Hi everyone,

Last week was such a special week because I participated in the Beauty Days at Manor Geneva on Thursday and Saturday. This was a real honor and an amazing opportunity and everything was so amazing, it was like a dream! For those who don't know, Manor is one of the largest (if not the largest) department stores in Switzerland and it's a place I love to go to buy makeup, skincare or clothes. And oh yeah, their food section is also pretty incredible (I love their bread! :D )!

Do you have such polish that you want so much even if you are almost sure you already have similar colors in your stash? Well, that's the case for me and Lancôme Gris Angora. Last spring I had a huge love for gray nail polishes and I got a quite few in different shades of gray, not fifty, but almost (no I'm joking!). That's why I was sure I had something similar to Gris Angora and put all my strenghth into resisting buying it. I resisted for almost 1 year but a few weeks ago I surrendered I got it lol So here it is!

I also swatched other gray nail polishes on my nails and then thought they could do a pretty nice ombre manicure! I'll have to do more ombre because I really like this look!

 

 

Hello!!

I have a few Lancôme products I love to share with you today. As you certainly already know, this year  Lancôme launched a new line of polishes, called Vernis in Love, with enhenced formula and a new brush. I've already showed you Bleu de Flore in a previous post and told you how much I love this polish! Today, I'll show you 2 other Lancôme polishes!

 

 

Hello!!


I did this "plaid" manicure for a contest Essie Switzerland is organizing on their FB page.

 

For this mani, I used Essie Mint Candy Apple as the main color. For the accent nail, I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls for the background and Essie Good as Gold, Essie Mint Candy Apply, and Lancôme Bleu de Flore for the plaid pattern.

To create the pattern, I used the "sticker" method, which I explained in this post. Basically, I painted some squares with the different polishes I would use for the plaid pattern on a plastic folder/plastic ziplock bag, waited until they were dry, peeled them off, and then cut some stripes that I applied on my nail.

I always have some of these squares in different colors painted in advance so that I don't have to wait until they are dry.

 

And finally, I used this tutorial from the Beauty Department to create the plaid pattern.

 

 

 

 

 

And if you like my manicure, I would really appreciate if you could vote for me for this contest! :D  The winners of the contest will become "essie girls", which means they will represent the brand for one year. They will share swatches of essie regular range, of the new collections, and write some articles on essie facebook page!

Si vous amiez ma manicure, ça serait vraiment gentil de votre part si vous pouviez voter pour mon entrée au concours essie Switzerland. Les gagantes auront la chance de devenir des "essie girls" et de représenter la marque pendant un an. Cela signifique qu'elles auront la chance de swatcher des vernis essie de l'assortiment perimanent, les nouvelles collections et de rédiger des articles pour la page facebook d'essie suisse!

Hello!!

I shared some pictures of Shimmer polishes some days ago and told you it was part 1. So today, I'll show you the other polishes I got. If you missed my previous post, you can click here to see it.

Again, I used only 1 coat of glitter over a base color. If you want more opacity, you will need three coats to get full opactiy. Each polish is packed with tons of glitters!

Hello!

As promised here are my swatches of the gorgeous glitter polishes from the indie brand, Shimer Polish.

I wanted to show you the polishes under different angles so there are a lot of pictures! They are all super shimmery and packed with a lot of glitters! I used only 1 coat of glitter over a base color. If you want more opacity, you will need three coats to get full opactiy.

 

 

Hello!
