NOTD: White flowers (stamping nail art)

Image
Today I finally tried to do some stamping. I´ve watched tutorials where it seems so easy, but actually it was quite complicated at first. The outcome isn´t the best, but for the first time ok.... I think.... What I used: - As base coat I used L´Oreal´s Resist & Shine nail strongerer - Maybelline miniColorama in Peach Coctail 88 - New White Color Nail Art Stamping Polish Nail Varnish Stamp from Born Pretty - Aden Cosmetics nail art polish - Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat - Stamper, scraper and nail art stamp template B89 from  Hello Kitty & Floral Stamping Nail Art Kit W/ 3 pcs Nail Stamp

Non-Beauty related post: Redesigning bedroom....

Image
I got sick and tired of our bedroom design and since we bought new bed yesterday which came today then we decided to relocate rest of the furniture in the bedroom also :P The good thing about this redesigning is that I had to empty my clothes closet for relocating and I discovered some tops that I had forgotten about :D :P Nice....

NOTD: "Yellow Surprise"

Image
Actually my boyfriend "R" came up with that name. I finished my mani and then asked him that what he thinks what would be creative name for that mani and he (not creative person) said "Yellow Surprise"   I used my new Barry M nail plish in Lemon Ice Cream which I ordered from ASOS. I like the colour though it bit pale. I had to use 3 coats of nail polish on my nails to get coverage and colour. Oh and by the way, my nails have grown so long. I can´t rememeber when they last were so long :) What I used: - As base coat I used L´Oreal´s Resist & Shine nail strongerer - Barry M nail polish in Lemon Ice Cream - New White Color Nail Art Stamping Polish Nail Varnish Stamp from Born Pretty -  Dotting tool from Born Pretty - Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

Now Foods Hyaluronic Acid Firming Serum

Image
I ordered this serum from iHerb.com in April. I then started using it and used it about 1,5 months.  Information from iHerb: Description   Smooth & Nourish Paraben Free Mature Skin Condition: For all skin types. Skin developing fine lines around eyes, forehead, and mouth, with a loss of elasticity. Solution: High potency Hyaluronic Acid Serum naturally fills in fine lines and smoothes the skins surface to protect delicate tissue.   Suggested Use Shake well before use. After cleansing and toning the skin, apply serum to areas where fine lines are visible, then apply a moisturizer.

My favourite nail polish remover ....

Image
My favourite nail polish remover is Super Quick by Depend. Information from Depend´s homepage: Nail polish remover Super quick For natural nails (not detachable nails). No acetone, oil, colour or perfume. • Contains no acetone. This means there is no risk that the nail will become porous or that the natural nail surface will be damaged. • Contains no oil that can leave residues on the nail surface. • Fast acting. So why I like it? 1. I like it beacuse it doesn´t contain acetone and so I haven´t noticed any damage to my nails.  2. Since there´s no acetone it doesn´t stink as bad as those nail polish removers with acetone. 3. It is QUICK! I just put the nail polish remover on cotton pad and swipe over my nail and nail polish comes off easily. No rubbing needed. 4. It takes off all kind of nail art easily. PS! I also like this Environmentally friendly nail polish remover by Depend. Minu senine lemmik küünelakieemaldaja on Dependi Super Quick. Informatsioon pakendilt: ...

Compeed Blister Patches

Image
About month ago I discovered Compeed Blister Patches. In my opinion these are just irreplaceable when your shoes or boots start to rub. So month ago I was wearing my new shoes when they started rubbing and I got blisters which eventually broke open. It was very very painful, but I had to get home and since my regular plasters didn´t stay on, I visited the closest drugstore and asked for better plasters. The apothecary recommended me to try these. They were expensive (these costed over 5€) but the pain was killing me and so I tried. They reduced the pain and stayed on very well and my feet healed much quicker than usually. So these are the patches that i will now always keep in my handbag just in case if my shoes start to rub. I recommend! Umbes kuu aega tagasi avastasin ma enda jaoks Compeed villdevastased plaastrid. Minu arvates on tegu täiesti asendamatute asjadega juhul kui kingad, saapad vms hõõruma ja ville tekitama hakkavad. Niisiis. Umbes kuu aega tagasi kandsin esmakordse...

