Today's nail art is inspired by the fabulous Lime Crime purple lipstick with the silver unicorn imprint.
I actually came across this idea on Instagram, originally made by @vixen_nails, and once I saw this I knew I had to recreate this design.
I actually borrowed this gorgeous lipstick from a fellow polish friend, who I must thank once again for her help, and also a huge thanks to vixen_nails for the inspiration for this nail art.

I wanted to recreate the design and make it as close to the original product as I could. I was happy to discover that one of my recent purchase, China Glaze That's Shore Bright was a great fit for this nail art, and that my Nailz Craze NC02 stamping plate was just perfect with it's unicorn and stars designs.
I was surprised to discover that in real life, the polish I used was the exact same color as the lipstick, what a perfect match!
To create this simple yet gorgeous design I applied two coats of China Glaze That's Shore Bright and stamped over it with Essie No Place Like Chrome (I preferred to use a solid silver rather than a holographic color, which I felt wouldn't give me the perfect coverage). Then sealed the design with one coat of Poshe.

I was really happy with the final look of this design, it was super easy to execute and it resembled so much to the inspiration, so for me this was a success!
Would love to hear what you think about my Lime Crime inspired design ;)

Today I have a fun and exciting post for you with some swatches of the new Birthday Girl collection by GlitterBunny! 
This collection is the newest addition to other beautiful polishes (you can see my previous post with swatches I did for three more GlitterBunny shades) made by Nicole from GlitterBunnt Polish, and I'm very happy to share my swatches for this collection with you.

Birthday Girl collection includes three fascinating glitter combos, each is very unique and interesting. All three polishes contain a generous amount of various glitter mixes in a clear base, allows  you to create endless combinations and looks.
I have to say, I was very impressed with these fabulous glitter bombs, I loved everything about them and I had no complaints whatsoever! Would I say these are perfect? Absolutely YES!
The colors, the shapes, the formula - everything was just great. To my eyes, this is a great collection, you can clearly see there was a lot of thought put into it, and event though this is a very small collection, these are all great and I had a hard time picking just one favorite shade.

Krazy Straws is a mix of neon matte glitter in pink, green and blue. This is a fun and bright combination of colors and shapes. I decided to pair it with a pink neon base, but I think any other neon or neutral color (white or black) will look great with this one on top.
Application was easy, and I didn't need to "fish" much for the glitter, which usually happens with large shapes. The surface wasn't completely smooth because of the large glitter shapes, but with the application of a top coat it was much better. I believe that a second coat would smooth it completely.
I applied one coat of Krazy Straws over two coats of China Glaze - Shocking Pink, and topped it with one coat of Poshe.

Rainbow Sprinkles is a sweet mix of various colors in hex shapes. These are also matte glitters in a clear base, they spread nicely over the nail with no effort at all.
I feel that these simple colors combined, create a festive and a cheerful look, and the name of this polish describes it really well. Simple yet great!
I decided to layer it over a light base, so I chose Lime Crime - Milky Ways for this job, applying two coats of it and one coat of Rainbow Sprinkles on top, sealed with one coat of Poshe. This combination reminds me of a fun and delicious birthday cake!

Saving the best for last, this is I Got a Goodie Bag!, a beautiful confetti mix of matte square glitter with a pinch of tiny holographic dust [oh, and also shiny (and beautiful) square glitter in purple and green].
This one was Ah-mazing! Even though I really loved all the polishes so far, this one stole my heart! It just screams "Parteeey"!
I couldn't take my eyes of it, and so did everyone who saw this on me (couldn't keep their hands from my nails as well lol, I guess people I don't even know, don't have any problem grabbing my hand and go like "Ah that's pretty! What's that?!").
You'll be surprised, but all that beauty is just one (!) coat, so as you can see you get a great coverage and a nice spread. Did a little fishing here to get all the beautiful colors together on each nail for you, but the result is great even if you don't to this.
It was a bit bumpy with just one top coat, so I would advice applying two if you like it smooth.
I decided to layer it over black so all the colors will pop out, so here I used one coat of Wet n Wild Black Creme and one coat of I Got a Goodie Bag!

I made this cute pastel ice cream design for this weekend and I completely fell in love with it. It was quite easy to make and the result is so pretty and fun, so I'm very happy to share it with you ladies.

