Review: Loreal micellar cleansing water

Hello there!

  How are you all doing? It feels like ages since my last post! But, here I am, after yet again, another unplanned hiatus. I would say I'm sorry but I'm not really, I simply enjoyed my last vacation as a student. Anyways, I've done some changes to the design, it's not ready yet, but I would love to hear your thoughts about the new look of the blog.

  Today I'm not showing you a manicure, but rather talk about a product that I loved this summer, that is: the Loreal Micellar Cleansing Water. I'm sure that the micellar cleansers are not a novelty to you, there are so many choices from mass-market brands to dermatocosmetic, that it's hard to know which one will be right for your skin.

Mint dream

Hello dears!

I'm back! I bet you didn't even missed me, that's how short my "blog vacation" was. Anyhow, I'm excited to present you today another subtle but dreamy nail art, oh so perfect for our beloved summer days. For today's nail art I used a Born Pretty Store stamping plate that I won at a giveaway. It has gorgeous designs on it! I can't wait to try them all!

Born Pretty Store Review - Delicate pearls

Hello my dears!

[EN] - I hope you're well and happy! I'm not so much, there are a few exams coming my way so this month will be intense for me. But rest assured, I've got the blog covered with manicures prepared in advance :) Today, let's discuss about nail art accessories, 3D in particular. What are your thoughts about them?

[Ro] - Buna fete dragi! Sper ca sunteti bine si fericite! Eu trebuie sa recunosc, fericita nu prea sunt. Urmeaza o perioada grea, plina de examene, dar fiti linistite, nu voi lipsi de pe blog deoarece am manichiuri pregatite in avans :) Asadar, sa vorbim azi despre accesorii pentru unghii, cele 3D mai exact. Ce parere aveti despre ele?

Purplelicious

Hello ladies!

[EN] - Summer days are finally upon us! Are you prepared? Color and fashion wise...with hot, vibrant ones? If not you should really think about it. This season is perfect for crazy bold colors, prints, color blocking everything is allowed, isn't it? I'm so excited!

[Ro] - Zilele de vara au sosit in sfarsit! Sunteti pregatite fetelor? Iar, in ceea ce priveste culorile si hainele...v-ati inarmat cu nuante vibrante si puternice? Daca nu, ar trebui sa va ganditi la acest aspect. E sezonul in care totul e permis, culori si printuri nebunatice, combinatii indraznete, puneti-va imaginatia la lucru! Eu una, sunt entuziasmata!

For Audrey

Hello!

[EN] - Ladies, I got my hands on my very first China Glaze! Though it shouldn't be that big of a deal, but they're hard to find in my city so yeah, I'm excited to own one. It is such a nice shade, it belongs to my favorite range of color. I think it's also perfect for summer.

[Ro] - Dragele mele, am pus mana pe prima mea oja China Glaze! Nu stiu cum e pe la voi, dar stiti ca sunt o raritate prin magazine sau poate chiar inexistente, asa ca sunt tare bucuroasa ca am avut ocazia sa incerc una. E o nuanta tare draguta, una dintre preferatele mele. Cred ca e perfecta pentru vara.

Oriflame Review ~ WonderLash Mascara

Hello beauties!

[EN] - Today we take a break from nails to discuss about mascara. I don't usually do beauty reviews, there are plenty of girls out there who do that very well. The main reason for my shyness is because of the opinions which are always subjective and what works for me, may not work for you.

But...I'm willing to make an exception and I invite you to read on to find out why. Again all the opinions shared in this post are my own and I do not wish to enforce them on you. You may choose to try this mascara and see for yourself.

[Ro] - Dragele mele, azi luam o pauza de la manichiuri si modele pentru a discuta despre rimel. De obicei nu fac recenzii la produse de infrumusetare, sunt destule fete talentate in blogosfera care fac asta foarte bine. Motivul ce sta in spatele reticentei mele este diferenta de opinii, faptul ca tot ce spun eu aici e subiectiv, oferit din punctul meu de vedere. Prin urmare ce mi se potriveste mie nu e "musai" sa vi se potriveasca si voua.

Dar, azi sunt dispusa sa fac o exceptie, va invit sa cititi in continuare pentru a afla de ce. Din nou, va reamintesc ca toate opiniile ce le impartasesc cu voi sunt ale mele si pentru a vedea daca sunt si ale voastre, nu va ramane decat sa testati acest rimel.

