The autumn is here!
Hello lovely ladies! Can you feel the autumn tonight? :)
In the continuation of the rainbow theme, there's another mani I found pretty interesting.
Straight to the pics!
Skychaser! :)
This was a semi-rainbow angled tips on matte black. This is day three, I guess.
Matte black is Orly Matte Vinyl, my pretty one-coater, if I'm not shaky.
Tips: Thumb - China Glaze Paper Chasing (will be posting this one later on alone!), Index - Orly It's Up To Blue, Middle - Sally Hansen - Blue It, Ring - Sally Hansen Cyber, Pinkie - Maybelline Colorama in magenta shimmer (unnamed). These all are 3-4 coats I believe. Paper Chasing is pretty known for its ridiculous sheerness.
I didn't take pics right after the mani was done and fresh, my bad, but I wanted to rejuvenate the actual look. You know mattes get satin pretty fast.
So here are the pics with one coat of Essie Matte About You + Orly Top2Bottom for tips compared to the "worn" look.
See the difference? It's pretty obvious. But I don't really mind the three-days-old look too.
The look on them really cheered me up when I was sad.
There was a City Day on 4.09. The photo kind of reminded me of it. Happy Birthday Moscow!
Have a great day!

Seize the rainbow!
Hello girls!
The summer is over. While painting my nails "1st Sept." special, I've decided to make a quick post. Ocassionally, it's the 13th post, which was kind of meant to be not like the most others. :)
This one was made by request. It's bright and cheering, but I did take it off because it doesn't actually look that fun on long nails IMO. But certainly the mani like that IS FUN!!!
Here you go!

Avon - Venus
Hello everyone!
This polish I'm up to show you is four years old, still in amazing condition! Let's jump straight to the pics.
It's a latte beige colour. The finish on this one is frosty I guess, still it looks just like foil. Amazing, right?
The colour is pretty deep. I love the microshimmer creating the finish. This is two coats I believe. Any streakiness easily smoothens up with a topcoat.
And of coooourse I needed to mattify it. I dig the glossy version much more, I must confess.
Just saw China Glaze Latte, I assume these are dupes! Gotta try ChG out if I ever get a chance.
I really want to have one more bottle to be sure it'll be in stock forever! It's just that beautiful to me.
Thanks for looking!

If you hear what your body says...
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 :)
