Mi ricorda un campo d’erba, d’estate, con tutti i fiorellini bianchi…Pace e tranquillità
It remembers me a grass field in summer with all those little white and cute flowers all around … Rest and tranquility

Questo è la manicure per la settimana appena passata. Come si può ben notare, non è una Ruffian Manicure perfetta, ma può andare dai :P

Ultimamente ho spesso le unghie laccate di rosso, strano per me! Chissa come mai! :)
I’m wearing red nail polishes lately and it’s unusual for me! I don’t know why… :P

 

Have a nice day!

Polishes from Africa

   

Mia zia è appena tornata da un viaggio di tre settimane in Africa.
My aunt just came back from a three weeks trip to Africa.

Pensavo mi portasse a casa delle collane, degli anelli e altre cosette del genere ma mi sbagliavo! Mi ha comprato… degli smalti!! Che sorpresa!! Mi ha detto di averli presi in un piccolo negozio, tutto pieno zeppo di mercanzie, proprio al limitare del deserto sahariano.
I tought she wolud bring me some necklace, rings and other stuff like that but I was wrong! She bought me… some polishes!! I was very surprised! She told me that she’s bought them in a little messy shop near Sahara desert.

 

Here they are:

CR IMG_9364 copia

  Durlin, Nail Lexus IMG_9365 copia

 

 

Mmm non c’è l’INCI… Che faccio? Qualcuna di voi, mie care lettrici, conosce una di queste marche?
Mmm there are no Inci… What should I do? Do anyone of you, my lovely readers, know one of these brands?

Ho fatto una piccola ricerca online: di CR e Nail lexus non c’è traccia, mentre Durlin ha un sito ma nemmeno lì ho trovato l’Inci.
I made an online research: CR and Nail Lexus seem not exist while Durlin has a site but no INCI in there.

 

Il verdetto: non penso proprio di usarli! 
THE VERDICT: I'm not going to use them!

 

Have a nice day!

NOTW – Lace Romance + Tutorial

 

Et voilà :)

 IMG_9358 copiaridim 

 
Come anticipato nel post precedente, ho aggiunto un motivo a merletto!  Ho utilizzato Sally Hansen 52 Wholesome Earth (quello di Sammy ) e il dotting tool.
As told in the previous post, I added a lace pattern! I used Sally Hansen 52 Wholesome Earth (By Sammy ) and a dotting tool.

Essendo il mio primo tentativo con il pizzo, ho optato per un design semplice.
Since it is my first attempt in lace designs, I decided to make an easy one.

 

Ecco un piccolo tutorial per voi :)
Here is a little tutorial for you :)

Swatch - BYS Liliac Bliss

 

Questo smalto è uno di quelli mandati da Sammy  (se ve lo siete perso, leggete  questo post ) :)
Mi sono praticamente innamorata di questo colore: è molto carino e “dolce”, penso che si abbini abbastanza bene alla mia pelle.

This nail polish comes from Sammy  (if you missed, read this post). :)
Just felt in love with this shade: it’s very cute and sweet, I think it looks good with my skintone.

Una passata, niente top coat (sì ragazze, UNA!!)
One coat, no top coat (yes girls, ONE!!)

Luce diurna (sigh, stava piovendo)
Daylight (sigh, it was raining)

Ombra
Shade

 

La stesura è semplice, la tenuta buona ( oggi è il quinto giorno e si è tolto solo un po’ sull’indice sinistro)
The application is easy, the held is good (today is the fifth day:only one little chip in my left index finger).


Sono felice che questo smalto sia capitato tra le mie mani!! Presto aggiungerò un motivo tipo ricamo/merletto per dargli un tocco più tenero e romantico :) <3
I’m very happy about this nail polish! I’m going to make a lace pattern to add “cutness” :) <3

Have a sweet day <3

Don’t worry: I saved the nail polish pouring it into another empty bottle :)

Hello Mr Bugs Bunny

 

 

Hi sweeties :)

Today I’ve something that cartoon lovers would like :)

I felt inspired so I decided to try something “diffucult”… I surfed the net but nothing caught my eyes… then I looked at my desk and… Tadaaan!

 IMG_9297 copiaridim     IMG_9299 copiaridim

 

I used a thin chopped 00 brush and acrylic craft paint by Maimeri.

 

Here is my brush

 IMG_9306 copiaridim


(maybe it’d be better if I made a gradient with yellow… maybe next time!!)

 

 

 

Have a nice day :)
