Deep love

Hello my dears!

  I'm glad you're here, reading! I have something pretty for you today, but I don't think pretty is the right adjective for it; the word that comes to mind when I look at this nail polish is sophisticated, yes! This Flormar #013 from the True Color Collection is the perfect red for a misterious allure. Gosh, I'm using a lot of fancy words to describe this color, but imagine it on your nails and tell me: what comes to mind? I can think of some khaki and military accents. Whatever outfit you imagined or occasion or scenario, this color would only empower you, for sure!

Hypnotic

Hello ladies!

How are you today? I'm happy that I'm finally on vacation, whoop whoop! And what other color than this one can so loudly scream "summer vacation"? Let me tell you: none! I'm in love with this shade, just by looking at it I'm immediatly transposed to a sunny white sand beach, with some palm trees nearby and the quiet ocean... how nice it would be to be sipping a lemonade under those palm trees, right? :))

Just another lovely purple

Hey there!

So this is my last draft :)) After bragging in a previous post that I have this regular posting thing under control, today I'm telling you that I don't, and that's ok because my nails have been bare for a few days now, my exams are over and I don't know when I'm going to post again. So yeah I'm taking a little vacation, but I'll be back soon.

Feisty red

Hello ladies!

I can't believe I've managed to post 8 times this month, with exams and all! The key ingredient to constant posting is planning ahead. Oh yes, I've discovered the big secret! I always have one or two manicures ready to go on the blog before the one I'm curently wearing. So that gives me a little bit of wiggle room in case I'm not in the mood for nails or my design doesn't turn out to be "blog worthy". It really takes away the stress of not having what to post in the mentioned cases.
So this is a color that looks really gorgeous in the bottle but not particularly on my nails. It's really smooth and an easy one coater. It also has a nice shine, I can't really complain. It's a vibrant color perfect for summer. Oh, right, I'm talking about Farmasi #46
Would you wear such a shade? What combos come to mind when you look at it? I struck out :)

Have a gorgeous week!
With love, R.

Stamping fail

Hello ladies!

Weeeell...it was bound to happen! Although I don't like to post manicures that I'm not fully satisfied with, today I made an exception. Having to study for exams, my time is "precious". And eh... I didn't get the chance to re-do the whole manicure. So here it is...my not so perfect nails :)

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.

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 :))

Barbie Girl

Hey girls!

So this post took longer than I expected, I've had these pictures for a few days but I've been procrastinating, I'm very good at that. It's just a simple swatch, but I thought this pretty pink should have the glory of a post, it deserves that :))

City that never sleeps...

Hello girls!


I'm afraid I have to share my sorrows with you today. As you probably know how much I love nail art, you can understand it's a torture for me not to do any. I miss doing some, I have so many ideas but so little time to do them (instead of that I have to study study study). So I'm forced to resume to a simple mani these days.

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 Swatch - Teal glitter

Hello 2015!
Hello dear friends! May we have a great year! 

The biggest wish I have for this blog is keeping up with the regular posting, because I often find myself wishing I had more time to dedicate to this hobby. So, here's to hoping!
Today's manicure is just a simple swatch, of a gorgeous nail polish: Avon Stardust Collection ~ Teal glitter. I have already reviewed a different one from the same collection in my last post so I won't go into so many details as usual.

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?

Chameleonic white

Hello ladies!

I hope you're enjoying your weekend so far. I had a spare moment and I thought I should show you a special shade, one that has many faces. I'm talking about Golden Rose ~Rich Color Collection #101...

Summer. Pink.

Hei there!

I wasn't planning to post today as I'm swamped with projects and stuff for the uni but some recent events gave me the perfect incetive for a quick post. Unfortunately I won't be able to post more often until my exams are over so hang in there for another month or so, I'll be back, I promise!
The events that I was mentioning are the sudden realization that a month has past since my last post and a lovely comment that made me realize that some of you are still reading my blog and it kinda made my day! Aaand I just did my nails about 10 minutes ago, so here they are...

...Just a simple yet electrifying shade, perfect with this lovely weather we're having lately and to be honest it really does pop and brightens my mood. I only needed one coat to reach full opacity and that's rather rare so I'm very pleased with this particular nail polish - Golden Rose #79, its consistency is fluid and really easy to work with. I hope you like it!

Have a great day!
R.

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
