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... 

Rainbow Challenge Day 3 - Yellow

I like yellow on me and I just found this out recently, when I got a neon yellow for review. I used to think it was one of those colours I would never wear and I bought one just to use in nail art.

This is what I had on my nails when I decided to enter this challenge, so I've been saving this photos to post on this day, as I only have one more yellow and it was posted here already.

I did this manicure for one of the portuguese FB groups, the theme for that week was animals and I came up with an owl. xD

This is 3 coats of Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear, topped with another 2 coats of Whimsical by Revlon. That's a lot of coats, but moving on to the photos:

For this I used:
- Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow
- Revlon Whimsical
- Revlon Colorstay Coastal Surf
- Eyeko Rain
- Andreia #19
- Dotting tools
- Head pin
- Nail art brush
- Paper reinforcements

Again, not my style, but I'll admit I have so much fun making stuff like this!

Once again, here's the list of all the girls taking part of this challenge:

Rainbows! Rainbows everywhere!

Eeek! What have I done? xD

A while ago I ordered some cheap nail art brushes from Deal Extreme and after 3 weeks of waiting, they finally arrived on friday, but I had no idea of what to do with them at the time. Then, this past sunday, I was bored and saw that one of the FB groups I'm in is having a weekly "contest" and this week's theme was rainbows! I wanted to take part in it and it was also a great excuse to try out my new brushes and also get me out of my confort zone.

After going through my nail polish stash, trying to pick some colours, I realized that, in 109 nail polishes, I didn't have any oranges or a light blue that I could use for the sky! That left me no choice but to mix my own and that was a completely new experiencie for me. It went kind of ok, but the formula of my base colour sucked balls! xD Seriously, it was the hardest thing ever to apply.

Here are all the colours I used:

 For the base colour I mixed:

• Revlon Colorstay #170 Coastal Surf

• Yolizul 164 (used it for the clouds too)

 Yay! I did a rainbow with all 7 colours! xD
Here's what I used (following the colours of the rainbow from red to violet):

• Andreia #40
• The orange was a mix between the previous one with the yellow
• Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear #27 Mellow Yellow
• Sally Hansen Hard as Nails #620 Limestone
• Essence Colour & Go # 55 Let's Get Lost
• Kiko #334 
• Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure #409 Good to Grape

 And here is how my rainbows looked like:

 

It looked cute, turned out better than I expected, but soooooo not my style! Obviously, I took it all out the next day...
