poate.
Nu stiu pe la voi, dar aici (Brasov) vremea este de toamna, in niciun caz de vara.  E racoare si ploua...si e urat! :(
Chiar m-am saturat de ea...dar ce-i putem face? Cred ca o sa avem caldura in noiembrie :))

Lasand vremea asta care ma indispune deoparte, haideti sa va vorbesc despre manichiura mea de astazi.
Tema pe care am ales-o este : LADYBUG . Motivul principal pentru care am ales gargarita...este faptul ca e singura insecta pe care o plac.
Urasc insectele din tot sufletul (da stiu, fac parte din ciclul natural, bla bla, dar tot nu imi plac) si mi-e teama ca nu cumva sa se urce ceva pe mine.
Cred ca gargarita este o chestie draguta care nu face niciun rau. ( pe ele chiar le pot lua in mana)

Ma rog, daca cumva doriti sa scapati de mine, acum stiti ceva cu care sa ma chinuiti. :))

Pentru aceasta manichiura am folosit SallyHansen- VitaminSea (un albastru dintre preferatele mele) si culori acrilice.


Hello darlings.

Let me start this post by wishing you a good weekend (if possible).
I don't know how the weather is where you are, but here (Brasov, Romania) it's kind of bad. It's cold and raining. We were supposed to have 30+ Celcius degrees in this time of year...but we have like 24 tops. 
Maybe the summer will come eventually. ( I think we'll have the 30+ degrees in Novembre.

Ignoring the weather that makes me sad...lets talk about the design I prepared for you today.
I choose : LADYBUG. The main reason I choose "her" it's because it's the only insect I like.
I truly hate insects ( i know they are important, but I am scared of them) and I get scared at the though that smth could crowl on me.
I think that the ladybug it's a cute thing that doesn't cause any harm. (I can even touch them) 

Well...if you need a way to get rid of me, here's one. 

For this mani I used SallyHansen-VitaminSea and acrylic paint.

MoyouNails explosion

Hello darlings!

How is your week going? One more day and we're going to enjoy another weekend ( great one hopefully)

Do you remember that a couple of months ago I recieved a great package from MOYOUNAILS ? (a lot of stamping plates and also 3 special nail polishes for stamping).

Unfortunatelly, because of my exams I wasn't able to do a blog post then. I really wanted to try them out but the time just wasn't right.

I decided to do more manis, and show them to you in one post.

After using the stamping plates the second time, my opinion is the same. I absolutely love them...There was just one image I couldn't transfer on the stamper but I will try again. You can read my first article HERE

Now I should tell you about thenail polish.
Untill now...I only used the nail polish I had in my collection(no special nailpolish for stamping) so I guess you can imagine I like these a lot.
The designs transfers perfectly on the stamper and also on the nail.
The only thing I noticed is that you have to work really fast because the polish dries very fast.


I recieved 3 colours : blue, black and gold. (you'll see all of them in the pictures below).

The "rally manicure"

( the design I have on my thumb and pinkie is one of my fav designs)

The "cute manicure" 

This is a gorgeous plate with a lot of cute hearts and bows. This is perfect for a girly manicure.

The "comic manicure" 

I think this is my favourite color combo. (the blue is SallyHansen- Vitamin sea)
I would wear this mani everyday.


I didn't name this mani...si feel free to call is as you want :)

This was a mani I did on my mom's nails ...but she wasn't very happy about the color combo...so I had to remake the manicure.
I think this is a perfect mani for the summer.
The "remade" mani :

I've decided to keep the green and stamp it with black. (I'll have to say she was a lot happier with this one)
For the accent nails I used a stamping plate from BornPrettyStore and the others are stamped using a stamping plate from MoyouNails. (I absolutely love these french tips)

I choose to post this last, because I think this is the best mani I did using a MoyouNails stamping plate.
I also used the gold nail polish they've sent me.
What do you think?
I think it's a perfect colour for doing an animal print/jaguar mani.

