[ABC Nails] F is for Flormar

Hi hi! Welcome to another post of the ABC Nails Challenge that I'm doing with Maggie and Rosana.

We're a bit late this time, but the girls are at the middle of some exams, so we couldn't post this on monday, as usual.

For this week's challenge I decided to try a Flormar that I have since past summer. I bought it, but then I saw how sheer it was, so I never bothered putting it on my nails, until this weekend.

I went with some kind of skittlelette using Flormar LS05, Cliché Rainha and Kiko 616 for the stamping.

Olá olá! Sejam bem vindas a mais um dia do desafio ABC Nails, que estou a fazer com a Maggie e a Rosana.

Estamos um pouco atrasadas desta vez, mas elas andam em exames, por isso, em vez de publicarmos na segunda, decidimos adiar para hoje.

Para o desafio desta semana, escolhi um Flormar que tenho desde o verão passado. Comprei-o, mas depois quando vi que era tão ralinho, pu-lo de parte até este passado fim de semana.

Fiz uma espécie de skittlelette usando então, o Flormar LS05, Cliché Rainha e Kiko 616 para o carimbo.











Like I said before, the Flormar is quite sheer, it required 3 generous coats and I can still see my VNL, but that didn't really bothered me in this case, as I found it to look so elegant on my nails. Its formula is also a bit too liquid and will flood the cuticules if not applied carefully.

On my index I have 2 coats of Cliché Rainha, a lovely textured silver polish. I really like this one! The formula is pretty great, and just for 1€!

The stamping on my middle and ring finger was done with Kiko 616, using my newest acquisition, the Stampaholics ST04 plate. I'm in love with this plate, it became one of my favourites, as soon as I got it in the mail. I didn't take a photo of it, but you can go here and check all the plates the lovely Ana created. 

Finally, on my pinky, I applied a tiny nail crystal, to tie together the entire look. My boyfriend didn't like the crystal though, he said I ruined the mani with it, but I think it would look weird without it. What do you think?

And that's it for today's post, don't forget to check the other girls blogs to see what they came up with.

Como já perceberam, o Flormar não tem muito poder de cobertura, tive de aplicar 3 camadas generosas e ainda se consegue ver o branquinho da minha unha. Felizmente, foi algo que não me aborreceu muito com esta cor, já que o achei tão elegante nas minhas unhas. A sua fórmula, também, é um bocado liquida e pode inundar as cuticulas, caso não seja aplicado com cuidado.

No meu indicador, tenho 2 camadas do Cliché Rainha, um verniz prateado, e texturado, muito giro. Gosto mesmo deste Rainha! A fórmula dele é excelente e já todas sabemos que só custa 1€!

O carimbo no meu dedo médio e anelar, foi feito com o Kiko 616 e com a minha mais recente aquisição, a plaquinha Stampaholics ST04. Estou completamente perdida de amores por esta plaquinha, tornou-se uma das minhas preferidas assim que chegou no correio! Não lhe tirei foto, mas podem ir aqui espreitar as placas que a simpática Ana criou.

Finalmente, no meu mindinho, apliquei um pequeno cristal para compor o look final. O meu namorado não gostou nada que o tivesse colocado, disse que tinha estragado uma manicure tão gira com ele, mas acho que ia ficar estranho sem nada ali. O que acham vocês, concordam com ele?

E por hoje é tudo, não se esqueçam de dar um saltinho aos blogs das outras meninas e ver o que elas prepararam para a letra F.

[ABC Nails] C is for Color Club

Hello hello!

Today, I bring you an amazing holo by Color Club, and I really mean AMAZING! It is called Cloud Nine and I never thought I would love it as much as I did. You see, I really don't like pink on my nails, and whenever I buy one, I end up regreting it because I hate how they look on my skintone...Not this one though! I'm not even convinced this is pink, maybe a bit more lilac than pink? I don't know...all I know is that it is on my nails since thursday night, and I'm still not tired of it. Now that's a record! xD

For this manicure, I decided to pair Cloud Nine with São Marcos by the portuguese brand Cliché. This one is quite new, since they just released it with their new collection. I used 2 coats of Cloud Nine, 2 coats of São Marcos and then I stamped over it, using my Moyou Pro Collection 02.

Olá olá!

