Golden Butterflies

Hello my lovelies! I haven't been a good blogger this week and the main reason is the fact that tomorrow is my birthday and I had a party last night, so I spent most of my free time getting everything ready for that. I'm happy to report that the party was a success and I had lots of fun. It's time to get into nails again and show you a manicure that has been sitting in my vault for a really long time. I'm not sure how come I didn't post this earlier. But at least it's here and that's what's important. So here we go!

Monday Blues: Kiko 465

Hello my lovelies! Another weekend is over and this time it was a very relaxing one for me. I'm full of energy and ready to start the week. Winter is almost here, which makes me happy because I like winter a lot better than autumn. But first I have the last Monday Blue of November to show you. I haven't shown a matte polish on the blog in a long time and I decided to show you one I purchased this summer. They are perfect for autumn in my opinion. Here's what I'm talking about.

Farmec Autumn-Winter 2014 Nail Polish Collection - Swatches and Review

Hello my lovelies! It's Saturday and it's the perfect time to relax. I'm finally having a weekend that I can fully enjoy. My only job for today is to write this post and tell you everything about a collection of nail polishes brought out by a local brand. It's not the first time I talk about Farmec on my blog. It's a brand of cosmetics that comes from my very own city, Cluj, and has a tradition of over 120 years. I tried some of their polishes but always complained that the colors weren't very diverse. They finally started bringing out some fun shades starting in the summer of last year. So now they bring out small collections of 7 fun shades in the summer and autumn of every year. I received this year's autumn-winter collection at the last Beauty Bloggers Meeting Cluj and decided to swatch them all for you. This will be a massive post so grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy. I thought about breaking it into two posts but thought that having all the shades together would be better. So here we go!

Beauty Bloggers Meeting Cluj 3rd Edition

Hello my lovelies! Today's post is very different from what you are used to from this blog. I'm gonna tell you about an event that I took part in a couple of weeks ago. I am talking about the 3rd annual Beauty Bloggers Meeting Cluj. It's an event that takes place every November in our city and gathers all the makeup, nail and fashion bloggers so we can get to know each other, discuss our blogging experience and have lots of fun. I wasn't able to attend last year but I was lucky enough to be free this time so I kindly accepted the invitation.

Monday Blues: Nails Inc Connaught Square

Hello my lovelies! I think this is the latest I've ever posted a Monday Blues post in my entire "career" of two years and a half. Work has been kicking my ass lately but better late than never, as I always say. To compensate for my being late, I have some glitter to brighten our mood today. I don't know about you but I really need it. This glitter was given to me by my amazing friend Kinga. She decided that it was sitting uselessly in her collection and it needed a new home. I kindly offered mine so here it is on my nails.

Watercolor Palettes

Hello my lovelies! It's been a crazy crazy week as usual and on top of everything my laptop is playing tricks on me again. I've scheduled this post because despite it being Saturday I'm at work. My weekend isn't gonna be a great one but I hope yours will be a lot better. I sure hope it won't be too cold and gloomy. Today's manicure is one that I created ages ago and didn't have time to post. I was inspired by an image on a stamping plate from the creative people of MoYou London. I added a little something extra to it and here's the result.

Monday Blues: Silver Chevrons

Hello my lovelies! The weekend is over but the sun is shining and the weather is lovely, so how about we blow the Monday Blues away with some nails. The manicure I'm showing you today is a very simple one but it's what I love to wear in my everyday life. As usual I was inspired by my lovely friend Kinga who borrowed this stamping plate from me and used this image. It's great when other people take a look at your plates because they notice stuff that you haven't used and show you how much of your collection you ignored before. She used this image and showed me how amazing it is. So naturally I had to create a manicure with it.

Yes Love G17-2

Hello my lovelies! It's the weekend and boy am I happy that this week is over. It hasn't been a good one for me and I haven't been in the mood for nails and blogging. But I feel better now, I did my nails last night and I'm headed to the annual local beauty bloggers meeting. I'm so excited! It's gonna be great and I'm gonna tell you all about it in a future blog post. But first I want to quickly show you a polish that I've played with several weeks ago and didn't get to post about. It was a gift from my good friend Kinga. I already showed you a textured polish from this brand and now it's time for some glow in the dark glitter!

Monday Blues: Sinful Colors Blue By You

Hello my lovelies! Halloween is gone and we're officially in November. I'm not a big fan of this month but I'm gonna try to make the best of it. I can't wait for December to be here because it starts with my birthday and continues with other holidays I love. But meanwhile I will try to lighten up my and your mood with a beautiful blue. You might have noticed that I borrow a lot of polishes from my friend Kinga lately. I haven't purchased many polishes in the last months and her collection is very appealing to me. The polish I'm showing you today is pretty new in her collection and I think she hasn't even tried it yet. I couldn't resist it so here's how it looks.
