Bio Nature 3in1 and 954 Nail Polishes

Pozdrav vsem skupaj! Danes vam na blogu predstavljam novost v Sloveniji - lake Lady Lya Bio Nature. Gre za lake, ki so 85 % sestavljeni iz sestavin naravnega izvora. Jaz sama sestavin ne morem komentirati, ker se ne razumem v njih, lahko pa kaj več o njih povejo punce, ki jih razumejo (sem priložila fotko). Ne vsebujejo formaldehida, toluena in BDP-jev. V oceno sem prejela 3v1 lak in lak v odtenku 954.

Hi, girls! Today I'm showing you Lady Lya Bio Nature nail polishes! They're 85 % from natural indigredients and do not contain folmaldehyde, toluene and BDP.


Če povem najprej nekaj besed o laku 3v1. Gre za lak, ki se lahko uporablja kot podlak, nadlak ali pa kot samostojen prozoren lak. Stestirala sem vse 3 možnosti in po mojih izkušnjah se odlično obnese kot samostojen lak, ker daje zelo lep sijaj nohtu, in tudi kot podlak. Po nanosu na gol noht se lak zelo hitro posuši. Kot nadlak mi ni preveč všeč, verjetno zato, ker sem preveč navajena na Essencov hitrosušeč nadlak, ki lak posuši v trenutku. Ta lak se kot nadlak tudi posuši dokaj hitro, po kakih 15 minutah, ampak kljub temu ni popolnoma suh. Nanesla sem ga par ur, preden sem šla spat, ampak so se mi zjutraj vseeno poznali odtisi rjuh na nohtih. Tako da tale lak bo pri meni v uporabi le kot podlak (redko imam gole nohte brez barvnega laka), ker se odlično razume z različnimi znamkami lakov.

First I'm going to review 3in 1 nail polish. It's a polish, that can be used as a base coat, top coat or clear polish. As base coat and clear polish it works great, it gives a shine to nails and it dry fasts. As top coat I don't like it very much. It drys in around 15 minutes, but not 100 %. I applied it few hours before going to bed, but in the morning there were prints from sheets. I'll use it as a base coat, but as a top coat I'll rather use Essence fast drying TC. 


954 je odtenek "mauve" barve, bolj tak umazano pink. Sam lak ima super formulo, ki ne povzroča težav pri nanosu, je pa formula nekje med krem in jelly. Za prekrivnost so potrebni 2-3 sloji, odvisno od tega, kako tanke/debele sloje nanašate. Kar mi je zelo všeč pri tem laku, je čopič. Ravno prave velikosti in malo ploščat, zato se lak z njim res super nanaša. Kot verjetno veste, jaz nikoli ne govorim o obstojnosti lakov, ker pri meni ponavadi zdržijo kak dan, potem pa se mi začnejo krušiti in to ne glede na to, katere znamke lak uporabim. Če perem posodo, mi ne zdržijo niti en dan. Moram pa pohvaliti ta lak. Nosila sem ga le 2 dni, sem pa vmes 4-krat prala posodo in se mi je začel krušiti šele pri zadnjem pranju. Sem pa kot manikuro nosila 3v1 lak kot podlak, 2 sloja odtenka 954 in 3v1 lak kot nadlak. Pri ostalih puncah, ki imate boljše izkušnje z obstojnosti, verjamem, da bi zdržal še dlje.

954 is a mauve shade, that has formula between cream and jelly. Application was good, because the formula is ok and the brush is great. I needed 2 or 3 coats to make it opaque, it depends, if I used thin or thicker coats. It drys fast. I wore it for 2 days as my manicure and although I washed dishes around 4 times in between, it started chipping no sooner than by the last washing, so I think it would last even longer, if I wouldn't wash the dishes.


Odtenek 954 sem pofotkala še z nadlakom in tu se vidi, da daje lak 3v1 odličen sijaj.

I applied 3in1 polish over 954. It gave it a great shine.