Oriflame Pure Balance Dry Shampoo

Image
I have had this dry shampoo for over 6 months and I have used it maybe about 4-5 times now. I bought it beacuse of all these praising comments (mainly from Oriflame homepage which seems not the most trustworthy place when it comes to products comments by the clients). So about it now: They promise:   Aerosol-based dry shampoo with Vitadry complex for oily hair. Prolongs intervals between washes. Handy, effective spray reduces oil from scalp and hair quickly, leaving them cleansed and refreshed. With menthol, glycerin and vitamin E. Ingredients:  BUTANE, PROPANE, ALCOHOL DENAT., ORYZA SATIVA BRAN EXTRACT, ISOBUTANE, DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE, PROPYLENE CARBONATE, PARFUM, ISOPROPYL MYRISTATE, AQUA, DICOCOYLETHYL HYDROXYETHYLMONIUM METHOSULFATE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, GLYCERIN, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, MENTHOL, DISODIUM PHOSPHATE, PYRIDOXINE HCL, NIACINAMIDE, PHENOXYETHANOL, PANTHENOL, HYDROLYZED YEAST PROTEIN, ALLANTOIN, CITRIC ACID, THREONINE, POTASSIUM SORBATE My opinion:  I hate it! I g...

Barry M and NYR eyeliner from ASOS

Image
Last week "R" wanted some things from ASOS. He doesn´t have account there and whilst I was ordering what he had wanted I decided to order eyeliner and nail polish for myself. I haven´t purchased beauty products from ASOS before. So I decided to try Nail Paint by Barry M in Lemon ice cream and Neal´s Yard Remedies Eyeliner in Midnight. The colour Lemon ice cream is quite pale yellow. I used two coats of nail polish.   I imagined it to be softer and easier to apply, but actually it was quite hard and difficult to apply. I will try it more and I really hope that I will like it :)

Nail art stuff from Born Pretty

Image
Couple of weeks ago I read from some blog (can´t remember which one) about Born Pretty online store that sells different nail polishes, nail art tools, makeup, rhinestones, false eyelashes, etc etc.  So I decided to order: Hello Kitty & Floral Stamping Nail Art Kit W/ 3 pcs Nail Stamp Black Color Nail Art Stamping Polish Nail Varnish Stamp New White Color Nail Art Stamping Polish Nail Varnish Stamp 5x 2way DOTTING Pen Marbleizing Tool Nail Art Dot Paint Also Born Pretty offers free shipping but if you want tracking number for your package then I advise you to pay 3$ more. I got my package in a week. Amazing! So far I have used only black nail art stamping polish for making dots and dotting tools. I tried stamping too, but I have to practise it more :D Mõned nädalad tagasi lugesin ma ühest online poest, mis müüb odavalt erinevaid küünelakke, nail art ja  kunstküünte tegemiseks vajalikke vahendeid, meigi vahendeid, kunstripsmeid, ilukivikesi jne. Postikulu ei lisandu. Kui ...

Some new beauty stuff

Image
This week I was in Tartu and in Rakvere. In Tartu I did some shopping. Besides new jeans and two tops I bought some new nail polishes and facial cleansing products. First things that I bought were Maybelline miniColorama nail polishes. I got 88 Peach Coctail, 80 Electric Blue, 96 Party Blue and 95 Green Park. They were on sale and cost about 1.60€ each. I have already used Peach Coctail here and Party Blue and Electric Blue here . Sel nädala olin ma Tartus ja Rakveres ja Tartus tegin siis suurema shopingutuuri. Peale uute teksade ja paari topi ostsin ka mõned küünelakid ja näopuhastusvahendeid. Esimeseks ostuks olid Maybelline miniColorama küünelakid. Ma ostsin endale sellised toonid:  88 Peach Coctail, 80 Electric Blue, 96 Party Blue ja 95 Green Park. Nad oli Tartu Lõunakeskuse Maksimarketis sooduspakkumises ja nende hind oli ~1.60 euri tükk. Kolme lakki neljast olen juba kasutanud oma NOTD postitustes siin ja siin . F rom Tartu Kaubamaja I got two cracked effect nail polsihes b...

NOTD: Blue & White

Image
I got inspired by my new blue-white striped top which I bought from Terranova couple of days ago.  Also I bought then some new Maybelline´s nail polishes and so far my favourite is miniColorama Electric Blue. I just love that colour and since it goes well with blue stripes on my top I used it. So I tried water marbeling again and here´s the outcome. I used these: - Depend Protective Base Coat - Maybelline miniColorama: 96 Party Blue as my solid base colour. - Maybelline miniColorama: 80 Electric Blue - Maybelline miniColorama: 51 French White - Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

Today i was in the hurry and so i did something very simple ... again... - Depend Protective Base Coat - Maybelline miniColorama: 88 Peach Coctail - Maybelline miniColorama: 51 French White - Black Color Nail Art Stamping polish from Born Pretty - Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

