Pupa lasting color gel 20

  Pupa gel color 20: swatch and review

Hello everyone!! :D
It's a very beautiful color and belongs to the gel nail polish collection. 
The consistency is thick and the drying time is quick. It has a nice flat rounded brush. However the application cold be a little bit tricky... If you apply thin coats you will have some problems with spreading evenly the nail polish. So my suggestion is to apply thicker coats and don't pass with the brush over the same spot a lot of times.
You could reach a very good pigmentation with only one coat. The finish is very shiny so you can leave as it is without applying the top coat. The price is about 5 €.



Overall: 5/5

On the pictures you will see two coats without top coat. The photos were taken in the shadow and also in the sun light.

Fluffy flower

Hello everyone! Another Christmas nail art!
I wanted to do some velvet nails. This is the first time that I used this kind of powder so I was very curious to try it.

Candy cane

Hello!!! Today I will share with you some Christmas nails. :D
I saw that there was a candy cane inspired mani for this Matching Manicure Sunday week so here I am with some pics of my nail art. :D

Essence 115 Redvolution swatch + nail art

Hi everyone! I think it's an appropriate time to show some red nail polish. :D
This one is from Essence and it's not really like I expected... it's too sheer for my tastes. I have applied three coats and the nail line was still visible. I don't know if you will see it on the picture. Well I guess I needed one more coat but I didn't have any more patience for that. The brush was good but the formula was a little bit too liquid so you have to be very careful to not color the cuticles too. It lasted slightly less than my usual manicures.

Overall: 3.5/5

Essence 113 - Do you speak love?

Swatch and review - Do you speak love?

Hello! :D
Lately I really don't have so much free time... the work is keeping me very busy. But I don't want to abandon the blog so I will do my best to keep posting.

Today I have decided to show you a swatch. It's a nice shade of red. The brush is very good and the shape is perfect, flat and round. I also liked the formula and the consistency of the nail polish.


Overall: 5/5

~Gothic Halloween~

Hello!! Here I am with a gothic nail art for Halloween. At first I wanted to do something different.. with orange fluo glowing nail polish but when I saw a tutorial of Tartofraises I fell in love with this nail art so I decided to reproduce it. The only thing I have changed is the background color of the nail with the cross. I prefered red background rather then white one. I really like the style of Tartofraises. She has plenty of cute nail tutorial. If you don't know her I invite you to check her channel even if it is in french. She has also an english channel

Blossom

I haven't uploaded many photos lately... but here I am.. back again. This is a nail art I made days ago (well it's supposed to be a spring nail art... however..) but only now I have time to uploaded it. Hope you like it. :)

Roses and dots

Golden sand

For the flower decoration I have used a sand effect nail polish. That gives a kind of 3D effect to my nail art.

Sweet Rose Valentine

Hello everyone, here is my first attempt to draw a rose bud withe acrylic paint. I searched for some tutorial online but I haven't find anything that looked like this so I tried to draw it myself and see how it looks like. I just made a dot and then added a few white lines and in the end I drew some leaves. To complete the design I made some dots also on the red nails and it's done. I hope you like it too. :)