MoYou London Review - Cute doodles

Hello ladies!

[EN] - I'm so excited about today's nails! It's something I've been meaning to do for a while and I'm glad that MoYou London has given me the chance to do it. They've organised a cute pinups contest where we have to take inspiration from one of their pin-up gals. I've chosen the Doodles Collection, because they have amazing plates in it. So keep your fingers crossed for me, will you? 

[Ro] -  Fete dragi, sunt entuziasmata sa va prezint un model la care m-am gandit de ceva vreme, iar cei de la MoYou London mi-au oferit ocazia perfecta pentru a-l incerca in sfarsit. Au organizat un concurs la care trebuie sa ne inspiram din fetele reprezentative ale colectiilor. Zis si facut, am ales Doodles Collection, deoarece au modele deosebite in aceasta. Sa-mi tineti pumnii!

Dreamy nail polish

Hello ladies!

[EN] - After going all animal on you in my previous post I've decided to tone it down a bit and show you a swatch. Just like a "breath of fresh air" between nail art posts. 

Oh, ladies, I'm in love! This nail polish has the perfect formula, color, shine, drying time...perfect everything! I've found the holy grail, of nail polishes. Yep, that's how excited I am and like everything else wasn't enough it's also really cheap, what else can we ask ladies?? Only to apply itself maybe :)) 

[Ro] - Dupa ce data trecuta v-am prezentat o manichiura "animalica", azi m-am decis sa ma domolesc putin si sa va arat doar o oja simpla. Ca si o "gura proaspata de aer" intre postari cu modele.

Dragele mele, eu m-am indragostit! Cred ca sunteti familiarizate si voi cu ojele Farmec si aveti o parere buna despre ele, asa ca ce va spun eu acum poate sa nu va mire prea tare. E oja perfecta din punctul meu de vedere, are o formula ideala, o culoare frumoasa, luciu, timp de uscare bun, rezistenta, trece cu brio de orice test! Si daca toate aceste lucruri nu v-au convins, poate o sa o faca pretul care este unul accesibil. Ce altceva am mai putea cere?? Doar sa se aplice singura eventual :))

Born Pretty Store Review - Double stamping (First attempt)

Hello ladies!

[EN] - Today is a glorious day! It's the day I failed at the double stamping technique! :)) I've seen it going around in the nail art world for a while now, so I thought it was about time to give it a try. Aparently, it's not that big of a deal, you stamp once, then you do it again. You can use the same design or a different one. If you're doing the same design but with different colors the trick is to stamp the colors very closely together to get the "idea" of shading, but as you can see I didn't succeed at that.

[Ro] - Salutare fete dragi! Azi e o zi glorioasa! E ziua in care am incercat tehnica stampilarii duble. Se poate stampila acelasi model dar folosind nuante diferite sau modele diferite si nuante diferite, posibilitatile sunt infinite! Daca folositi acelasi model, secretul este sa stampilati modelele aproape unul peste celalalt pentru a da impreisa de umbre, dar dupa cum se vede nu mi-a iesit prea bine.

Born Pretty Store Review - Color blocking stamping

Hello ladies!

[EN] - As promised in my previous post (Alaska), today I'm going to show you something "warmer". I was going to say color blocking but I don't think it fits that category. With that in mind can anyone tell me what this trend really is? I think my magenta should have been stronger for this to be called color blocking, right?

[Ro] - Fetelor, m-am hotarat sa scriu din nou si in romana. Dar ca sa nu ma simt ca si un robotel care traduce mot-a-mot o sa scriu asa cum imi vine. Sa trecem la treaba, va spuneam in postarea anterioara ca azi o sa va arat ceva mai "calduros". Voiam sa spun color blocking dar nu cred ca se incadreaza in trend. De fapt, ati putea sa-mi spuneti ce inseamna mai exact color blocking? Cred ca ticlamul meu trebuia sa fie mai puternic si sa acopere mai mult spatiu ca sa intre in categorie, nu?

Born Pretty Store Review - Purple water decals

Hello ladies!