Lady Lya Bio Nature laki so na voljo v spletni trgovini Zapikonai, vse odtenke pa si lahko ogledate tukaj. Oba laka, tako 3v1 kot barvni lak, vsebujeta 12 ml izdelka. Embalaža je prav luštna, pokrov je zelen, s čimer nakazujejo, da gre za bio lake.

Ste že preizkusile Lady Lya lake? Kakšno je vaše mnenje o njih? 

Did you try Lady Lya Bio Nature polishes? What's your opinion about them? Thank you for reading!

*Oba izdelka sem prejela v oceno, kar pa ne vpliva na moje mnenje.

NOTD: Misslyn Royal Blue

Hi, girls! In this post I'm showing you swatches of Misslyn Royal Blue polish. Before I continue - you NEED it in your life. :) This polish was a birthday present from my darling and I promised him, I'll wore one of the polishes, he got me, on my birthday day, so I decided for this one. I'm in love (with both of course, my boyfriend and this nail polish :P).



Royal Blue was part of Velvet Diamond collection (I'm not sure, if this one was LE or it will be part of permanent line). I showed you swatches of other 3 polishes from this collection here. I have no idea, why I haven't bought this one at the beginning, because it's the prettiest shade in this collection. It's a royal blue shade with bright blue and violet shimmer. It's a bit darker in person, I don't know, why my camera made it brighter. I wore it without top coat, the rough finish doesn't bother me at all. I used 2 coats, they were enough for full opacity. I love these polishes, I have a feeling, that they last longer on me. I washed dishes wearing this one and it didn't chip at all. Other polishes chip immediatelly, if I'm washing dishes or cleaning. I'm still wearing it and I already see, the removal will be PITA, but it doesn't matter. I'll wore it again soon (after I try my other new goodies).


If you want to see, how it looks with top coat, check Katja's swatches here. Her swatches were the reason, I felt in love with this polish and I wanted to have it. 

What do you think about this shade, do you like it? Thank you for reading!

(Not So) Random Sunday on Monday

Hi, girls! Yesterday I promised you Random Sunday post, but there was something wrong with Blogger in the evening, it just didn't want to upload me photos. I have no idea, what's his problem. So I decided to post it today with a bit different title. 

Essence Choose Me was one of my manicures last week. Amazing polish, I have to wear it more often.


Hiding in a big grass.


Walking in a row home from a walk.


This is me in the eyes of a 6 year old girl.


A rainbow.


Trying new Casali Coco Nuts for the first time. I have to say, I like it more than original.


Everything is blue.


Grandmother gave me some flowers for my birthday. Telling the truth, I have no idea, how are they called (grandmother says, they are called "risarski klinci" in Prekmurje).


Somebody loves ice cream. 


And ice cream for a birthday girl. 

 
Katja from Colorful Harmony was so sweet and she surprised me with a birthday present. She is such an amazing girl, if you still don't follow her blog, go and click follow NOW. She got me blush brush and 2 Flormar polishes P27 and 34. Both shades are gorgeous.


I have the best boyfriend in the world, what can I say. He got me such an amazing present. Beside sweets( which I love love) he also got me 3 perfect shades of nail polishes: Misslyn Royal Blue, Essie Avenue Maintain and Bourjois Amande Defile. I already wore Misslyn polish, you can see it on one of the photos in this post. And now I also have a chance to try another Essie polish, I hope this one will work better. If you want to see swatch of any of the polishes I got, juts let me know. Misslyn swatches will be publish later today.


So, that's it. One day later, but anyway, I hope the start of new week was great and it will continue so. Thank you for reading!

25

Hi, everyone! So, it's that day in a year - my birthday. I'm 25 this year. Gosh, I can't believe, how fast the time is flying by. It's like I've been 15 not so long ago and now I'm already 25. We call this number (at least in my family) "mali abraham". This years birthday is not one of the most prettiest, because my brother is in hospital and I'm so worried for him. I'm hoping for the best. I noticed, that doing nail art relaxes me and helps me forget on my worries for some time, so I decided to do a birthday nail art. This is not my actual birthday NOTD, because after washing dishes and taking shower it already chipped.


