Deborah 102 Top Coat 3D Tech

Long time without posts, I know. I was on holiday in an internet-less place, then I had problems with blogspot... anyway, here's my holiday nails!
The basis is Essence Nail Art Twins Chuck 07, an indigo blue creme, and over it, a couple of coats of the Deborah top coat. The top coat base is slightly violet, and it contains flakies that go from light blue to violet, such a beauty! It was in my wishlist for a while, so finding it for 1 euro was definitely great.
Overall this mani lasted for more than a week, I'm impressed!

Generally speaking, I'm spending the summer in a place where there's just Kiko (and Sephora) and I miss my routine checks at the Catrice & Essence displays... I wanna do some shopping!

Sinful Cuteness

The title kinda sounds like a band name. Anyway, since I'm going away for the weekend I decided to add some cute details to Sinful Colors Cinderella, some cute glitters (Sweets way by Nails Inc) on the tips and a ribbon made with Kiko 375.

I don't know why but sometimes I feel the need to wear something cute and super-girly, like this.

Have a good weekend, y'all!

Sinful Colors Cinderella

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to another polish that's a pain the neck to capture in photos:

It's sunny at least and I managed to take a photo with natural light!


It's a pastel light blue with gold and pink microflakes. I find the name very accurate!
When I saw that Coin had put on a Sinful Colors display I decided I absolutely needed to try something, the price is low and the colors are beautiful. I fell in love with Gorgeous, that I didn't buy yet, and ended up with Cinderella instead. Later I remembered having read reviews of it and was even more eager to try it on.
You know when sometimes a polish seems beautiful in the bottle then you try it on and it's just not as great? Well, Cinderella is not that kind of polish. What the bottle promises, you'll get it. It is, however, very sheer, you will need at least three coats.
I am very happy with this purchase, I recommend it.
Vote: A-.

My lack of posts lately is due the university and my lack of time, I usually paint my nails in the evening after dinner but now that I have to go to bed considerably earlier, it doesn't have time to dry. My last experiment, that was supposed to be another Historical Figure mani, came out as a fail also because of this. Plus, let's face it, sephora polishes take centuries to dry.

Mini Essence Haul and Reviews

I've been away for a few days around Valentine's day, and I was pleased to come back and see my blog had a lot of visits especially on Valentine's day, that was unexpected, so thank you!

I have many things to post about, let's start with my small Essence haul: some Essence products will be discontinued and were on sale, so I bought the two Colour3 polishes I wanted and a nail polish from the Snow Jam LE. I had to celebrate the end of exams, after all.

A Walk in the Park + Stop for an Ice Cream, Life is a Freeride, Midnight Date + The City that Never Sleeps.

And, since I was in a good mood, I tried them all the same afternoon:

This is two coats of Midnight Date, A Walk in the Park, Life is a Freeride.

 The two Colour3 polishes with their assigned top polish, and, you can barely see it, an experiment with Midnight Date and Stop for an Ice Cream: mixing the tops was fun!

...and everything went matte! Life is a Freeride looks so splendid! I am really happy with those polishes, if you still find something in stores, buy'em. I've read of people complaining for Essence's new brushes, but I think they're really good to work with.

Review: They all get an A! Especially if you consider that the Colour3 polishes were at 1.19 euros each..

Stay tuned for details, tomorrow I'll post my Valentine's Day nails and the special gift I received..it's nail related!