NOTD: golden lines

Image
yesterday I tried to do water marbeling again, but since it didn´t come out as I wanted then I just painted very simple golden lines on my nails. Very simple design. Eile oli mul tegelikult ssuurepärane plaan teha jälle water marbel küüsi, aga kuna see üldse välja ei tahtnud tulla, sisi tegin lihtsalt kuldsed jooned küüntele. Et siis väga väga lihtne disain. What I used: - Depend Protective Base Coat - Aden Cosmetics nail polish - Aden Cosmetics nail art polish - Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

Oriflame Beauty Perfect Match Eye Shadow Duo

Image
Hi! So today I will continue my overview of my Oriflame make up stuff which I started HERE . Perfect Match Eyeshadow Duo in Sand Dunes was one of the first things I bought from Oriflame. I have used it time to time about 7 months now. Duo called Sand Dunes contains two neutral shades with moderate shimmer. What I don´t like about this duo is the applicator. I hate it! It is very uncomfortable to use. Also this eyeshadow duo is quite sheer. This duo is best for everyday use. In conclusion I wouldn´t buy these duos again, beacuse I don´t think that other shades are better. Eesti keelese ka siis: Jätkan siis SIIN alustatud minu meigikotis olevate Oriflame´i meigi toodete kommenteerimisega. See Perfect Match lauvärvi duo oli üks minu esimestest Oriflame´i meigitoodete ostudest. Olen seda nüüdseks aegajalt seitsme kuu jooksul kasutanud. Sand Dunes duo koosneb kahest üsna neutraalsest õrna sädelusega toonist. Mõlemad värvid on küllaltki nö läbipaistvad. Mis mulle üldse selle toote juur...

NOTD: Water Marble Nails

Image
Actually I made these nails yesterday, but my camera battery got empty and so I couldn´t takes pictures and so I post them today. Anyway yesterday I watched some videos from youtube about water marble nail art and so I got inspired. It seemed difficult and time-consuming but it wasn´t that bad. :D It was actually pretty easy, but yes - it takes time. I spent about 45minutes doing my nails :D, but I hope that if I practise then maybe I won´t spend that much time. Tegelikult tegin ma need küüned juba eile, aga kuna mu fotoka aku otsustas just "õigel ajal" tühjaks saada ja telefoniga ei saanud piisavalt häid pilte, siis jäigi see postitus tänaseks. Niisiis eile hommikul vaatasin ma youtube´st videosid water marble nail art´i kohta (kui keegi oskas mulle hea eesti keelse termini selle kohta öelda oleks tore) ja otsustasin asja ära proovida. Videodest tundus see üsna keeruline ja aega nõudev, aga õnneks ei olnudki asi nii hull, kuigi jah aega läks erakordselt palju - 45 minutit :D...

Oriflame Beauty Oxygen Boost Foundation

Image
Täna oli mul aega oma meigikotti läbi vaadata ja leidsin sealt mõne meigiasjad Oriflamelt, mille kohta ma polegi veel mingeid kommentaare kirjutanud. Enamus neid asju on mul olnud juba viis-kuus kuud nii, et võib vist kommenteerida küll :D Tegelikult peamine põhjus selleks on, et kui ma ise neid asju ostmas olin, siis ei suutnud ma netist leida eriti mingit infot ega kasutajate hinnanguid nende kohta (Oriflame´i kodulehel küll oli midagi aga minu jaoks mitte piisavalt). Today I was going thru my makeup bag and I found that I have some makeup stuff from Oriflame which I still haven´ t commented. I have had these things about six months now so I guess I can comment them now. The main reason for that is that when I was purchasing my stuff from Oriflame, there wasn´t enough information about these products (yes there was something on Oriflame´s homepage, but that wasn´t enough for me) Nii siis minu Oriflame´i meigiasjad / So here´s what I have:  Ma olen juba kirjutanud varem pildil...

NOTD: Newspaper Print Nails

Image
  As promised yesterday I tried to do newspaper print nails. There are many different tutorial videos on youtube about it and so I decided to try. For my surprise it was so easy!  I think for the first my nails came out quite alright.   Oma eilses postituses kirjutasin küünedisainidest mida kindlasti tahaksin katsedada lähiajal. Üks väljatoodutest oli ajalehetrükk, mille ma täna ära katsetasin. Minu üllatuseks oli see väga väga lihtne. Väga hea tulemuse saamiseks peab muidugi veel harjutama, aga muidu olen täitsa rahul. What i used? - As base coat I used L´Oreal´s Resist & Shine nail strongerer - Maybelline miniColorama: French White 51 - Vodka and newspaper - Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
