The Lacquer Legion - Adoration

How fast did this month pass! Maybe mostly because I was busy with my dauhter's birthday party preparations...

Anyway, it is that day of month again. The Lacquer Legion...

For February, the theme is Adoration. You can interpret it however you like. This is actually what I like about this group, the sky is the limit, you don't have any harsh rules so the themes are easy to achieve...

Anyway, here is my Adoration mani...

As you can see, I adore skittlettes, textures polish, tape manis and the harmony of turquoise and gold!!!

Here's what I used for this mani..

My turquoise color is Avon Impulsive Sky. It is from their new spring line. The formula is really nice, almost a one coater. But I had tiny streaks on the first coat, so I did a second coat anyway.  The little finger is IsaDora Gold Crush. Ring finger base is IsaDora Gold Sparkles. I did a tape design over that with Avon. Middle is MoYou Artist plate, 04 stapmed with IsaDora. And finally we have a gold stud from Born Pretty Store...

And here's an experiment I'm doing. On my left hand I have round nails and on my right hand I have squoval nails. I'm thinking to keep them like this for some time. The reason is, I'm trying to figure out which nail shape will suit my lifestlye... I mean, which one will be strong, unbreakable, unpeelable, etc.. :) Because in theory, I think round nails are a little stronger...
We'll see... :)

Have a nice day, and don'rt forget to check other peoples entires for #LLadoration...

Nfu-Oh 65

Prepare to be blinded by the pictures!!!

Today I present you my first, one and only Nfu-Oh polish, sent by my lovely friend Titti...

Nfu-Oh 65!!!

Would you look at this bottle? Isn't it the prettiest bottle you've ever seen? Or sexiest?

I decided to keep the bottle if I ever finish the polish... :D

Here's the technical info... :D

First of all, it did not need a special aqua base or something. I wore it over my regular base coat. No draggings or bald spots.

And I used two coats for the swatches... And no top coat...

Here are the blinding pictures!!!

And ladies and gentlemen (if there are any), this is what I call a holo!!!!

La Bella Vernice - When The Stars Go Blue

Today I'll show you a gorgeous polish!!!

I totally fell in love with this one and I'm not a multi chrome fan... (yes, you may hang me if you like, but that's the truth. I prefer holos and textures... LOL)

Anyway, here is When The Stars Go Blue from La Bella Vernice...

La Bella Vernice describes this color as a multichrome with deep blue, purple, yellow and green... I couldn't agree more but there's something that I'd like to add...

It feels like you have millions of stars on your nails. And that's mainly because of the holographic glitter...

Like I said, altough I'm not a huge fan of multichromes, I ordered myself a big bottle of this...

Btw, the formula is really easy to apply. 2 easy coats... Dries rather qucikly... And the sparkles... Ohhh.... <3


You can buy La Bella Vernice from their website for $10 for full size bottles and $4.5 for mini bottles.

La Bella Vernice - Rachel

Hi everybody...

Today I'm wearing one of the polishes my dear friend Roni has sent me... She is the owner of indie brand La Bella Vernice and makes a-mazing polishes....

Here is Rachel!!!

It is a hot pink color with scattered holographic effect. It is highly pigmented. I used two coats for swatching purposes but one was enough. Which means you can try to stamp with it as well... (I haven't but will try soon)

It dries to a semi textured finish. You can wear a top coat to smooth it or just leave it like that, if you like a little texture. And by texture, I don't mean anything like regular texture polishes, just a little gritty because of the glitter...

This is a 5ml mini bottle by the way. You can buy standard sizes (15ml) as well.

 And here's how I wore it...

I made some black dots using my dotting tool and added a girly bow stamp on the ring finger... And added a coat of Poshe.

I really like the combination of pink and black... :) So girly...

GFC Widget not working??? Solution here!!!

Hi guys...

I follow a lot of blogs daily. Most of them are nail art blogs and some of them are crafting and sewing blogs... Here's a thing I noticed lately on most of them...

This picture is taken from my friend Rainbowify Me's blog. As you can see, her followers cannot be seen. It says that there is an error with widget settings...

Here's how to fix it...

First of all, this is mainly because Blogger decided to give each blog a country name... Like .com.tr or .com.dk etc...
I am not a tech but as far as I understand, our GFC widgets use our old blog address so we need to fix this.

To do this, first go to your Blogger Dashboard.

Click Settings/Basic
There you'll see your blog address on the Publishing tab. Click Edit.

Type something there. For example, I added 11 to my blog address. Click Save. Don't worry, you won't lose your blog :)

Wait for a few seconds and then click Edit again. his time erase the "11" that you just wrote. And click Save again.

There you go... You should have your followers back... Totally worked for me!!!

Enjoy!!!!

Valentine's Day Mani / Dance Legend - Spectrum

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I don't know if you are celebrating Valentine's Day on your part of the world, but here in Turkey we do. And everyone seems to be crazy about it... Especially store owners... LOL

I like Valentine's Day. I like the decorations and the red hearts I see everywhere. What bothers me is, lately this has been like a contest to show your love... I mean, if you really love someone, you have to buy her a diamond. Or a car for him... The bigger your diamond, the bigger your love... This, I don't approve...

Anyway, jumping on to my Valentine Mani...

My lovely friend Camilla has given me my first Dance Legend on Christmas. So I decided to give it a go...

It did not need any special bases. I wore two coats over Rejuvacote and the application was a breeze... <3

This is one of the strongest holos I have in my collection!!! It is so pretty!!!

I stamped the straight lines from Gals GA21 with Zoya Jacy, which surprisingly stamps nicely...

Lately, my nails are their longest state, so as can be seen in the photos, Gals plates were a little short for them... Yay... :)

Onver the stripes, I stamped the roses from Konad m65 with Wet'n'wild black polish. I did not use a topcoat, because I was afraid it would dull the holo...

Anyway, this is my Valentine's Mani...

Oh, if you're wondering, we are not doing anything special tonight, because unfortunately my beloved daughter is sick and has fever... So tonight will be all about digital thermometers and fever watch... :)

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!!! Enjoy it for me, as well....

My Valentine's Day themed package from Roni arrived the other day... She is the owner of the indie brand La Bella Vernice and she has sent me a gorgeous package along with some of her samples... <3

Before jumping to the polish, I want to show you what was inside my package....

Do I need any introduction for this? One of the best cuticle creams in the world... Well, for me anyway... I just can't get along with cuticle oil, but I love cremes....

What a lovely small cup!!! It has a nice smell too, but I need a brush to use it, my fingers don't fit in the jar... LOL

Orly - Angel Eyes

Hi!

Today I have another Orly for you. This time Angel Eyes...

Angel Eyes was from the Naughty or Nice Collection. It is a clear based polish with blue glitter and holographic hexagonal glitter. You may use it alone (2-3 coats) or layer it. I chose to layer it over a blue....

Flormar 439 from 2012 Spring Summer Collection...

I used one coat of Angel Eyes over it to get this look...

Pretty, huh?

And I used Barry M silver foil to stamp the fairies from Winstonia W208... :)

I should study double stamping... :D
