The following applies only to the Austrian glossybox, I do not have any information about other countries. After dithering over whether to post this or not for quite a while I decided that I should d...
It’s probably not healthy to love Ranma 1/2 as much as I do, especially since it’s so very exasperating most of the time. Nobody in that manga has any common sense, half the main characters are truly...
I find it easy to find diversions; I read a lot, I cook every day, and I enjoy fibre arts. Sadly, the last one doesn’t mesh well with nail polish. ^_^ Anyway the following image should clear up what ...
Late, but there you go. One of essence’s ‘old’ trend editions. Technically it was out in December (in Germany, we get ‘em later at Austrian DM stores), but my local DM had an almost full display a bi...
Huh, it’s the new year already. How did that happen? I don’t even know why I have been reluctant to post recently, I’m not that sick, nor feeling that down. *shrugs* I’m feeling lazy still, so here’s...
I was in such a hurry on Christmas Eve and of course I ended up running out of time and having to apply my polish as quickly as possible. So I decided to do an opaque French with a layer of a pink ho...
Well, that title probably isn’t all that clear to non-Austrians (and folks from nearby regions). Basically, it’s a quasi-demonic figure that accompanies Saint Nicholas and punishes as he rewards. Hmm...
I’ve been wearing today’s mani for a while now and am rather surprised at how well it’s holding on. This is another holiday-themed one: December 14th was Monkey Day, the 15th Tea Day. Here’s what I u...
After some pondering I decided to go ahead and write this in English. After all, at least some of the products are available to y’all. And before I go into the details I feel I need to give you a hea...
Most of the limited editions that I checked out at the drugstores recently were pretty much a yawn (I did get three set of Catrice’s Vegas lashes, though). So coming across the LOOK by BIPA Special E...
A while ago I showed you this horrible mess, and now I’ve actually managed to use two of the hexagonal glitters in a way I adore. Here’s what I used for this mani: China Glaze Nail Strengthener &...
Warning! This post contains my face with very little make-up (and barely-there brows, since I was too lazy to emphasise them properly *sadface*), If you’re afraid of double-chins and moles on noses, ...
I really haven’t liked a lot of what I’ve been doing recently. And though I sometimes consider just posting the swatches without the failed nail art, that’s not how I roll, really. So here you go: a ...
Happy Evolution Day (I just made it)! And to celebrate this day stole my design from was inspired by Questionable Content (actually, this design is an extension of an in-comic shirt, check out the me...
Blue Sparrow, how I don’t know how to feel about you… I was sort of disappointed when I applied Blue Sparrow. I remember seeing a gorgeous swatch somewhere, but for me it just looked pretty with odd ...
Oh dear, sometimes stuff just doesn’t work the way I imagined it. And today’s experiment sucked badly. I didn’t even bother to clean up the edges, ‘cause I knew I’d remove it right away. o.O There yo...
*taps screen* Anyone out there? Good. I’m trying to ease back into blogging, I got out of the habit of typing as my coats of polish dry and it’s really hard to get back into it. As I mentioned before...
Despite the content of my last tweet, I have not sunk into a drunken stupor. I’m feeling the urge to apologise for my absence, but I don’t really want to since it’s not like I’m obligated to post on ...
Lots of holidays these days. I may have snickered when I found out about Mole Day, especially when I found the NMDF website (it looks a bit unintentionally ironic, no?). Since I don’t think I can pul...
I had a completely different post planned, but a glance at my calendar made me change direction completely. Why? Because today, October 21st, is Apple Day. This is what I used tonight: China Glaze Na...
So the project continues, this time I have three blues as base colours and as expected, the darkest looks amazing and on the lightest the flakies barely show up. So much so that my camera refused to ...
I promised to do skittle swatches of my flakies (not that I have many) and this is how it will work: Until I’m happy with the combinations I’ve covered I will post as frequently as I can, applying th...
Here we go, another post featuring the polishes from an essence trend edition. As so often in recent TEs, there are five colours in urban messages. All of them are very shimmery - or rather microglit...
I’ve been into multicoloured manis a lot recently (could you tell?). But I still like to have the base colour show through. Curvy line to the rescue! Here’s what I used today: China Glaze Nail Streng...
I should probably declare October to be Flakies Month, but that would inevitable make me not want to swatch all the flakies. Anyway, don’t be surprised if you see loads of flakies in the near future....
Is there anybody who doesn’t like flakies? Statistically there should be, but that’s something I just can’t grok. Over the past couple of polish orders I picked up five bottles of Golden Rose flakies...
Is this a fail? I don’t know, really. I really liked my rainbow dots mani, so I thought I’d try some other rainbow-esque nailses. This stripy thing is not among my favourites. This is what I used tod...
I spent a while plotting and pondering about what kind of nail art to do tonight, but the whole thing was pointless. I’m utterly in love with this colour and it’s beyond excellent all by itself. Colo...
Nail mail day! I think I’ll stick to buying only limited editions until I’m through with my untrieds (thankfully I only keep a repurposed tissue box for that purpose, so it won’t take too long). Here...
Alright, so the full name is essence show your feet nail fashion sticker for toes, but I’m not putting that in the title. DON’T PANIC!* There are no toes visible in this post. I do not intend to ever...
