OPI - Sparrow Me the Drama + another pirate face ;)

Hello everyone,

Aah... It's sooo good to be on vacation!  ;D I don't have any alarm set on my clock, I do whatever I want! Yaaaaay!!!! ;D

Today I'll be showing you the 4th polish of the Pirates of the Caribbean collection: Sparrow Me the Drama.
Cute, cute, cute pink! I really love this shade. It is not bright at all, I could even call it dusty, and I also think it has a touch of lilac in it. The application was very good, in spite of the watery formula, a general characteristic of the entire collection. It is opaque in 2 coats and the drying time was OK.

So here I'm wearing 2 coats of OPI Sparrow Me the Drama + 1 coat of Seche Vite:

And finally, the pirate dedicated to this polish ( again, I used a Peggy Sage black nail art pencil):

Thank you, everyone, for watching!

See ya soon!!!
Big hugs!!!

Zoya Christinna

Hello everyone,

Yes! A polish with my name!!!  ;) I had to have this one ;) It's Stephanie from So Nailed who inspired me into buying this polish as she had her own.. and, on a coincidence, she swatched her Stephanie polish tonight too!

But, I really don't get the double "n" in the name.  I don't know any Christina to spell her name like this... oh well.

When I first saw it in her bottle, I was almost disappointed. After one coat I was extremely disappointed because it is very sheer. Needed 4 coats to obtain what you're seeing in the pics. But after all the 4 coats, the finish is indeed amazing. Pure satin! I've never seen anything like it. This polish is nothing about colour. (it's white, and white is not a colour LOL! ). No. It's all about the finish. Pure satin. I beleive it was especially created for brides. I cannot see any othe polish that can go better with a satin (of taffetas) white wedding dress! Just gorgeous.

However, my advice would be to get this applied by a professional if you decide to wear this for your wedding, beacuse the application is a bit tricky and needs 4 coats. Also, the drying time is a misery because of the 4 coats, so, to be done the event's eve.

So, as I was saying, here I'm wearing 4 coats of Zoya Christinna, no top coat:

Sorry about the bump on my middle, but I really didn't wat to start all over with all the 4 coats and everything...

And something blue ;) I applied one coat of OPI Last Friday Night over the ring (very symbolic, right? :)):

And with other glitters, in case you want pink instead (one coat of OPI Teenage Dream on my middle) or something more daring like OPI Simmer and Shimmer  (on my index):

Now I have to ask the same question as Stéphanie: do you already have a polish with your name? :D

Thank you for watching!

See ya soo!
Hugs!!!

Zoya Areej

Hello everyone,

I'm on holiday!!! Yaaay!!! :D I've been to the seaside on these past 2 days, and it was sooo great! :D Too bad here in Toulouse there's a storm going on right now and the sky was and will be gray all the weekend...
BUT, my holidays are not over yet, they've just beagun ;D On Monday I'll be going to my country to see my parents and I'll be there until the 24th of August ;) But that doesn't mean no posts: I'll be having my camera with me, some nice and new nail polishes and Internet access... and up we go ;)

Today I have for you the last of the 4 Zoyas from the Summertime collection 2011: Zoya Areej.
Like her sisters from the collection, this too applied excellently, and I can say that is almost a one coater. Excellent formula, great shiny finish! I also love the colour, which is a dusty fuchsia, more purple than pink. Great shade, in my opinion!

Here I applied 2 coats of Zoya Areej, no top coat (great shine, humm? :))

And for an accent finger I tried to put a coat of Zoya Faye on my ring:

Thank you, everyone, for watching!

See ya soon!!!
HUGS!!!

OPI - Stranger Tides + pirate face ;)

Hello everyone,

I'd like to start with a BIG THANK YOU, to all of you who participated to my first giveaway! It was a real pleasure for me and I had great fun! I'm used to work with Excel so, it was not so much time consuming after all ;) I got to see so many different blogs and to know  lot of people. I'm surely going to do this again.

Today I've got for you a 3rd polish from the Pirates Of the Caribbean collection: OPI Stranger Tides. From the moment I've seen the add for the fist time, this has been a great lemming! I thought it was going to be my favourite of the collection... And it really is a very, very nice colour, but it looks so "meh" on me! Really not flattering with my skin tone. A lot of colours suit me, but not this one... I'm disappointed.
Yet, the colour is GREAT! (however, Essie Da Bush is a perfect dupe for this one)
The formula is good, but a bit watery, but that is the same for all the polishes in this collection. The application is OK too, and is opaque in two coats.

Here I'm wearing 2 coats of OPI Stranger Tides, no top coat:

And now, here is the little pirate dedicated to this polish! Again, I used Paggy Sage's nail art pen (black) and for the bandanna I used Misa - Like It Like That.

Thank you so much for watching!

See ya soon!
Hugs!!!

OPI - Planks A Lot

Hello everyone,

So here we are, on the 1st of August 2011 (well it's actually 00h10)! My giveaway is officially closed. the winner will be announced tomorrow evening.
Thank you so much, all of you who entered it and a big welcome to you, my newest followers! It's a pleasure to have here! Thank you! I hope there will be many more to come! ;)

Today I'll be showing you the famous OPI Planks A Lot. This is such nice light purple cream! Though it is not my favourite of the collection, and it never said anything to me in the bottle, one on the the nail I really like it! And I think I'm going to wear this (Planks) A Lot! ;) The application was OK, and the drying time very good too. I've heard that pastels are not very easy to apply, but I think that this has a very nice formula. A little warety, which makes it impossible to use with Konad, but the application for a normal mani is good.

Here I'm wearing 2 coats of OPI Planks a Lot  + 1 coat of Seche Vite:

And the usual pirate of the Caribbean! I used Peggy Sage's black pen and Claire's two way nail art pen and brush, in silver:

Thank you everyone for watching!

See ya soon!
HUGS!!!
