Essence BE OPTIMISTIC! and review: Studio nails Gel style nail stickers

This review I promised you a while ago and here it is! First I started with two coats of Colour&go nail polish BE OPTIMISTIC! Gorgeous bronzy- orange color with shine finish. 

 And than I decided to try this leopard print Studio nails stickers over it. I applied as instructed. First I chose the right size for all nails and then I placed them first near my cuticle and carefully placed them over my nail.

 If they were too long, I philed them off, to get sharp and crisp edge. So far so good!

 I admit, they look fantastic!!!! but here it all ends....

 After two hours wearing them (not doing much, becasuse it was sunday), this started to happen.... First only on one finger, enge was starting to came off.... I placed it back a couple of times...

 Than I even went over with clear top coat, to placed them back...

 ... but nothing I did, helped...

 They went completly off. And as instructions said, they are very easy to remove, they just pealled off! On their own! OMG, I was so frustrated, because I took me about half of hour to get them on, for two hour resolt!!!

Ladies, defenitely DON'T recommend buying or wearing them, because it's just too much work for couple of hours resolt :-( A BIG NO NO!!!!

Essence: review- MARBLE MANIA limited edition

As you know, Essence came out with this beuatifull limited edition. This products cought my eyes and I just had to try them out. I took all three mono eyeshadows, becuase they all look amazing and I couldn't decided which one to take, so all of them came with me :-)
Here you can see swatches of all of them- SWIRL IT BABY is purple and black marbled shadow, very beuatifull. It also has some sparkles in it, that just pop when applied. LET'S GET TWISTED is mostly black with some hints of yellow color. When mixed together is mostly black shadow, but when applied with brush, you can be more precised and apply more yellow than black. SERIOUSLY MIXED UP is mix between yellow, pink and brown, so you get more earthly toned eyeshadow, but I also recommend using it with brush, because you can get more color payoff.

And I took one lipgloss, also gorgeous, berry color. Also recommend!

Misslyn LEGUAN nail polish

Hi all! Today I have this beauty to show to you. I bought this one in Muller in Graz (I never seen this brand nail polishes in Slovenia). I was just browsing trough nail polish and this one immediatelly cought my eye. I wonder why :-) It's a mix between my two all time favorite nail polish colors- blue and green!

Well, it has duochrome finish, super easy to apply, but for my taste it's just  a bit to sheer. Here you can see three coats.Now I'll let pictures to do the talking :-)

Gorgeous right?!?!

Essence: Review- Studio nails Nail fashion stickers

Hi all! Welcome back! Today I have this stickers to show to you. They are from Studion nails line from Essence, better known by Better than gel nails (I also have a review here). First of all, my nails are way to long to be wearing this stickers, so no visual image today, sorry.
I have two different styles, but they came out with four different designs.
First are called "cult object from capetown"- leopard design: new transparent stickers give your nails an instant, ultra-glossy finish. for polished and unpolished nails. I will try this ones as soon as I shorten my nails and I'll try them on polishes nails.

Second I have are called "berlin's most wanted"- graphic design. Also interesting design that I'll try too.

Another two are visible on Essence home page and they are "sold out in ny" and "saw it first in rio". Which are your favorite?

Essence: Review- NEW Color 3 nail polish

  I'm sure you have all heared or read about this new style nail polishes from Essence. Today I have two different ones for you. First, my favorite of all of them, is this duo- MIDNIGHT DATE as a base color- dark blue color with light blue shine in it and second CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS. I love this one. Is ment for layering, because on it's own is quite sheer, but over Midnight date, OMG!, gorgeous!!!

 Here is second duo I have- base color is TICKET TO THE SHOW- black base with purple, gold and green shimmer inside, second is FRONT ROW OR BACKSTAGE? Again, ment for layering, because it's almost sheer base with tons of gold micro glitters.

 Her you can see, first TICKET TO THE SHOW, on right is FRONT ROW OR BACKSTAGE? and in the middle is how they look together, obviously second over the first one.

 Again, the same thing, on the left MIDNIGHT DATE, on the right CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS and in the middle, one over another.

Here is manicure using first COLOR 3 duo- the blue one and I used both polishes, layering each other. 

They are very easy to use. I like the brushes, the bottle is not unconfortable to hold. 

I waited between to layers, for the first one to completly dry and than I used the second one. And the result is amazing! What do you think?

Essence: Review- NEW nail art magnetic polishes

 As I promised this post, I'm presenting today three new magnetic polishes from Essence. First of all, if you have tried old ones and you weren't totally setisfied with them, let me tell you that new ones work amazing!!! They are way better then old formula, results are really amazing!

 They came out with three different colors- blue, orange red and gold green. I don't have favorite one, bacause they are all truly beautifull. With darker color- blue, you get more visible color contrast, but also stripes in green and red are visible a lot!

 First one I tried LOVE POTION! Orangy red almost copper color with bright stripes. Gorgeous! I used Alessandro magnet, because I was going for diagonal striped design. I also have Essence magnet, but unfortunately I haven't tried it out yet, so I can't give you my opinion. Up is on direct sunligt, down is on natural daylight.

 As you know, with magnetic nail polish you have to do one nail at a time, otherwise, nail polish will dry and magnet would not do proper design, because all the magnetic parts in polish will be dry. So, this manicure takes a bit more time, but it's totally worth it, because of the amazing result! I definitely recommend new magnetic polishes!!!

Review: Essence Studio nails FIXING SYSTEM

Welcome back!

Today I have, as promised, review about studio nails FIXING SYSTEM for you!

First, you must remove all products from your nails. I took 100% acetone to remove nail polish and all natural oils from my nails. Here are my bare nails. I also filled surface of my nails and pushed back my cuticles.

Than I applied STEP 1- nail-strengthening undercoat with visible nylon fibres to leave a strengthening, nylon net on your nails. Nylon fibres are very visible, but don't worry, nails poish will cover them copletly. This step protects nails while they grow and it's for healthy nail growth.

After step 1 is completely dry, than I applied STEP 2- protective sealing polish over the nylon fibre polish from step 1 to give my nails a natural finish. The polish can also be used on its own, without the strengthening polish in step 1.

And here is final result, after both steps. Some nylon fibers are still visible trough, but don't worry, nails polish has covered them. My nails are harder after using this system (they are hard naturaly, but I have a filing they are a bit more harder). I will be using this two steps insted of my base coat for a month and i'll let you know if I'll have any breaks or splits.... Hope not!

I give this system 5 out of 5 and I definitely recommend it!
