Polka dot manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a polka dot manicure I created to match my blue, polka dot 
dress. I started with two coats of Catrice -It Blue My Mind and then I stamped the 
dots and the bow from m79 and m59 image plates, using Konad -Special White.
I finished with the Konad -Special Top Coat. It's a very easy to do manicure, 
but an elegant one. What do you think about it?

Half moon nails

Hi,
Today I'll show you an astral manicure. I started with two coats of
Catrice -It blue my mind and then, using a french manicure tape, I created
the half moon using Stripe Rite -Yellow nail polish. Then I applied some
silver star-rhinestones on my ring finger. I finished with a clear top coat.
What do you think?

Don't forget to visit It's so Easy Nails' website for more interesting manicure ideas.

Snowman manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a new wintery manicure done with both Konad and
brushes. I started with two coats of Catrice -It Blue My Mind and then I stamped the
snowflakes from m59 image plate on 3 of my nails and made a snowman on my thumb
and ring finger. It's very easy to do - I think each of you are capable of doing it.
Use a bigger dotting pen for the snowballs and a smaller one for the eyes, nose
and buttons. Use a thin brush for the rest of the details. At the end, I topcoated
all nails and applied a silver rhinestone in the middle of the snowflakes.
I  got inspired from The Naisaurus' manicure, but her was obviously much prettier.
What do you think?

LaROSA - Crackle Shatter

Hi,
Today I'll show you a cute crackle manicure.
I applied Catrice - Dirty Berry as a base color. Then I applied my mint franken from
the middle of the nail. On the tips, I applied Jesse's Girl - JulieG.
I used LaROSA- Crackle Shatter for getting the final effect. I noticed that the thicker
I apply the shatter, the big crackles I get. I like this one a lot. You can get it from NaildeRoyale.com
for $4.99. What do you think?

Hi,
I've recently won Colorful bottle's giveaway.
I received a lot of cute nail polishes, two stamping designs from essence,
some lipgloss and a cute necklace.
Thank you very much! I like them all.
I just don't know what to try first. Maybe you'll help me.

And now, here's a design I made using m59 image plate and the white Konad special polish.
The base color used is Catrice - It Blue My Mind.
Finally I applied some blue rhinestones and top coated with Konad special top coat.
Here are the cute snowflakes:

Hot Coco

Hi
Today I'll show you an essie nail polish from the Fall into Fashion collection.
This is 2 coats of Hot Coco, without any top coat.
I liked the texture and the brush. The application was very good, and so was the drytime.


What do you think?

Here I made a comparison between Hot Coco, #413 from Flormar and
Lost in Mud from Catrice:

For romanian readers:
Essie se poate cumpara acum si din Romania.

Lost In Mud

Hi,
Today I'll show you #220 from Catrice - Lost In Mud.
I applied 2 coats of it. It's shiney and opaque, and the brush is really easy to use.
I can say that I really like the Catrice polishes I tried until now, it's a very good brand!

What do you think of it?
It's a pity that they don't sell this in too many countries, neither in mine.
I'm lucky that I had the opportunity to try this. Thanks, Mirannie!

Have a nice day!

Sold Out Forever

Hi,
Today I'll show you another Catrice nail polish.
It's #240, called Sold Out Forever.
I used 2 coats to get this fantastic look.
It has some sparkly particles (you can see them if you enlarge the pictures) that give
the polish a special finish look. Firstly, I thought that I'll need more than 2 coats
because the lacquer is watery, but it really is opaque after the second coat.
So, what do you think about it?

It Blue My Mind...

... it's the name of the Catrice #270 that I'll show you today
Actualy this is the first Catrice nail polish I've ever tried.
This is only one coat without any top coat.
It is very opaque and very shiney, it dries very fast and the application is very easy
with the nice brush that it has.
All you'd wish for a nail polish.
I really do like it.

I'd like to thank Mirannie again for giving me the opportunity to try this.
Here you can see her nice blog.

Thanks for passing by!
