Next I used China Glaze White on White and of course Y001 stamping plate from BPS. I finished my manicure with a layer of I finished my nails with Nails Inc 45 second Top Coat with Kensington Caviar.

Rimmel 60 Seconds nail polish 621 Mary Mary Quite Contrary

Image
This week I have been wearing on my nails this pretty pastel lilac Rimmel 60 Seconds nail polish 621 Mary Mary Quite Contrary. It is truly beautiful shade and perfect for those who love pastel shades. On  my nails you can see two coats of Rimmel 60 Seconds nail polish 621 Mary Mary Quite Contrary applied over a layer of OPI Nail Envy base coat. The first thin layer of this polish really was almost dry in 60 seconds, but the second coat took longer to dry. On my nails it stayed quite well and it didn't stain my nails or cuticles.  

Sports Directi saladused

Ma ei vaata eriti tihti dokumentaalfilme, ent esmaspäeva õhtul sattusin vaatama dokumentaali Sports Direct'st ( The Secrets of Sports Direct) Channel 4 pealt <- jah sellest samast sportsdirect.com poodide ketist kust, ma arvan, et iga eestlane on endale midagi ostnud või tellinud ning mille Eestisse tulekut oodati kaua kaua selle soodsate hindade ja supersoodukate tõttu. Ütleme nii, et see dokumentaal oli meil ETVs igal kolmapäeval näidatava Pealtnägija sarnane (isegi saatejuht meenutas Kärmast :D ) ja andis hea, liigagi hea pildi sellest, mis tegelikult toimub SportsDirectis. Alustame siis faktidest mida te võibolla ei tea: Sports Directi sai alguses 1982 ja selle omanik Mike Ashley on biljonär Sports Direct'le kuuluvad sellised firmamärgid nagu Dunlop, Donnay, Slazenger, Everlast, Kangol, Karrimor ja Londsale. Sports Directi omanikule kuulub ka Newcastle United jalgpalliklubi   See eelpool mainitud info on ka guugeldades leitav, ent nüüd siis dokumenaalis välj...

Image
Last week I shared with you my opinion of Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Touch of Max Factor Foundation Moisturiser in Fair  which was a great disappointment for me.

OOTD: summer party outfit featuring lime green bodycon dress

Image
Perfect spring / summer party outfit - lime green Hybrid Chelsea bodycon dress combined with nude pumps and clutch. About 1.5 weeks ago arrived a parcel from Hybrid. This time they sent me this lime green Chelsea bodycon dress that is just perfect for spring and summer parties, cocktail parties and more formal events. Hybrid Chelsea bodycon dress has a pleated waist detail, capped sleeves and satin shoulder details. The quality of the dress is good as always and so no wonder that I like Hybrid dresses. Chelsea bodycon dress fits well and I love wearing it. I wasn't very sure about the pleated waist at first, but actually it looks amazing on and accentuates all the curves nicely. What I'm wearing lime green Hybrid Chelsea bodycon dress nude pumps from Marks & Spencer Fiorelli clutch necklace from Vaiva bangles set from Favordeal

NOTD: stamping with Y003 stamping plate from Born Pretty Store

Image
A couple of weeks ago I received a parcel from Born Pretty Store. This time they sent me some stamping plates and water decals. Today I'm going to show you Y003 stamping plate. This stamping plate has 6 full nail patterns and 3 tip ones for adding a little something extra to your french mani. Mõned nädalad tagasi sain pakikese Born Pretty Store'st. Seekord saatsid nad mulle mõned küünetempli kujundiplaadid ning ka ühed küünte kaunistamiseks mõeldud vesikleepsud (water decals). Täna näitan teile küünetempli kujundiplaati Y003, millel on 6 mustrit terve küüne kaunistamiseks ning 3 küüneotsa jaoks.  The stamping plate Y003 arrived covered with blue plastic film that you have to remove before using it :) Nagu alati saabus kujundiplaat kaetuna õhukese sinise kilekihiga, mis enne plaadi kasutamist sellelt eemaldada tuleb.  This is pretty stamping plate, but some reason there is one pattern that just doesn't transfer to my nails as it should :( The third one in the fi...

Rimmel 60 Seconds nail polish 415 Instyle Coral

Image
  For the swatch that you can see above, I used two coats of Rimmel 60 Seconds nail polish in 415 Instyle Coral applied over a coat of OPI Nail Envy base coat. I didn't use any top coat. Even though it says on the bottle 60 seconds then this nail polish won't dry completely that quickly. The first thin coat dried about 2 minutes or so and the second coat took longer than that. For some reason the result looked it bubbly on my nails :( This nail polish comes with a good brush and so applying it on my nails was easy. I also liked the formula of the polish - not too runny or too thick. Overall Rimmel 60 Seconds nail polish in shade 415 Instyle Coral is a perfect shade for summer.

Worried about the dry flaky skin around your eyes? Submit to tranquility, the article will be offering potent solutions for your problems.