I started with two coats of my favorite nude color Essence Iced Latte, then stamped the net design to create the waffle look. I used Cheeky CH11 plate and L'oreal Mauvelous as my stamping polish.
I used a dotting tool to create the dripping ice cream waves, and chosetwo lovely pastel colors; Essie Mint Candy Apple and GA-DE Marhsmallow.
Creating the dripping shape was easier than expected, but I do wish I had a larger dotting tool to make it even easier. Since mine had a really small/fine edge, I had to repeat the dabbing motion a few times to create the desired shape, and then I applies a stroke of the same color on the free edge.
I wanted to add some sparkle to the tips and make it more interesting, so I applied on the dripping tips a bit of fabulous OPI Which is Witch to finish this look and create the "sprinkles" look.
To seal the design I used Poshe fast drying top coat.

The result was delicious! I had so much fun wearing this design and I think it's really easy to execute and get great results even if you don't consider yourself as a pro nail artist. It doesn't require a high skill level and the result is very impressive, so if you haven't tried something like this yet, I really recommend this design to you.
Hope you enjoyed this post and that it inspired you. Thanks for reading!

In today's post I'm going to share with you my manicure from the past week, featuring the fabulous Nfu Oh 51 which was my top lemming for a long time. I remember thinking this was such a fabulous polish from the beginning of my polish obsession, and I just knew I have to have it!
I bought it quite a long time ago, it was also a bit pricy, I think my most expensive polish in the collection (I paid about $20+ for it including shipping, I got it from the Israeli distributor site).
I don't know why it took me so long to make a manicure with it and post in on the blog (well, again, I have so many new polishes I always want to try but I don't have enough hands for that). Of course I swatches it right away with different base colors, trying to find the perfect combo (as this polish is a bit sheer on it's own) but I never did a proper mani until this week.
So here it is, the fabulous Nfu Oh 51 from the opal collection, layered over Barry M Plum. I applied only one coat of each to get this look. It was really hard to catch the beauty of it on camera.

Nfu Oh 51 is so gorgeous, it's a purple jelly with fabulous flakes that shift from red to orange, green and blue. It's really beautiful in person, even more that in photos.
Layering it over a purple made it look more warm and red toned, it was very pretty, and I intend on trying it again and layering over a dark blue base, hoping it will bring other beautiful colors in it.
I've seen so many swatches of this polish layered over different colors, and always looking fabulous, so I think you can't go wrong with this beauty.

Even though this looked fabulous on it's own, I decided to add some royal themed decals to this design. I applied a few nail stickers I received from Born Pretty Store for a review; I used the gold crown and the tiny curved studs from this sticker sheet. 

Unlike the water decals I've been using lately, these are actually stickers, they have a bit of dimension (not completely flat) and some glue applied to the back. I just pulled these from the sticker sheet with a small pin (you can use a delicate twizer as well) and applied to the nail. Application was easy, and you if you misplaced it you can correct it by pulling it up gently and place again.

At first I was afraid to apply a top coat, I thought it might ruin the design, so the first the photos below are without a top coat, and you can see a bit of the sticker border on the nails. Then I decided to apply the top coat anyway, and I was surprised that it looked much better and made the borders of the sticker quite invisible. It also helped to smooth the surface, so I was happy to know a top coat works really great with these decals (I used my regular Poshe top coat).

You can get these decals at the Born Pretty Shop at this link, it's a very large sheet with various decals designs. You can also use this code to get 10% discount on your entire purchase at the store: PNL91

The final look was really gorgeous, but again, getting it right on camera was really hard, so that's why the photos are looking so different. Then I also had a problem with taking a photo that will show the stickers well in sunlight because they reflected the sun, but when I took the photos in the shade it didn't show the actual color, so that was a bit of a hassle. The good thing is that I got to enjoy them in real life with no problems at all :)

Hello ladies!
I wanted to share with you my experience with another order from Korea, this time through the blog-shop thecutestmakeup.com
I came across this blog-shop a a while ago, mainly when I was looking for swatches or closer looks at bottles of Korean and Asian polish brands like Innisfree, Etude House, Modi etc.
I would then come to check this blog quite often to see what's new in the Korean cosmetics and nail polish world, and it took me a while to realize that this was actually a shop where I can order awesome stuff and have them shipped to me, just like a regular online shop.
I was happy to find out that there's a lovely girl behind this blog-shop, she lives in Korea and has access to these great brands which are hard to find (well, you can find some them on ebay but the selection isn't that large and the prices aren't as low!) and she provides this service to anyone and everywhere! What an awesome idea, it even made me think of doing a similar thing here in Israel and offer my help with getting Israeli brands for the international ladies, but then I realized I don't really have enough time at the moment for such a project.

These are the items I ordered, I will list the names below, and if you want to learn more about how to place your order with this site, please keep reading this post.

Top row (L-R): Etude House - Royal Coral (DBR409), Lie Lilac (DPP502),Tint Mint (DGR701) / A'pieu Aurora - BE01, SV01 / Etude House Bling Bling Eye Stick.

