Moyou + Dance Legend = ♥

Hi everyone! ^^ How are you all doing?

A couple of weeks ago, I received some pretty amazing nail mail! I got 2 of the new Moyou plates for review and a Dance Legend group order, that I organized waaaaaay back, in May. Yes, they took almost 4 months to get here, it was a long wait. Anyway, I only ordered 1 for me (was kind of broke at the time), but I was so happy to have 25 Dance Legends with me for a weekend, before I shipped them to their rightful owners. I kept staring at them, and wishing I could have them all to myself. xD Still, I got to wear 2 of them already!! Cristina, from The Clockwise Nail Polish blog, surprised me and said I could pick one of hers and use it, before it got shipped to her. Tough choice though...she ordered a few and they were all so gorgeous! I ended up going with High Voltage, which is an holographic blue.

Let's talk about plates, now. Like I said before, Moyou sent me 2 plates for review. They were really nice and even told me I could choose which ones I wanted, I went with Pro Collection 02 and Pro Collection 08.
The plates are amazing! I've already did a few manicures with them (I'll be posting some more later), and they stamp great! Here are some photos of the plates:

Olá a todos! ^^ Como têm andado?

Há coisa de 2 semanas atrás, eu recebi uns pacotinhos maravilhosos no correio! Recebi 2 placas da Moyou para review e ainda, uma encomenda de grupo, da marca russa, Dance Legend, que foi organizada no início de maio, mas só chegou até nós, quase, 4 meses depois. Foi uma longa espera...Eu só encomendei 1 para mim, na altura (andava meio lisa), mas fiquei toda satisfeita por ter 25 Dance Legends comigo, durante um fim de semana inteiro, antes de os enviar para as suas donas. Passei a vida a olhar para eles e a desejar que pudesse ficar com eles só para mim. xD Ainda assim, acabei por usar 2 destes meninos! A Cristina, do blog The Clockwise Nail Polish, surpreendeu-me e disse que podia escolher um dos dela, para usar antes de enviá-los. Foi uma escolha difícil...ela encomendou uns poucos e eram todos tão lindos! Acabei por escolher o High Voltage, um verniz holográfico azul.

Vamos falar de placas, agora.  Como eu já vos disse, a Moyou enviou-me 2 placas para review. Foram muito simpáticos e até me deixaram escolher as que queria. Fui pela Pro Collection 02 e Pro Collection 08.
As placas são lindas! Já fiz umas quantas manicures com elas (vou postar mais, brevemente), e carimbam mesmo muito bem. Aqui têm fotos das minhas placas:

You can see that they have some really intricate designs! I didn't test them all yet, but the ones I did try, worked great.
You should be careful if you're ordering these and have really long or wide nails, though. The first plates that came out are on the small size, the designs are about 1.2x1.5cm, so if your nails are bigger than that, just go for the XL collections, that are 1.5x2.0cm.

For my first  "Moyou mani", I chose the Pro Collection 08 plate, the middle design on the first row. I stamped with Dance Legend High Voltage, over GL Nails #22.

Como podem ver, as placas têm desenhos bastante intrincados! Não os testei a todos ainda, mas aqueles que testei, funcionaram perfeitamente.
Têm é de ter cuidado, caso queiram encomendar as placas e têm unhas bastante compridas, ou largas. As primeiras  placas que saíram possuem desenhos pequenos, cerca de 1,2x1,5cm, por isso se as tens unhas maiores que isto, convém optar pela colecção XL, que possui desenhos com 1,5x2,0cm.

Para a minha primeira "manicure Moyou", escolhi a placa Pro Collection 08 e o desenho do meio, da primeira fila. Carimbei com o Dance Legend High Voltage, sobre o GL Nails nº22. 

If you're interested and would like to check out these, or Moyou's other plates, you can head on to their website or Facebook page. Their plates are out of this world, and the latest collection, Artist, has some of the most stunning plates I've ever seen! 

Se ficaram interessadas e gostariam de ver estas, ou outras placas da marca, podem ir ao website da Moyou, ou à sua página de Facebook. As placas são de outro mundo, e a última colecção que saiu, a Artist, tem algumas das placas mais bonitas que já vi!

You can get addicted to a certain kind of...manicure!

Quick post today, with lots of photos, just to say, YES! I'm definitely addicted to what I'm about to show you. Holos and stamping! *-*

(Let's start with the ugly photos...don't know what happened with my settings in these ones, but yuck! >.<)

Post rapidinho hoje, com muitas fotos, apenas para dizer que, SIM! Estou completamente viciada nisto que tenho para vos mostrar. Holos e carimbos! *-*

(Vamos começar pelas fotos mais feias...não sei o que se passou, com as definiçoes da máquina, nestas fotos, mas yuck! >.<)

Which one is your favourite? I have to say, mine is the pink and grey, it looked so cute! ^^

Now, if you all excuse me, I'm going to do the same thing with Perfect H6 and Misa Catch a Fling! 