Popular Brain Enhancement Drugs that Actually Work

Image
Brain pills that contain nootropic ingredients have burst on to the scene in the last few years, and are dedicated to providing dramatic memory enhancement benefits to individuals. According to an article on Be Brain Fit, college students are using ADHD drugs as ‘study drugs’, since these pills help increase their learning ability and focus. ADHD pills help students go without extended hours of sleep so that they can keep up with the demands of education. Moreover, even scientists are backing theories on adult ADD medication, since they are using it themselves! In an online survey done by Nature.com, it was found that 20% of scientists, out of 1400+ respondents, admitted to using brain enhancing drugs for non medical purposes because it helped them focus, concentrate and boost memory. Moreover, nearly 70% of the respondents said that they would not mind considering boosting their brain power by using such drugs, even if it had mild side effects.

Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Touch of Max Factor Foundation Moisturiser - Fair

Image
I love BB and CC creams and tinted moisturisers, because they usually offer some coverage, make my skin tone look more even and feel lightweight on my skin. In early January I decided to try Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Touch of Max Factor Foundation Moisturiser in Fair, because I was running out of my  Decleor Hydra Floral Multi-Protection BB Cream and I had read from somewhere (probably some beauty blog) that the Olay cream is good.

Alba Botanica Natural Even Advanced Eye Makeup Remover

Image
On Beauty by Miss L today: Alba Botanica eye makeup remover review. I ordered Alba Botanica Natural Even Advanced Eye Makeup Remover from iHerb.com a couple of months ago, because I wanted to try something new and I'm always excited to try natural products. This oil-free eye makeup remover is promised to gently dissolve even waterproof makeup and it doesn't contain parabens, artificial colors or phthalates. It is also cruelty-free. Täna on mul teile Alba Botanica silmameigieemaldaja arvustus.

How to Dress Fashionably on a Budget

Image
  Being fashionable is all about choosing the right combination of apparel and accessories, and carrying it off in style, with the right attitude. Does being fashionable always need to be expensive though? Not necessarily. Walking out in style does not mean you would have to spend on the priciest clothes only from renowned fashion houses and use a designer handbag as arm candy. Interestingly, knockoff products, inspired from highly exclusive fashion houses like Hermes Birkin, can be easily sourced online these days. According to Wikipedia, the Birkin Bag got its name from the famed singer and actress, Jane Birkin. They are only available in limited supply at Hermes boutiques, albeit at sky high prices. Fortunately, for us lesser mortals, there is a whole world of high quality Hermes Birkin replica purses & bags to choose from. Here’s a look at the smartest ways to dress fashionably on a budget.

OOTD: 304# OOOPS

Image
When it comes to posting outfit posts then you have probably noticed that I've become a bit lazy lately and haven't done really any OOTD posts. Anyway today I have one comfy look to show you which I wore yesterday featuring a T-shirt from 304 Clothing. Even though last week we mostly had lovely, sunny and rather warm weather then yesterday was kind of yucky for my taste: cold, windy and cloudy :S And so I was tempted to wear all black outfit, but at the last moment I decided to go with red pants to add some color to my look. Tõenäoliselt olete tähele pannud, et viimasel ajal pole ma eriti outfiti postitusi teinud. Põhjus selleks on lihtne - olen lihtsalt laisk olnud (või fotoka maha unustanud või lihtsalt unustanud pilte teha <-- don't ask why, I don't know). Täna aga näitan teile seda mugavat looki eilsest päevast, kui kandsin enda uut 304 Clothing t-särki. Kuigi eelmine nädal oli siin UK's üldiselt soe ja paaril päeval lausa suviselt soe, siis eilne ilm oli va...

EOTD

The weather  this week here in the UK has been wonderful so far. On Wednesday it  felt like summer - it was sunny and the temperatures were between 23-24C. The look I'm going to show you today is from Wednesday. For this look I used one of my all time favorite budget friendly eyeshadow palette - Wet N Wild Walking On Eggshells . Sel nädalal on ilm siin UK's olnud suurepärane. Kolmapäeval, kui Eesti uudistest sai lugeda öösel maha sadanud lumest, üllatas ilmataat meid siin lausa 23-24 soojakraadiga ja oli mõnus suvine ilm. Meigilook mida teile täna näitan ongi pärit kolmapäevast. Kasutasin seekord üle pika aja ühte oma lemmik lauvärvide paletti - taskukohast Wet N Wild'i lauvärvi triot Walking On Eggshells .

Nails Inc Gel Effect New Oxford Street

Image
1.5 weeks ago I showed you Nails Inc Gel Effect nail polish in Uptown , which was lovely winter pink polish. Today I have another Nails Inc Gel Effect nail polish to show you. Nails Inc Gel Effect New Oxford Street is also from Nails Inc Autumn 2014 collection. Poolteist nädalat tagasi näitasin teile Nails Inc Gel Effect tõmmuroosat lakki Uptown . Täna aga näitan teile järgmist Nails Inc Gel Effect lakki milleks on New Oxford Street. Tegu on tumeda lillaka tooniga Nails Inc 2014 aasta sügiskollektsioonist. On my nails you can see two coats of Nails Inc Gel Effect nail polish in New Oxford Street applied over a OPI Nail Envy base coat. I did not use any top coat. Even though I applied two layers of New Oxford Street on my nails, then you can get away with just one coat if it is thick enough. I had no problems applying it and the result looked pretty even in just one thin coat. The drying could be better, but oh well you probably can't have everything. Since I didn't use top...