Bottom row (L-R): Innisfree - 85, 96 / Modi - 57, 48 / Samples

You must be asking yourself "how can I order Korean brands from this blog-shop too?", well, it's really simple!
You contact her via the contact form, list the items you want to buy, and you will get an estimated cost for your items and shipping fee, based on the shipping chart. Then you pay in advance for the items (via paypal), and the lovely lady behind this blog-shop is going to look for your desired items around the shops in Korea. It will take a while to get the items, and some might be out of stock due to high demand, but don't worry - in that case you will receive this part of your money back.
In my case, when some of the items I requested were out of stock, she kindly offered me to pick something else, and I did, so she got other times instead and even refunded some of the money for items that were out of stock. Even the shipping fee was cheaper than estimated, and I was refunded for that as well.
As for shipping, the package arrived surprisingly fast, it took about a week or so (from shipping date), and it was shipped by regular mail. There is an option for express mail (EMS) or regular without tracking if you want to keep the shipping cost low (that's what I picked). Everything was packed carefully with bubble wrap and placed into an envelope.
I ordered 10 items, 9 were polish bottles and 1 eye shadow pencil. They all arrived in great condition, completely new and sealed. She was also very generous and included a large bag of different samples, which was really great and generous of her.

Overall I was very impressed with here service, she was extremely nice and patient, answered all my questions and even directed me to some swatches when I asked her about certain polishes I couldn't find swatches to. She replied to my emails really quickly, and indeed didn't take long to collect the items (well the only delay was me, since I kept adding new things to my buy list, but she was very quick with getting them), and the shipping was surprisingly cheap and fast.
I don't think I could ask for anything better! This will certainly be my new go-to place when I want to shop for Korean cosmetics and nail polish from now on. I truly recommend you to use the great service she offers, I had a great experience and I'm very happy with my purchase.
Thank you for reading and let me know if you have any questions regarding this blog-shop, I would be happy to answer.

It's been a while since my last post, just was a bit busy these past few days, but I wanted to share with you this mani I did a week ago.
I wanted to try my new Brazilian nail polish by Impala for a while now, and I decided to go for a simple design with an accent finger.
I applied one coat of Wet n Wild Black Creme on all fingers except for the ring finger, and then added one coat of Impala Na Mira 3D, which contains dark silver holo glitter in black jelly base. It was quite sheer on it's own so I decided to layer it over the black base.

The formula is really good and the glitter coverage was great, but I was a bit disappointing that it was so sheer. I was hoping not to use a base coat for it but when I realized it would be a bit too sheer for me even after 3 coats.

The holo glitter was sooo sparkly and beautiful in the sun, it was a delight to look at it. In shade it was less impressive, it looked plain silver without the holo effect, but still pretty.

For the accent finger I applied one coat of Barry M Pomegranate which has really great coverage. I used striping tape to create the triangle shape, painted this part with black and once dried, I aligned the striping take around the existing triangle and painted over the black part with the holo polish. Once all dried I applied one coat of Poshe to seal the design.

I love how simple and pretty this came out, and you can never go wrong with a holographic polish, right? :)

The colors I'm going to review in this post are (L-R): True Blue, Lost in Love and Midnight at Tiffany's.
All three polishes had really great formula which was easy to apply, interesting glitter and color combination, really great polishes that I enjoyed to wear!

Lost in Love is a mix of red, pink and white glitter with hearts, hex and square glitter. This one was defiantly my favorite among the three! I normaly avoid large glitter but this one was sooo pretty, I couldn't resist it. The hearts are so cute and create such a romantic look. I think this one will be awesome to wear for Valentine's day or to celebrate an anniversary with your loved one.
For the look in the photos below I used two coats of Wet n Wild Frence White Creme, then applied one coat of Ga-De Frozen Yogurt (a lovely shimmery / glass flecked white) and one coat of Lost in Love, topped it all with one coat of Poshe.

Midnight at Tiffany's is a mix of teal and black hex and square glitter in clear base. I really loved this combo, it was super easy to apply since the glitter spread evenly and effortlessly.
I decided to pair it with a dusty minty base - China Glaze Kinetic Candy (two coats). Also applied only one coat of Midnight at Tiffany's and topped it with Poshe.

True Blue is a beautiful mix of blue, teal and white glitter in hex and squares shapes. It also has some tiny holo sparkly glitter that adds a pretty depth to it. The bottle was generously packed with glitter so it was very easy to cover the whole nail with just a few light strokes.
I applied Seche Casually Cool (2 coats) as the base for this glitter, then one coat of True Blue and topped it with Poshe.

Here's a macro shot of the gorgeous glitter, so you can see how beautiful these polishes are up close.
