NOTD | Essie Aruba blue

I was clueless what to post today. Well, I wasn't really clueless, but yesterday until 10.30PM I didn't know which post to publish today. Before December I planned a post for each day, but some of them are informative and I wasn't in the mood to write something long, makeup looks need to be done, and I was makeup less yesterday after a very long time, recipes need to be photographed ... You get the picture ;)
Luckily, I was just about to change my nail polish, unfortunately, I suck at taking pictures of my nails. Nail bloggers - tell me your secret. I need to know it ;)

Anyways, I used Essie Aruba blue (because that -50% off Essie polishes had to be used, right? ;)) and if you know me, I love blue. Correction - I'm obsessed with blue.

Here's my mani:

Tell me what's your favourite colour?

Thank you for reading, looking and commenting ;)

NOTD | Navy Disco Ball

It's been forever since I posted nails of the day post and I say that in every notd post. Or recipe post. Or 'what I ate' post. Anyways, this is not what I should be talking about, back to nails!

I bought two Bourjois 1 seconde Texture silicone gel, because a girl can't say no to a discount ... and pretty (blue) nail polish. I love their wide fan effect brush, makes application super easy and even dries quite fast! Win win I say.

So, today on my nails I combined Bourjois In the Navy with Rimmel Disco Ball polish on my ring finger, because it's always fun to have disco ball on your nails, right? Right. :)

Here are my nails:

NOTD: Fleur de Santé HOT RED!

* All Fleur de Santé posts will be written in English and Slovene. / Vse Fleur de Santé objave bodo napisane v angleščini in slovenščini.

I already mentioned this polish in my Fleur de Santé post, check it out here: click. Time to show you this beauty!
Tale Fleur de Santé lak sem omenila že v skupni objavi tule KLIK. Sedaj je čas, da pokažem tega lepotca!

 Glitter is hard to capture. / Težko je fotografirati bleščice.

 

It's red polish with teeny tiny red glitter, and it's absolutely gorgeous! I'm sucker for red polishes, it's always
my "go to" polish (or blue or black:)). I have probably 10 polishes in "red family", but haven't had a beauty like this one before. I also wore it three times in a row, which is really unlikely for me.
Lak je rdeče barve, ima drobne bleščice in je prelep! Obožujem rdeče lake, vedno izberem rdeč odtenek, ko ne vem, katerega bi uporabila. Mislim, da imam okoli 10 lakov v "družini rdečih", vendar noben ni takšen kot ta. Celo nosila sem ga trikrat zaporedoma, kar se običajno nikoli ne zgodi.


 

Do you love it or do you love it? :) / Vam je všeč ali všeč? :))

It comes in a squared bottle, 7 ml content and tiny brush, although it's a really good brush. I'm a clumsy polisher, but I managed to apply it without problems. I used two coats to achieve complete opacity, but one coat has pretty good coverage.
Steklenička je štirikotna, ima 7 ml vsebino in majhen čopič, vendar je super. Sama sem dosti nerodna pri lakiranju, vendar mi je spelo nalakirati brez večjih problemov. Nanesla sem dve plasti, čeprav je tudi že z eno dosti prekriven.

 
What are your thoughts? Which is your "go to" polish colour? :)
Kaj pa ti meniš o tem laku? Katere barve je tvoj "go to" lak? :)

Have a lovely Monday!
Pa lep ponedeljek ti želim!

* Product was sent to me for review. / Idelek mi je bil poslan v oceno.

NOTD: After-holiday glittah!

I've been obsessing about glitter polishes right now. I have no idea why, maybe because I have to study (I'm finishing Uni this year, so I have to kick my lazy ass and get to work!) and glitter nails always make me happy (although removing them is not such a happy process :P). I found this gem, I wore so much last summer, Essence 38 Choose me!. It's one of the polishes that look absolutely amazing in the bottle, but once applied on nails it looks even better :).

Still don't know how to take a proper photograph of my nails *sigh*. :) Will work on that this year :P
Is it just me or old Essence polishes dry quicker on your nails and last longer?

What are you wearing on your nails today?

NOTD: confetti

I painted my nails on Thursday with blue colour, which I really love, but on Friday morning I wanted to do something else. So, I added some "confetti" to spice up my manicure. Here is the final look:

I've decided that the stuff falling through the cracks is confetti and I'm having a party! (B. C. Garmon)

Barry M 291 Cobalt blue

Essence Special effect topper 02 circus confetti

I think adding glittey top coat adds a perfect special touch and it's not even time consuming, you know that I'm quite lazy with my manicures :).
And I think it's special razzle dazzle for holiday season. What do you think? :)

(sorry I fail at taking photos of my nails *sigh*)

P.S.: I am so happy you guys liked my Lasik eye surgery experience post (here). Thank you for all your lovely comments. <3 

Halloween series: Halloween manicure (Jack Skellington and bloody hand)

I realized that nail art can be really fun to do if I want to, so I decided to do two Halloween manicures today. :) I'll just put both in one post, because I still have 3 Halloween related posts to post in this last three days of October.

I've seen cutepolish's video this week and she did Jack Skellington inspired manicure (see the video here), so I decided to recreate it. Because Nightmare before Christmas is my favourite Halloween movie and I love Jack Skellington, although he doesn't look like himself on my nails :D. Maybe he was drunk or something.
I did his face on my ring finger and the rest of the nails are inspired by his suit.

Essence multi dimension 68 Perfectly true

On the right hand I wanted to do something bloody, but still a little bit glamorous. So I decided to apply glittery silver polish as a base and sponged on some blood (I mean red polish) so it looks like I dipped my nails in a pot full of blood. I guess :)

Catrice 070 Caught on the red carpet

Which one is your fave? I like my left hand much more, but cannot stop looking at my right hand, probably because it sparkles. :)

Have you done any Halloween inspired manicures? I would love to see them! You know hot to reach me :)

Four elements challenge: AIR

Today's task for four elements challenge is air. First I started singing to myself: Put your hands up in the air (yeah... I know^^). But then I looked up in the sky and saw blue sky and some clouds. I took that as an inspiration. It's such a pretty sunny warm day today btw :)

Here is my manicure:

Barry M Blueberry

Essence multi dimension Perfectly true 

I sponged the white nailpolish on the tips (2 coats) and then went over it with blue polish to soften the edges  and blend them a bit.

Sorry, it's not makeup :D You probably expect that from me, but I always like to challenge myself.
And I'm kinda sick and tired of doing blue makeup looks, I have feeling like I always do the same.

Hope you like it.

Here are other participants and their creations. Take a look:

Four elements challenge: WATER

Sorry for being  late with this one, but at least it's here :)

This time I decided to do a manicure instead of makeup. But don't judge, my manicures are always the simplest, because I'm really clumsy when it comes to my nails. Nail polish everywhere just not on my nails. Story of my life. I can do the most precise line with makeup though. :D

But  a change is always good. And I've done so many blue makeup looks lately, so blue manicure it was instead.
Here's my last week's task: CLICK.

Today's (I mean yesterday's) theme is water. I imagined river Soča with all it's blue-ness. I added a Special effect top coat to add flakes and I think it gives it a watery effect.

I did my ring finger differently though.

Here's my mani:

I used:

- NYX Girls NGP 195 Bermuda Triangle (2 coats)

- Essence nail art special effect! topper 08 Night in Vegas

- Essence Colour & Go 38 Choose me! (accent nail)

Hope you like it! Have a lovely weekend!