Cá estou eu, mais uma vez, desta feita com um holo maravilhoso da Color Club, e quando digo maravilhoso, é porque é mesmo MARAILHOSO! Chama-se Cloud Nine e nunca pensei que fosse gostar tanto dele como gostei. É que eu não gosto nada de ver rosa nas minhas unhas, e sempre que compro algum acabo por me arrepender porque detesto ver como ficam com o meu tom de pele...Mas este não! Eu até nem estou muito convencida que ele seja rosa, talvez mais a puxar para o lilás? Não sei...só sei q está nas minhas unhas desde quinta à noite e ainda não me fartei dele. Acho que temos recorde! xD

Para esta manicure, decidi juntar o Cloud Nine com o São Marcos da Cliché. Este último é bastante recente, já que acabou de ser lançado com a última colecção deles. Usei 2 camadas de ambos, e carimbei por cima do Cliché, usando uma Moyou Pro Collection 02.



   


(Just look at that rainbow!! *-*)

I was scared that Cloud Nine would be a bitchy holo, and would drag and pull while being applied, so I wore it on top of my Peel Off base coat, from Essence. I heard that helps, but no idea...it was easy breezy to apply this holo polish on top of it, though. No bitchiness whatsoever! :P Oh, and I also topped it off with Seche Vite, and as you can see, all the holo goodness is still there. I think this means I need more Color Club holos in my life.

I was also scared that São Marcos would be crap! I don't have a good experience with Cliché's nail polishes, the ones I got so far (excluding their sand collection) all had really bad formulas. Some were too sheer and required waaaaay too many coats to look presentable, others were just really bad to apply and would always look like a streaky mess. I have to say that this one, was a nice surprise and was looking perfect with just 2 coats. And it's a pastel!!! Cliché, you might have made me a fan! With good formulas like this, really cute colours and with the price tag of 1€, who needs anything else?

Okay, I'm finally up to date with this challenge, and from now on, I'll be posting it on mondays, every other week. Don't forget to visit the other bloggers that are doing this challenge with me, Rosana and Maggie.

Have a nice week!

Estava com um pouco de medo que o Cloud Nine fosse um daqueles holos terriveis de aplicar, daqueles que arrastam e deixam zonas peladas e que nos deixam com uma valente dor de cabeça, por isso apliquei-o por cima da Peel Off da Essence. Ouvi dizer que ajuda, mas não faço ideia...Posso é dizer que foi extremamente fácil de aplicá-lo assim. Não houve cá dor de cabeça! :P Ah, e por cima dele apliquei o Seche Vite e a holografia continuou lá todinha, como se pode ver pelas fotos. Acho que isto significa que preciso de mais holográficos da Color Club na minha vida.

Também estava com muito medo que o São Marcos fosse uma valente porcaria! A minha experiência com a Cliché não é muito boa, e todos os que tenho até agora (com excepção dos sand deles) têm fórmulas terriveis. Alguns requerem trezentas mil camadas antes de ficarem apresentáveis, outros são péssimos de aplicar e nunca ficam niveladinhos e bonitinhos. Tenho de admitir que este foi uma agradável surpresa e ficou perfeitinho com apenas 2 camadas. E é um pastel!! Cliché, pode ser que tenhas conseguido uma nova fã aqui! Com boas fórmulas como esta, cores sempre giras e com o preço de 1€, que mais se pode pedir?

Bom, agora que já estou a par das minhas colegas, vou passar a postar este desafio às segundas feiras, de 15 em 15 dias. Não se esqueçam de visitar o blog da Rosana e da Maggie também, e ver o que elas andaram a postar.

Tenham uma boa semana!

Saturday Spam

Hi!
I'm still here! I've been a very bad blogger lately, so thanks to all of you who stuck with me.

Today I won't be showing you one polish or some nail art I did, I'm going t be showing you lots! One of the reasons I don't post as much is that I've become overwhelmed with the amount of old swatches and manicures I've done, that never saw the light of day this in the blog, I find it hard to not post the new stuff I do, but then I end up not posting at all because I know that I have lots of old photos that still need some editing and posting...So, today, I finally decided that I should just post them all (or almost all, saved some reviews and manis I thought deserved more than just one photo).

Here they are:

Olá!
Ainda ando por aqui! Tenho sido uma péssima blogger ultimamente, por isso agradeço a todas as que continuam deste lado a ler-me.