You know that feeling when you have a ton of stuff to do but you want to do something else entirely (like nail art)? Yeah the all mighty, mind blowing procrastionatioooon! Ugh... Even though there are some tricks as to how to avoid it...it's such a guilty pleasure. And It's quite sad how your own brain is sabotaging you :)) To all of you out there fighting this...hang in there and just get sh*t done. It will get easier once you get started, that fear and panic you feel will go away once you are actually doing something. The trick is to start!

Born Pretty Review ~ Flowers' day

Hello ladies!

Hello April! Hope you'll be great! As for temperatures, I hope it'll get better! We've had such a moody weather here, in Cluj lately...it snowed then it was sunny then it snowed again and so on and all in a matter of hours. I'm confused, where is spring? :)) Nonetheless, I'm determined to do "springish" manicures from now on, maybe just maybe the warm sunny days will be here sooner, rather than later.

KKCenterHK Review - Neon Studs

Hello my dears!

I've read somewhere that the trends this year say that nail accessories like studs and 3D decorations are out, but I don't agree with that! That would mean I shouldn't were these pretties and that would be a shame. I actually don't always follow trends and neither should you, they are more guidelines than rules. I wear whatever makes me feel good and comfortable! Of course that reminds me: one should get out of his/her comfort zone from time to time.

KKCenterHK Review - Precious Orchids

Hello friends!

How are you today? Hope the answer is happy, if not, start with a smile! I for one, am happy to present some pretty water decals from KKCenterHK. I think I've mentioned this before but let me do that again - I love water decals! They are an amazing type of nail decorations that will make your nails look like works of art. 

Golden Rose Swatch ~ Magenta vibes

Hello!

If you're here reading my blog, I can assume you're interested in nail polish; so I'm sure you sometimes want more than just a simple shade on your nails. If you have no idea what to wear, today's manicure showcases a special shade.

Avon Stardust Review - Crystalized Pink

Hello ladies!

I hope you all had a wonderful time this Christmas! As usual, I was so busy before the holidays, that I didn't get the chance to prepare a post with my Christmas nails; you actually didn't miss much as I wore a simple red manicure.
Let's focus on more pressing matters, the New Year's Eve nails. It is an ocassion were glamour and "bling" should be mandatory; just for the fun of it, if you're not a fan of such things. Of course you should feel special even without these tricks, but if they're at your disposal why not use them? So for NYE go all out! Make-up, nails, clothes, hair, etc. make them shine! But don't get me wrong, don't light yourself up like a Christmas tree, keep it classsy ^^

Farmec review ~ Joyful Elf

Hey girls!

I'm keeping my promises so today I'm going to show you the last nail polish I own from the 2013 A/W Collection by Farmec. It is quite a shade, it's unique in my collection so yeah...this one is special too. These types of finishes are starting to grow on me, I don't really know how to call them...chromes, metalics, help me out girls!

Farmec review ~ Silent Night

Hello lovelies!


I have something special for you today! A gorgeous shade of nail polish, from a local brand named Farmec, their headquarters are right here in my city so yeah... I'm being supportive of local bussinesses. Although it's a local brand they are present internationally, here's where you can find out if they're available in your country (Farmec-Distribution).
This particular one is included in Farmec's A/W 2013 Collection and it's called Silent Night. It's a deep blue with metalic irizations and purple highlights, so depending on the light, you have blue nails or a combination of blue'ish purple nails. It definetly is a chameleonic shade - that's why it's so special. Wearing it, your nails will have an elegant and sophisticated look; just perfect for the upcoming holidays, right?

GR Review - Feeling blue

Hei ladies!

Too much time has passed since my last post, but unfortunately other things were more important than painting my nails; a pleasure which I should value more since the university will keep me very busy this semester. These past weeks the only luxury I could afford was wearing a simple color such as the one I'm showing you today.

I don't usually do swatches, they never turn out as I want to, but today I made an exception and I'm presenting you my first swatch - Golden Rose, Rich Color Collection #16

Golden Rose Review - Ruby Love

Hello ladies!

So my lovelies, Valentine's Day is just around the corner and it seems like the entire nail art blogosphere is full of ideas for this occasion, nontheless I wanted to show you what I'm going to wear this year and that would be Golden Rose Jolly Jewels #121. It's a gorgeous red, perfect for such occasion. I just love it!
