Hi! This time I have another bling mani for you.  For this design I used N.Nail 2.5mm Neon Glitter C37 from KKCenterHk. This glitter is perfect for this kind of design. I really like how it reflects different colors in different light. Using these glitters was very easy. I first applied 2 coats of LÓreal Color Riche nail polish in Santorini Lagoon. Then added a coat of clear polish and then added the glitter one by one. I finished my nails with one coat of INM OTD topcoat. For smooth result you might need 2 coats of top coat. And more photos of my nails :) *This micro glitter was sent to me for the review. All opinions here are my own.

The view from my balcony this morning (October 27th).... This kind of view makes me want to have Christmas already :P

Hi beauties! This month has been good :) Firstly one of my blog posts ( How to Clean Up Your Nails After Messy Nail Art ) was included to The Ultimate Nail Resource Guide.

PS! Giveaway coming soon!

While natural health and beauty techniques have become widely used around the world, it’s sometimes easy to forget that they have their roots in long hold practices. Although not as sophisticated as the various therapeutic treatments that are now available, ancient alternative remedies contain many of the same ideas. Like current natural health and beauty techniques, ancient approaches rely on the same use of herbs and flowers, as well as extracts, and inform much of what we understand as the contemporary avoidance of artificial chemicals. Looking at some origins of natural and health beauty techniques, we can identify forerunners to modern treatments. Key Practices Early Egyptian and Chinese cultures made use of different extracts and naturally sourced materials in their health and beauty regimens. Notable examples included the Egyptian use of animal fats and natural dyes to design makeup, which gave rise to the common image of Egyptians with heavily lined eyes and wigs. The same a...

I haven´t done any haul posts for over a month and actually I haven´t bought or ordered much  beauty or fashion related items  either.  From iHerb.com I ordered this: Country Life Omega Surge Orjene Organics CoQ10 OliveVitale Foaming Facial Wash with Alpha Lipoic Acid Beauty Without Cruelty Extra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover Reviva Labs Seaweed Soap EcoTools Sustainable Body Buff     Models Own had a sale in September and I just HAD TO order some new nail polishes: Also in September (yeah I know it is October already) I bought Maybelline BB cream in Light and two Maybelline Colorama nail polishes. I have used the Maybelline BB cream and I hope I have time to do a review and also comparison with Garnier BB cream soon. And a hair color. I haven´t dyed my hair at home for .... I think about two years now or even bit more. Anyway since I don´t have time to go hairdresser (long story) then I decided to do it again myself. I chose this new hair dye by Palette. I hope the resu...

This post is in Estonian only beacuse it is about an Estonian site where people can share their opinions about beauty salons.   Leidsin täna netis surfates sellise lehekülje nagu http://www.ilutrend.ee, kus saab anda hinnanguid ilusalongidele ja lugeda teiste arvamusi. Ilutrend lehel saab hinnata 5-palli süsteemis salongi teenuste kvaliteeti, kliendisõbralikkust, aegadest kinni pidamist, ruumide puhtust ja hinnataset ning kirjutada omapoolse kommentaari salongile.  Kuna otsin praegu isegi uut ja head juuksurit (senine lemmik asub lihtsalt 200km kaugusel :( ) , siis selline lehekülg kulub ära. Kahjuks tegu üsna uue lehega ja seega seal hinnanguid väga vähestele salongidele. Soovitan kindlasti seda lehte külastada ja oma kogemusi erinevate salongidega jagada!

I have never done half moon nails and so that was something new to me. Anyway this is my version of half moon nails and for this mani I used N.Nail Microbeads Decorations Nails Art Gold - DRN378 from KKCenterHk.  These golden microbeads come in little glass jar and there is also little plastic jar included. Microbeads from KKCenterHk look really great and you can use them for different nail designs. It is very easy to use them. Just apply clear nail polish and then place the beads as desired. Finish the design with top coat. NB! I discovered that INM OTD top coat melts the golden color from the beads and so I advise using some other topcoat when working with these.   Products used: - China Glaze Strong Adhesion Basecoat - L´Oreal Color Riche nail polish in 404 Scarlet Vamp - Microbeads from KKCenterHK - Poshe top coat on my ring finger - INM OutTheDoor top coat Check also out what these lovely bloggers did for today: -Kimber at Kimber's Lacquer Korner -Kat at Ho...

Some of you have probably noticed that I haven´t been posting very much lately.  My reason for being MIA is that on the 13th of September my baby boy was born and so I have been very busy lately with taking care of him.  Little Mr.R Don´t worry I will be back soon and I have very very many posts to write and publish. I actually have all the photos for the posts but I just haven´t had time to write the posts :P
