[ABC Nails] G & H is for Gosh and Hard Candy


Hey everyone! 

I know, I know...I come and go, but this time it wasn't really my choice, my internet was being a b*tch to me and my landlord is very slow taking care of things like this. But hey, I finally made it! Now I'll just be playing catch up again...story of my life! xD 


Ok, so if you guys recall, I was doing the ABC Nail Challenge with Rosana and Maggie before I stopped posting. They continued to do so, and now I will be trying to catch up to them, which will be difficult, since they're already on L and I stopped at F! Let's do this and start with G and H on the same post. 

For the letter G, I chose Gosh. It's not a brand I really love, I mostly never buy from them, but I really like the colours that I do have, especially this one, Miss Minty. 

In this manicure I'm wearing 2 coats of Gosh Miss Minty, 2 coats of Marylins 109 on my middle finger and 2 coats of Innisfree 101on my ring finger. On my index I tried, for the first time, a stamping decal. For that I used the Marylins, Kiko 705 to fill in the feathers and a Gals GA38 plate.  










For the letter H, I went with Hard Candy, Lava. I got this tiny bottle as a gift, from a blogsale purchase, for over 2 years now, and if it wasn't for this challenge, I guess I would never use it. Which is sad, cause it is really gorgeous! Downside is that it stains like no tomorrow! Cuticules and nails...I only had this for 1 day, and it turned my nails completely pink! For me, that is unacceptable...

I had no idea of what to do with it, and I think I must have spent an hour or so, sitting on the floor, trying to find a good match for it. I finally chose Misa Catch a Flick. On my thumb and index, I stamped using a BM-323 plate and Konad white.













 And that's it for today's post, hope you enjoyed it.

Have a great week!

Expocosmética 2013

WARNING: This is going to be a long, long post, with lots of photos!!
Aviso: Este post vai ser muito, muito longo e recheadinho de fotos!!

This weekend, we had here in Porto, a cosmetics fair with all you can imagine about hair, make up, skin care and, obviously, nails! I'm not going to lie...of course I went for the nail polish! :P

I took lots of photos to share, but unfortunely, I still failed to photograph lots of brands that were there, as I was too excited about their polishes. But without further ado, here they are:

Este fim de semana, tivemos aqui no Porto, uma feira de cosméticos, com tudo o que se possa imaginar sobre cabelos, maquilhagem, produtos de pele e, obviamente, unhas! Eu não vos vou mentir, o meu interesse na feira era, puramente, pelos os vernizes! :P

Tirei montes de fotos para partilhar, mas infelizmente, acabei por falhar e esquecer de tirar foto a muitas marcas que lá se encontravam. Mas sem mais demoras, aqui estão elas:

Andreia, a portuguese brand, very well known here.

I had a wonderful day with these girls, with was soooo much fun! I also got to know lots of other bloggers, but I have to say, the ones I was most excited about meeting were Cristina, Bárbara and Luisa! We've been talking for so long now, that it really felt good to see them in person and talk with them, even if it was just for a brief while (we were about to leave, and really dead and tired, when they finally got there :P).

Passei um dia excelente, na companhia destas meninas, foi incrivelmente divertido! Também conheci várias outras bloggers, mas devo dizer que estava mais excitada por finalmente conhecer a Cristina, a Bárbara e a Luisa! Já falamos há tanto tempo, que foi, realmente bom vê-las em pessoa e conversar com elas, nem que tenha sido, por apenas um breve momento (nós já estavamos de saída, e mais que mortas e cansadas, quando elas finalmente chegaram.
