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! ^^

Disco ball anyone?

It finally feels like summer here, a little bit too much in my opinion. Last week it was cloudy and windy all the time and we even had some rain, but things took a turn during the weekend and now we have a full force sun with temperatures over 30C! Even the wind is hot as hell! I'm not a fan of this heat, I feel better with temperatures between 22-27C. All this to say that this was the perfect time to take another holographic polish out of the drawer, and it was Hits Antena moment to shine.

Like I've said so many times before, I'm not a fan of pink, but occasionally a pink nail polish wons me over. It was the case with Atena. It has a beautiful colour, the formula was pretty good and I had a perfect coverage with 2 coats. I may be weird, but I really like Hits brushes. xD

On my ring finger I placed some holographic silver glitter that I bought at some local chinese store. Once again, these were placed one by one and it took me about 45min to get the full nail. It reminds me of a disco ball and it sparkles so much! It gets everyone's attention and it's kind of blinding under the sun.

Here's the end result, I'm a bit sad that I couldn't get more of the holography on my photos, but I always struggle with this.

I think it's time to file down my nails again, after they reach a certain lenght I start disliking what I see on my photos...What do you think, do I look better with shorter nails or you prefer them like this?

Up Colors Verde 360º with handplaced glitter

Hey everyone!

First of all, I'm so sorry for being away for so long, but with my brazilian friend here we spent all our time travelling around the country and I didn't have a chance to post or even do my nails properly. Hope you girls can forgive me for disappearing on you.

Today I bring you my favourite holographic nail polish so far, I'm in love with this colour and the holo is amazing! Even now, that it's dark here and I'm under a weak lamp, I can still see the holographic effect on it.
This one is really pigmented, it was perfect with 1 coat but I still applied 2, the brush on it was a bit weird though, I felt like it was too long, but I still did ok with it.

For the accent nail, I used some glitter that I bought while visiting Lisbon, it's from Essence and it's a loose glitter for nail art and I handplaced it one by one. This wasn't my idea, I took inspiration on Laura from Polish All the Nails and she has an awesome tutorial on how to achieve this look, I don't know how she does a full manicure with this though, it took me almost 1h to do only one nail and I gave up after that, didn't even do it on my right hand! xD But I do love how it looks, gotta love all the glitter! *-*

My pictures don't really show how much holography this nail polish has, the weather was quite crappy and cloudy when I took these...

And that's it for today!

PS - The giveaway has ended and I already know who's the winner, so expect  a post about that sometime tomorrow. Good night!