These being said....here are the manis I did using the MoyouNails plates.
I am officially IN LOVE with these plates, and I am going to use them on a regular basis.

I wish you a good day today and an awsome WEEK-END.
Kisses lovelies.

Dry brush

Hello hello.

Ce fac dragele mele? Sper ca majoritatea dintre voi sunteti cat mai aproape de concediu, pentru ca toate meritati o perioada de odihna.

Eu, fiind in vacanta, am foarte mult timp liber, pe care mi-l ocup cu diferite activitatii : unghii, pictura(o sa fac o postarica cu picturile de pana acum) si iesiri cu prietenii mei dragi.

In ceea ce priveste unghiutele, astazi o sa fac o postarica despre un stil de manichiura pe care imi doream de mult timp sa-l incerc : dry brush. Eu m-am inspirat de AICI . 

Sper din suflet sa va placa. Am ales culori vii, tocmai pentru ca este vara (desi vremea de afara...aduce mai mult a toamna). Manichiura am realizat-o pe unghiile mamei.

In curand, o sa pregatesc o postare "MANI SWAP" alaturi de una din dragele mele prietene. (pentru moment doar atat va spun)

Hello sweethearts. How are you ? I really hope you're enjoying vacation or at least you're close to that..because everybody deserves to take a little time off.

Well....I am on holiday, so I have a lot of free time, which I'm filling with a lot of nice activities: nails(ofc), painting ( i will make a post soon) and going out with my friends.

Talking about nails, today I am going  to write about a technique I wanted to try for a long time : dry brush. I got my inspiration from THIS BLOG 

I really hope you'll like this mani. I choose vivant colours to celebrate summer , even if the weather has a different idea on what "summer" means. 
Also, the mani I did today is on my mom's nails.

I will soon write a "MANI SWAP" post in collab with one of my nail friends.(no more details for now) 

Alphabet nail art challenge - Letter K

Hello hello.

As mani of you might have seen...I jumped letter "J" from the "alphabet challenge" and I am really sorry about that.
I've been very busy these past couple of weeks...that I just could keep up with the things I had to do. (It was an year since my grandpa died and I had to do a lot of stuff; I moved back home and many other things)

I promise that I will make the "J" mani ( I already know the design) and I will post it as soon as I can. (unfortunatelly I have many things to do ... so I cannot promise that I'll post the mani in one week).
I really hope you can understand that I am really busy and I promise I will write at least once a week.

Now, going back to our bussines, the "K" mani.
Oh...believe me I have thought about a million things : kite, koala, kilogram, kiwi... anything that started with K.
Thanks to my dear friend Ithy ( her blog HERE ) who "brainstormed me" I choose KILT.

Initially I had a different idea...but I wasn't able to do it as I wanted and I gave up. ( I wanted to do hairy legs in skirts: what yells "kilt" more than that?)

 After searching pictures with tartans I choose one and I tried to reproduce it on my nails. ( I've seen a lot of designs like this on nails and I've always liked them)

This was my inspiration:

Ofcourse, I didn't use black because I thought it will be too dark.

Overall...I think that this is a very nice design and that it looks really good on the nails.

I used as a base my green from S-he stylezone and for the stripes acrylic paints.

I did the stripes freehand...so don't judge to harsh my stripes.

I hope you'll like my mani.

Ps: I'll have a second mani at the end of my post.

What do you think?

As promised, I'll also post a second mani. When my mom saw my kilt nails she fell in love. She cleaned her nails...and ORDERED me to do her nails exactly the same.
Could I have said no? Ofc not, so here's the second kilt mani:

The metallic invasion.

Hello everybody!

How are you today? I am very happy to tell you that ,finally, my days are getting better, especially because I have the necessary time to write on my blog.

Today, I am going to talk to you about another 3 polishes I recieved from TipTop . As you already know, they sent me to review 5 polishes. You can see the first 2 HERE

I decided to make 2 different posts because the polishes are very different. The 2 pastels and 3 metallic ones.