First I started with 2 coats of Essence Electric Blue on middle and ring fingers and 2 coats of She 115 on other nails. Then I used my all time favourite mint polish Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet to write numbers 2 and 5. In the end I used different polishes for baloons: Essence Edward, Essence Makes Me Week, Catrice Bye, Bye Birdy and Catrice It Blue My Mind


Later today I'll also publish Random Sunday, so come back to check that post also. I also wanted to open "Birthday Giveaway" today, but because of everything I didn't photograph prizes yet, so I'll do that tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for your wishes on Twitter and Facebook, you're the best readers and friends (I have all of your for my friends) in a whole wide world, I love you all. :*

Products, That Dissapointed Me


Hi, girls! Today I want to share with you a post with products, that I didn't like, when I tried them. I think I'll continue with this kind of posts in future too. 

I'm a huge fan of Balea and I love their products, but that doesn't mean, all products are good to me. Balea Trocken Shampoo in blue packaging totally dissapointed me. It didn't help at all to my greasy hair, they didn't become more fresh or anything. It didn't had any effect on them. I think I'll finish it, because it's still pretty full, but I'll never buy it again. The other Balea product, that dissapointed me, is Forming Water Volumen & Halt. It should give your hair more volume and it should help you to make different hair styles. The only thing, it did to me, is to make my hair more greasy, so I'm throwing it into a trash. The last Balea product is Young Soft&Care 2in1 Intensive pflege&maske fur normale haut. When I was using this, I didn't notice, that it would do something for my skin. Ok, my skin is not very young anymore, but I guess, I would feel its effect anyway. It didn't mousturize my skin and on more sensitive parts it irritated it. The only positive thing by this product it's the smell - it's nice fruity smell, which I like. Dove Silky Dry Deo-Spray is the worse deodorant, I've tried. I don't know, what it did to my skin, but when I was wearing it, my armpit started stinking like hell, although I wasn't sweating. This is definitely going into a trash.


Let's go to some eyeshadow palettes. Revlon ColorStay Azure Mist and Vollare Cosmetics Quatro 29 palettes I used only once, because eyeshadows are so bad pigmented, that when I blended them, they almost dissapear or my makeup looked, like I used only one eyeshadow. Essence Cherry Blossom Girl It's Peach Not Cherry lipstick pencil was also dissapointment. The color is so nice, but pencil looks horrible on lips, it emphasize mistakes and dry parts, so I don't like wearing it on it's own. With lipgloss it looks a bit better. Missy Sporty XX Volume Miss Purple lipgloss I never liked. It's one of those lipglosses, that should make your lips bigger, so it gave you a "burning" feeling on your lips, which was very intensive and I didn't like that, plus lipgloss doesn't last long on lips. Next is Essence blush brush. I really like few of their brushes, like smoky and eyeliner brush, but this one is just bad. It didn't blend blush nicely and after few washes bristles became strange, separated, not in a nice form, as they were at the beginning.


The last product, I want to talk about, is Essie polish in Action. It was part of their limited edition collection last year. Look, what happen to it. I did shake it, but both parts just don't want to mix again. I have many polishes and that never happen before to any of them, so this is a big dissapointment. And it costed 10 €. I guess, I throw this money out of a window.


Did you try any of mentioned products? Which products dissapointed you? Thank you for reading!

Essence Colour and Change Nail Polishes

Hi, girls! Today I'm showing you some old swatches of Essence Colour and Change nail polishes. I got 3 of 4 shades. Although colors are not that special, I really like formula of these polishes. They're very pigmented and it's enough one coat for opacity. Well, on swatches I applied 2 coats from a habit. Because of great pigmentation they're perfect for stamping. They apply really nice and they have metallic finish. They dry pretty fast. If you apply clear polish or top coat over them, they change color. I was using top coat from Fruity TE collection. I'm using these polishes mostly for stamping or nail art.