Hoje não vos vou mostrar apenas um verniz ou nail art, mas sim vários! Uma das razões por que não tenho postado ultimamente, é precisamente por ter muita coisa atrasada e por isso fico sem saber para onde me virar. Fica dificil postar as manicures mais recentes sabendo que tenho tantas fotos por editar e que nunca viram a luz do dia neste blog...Assim, hoje decidi postar tudo (salvo algumas reviews e manicures que achei merecerem mais de uma foto) de uma vez só.


Aqui estão elas:


2 coats of Ozotic 532 over black (lightbox)

2 coats of Ozotic 532 over black (shade)

2 coats of Revlon Royal Cloak 

2 coats of Claire's no number 

3 coats of H&M Take Me Tangerine

3 coats Flormar 444 (notice how the colour looks 
completely different from the bottle)

2 coats of Hits Powerful

4 coats of Up Colors Cromoterapia
(didn't layer it over black)

2 coats of Yes Love K034 stamped with Kiko 399
(DRK-B plate)

1 coat of Cliché Madona over black
The red glitter is from Marylins 117 nail polish

2 coats of Essence Hazelnut Cream Pie,
stamped with Kiss nail art striper in black (DRK-B plate)

New Year's Eve/my birthday mani
2 coat's of Claire's matte black
1 coat of Essence Julia on the middle finger
Kiss nail art striper in white
Risqué Arábia on the cupcake base
Stamped with Essence Stampy Silver and plates DRK-B and CK-04

Ok, now I'm more up to date and I think I can manage the blogging better from now on. :P

Let me know what's your favourite look/nail polish on me. ^^

Ok, agora isto já fica mais actualizado e fica mais fácil para mim escolher o que postar a seguir. :P

Digam-me qual o vosso "look" preferido em mim! ^^

No buy...yeah, right!

I was supposed to spend the summer on a "no buy", I thought it would be easy since I was going to my parents house and there are ALMOST no places where I could buy nail polishes around here...but I failed!

I figured this would be my last buy before restricting myself on buying polishes, until october...

Ozotic 532 and Hits Air Glow

A couple of weeks after, I went with a friend to a huge chinese store, as she wanted to buy some cheap stuff for her new house, and what I found there left me stunned...rows and rows filled with all kinds of nail polish that I could never get a hold of in my city! She was buying some for herself and I just couldn't leave empty handed, could I? So I bought 3 magnetic nail polishes for 1,50€ each and 3 glitters for 1€ each.

Love Me 203, 201, 401

Marylins 117, 119, 121


A couple of days later, Kiko releases a new LE collection...HOLOS!! So I asked Ana, from O Meu Maior Vicio to get me the gold/taupe one and the blue/green/whatever one. I sold the blue/green/whatever one as soon as I got it, because it was just like Up Colors Verde 360º (that I had on my nails the day I got the Kiko's package), but kept the other one and fell in love with it. Around the same time, I went with my boyfriend to another chinese store, here near my parent's house and bought a gold nail polish for stamping, and several nail art polishes for stamping too (all for 1€ each).

Kiko 399, Marylins 109

Marylins 23, 17, 14, 20, 18

I shared some of my buys with Cristina, from The Clockwise Nail Polish, and she asked me if I could get her the black glitter like mine, and so I did...And the chinese store had lots of new polishes and I don't even know how I didn't buy more! xD My boyfriend was with me and I kept repeating "Please get me out of here before I buy everyone of these!". He didn't pay much attention to my pleas and I ended up leaving with 4 new polishes for myself and 1 for Cristina... -.-' (again, 1€ each]
Yes Love L006 (already reviewed here), K032, K034, K011

And finally...I was searching for Revlon Royal Cloak for a while now, but whenever I found it online, shipping was always too expensive for my liking, so when I saw that Claudia, from Holographic Hussy, had 1 up for sale, I grabbed it, MINE! It just got here today...Oh, and on my last trip to the chinese store, I picked up another goodie from a portuguese brand...

Revlon Royal Cloak and Cliché Siamês

I think I might have a problem...but then again, it's not like I have too much nail polish, I only have 179 in my stash, that's not too much, right? RIGHT?? So why should I restrict myself from buying what I like and makes me happy? I don't get it...

Well, enough with the "no buy" thing, it clearly doesn't work for me...