I think that I've stated very clearly my opinion about TipTop nail polish in my first blog post. What I am going to add, is that in my eyes, TipTop nail polishes surpassed big companies. (there's no need to say more than that)

Since I firstly applied them on my nails , I knew they are great, because they covered the nail perfectly in one coat. I still use 2 coats because I think that's best ... but you don't "NEED" them.

The 3 nailpolishes I used today are :  (from left to right) ARMOURPLATE, GOLD DIGGER and my personal fav ASTRONAUT.

I like every one of them but the blue one is amazing.

I was never a big fan of metallic nail polishes, I just didn't knew what to do with them, but now I see them in a different light.

I think that a metallic nail polish can give that special "something" to a manicure.



I will start showing the designs I did in the order the nail polishes are in the pic above.

With this silver I decided to do something very simple but special manicure. I think you can use this nail polish for a night out with the girls and also at a wedding.
On the middle and ring finger I added another glitter from GoldenRose- Jollie Jewels.

This second mani I did on my mom's nails yesterday. I tried to do a non-even french mani. I really like the way it looks.

And last but not least(my fav) :

Isn't this colour GORGEOUS? I absolutely love it.( I think I am in love with this colour) .
This is also the first time I did a mani using stripping tape and i liked it a lot.
Unfortunatelly my nails broke since I did the mani...but I will use this polish constantly.


I think that these nail polishes are very good for doing galaxy nails. The first time I'll do a galaxy I'll use them and I will show you.

So. what do you think lovelies?
I would buy them ALL, and love them ...and LOVE them!
I hope everyone of you has the possibility to use them, because they are amazing.

Pentru maini si unghii

Buna dragele mele!

Din nou incep postarea cu scuzele necesare pentru ca postez atat de rar....dar, din pacate, sunt foarte ocupata.

Astazi vreau sa va vorbesc despre 2 produse de la Farmec, pe care le-am primit spre testare. Crema de maini si unghii cu ulei de argan si Ulei pentru cuticule- Tratament Expert .

Am ales sa va vorbesc despre crema si ulei mai tarziu, pentru a le putea folosi o perioada mai lunga. ( aprox. 2 saptamani).
In ceea ce priveste crema de maini, am decis sa o folosesc in paralel cu mama mea pentru ca pielea mainilor mele este foarte pretentioasa si de cele mai multe ori...dupa 3-4 zile de folosit aceeasi crema, pielea devine "imuna". Am observat asta de foarte mult timp, fapt pentru care, incerc mereu sa alternez 2 creme diferite.
Sper ca acest review sa va fie de ajutor cand vine vorba de achizitionarea unei creme de maini.

Ar fi o pierdere de spatiu si timp sa scriu toate ingredientele cremei, asa ca am pus o poza.

Un lucru foarte important, pentru mine, in ceea ce priveste cremele este sa fie fara parabeni. (un + din partea mea)

Mirosul cremei este hipoalergenic. Este un miros foarte placut care persista destul de mult pe piele.
Dupa cum va spuneam mai sus, am folosit-o in paralel cu mama, mie mi-a placut mirosul, in timp ce ei nu prea.(gusturile nu se discuta)

Am folosit crema doar de 2 ori pe zi ( dimineata si seara) pentru ca intra putin cam greu in piele, lucru care mie nu imi place absolut deloc. (nu imi place si nu pot sa pierd foarte mult timp masandu-mi mainile ca sa intre crema de tot in piele; cu cat este mai rapida, cu atat mai bine)
O noua parere diferita, a fost si aici: mamei i s-a parut ca intra foarte repede in piele.
Si nu, nu am avut doar opinii diferite. Cea mai importanta dintre ele, a fost despre efectul cremei: ESTE EXTRAORDINARA.
Hidrateaza foarte bine, intareste unghiile si isi face efectul de la a doua aplicare. Diferenta este foarte mare, cel putin in ceea ce priveste mainile mele. De cand o folosesc, am mainile constant fine, lucru care ma bucura enorm. Mereu m-am luptat cu cremele de maini dar se pare ca intr-un tarziu am gasit o crema care sa faca minuni.