Kind of Magic is a golden-yellow metallic shade. It changes into an orange shade, when you apply clear polish over it.


Wonderlicious Green is a bright blue metallic shade. After you apply clear polish over it, it becames a bit darker, so I have no idea, why it has a "green" word in its name, because it's not green at all.


Unexpected Galaxy is a dark purple metallic shade with silver glitter, which becomes nice darker purple shade, after you apply clear polish. I actually prefer the color with clear polish.


 Did you try any Color and Change nail polish? What do you think about them? Thank you for reading!

NOTD: Neon Skittle Striping Tape Manicure

Hi, girls! Today I have for you a manicure, that it's currently on my nails. You saw a preview of it in yesterday's Random Sunday. My nails are growing nicely, so soon I'll continue with 31 day challenge (but before I have some old swatches to show you). Today's manicure was inspired by French blogger Pshiiit.


I decided to go with neons for this manicure, because I love nails, that stand out. On 2 accent nails I used a striping tape. I would do them on all, but it seemed to me time consuming. Polishes, I used, are: She 115, Ruby Kisses Tropical Green, CH Nail Lacquer 15, G Cosmetics No. 2, Flormar N015 and China Glaze Sun Worshiper.


Gisela asked me on Facebook to do a tutorial for this manicure. I didn't have time do film a video, so I make a photo tutorial on a nail wheel.

Step 1: Paint your nails with white polish. Wait for it to be completely dry. Here I suggest you to use fast drying top coat, so it will dry faster, otherwise you'll have to wait very long for polish to completely dry. Polish has to be completely dry, otherwise tape can remove pieces of polish and that doesn't look nice.
Step 2: Place pieces of tape on a nail and form them the way, you want your design to look like. Make sure, that a piece of a tape will look across your nail (for easier removal).
Step 3: Paint the squares with color of your choise.
Step 4: Immeditely remove tape from your nail. Help yourself with tweezers. Start with the one, you place the last and finish with the one, you place it first. The desing looks much better, if you remove tape, when the polish is still wet. If you wait, that the polish drys, the tape can make a mess on your nails.
Step 5: Use a top coat to seal your manicure.


I really like, how this turned out. I'm definitely going to try it with some other colors too. I hope, my tutorial was helpful for you and you're going to try it too. 

What do you think about this manicure, do you like it? Thank you for reading!

Random Sunday #28

Hi, girls! How are you? It's Sunday and Sunday means randomness on my blog. 

I really like Beauty World drugstore. They have Essence and Catrice stand and usually you can find untouched limited editions there, because not a lot of people are buying there. They still have Catrice Big City Life collection. They also have Kinetics polishes, which are good quality.


Enjoying alone in a coffeehouse, while waiting for an important meeting. 


The package is waiting for me on the post. Although I was at home, when postman came, he didn't call me. That never happened to me before. What was in the package, I'll let you know soon. :)


My new owl necklace. I love it.


I love neon nails lately. This manicure was inspired by MissJenFabulous. Mine isn't as perfect as hers, but people commented, that they like it and I liked it too. I used Ruby Kisses Tropical Green, CH Nail Lacquer 15 and a random black polish.


Coffee to go. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but in this post I already showed you 2 photos with coffee (shame on me:P). I don't know, why, but I like coffee with milk on Petrol very much.


Slovenian group Modrijani. Ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti moja rožica ...


My current manicure. I told you, I'm into neon nail polishes lately. :P More about it tomorrow in separated post.


"Ku-kuc."


"I don't want to go further for a walk. Let's play."


The last thing I wanted to say, is THANK YOU! There are more than 1000 of you, following my blog via GFC, and more than 500 of you, liking my Facebook page. You're the best. :)


That's it for this week. Next Sunday will be pretty special. Why? Because I have a Birthday! I think I'll have some interesting photos next Sunday too. Have a gorgeous week. Thank you for reading!
