NOTD – Lace / French manicure nails

It’s just a tiny post, just for update.

I had limited time lately, because I am looking for a job. Sorry for my absence. I will post more soon, I have enough things that I want to post about 🙂

NOTD -Cloud nails from "Nailside"

Hello Girls!

Weather is getting warmer, right? Time to have some more bright nails, to match the season!

♥

As I wrote in my previous post, I bought an essence polish.. So I though I’d use it , but also I wanted to do something different.

I follow a great and talented blogger , and her blog is nailside.blogspot.com  , and here is her tutorial how to make this cloud nail pattern nails!

So, credits to her:)

Here is what I used:

Essence’s top coat, essence Rassberry swirl, an Olivia (1€ brand) blue color and OPI’s Alpine snow. My base was essence’s new color.

(Sorry for my cuticles. I have an allergy cause due to acrylics.. now are in a ”good” shape, they used to be hard as rock, and yellow)

 

Hope you liked it !

Have an amazing weekend 🙂

Love

V.

Magnetic Nail Polish : Imagnet by Tommy G

Hello there!
Long time no post, and long time no nail post so it’s about time…
Before swatching it, a small welcome/thank you note to my new – Greek followers
♥

” Καλως ήρθατε στο blog μου ! Χαίρομαι πολύ που βρήκα πολλές Ελληνίδες  bloggers, που μοιράζονται την ίδια τρέλα με μένα…Να’ναι καλά το Greek Beauty Bloggers :)..

Προς το παρόν γράφω μόνο στα αγγλικά, έαν κάποια θέλει να γράφω και ελληνικά, θα το τολμήσω…

Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ και πάλι…”

♥

And now I introduce you .. the magnetic nail polish…

Imagnet art, by Tommy G.

….A little info about Tommy G.…

Again, Tommy G is a Greek brand producted within EU. It’s part of a bigger company that produces some more cosmetics . You can find their English website here.

I like their nail polishes a lot, and I love  the Keratin base coat, which made my nails hard as rock 🙂  (their sub-brand layla has also very nice nail polishes that last a lot to my nails)

Now, the Imagnet …

(Right-Click + View image  to see them full-size)

I have purchase the nail polish in 2 colors (so far). Silver/grey and burgundy/pink. How the nail is going to look is that the cap , and its pretty accurate, I must say…

 

The secret lies not only in the ingridients of the nail polish (I guess), but also at the magnet in the top of the cap. The shape you are going to have is depended on how you ll hold the cap…

Enough with the theory now… Let’s see it in action….

For start, I applied ”Nail envy” from OPI as a base coat to my ugly looking nails…

 

I put one layer (you can add more if you want) of the magnetic nail laquer and immidiately (before it starts drying), I put the magnet as shown in the picture. The direction that the ”line” of the magnet has, determines the pattern…

As you can see, before having the magnet THAT close to the nail, is simply a nail polish. A metallic nail polish (of course you can wear it just like that, but I find it pointless to use this polish for the wrong reasons..anyway…)

Here are the  angles I tried to some of my nails…

You can do more ”complicated” nail art, by painting your nail in steps, like I did.. (Clumsily, I must admit)

I decided to make to make the simple sided pattern, so here is the final look :

I think they look very nice (the final look, not my awfully looking hands with the tones of cuticles there). Its a very unique result, with no effort, that costs around 7€.

What do you think?

See you soon.

Lots of Love

Seventeen nail polish No.504

Well… Some small notes before my swatch:

– I really-really DON’T paint my nails with dark colors when they are long. This is something I do NOT like…

But… This is the first time in my life that my nails are so strong and they don’t break.. I have them long for a long time now.. But….

Its winter, Christmas is coming, and I can’t really have them french manicured all the time, or pinky summer colors…

If you don’t like long nails with strong colors, yeah , we are on the same boat, so… just an exception for this time…

– The brand is called Seventeen. I always thought that it was an international brand, but only recently I realised that I haven’t seen them anywhere else except Greece. And its bad cause its a good brand, have a big variety of colors (especially in nail polishes) and have some of my favorite products (eg. the concealer stick)

So……

Seventeen nail polish no 504 :

I ll be honest here. I just wanted to buy a black nail polish and I was in hurry. The blacks were not in stock (didn’t notice) so I grabbed what it looked like black in my eyes ….

When I got home, I realised that its not black. Well it is, but also has shimmery red in it.!

So, I tried it ! I loved it in instance, and I think that is a very suitable color , especially for that period of time….

Its a black color, with red shimmery. What is amazing, is that in the sun, it gives the gold effect, that I love..!!!

With no direct light and semi-direct light

Direct light (the gold effect) :

A small Greek note:

Εαν θέλετε , μπορώ να κάνω τα swatches και στα Ελληνικά!

Welcome to my World… Princesa’s world of beauty

Hello All,

This is V. calling.. I am from Greece, I am 27, and … here I am …

This is my first beauty blog.To be honest, I always wanted to make a youtube channel to swatch beauty products but I am not an English native speaker, and I am not even fluent in English (and of course my very Greek accent doesn’t really help anyway )
So, I decided to start with a blog. Not that I am not going to make spelling or grammar mistakes, but  this will be easier for me, and I wish, less irritating for you….

Very soon, I will start posting nail polish and cosmetic swatches…

So welcome to my blog
Lots of Love

V.