 "Crema hrănește, revitalizează și protejează în profunzime pielea mâinilor. Uleiul de Argan este benefic deosebit de util în tratarea pielii uscate și pentru întărirea unghiilor." - descrierea cremei pe site-ul Farmec.
 Pot sa spun, ca este adevarata descrierea cremei. Pe mine m-a convins: o sa o folosesc in continuare. (cu putine pauze, ca nu cumva sa o ia razna pielea mea si sa nu mai reactioneze cum trebuie).

Crema, intr-un flacon de 100ml  o gasitit AICI la pretul de 7.02lei. 

Fiind vorba despre "maini si unghii" o sa va vorbesc si despre uleiul de cuticule.

Am folosit pana acum 3 uleiuri de cuticule, de la 3 firme diferite. Acesta este al 4-lea pe care il incerc asa ca pot sa trag concluziile foarte repede.
Pana la concluzii, cateva cuvinte despre acest ulei.
Uleiul face parte din colectia "Tratament expert" alaturi de : baza complex fortifiant, peeling-ul cuticular si lotiunea cu vitamnia B5(pe care nu am folosit-o inca, dar urmeaza sa o achizitionez).
Pana acum, atat peeling-ul cuticular cat si baza complex fortifiant au facut minuni pentru unghiile mele.(pot sa spun ca am unghiile mult mai sanatoase de cand le folosesc).
Acelasi lucru il pot spune si despre ulei, care mai nou, contribuie la sanatatea si aspectul unghiilor mele.
Eu il aplic de fiecare data cand am ocazia: atat pe unghiile goale cat si date cu oja. (am vazut un comentariu pe site, cum ca uleiul decoloreaza oja- eu nu am avut nicio problema si l-am folosit foarte des). Fiindca intra foarte repede in piele...il aplic si de 3-4 ori pe zi.
Cred ca si mirosul foarte subtil de lamaie, care persista, ma face sa-l folosesc atat de des.
Ca sa trag concluziile: este un ulei de cuticule cu un miros placut, care intra foarte usor in piele si care hidrateaza foarte bine.

Il recomand si pe acesta, alaturi de "fratii" lui din colectia Tratament expert, cu mare incredere!
Uleiul il gasitit intr-o sticluta de 11ml AICI la pretul de 8.17lei.

Pana data viitoare, va doresc o zi/saptamana frumoasa si usoara. Va pup.

Baked Apple by Farmec

Hello!
Nu am mai scris de foarte mult timp...si vreau sa imi cer scuze pentru asta.
In saptamana ce a trecut, in viata mea, au avut loc foarte multe schimbari (in bine), care mi-au ingradit posibilitatea de a scrie pe blog. Am fost cat se poate de ocupata si sper din suflet sa intelegeti!

Dupa cum ati mai vazut ... am mai facut o postare despre niste oje primite de la Farmec . Astazi o sa va prezint inca o ojuta draguta foc.
Un verde crud , Baked apple , care m-a fascinat de prima data cand l-am vazut!
Parerea mea despre ojele de la Farmec o stiti deja, asa ca nu are rost sa ma repet.

In ceea ce priveste modelul realizat...sunt defapt 2 modele. Eu, am fost mai indrazneata si am incercat un albastru viu iar mama, mai conservatoare, si a mers pe clasicul negru. Trebuie sa recunosc, ca modelul realizat cu negru este mult mai elegant.
Am folosit 2 placute pentru cele doua modele: 1 de la  BornPrettyStore si una de la MoyouNails.

 Evident am folosit topcoat-ul meu preferat, tot de la Farmec!

Un week-end cat mai placut va doresc!
