Just guess what I've been frankening...

...hmm, a warm grey with creamy undertones.
Sounds familiar? Let's have a look.

 I think you already get the idea, yep? If you're not, let's go further.

Does that remind you something? :)

Yes! It's a Waking Up in Vegas franken! Go eat a candy if you guessed it right.
I've never seen the shade before I saw it on... well, I think you know who I'm talking about :)
And somehow it GOT me SO HARD, I couldn't resist but try how could it look on me. (DL don't ship outside USA and is pretty expensive, such a pity)
This is Orly Mirror Mirror + Avon Vanilla Shake mix. I'm not sure if I got the shade right, but it's how it looks to me. The swatches all round the nailnet differ from eachother like hell.
Actually, I've been searching for a look-a-like shade, really wanted Essie Body Language to be the lighter version to it, but it's just so pink. AND this franken looks a tad mauve, WTF. Maybe because MM is kinda bluebased or that sort of thing? I don't know. Still it looks real cooool (not in terms of tone) to me.

With my grandma's ring. I love it so much. Any huge rings fans out here?

Now onto the formula. It needed three coats too look pretty opaque, but at some angles it still doesn't look so. But I don't care. Really. I don't. Because just look how FAT at the tips it is! How would it look with a fourth coat? No, seriously, imagine. Gross.

Sorry for the dehydrated cuticles, remover killed them. Now they're all restored and pretty again!
Ah yes, don't buy orly's little bottles. They suck. I have less than 1/2 of the bottle and totally can't get any normal amount of polish out. Sec'n'dry topcoat in my case. And it smells ew-alicious. Any recommendations on safe and not stinking quick dry topcoats?

Thanks for reading and happy polishing!

Learn Body Language!
Hello girls!
Recently I've got my first Essies and I'm happy I did! Today I'm here to show you the one that I thought would look different, but still I love it. It's Body Language by Essie! ...Mattified :) Just because I couldn't resist to try out the matte goodness~

It's a light rose asphalt grey colour. I'm crazy about it and I actually didn't want to take it off. Still had to! Does it happen to you too when people around get you down about some colour? :)

Well, I'm incredibly happy to have this one. I think it goes quite well with my skintone.
The application is like heaven. Finally I discovered the Essie formula myself, it's VERY liquid so it's really easy to use! It levels out itself even on the first coat. There are two (three? I don't remember, oh man.) coats pictured.

Can you see the ring? I've made it myself out of 4 threads. It looks crappy though, my first experience! :)

Here you can see the colour glossy and matte. Can't choose my favourite, love both!

Body Language nails against my tamagochi to show you the pinkness of it! I love my tama, by the way. It's more than 10 years old :)

And a song to share with you! Body Language by Róisín Murphy

Old nail art attempts!

Hello ladies!
I'm here today to keep you entertained with some oldies.
Sometimes I DO nail art, trying to achieve something okay-looking (atleast)
Here is one of the attempts which I'm really fond of!

As you can see it's a vinyl record being played :)

I used Orly Mirror Mirror, an amazing grey for the base, Avon Warm Black as the vinyl, (I guess) Sally Hansen Cherry Red for the label and some cheapo nail art lacquer in silver glitter... 

I had this one a few months ago.

Ah, this is my beloved one. I'm sorry for the crappiness of this, the tipwear and lack of cleanup...whoops! 

This mani is the Alice game inspired... plus interpreted. as you can see, I've swapped the colours :) and I love it! Even if it's soooo $#1tty. I'll probably do this one again!

 

 As you can see, my nails were oval back then. Even a bit stilletto-ish :)

I used SH Cherry Red, Avon Warm Black, Avon White.

That's all, folks!

See you next time!