Have a nice sunday!

Qual a vossa preferida? Tenho de dizer que a minha é a rosa e cinza, acho que ficou mesmo fofa!
Agora, se me derem a vossa licença, vou fazer o mesmo com o Perfect H6 e o Misa Catch a Fling! 

Tenham um óptimo domingo! 

Autism Awareness Day Manicure

I was supposed to make a special post about this subject, yesterday, but unfortunatelly, I had no time...Anyway, this is what I wore:

Era suposto eu ter feito um post especial, dedicado a este assunto, mas infelizmente, o tempo não mo permitiu...De qualquer maneira, aqui fica o que usei neste dia:

2 coats of Shana Nail Polish #200, 3 coats of Ellen Gold Prata on the middle and ring fingers, and then I stamped over that, the same design 3 times, with Essence Goofy-Blue, Kiss Nail Art White and finally with Shana #200. The stamping plate I used, was a DRK-B.

And yes, I changed the shape of my nails. I kept breaking the corners of my thumb while playing Guild Wars 2 and hated that it always looked different from the others, so I rounded them all...but I have to say, I am not a fan of this look on me. :S
Still, you'll be seeing quite a bit of my "regular" nails, as I have lots of old swatches and manis to post. I'm always behind...-.-'

2 camadas do verniz Shana nº 200, 3 camadas do Ellen Gold Prata no dedo médio e anelar, e finalmente carimbei sobre este, o mesmo desenho com 3 cores diferentes, o Essence Goofy-Blue, Kiss Nail Art branco e por fim, o Shana nº200. A placa usada foi a DRK-B.

E sim, mudei o formato das minhas unhas. Estava constantemente, a partir o cantinho da unha do polegar, enquanto jogava Guild Wars 2, e irritava-me ver aquela unha sempre diferente, então decidi arredondá-las todas. Tenho de dizer que não sou fã deste formato em mim. :S
Ainda assim, vão continuar a ver por aqui, as minhas unhas "normais", já que tenho vários swatches e manicures ainda por postar.

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! ^^

My Christmas Nails

Hey everyone!
Finally, I managed to come here and post what I wore on my nails during Christmas. I said I wanted something simple and easy to do, and even though this doesn't look very simple, I can guarantee it was really easy and quick!
I started with 2 coats of Nubar Vino and 2 coats of Marylins #19 on my accent nail. After it dried completely, I stamped in gold some poinsettia flowers on my index with the DRK-B plate, did a very fast gradient on my middle and thumb nails (tutorial here),  a christmas tree on my ring nail (tutorial here), and added some stripes to my pinky using striping tape to get my lines to look as perfect as possible. 

Olá minha gente!
Finalmente consegui vir cá para vos mostrar as minhas unhas deste natal. Já vos tinha dito que queria fazer algo simples e rápido, e apesar da manicure parecer algo complexa, posso assegurar-vos que foi muito fácil e rápido de se fazer!
Comecei com 2 camadas de Nubar Vino e 2 camadas do Marylins #19 no meu anelar. Depois de tudo bem sequinho, carimbei no indicador, a dourado, umas poinsétias da placa DRK-B, nos dedos médio e polegar fiz um gradiente rápido (tutorial aqui), no anelar desenhei uma árvore de natal (tutorial aqui), e no mindinho fiz umas risquinhas com ajuda de fitinhas de nail art, de forma a que as minhas linhas ficassem o mais perfeitas possivel.

I didn't get any nail polishes for christmas, all I got was the camera that I've been using since november, a new cell phone and some pyjamas. Can't really complain, those were all great gifts, but I would have loved if someone had remembered what I love to get the most... What about you guys? Did you get any nail polish under your christmas tree?

Não recebi nem um vernizinho este natal, só recebi a máquina fotográfica que tenho usado desde novembro, um telemóvel novo e um pijama. Não me posso queixar, foram óptimos presentes, mas gostava que alguém se tivesse lembrado do que mais gosto de receber... E vocês? Tiveram algum verniz debaixo da vossa árvore de natal? 

My best stamping yet! (and possibly photos too :P)

Hi everyone!

I got a new camera!! How exciting is that? :P Well, maybe not for everyone, but to me it definitely is! The one I was using belongs to my brother and he wants it back by Christmas, so my boyfriend told me he would get me a new one for Christmas. But, I guess xmas came earlier to me, because we found the camera I wanted for sale and a lot cheaper than everywhere else and he bought it for me!! Isn't he sweet? :3

I wasn't going to post this mani now, as I have a TON of late posts to do, but I really had to share these new photos with you guys, so sorry if you'll see different kind of photos after this post.

Now onto the manicure!

For this, I used 2 coats of Andreia #19 and then stamped it with Hits Cutie Pie and Konad m57.

I am loving the duochrome stamp over the black, it looks so cool and I keep waving my hands around to see all the pretty colours. *-*

What do you think of it? And how about the new photos? Improvement or not so much?
