Girly Pink Gradient!

I am not the kind of girl that wears pink, it's not that I don't like it, I just don't care for it, it's one of those colours that have no interest to me. Despite that, last monday I found myself staring at this matte pink I had since Christmas, but had never felt like using it, so I thought "why not?" and gave it a go. It turned out to be really cute, and pretty good for nail polish bought at the chinese store! Spanish brand though :P

So I started off with this:

but after a bit looking at my fingers  I felt like it needed something more, so I decided it was time to try a gradient with 2 colours for the first time (my first one only involved glitter, nothing else), and came to the conclusion that my new Orly would be a perfect match for it. And so the sponging began!
It was easier than what I thought it would be and the colours blended so well together. I finished it using my Gosh matte top coat, but in the pictures you can still see the reflection of the light, even though it didn't shine at all.

Here's the final result:

I was really proud of it, I think I did good for a first time, don't you agree? :P

Here's some pictures of the polishes I used to get this, Yesensy #36 Matte and Orly Rock It:

Unfortunately, it didn't last for long...not because it chipped or the tipwear was unbeareble, nope...I just got tired of the pink and by thursday night I couldn't stand to look at it anymore. I'm really not a pink girl...

Starting off with Fowl Play

  So here I am, jumping on the nail polish blog's bandwagon!

  Well, since this is my first post I think I should talk a bit about myself and my polish addiction. For starters, I'm portuguese but decided it was best to type in english, this way I can reach more people all over the world. I'm  28 years old and started collecting nail polish when I was 14 years old. At the time, my mom went on a trip to Canada and all I wanted her to bring me was nail polish, and she did! Lots!! I was so excited with all the colours that I used to paint my nails every night. No matter what, my nails had to match what I was going to wear to school the next day! After a while I stopped and the polishes were stored away. Unfortunately I only have 3 left from that collection, the others end up in the garbage a while back.
  Four or five years ago I started buying nail polish again and doing my nails 2-3 times a week, but my boyfriend didn't like it and after so many complains I stopped again, until we broke up for a few months during last year. I went straight back to my good old habit and nothing will stop me now! He still complains, but I just pretend not to listen.

  

  All this just to finally say that, even if started buying nail polish so many years ago, I don't own a huge collection, it's still under 70 polishes, but since I love taking pictures of it whenever I paint my nails, I felt like creating this blog so I could share them (not that they are anything special) and keep them organized.

  Ok, enough blabbering and lets get to the star of this post. This is Orly's Fowl Play, I got it yesterday on the mail and couldn't wait to try it out. It's my first Orly and I'm already in love with it, the formula was great and very easy to apply. I needed 3 coats to reach full opacity but it still dried pretty fast.

  So here are the pictures! Finally xD

Oh, look at all the pretty colours *-*
