Weekend Haul

I splurged myself with some Christmas Shopping this weekend...

Here's what I came home with... :)

Here's PASTEL's new year glitter collection. They are; from left to right, 315, 316 and 317. If you ask me, 315 and 317 look really similar to previous year's glitter but when I made a quick bottle comparison, I saw that these babies are denser... :)

Here are the stars of my weekend... I had bought LOL from a little store for the regular CG price. I checked the store again and this time found these two babies... OT and BFF from OMG collection. OMG, indeed... :)

This one is from Bourjois 1 Seconde coll. It is called Gris Nightomic. I like having different shades from this collection because when I'm in a hurry, I just put them on, one coat is enough for coverage and the drying time is only 50 seconds... :)

I can never give up Sally Hansen polishes. I love the treatments and the colors... I just wish we had more color choices, like in the states... Anyway, Xtreme Wears just hit the Turkish stores and I've heard that some stamp really well, so I got black, white, red, yellow with backups... :) But this one on the left, Flirt, is just gorgeous. I'm thinking of wearing it alone... :) And the one on the right is Plum Luck. :)

I've found some Rimmel metallics hoping that they stamp well.

From left to right; 275 Rock Star, 408 Rock and Red, 608 Rock Republic, 780 Hard Rock and 815 Rock Royalty...

And I found Rimmel Metal Rush Collection... Yay...

From LtoR; 60 Royal Blue, 70 Gold Save The Queen, 80 Purple Reign, 90 Bronze Princess...

Here's a thing... I love nail polish brands coming up with original and funny names. But here in Turkey, our polishes are top quality, but unfortunately, polish producers lack the creativity and just give numbers to polishes... How boring... :(

And last but not least, here are Rimmel Precious Stones Collection; Diamond Dust and Ruby Crush... They look so shiny in the bottles, I wonder how they'll look on my nails...

So, here's the end of a haul post. Hope you enjoyed it... :) Take care...

'TIS THE SEASON FOR RED - Day 5

Merry Christmas to all...

I have China Glaze Visions of Grandeur on my nails today.

I have bought pots of glitter from a craft store recently and never had a chance to use them. So today I gave them a try...

I made a christmas tree using the green and yellow glitter. The hardest part was to place them on my nails one by one. It took so longggg!!!!

Nailz Craze NC02

I finally got my paws on NailzCraze's super cool nail plates... I've been eyeing them since like forever and I envied the ladies that made the coolest nail art with her plates in my Facebook groups...

I finally decided to order via her Etsy shop. I picked the plate with the unicorns and stars and clouds... This plate is called "magical" for the right reasons.... :)

Anyway, it took about 11 days for the plate to come from Israel to Turkey, via registered mail... The plate comes with the blue protection film but no backing. 

 I made some quick swatches on a paper to see how it stamped... To be honest, I wasn't expecting this quality... Look at the stamped images, all crystal clear, detailed, perfectly etched... The one on the top right is user error, because my paper slipped a little while stamping....

Anyway, there is only one image I couldn't get transfered and that's the image I wanted the most!!! The clouds (middle row, on the right)...  It is a little tricky one, since it has a large flat area (like BM301)... I've tried different stamping polishes, angles, scrapers but I couldn't succeed. I finally contacted NailzCraze and she immediately answered that I had to scrape lightly, use a credit card etc...

I tired a few more times but still nothing... :( I give up for today. I'll try another time... :(

UPDATE : I just measured the plate. It is bigger than Cheeky Summer Collection plates in size.
Full nail images are 2cmx1,6cm exactly.

Today is my 4th day on the reds challenge... :)
