Hema - Metallic Blue

Hello everyone,

Yes!!! It's the weekend!!! :D And I'm getting closer and closer to my holidays ;)

Today I'll be showing you one of the polishes Stéphanie sent me for our swap! It's my first Hema ever and I'm in love! Hema is produced in the Netherlans and comes in cute little 7 ml bottles. I have no idea about the price - as they are not available in France, nor over the Internet.
As the name name says it, it's a gorgeous metallic blue foil - with tons of silver shimmer inside! The quality of the formula is absolutely incredible! No streaks at all, applies like butter (almost a one coater, but I've applied 2 just to be sure ;))  and it dries extremely fast! 10/10 for this polish!!!
So here are the pictures! 2 coats of Hema Metallic, no top coat:









Then thought about doing an accent finger, inspired by the starry night sky. IN real life it was quite pretty, but my camera couldn't capture it... I applied some Color Clud   total Mystery, then, Zoya Charla and finally Zoya Faye. I painted some little silvery stars.. you know.. for the "starry night" ;)


And with a final coat of OPI Last Friday Night, for the sparkle side of the whole thing ;)


Thank you so much for watching!

See ya soon!!
Big hugs!!! ;)


EDIT: I've been asked why I'm holding a Zoya bottle instead of a Hema bottle. Wel, at fist I've taken picture with the Hema bottle, but my fingers were so disgracefully arranged that not only it was not beautiful, but they began to hurt! So, for my comfort and for the beauty of the pictures I'm holding a a bottle of Zoya Charla (used for my accent finger ;))
Also, Ruxi told me that Hema is available in France. But in Paris. So, for me it's not available ;)

Deborah - It's Evergreen

Hello everyone,

Hope your day was fine! Me, I'm happy we're getting closer to the weekend ;)
This is the second Deborah nail polish that I've purchased. And I'm so happy I did, because I'm truly amazed by the quality and by the beauty of these little babies. Even though the brand is called Deborah Milano, it is actually made in France. It comes in cute little 4.5 ml bottles and several colours are available ;) Me, I already have Yellow Fiz , It's evergreen, and Stardust (not swatched yet). I get them from Monoprix and are sold for the price of 4.90 euros (kinda expensive for the 4.5 ml...).

The base colour for this one is "leaf" green with huge quantity of gold micro-shimmer. The finish is a little frosty, which give it this "sugar-candy" look! Adorable! I really really love it! And so unique, I'd say! I couldn't find any dupe for it.
I'm sorry,  the pictures are little dark, but it's because of the bad weather we've had here in the past 10 days... But, anyway.. I'll let you see them ;)
Oh, I forgot: I'm wearing 2 coats of Deborah Milano, no top coat. ;)







And because it looks so much like a grass field.. I thought I'd add some flowers ;)  I firstly used Konad, but the flowers were sooo... sheer, I decided to fill in the gaps, and re-draw the petals. There's a little spot I've missed (sorry about that, but I got tricked by the bad light...!). For the petals I used Deborah  - Yellow Fiz (an Orly Lemonade dupe, but of better quality) and for the middle I used China Glaze  - Strawberry Fields:




Thank you so much for watching!!!

See ya soon!
Hugs!!!

Playing with polish :)

Hello everyone,

Swtaching my China Glaze Ahoy! got me inspired.. (or at least that's how I call it ;D).
So.. I wanted to share with you the very simple (yet clumsy) nail art I've done. Every thing you'll see it's free hand design, didn't use any stripes or scotch tapes. The only "tool" I've used is the Claire's  two way nail are pen, in white.


The base is China Glaze Ahoy! (OK, OK, I admit it, I love Ahoy! :D).
Over it I've put a bit of Zoya Faye:



Then another band of Zoya Valerie:



And then applied the white dots using the pen end of Claire's nail art pen& brush:




Thank you, everyone, for watching!

See ya  soon ;)
HUGS!
