Kiko won!

Sorry, I'm late again =.= But now that I'm here I want to introduce you to this beauty: mister 293 from Kiko!
Well, maybe for some of you this is an ordinary purple polish, but for me it's my first purple polish in my stash, and I just love it! The formula is amazing (like every Kiko polish) and it was super easy to apply. I used two coats, and then I did the accent finger using Party of five glitters as topper.
And if you're wondering why I bought a Kiko polish (original from Milan) in Germany...well, let's just say that I have to take the train if I want to find one from here, so you understand that it was a nice surprise to find one store in front of me, even if it was in Germany XD

Lucky, lucky me!

I know, I've been away for a whole week, but the reason was that I was spending four amazing days in Germany. Now I'm back (ç____ç) and I've got a LOT of polish to show you!
First of all, yesterday I received a package from the sweet Abby (Lovely in lacquer); I won her 100 Follower Giveaway a while ago and now the polishes are standing in my room. I must say, this was probably the most amazing giveaway I've ever seen, and I'm sooooo happy that I won :D You know how difficult it is for us italians to get O.P.I., Orly, etc. (and if you have the chance to find them, they're extremely expensive) so I just couldn't believe it when I found out that I would get some of the most pretty polishes out there all in once!
She was also so kind to add a little surprise...you'll all guess which one it is :P

Amazing, right? I couldn't be happier right now!
And then there are some polishes I bought in Germany...want to have a look? :)

 That's a lot of polish XD Tomorrow you'll see the first manicure with one of these, can you guess which one it is?
Have a nice day!

Quick update and swatch

Before I can go on showing you the other China Glaze + Orly polishes I wanted to introduce you to my new beauty: Pier 17 from NYC. I have not much to say, it's gorgeous and the formula is a dream. I think I underestimated this brand, because they do really beautiful polishes!

I have nothing more to say...university begun and I have little free time, so don't worry if I won't post as often as in the past. Now I just wanna go to bed, I'm soooo tired ç__ç

Trendsetter

Hello there! Here I am with my first China Glaze swatch! I can't believe that I finally own some of their beauties <3 I just love the colours! But I must be honest: I'm not that into their brushes :( They're a bit too large for me, I can't apply the nail polish with precision if the brush isn't small enough.
Anyway, the first polish I tried was Trendsetter, the famous fugly colour from this collection XD I still don't know if I really like this one or not, but one thing for sure: I hate the brush! I don't know why, but this one in particular was bigger than the others, and it made the application a nightmare ç__ç
But when I finally made it to complete my manicure, this was the result (attention, picture heavy!):

Well, it's probably not what you would call a pretty colour, but I guess I'll wear it more than once :)
And that's all for today...you'll see the other polishes in the next days!
Meanwhile, have a great week-end :)

Package arrived :)

Well, a couple of days ago my package finally arrived! Yuppiee!
It took 20 days, but I guess that's not so bad for an international order (and the best part is that the customs didn't stop it!)...I'm really happy about how well this worked, and I'll definetly buy more stuff from nailsupplies.us :)
So, here are some pictures of the package:

 And these are my first China Glaze + Orly polishes! I'm sooo happy with them and I love the colours <3 Soon I'll show you the first swatches, so...stay tuned!

Thumbs up for twins!

So, while I'm still waiting A) for my nail mail, B) for the new Essence collection to appear in stores, I got another polish from the Nail art twins, Gabriella. I wanted this one most of all because of the blue shimmer you can see in the bottle (blue and purple look great together!), but sadly it doesn't translate properly on the nail :( Anyway, I'm not that disappointed, because it's a gorgeous polish, with a gorgeous colour and a gorgeous formula (like all the other polishes from this collection)! I thought I could put a coat of his twin, Troy, on it, but then I decided that it looked amazing on its own, so I'm wearing it like this :)

It's sooo pretty, don't you think?

Oh, btw, have you noticed that the pictures are slightly different from usual? Do you like them more like this or do you prefer the other ones? Let me know!

Time for some grey

Still one week left before university starts again, and I'm enjoying every second of it!

I'm completely over my summer-mood, so the colours I'm choosing for my nails are all pretty dark and fallish :P

Today I show you the only polish I got from the 50's Girls Reloaded LE (Essence): You're a heartbreaker.

What to say about this polish? I love it! First of all the colour is sooo pretty, a dark grey with silver shimmer; and other things I loved about it were the formula and the brush, they made the application super easy!

I'm just sorry that this was (in my opinion) the only colour I bought, because the other ones were really nothing special. Anyway, I absolutely recommend buying this, it's really worth :)

(two coats + top coat)

Pretty Bella

This is another polish from Essence I'm crazy in love with, can you understand why? :)

It's Bella, from the nail art twins collection; sadly I didn't buy the glitter top coat, but I think this looks amazing even on its own <3 Talking about Essence, I can't wait to see the new polishes from the colour&go series in stores! I already know I want some of them so badly...I've fallen in love seeing them in other blogs :)

That's all for now, hope you're having a great week-end!

Glitters? Never enough

I'm again in a glitter/layering phase, so you must be patient if I show you another manicure like this :P

I got two new polishes from the Multi Dimension collection (just for 0,99€, yeahy!) before they take them away, and for this mani I used Purple Cherry, a gorgeous dark plum polish with an amazing formula, and I topped it with Troy, which is a glitter bomb full of small blue/purple/gold glitters <3 I love this one, I think it's one of my absolute favourite glitter polishes I own!

And this is the result! I'm pretty satisfied and I can't stop staring at my nails XD And no, I didn't apply a top coat, because I like the finish of Troy.

The perfect couple

My exam is finally over (and it went great!) and so now I still have two weeks to relax before University starts again.
And painting my nails is something that keeps me relaxed :P
I want my package to arrive ç__ç I need new colours, and in particular new fall polishes. For now I have to pick colours from my stash...this one is Chuck and it's from Essence. I know I've already showed this one to you, but, as I told you, I don't like my old swatches, so I'm taking new and better pictures.
I really really love this colour (in general I'm a fan of blue tones :P), and I think that every polish lover should own one bottle of it!
After one day I decided it was time for some glitter, and I just added one coat of Blair, which is Chuck's twin, and the perfect couple (and I'm not just talking about polish! Yes, I watch Gossip Girl). Love it!

Short update

I needed to do something with my mani, and red glitter seemed the best solution!
So I applied one coat of a local brand red glitter polish and this is how it looks like right now, I love it :)
So now, under direct sunlight you can see the red shimmer of the polish plus the red glitter, amazing!
That's enough for today, I have to study ç__ç
Have a nice weekend!

aaand, in direct sunlight....!

Hidden treasures

We all love hidden shimmer/glitter, but sometimes they are just too hidden. This is one of those times. 

This is such a pretty polish (from the [b] basic collection): dark red with light red shimmer in it, that sadly only shows up under sunlight. I wish this shimmer was visible also in the shadow, because it makes this polish a real beauy. 

Again I'm surprised how pretty some of cheap polishes can be (and this one is very cheap, it costs only 0,99€!), and I love the new colours from the basic collection, in fact I've already bought another bottle of polish...:P

This polish definetly needs more pictures than usual, so, here they are, hope you like them!

(This was two coats + top coat)
