Introducing Snails

Hello my Lovelies!
Today we're gonna talk about Snails which means Safe Nails.
When you were little girls did you like painting your nails?
Well this product is a non toxic nail polish for young girls.
Use cotton and water to remove it, no nail polish remover is needed.

To be honest I don't like seeing girls with painted nails.

For the photo below I had to use three coats for better coverage.
It took a bit long to dry and the formula was  creamy.

This product was sent to me for review.

It smells nice and the brush is small for short/small nails.
Tip: If you want to use it for yourself just use top coat so it won't be removed with water.

What do you think of it?

Thanks for reading!

With THE HUNGER GAMES about to begin, Capitol citizens can show their support for their chosen district through China Glaze®’s exclusive Capitol Colours nail polish collection.  The collection combines rich crèmes, soft shimmers and bold glitters to create the limited edition 12 shade nail polish collection inspired by the most anticipated movie release of the year.

The China Glaze® Capitol Colours collection includes the following shades:

·         Dress Me Up – A stripped down dark rose pink crème

·         Foie Gras – Decadent dark crème taupe

·         Fast Track – Soft sandy brown with a gold metallic shimmer

The release of the collection follows the debut of the China Glaze® Capitol Colours consumer and beauty trade advertising campaign featuring the story’s Effie Trinket, who is assigned by the Capitol to escort and prepare the Tributes from District 12 for the 74^th Annual Hunger Games.  The ad features the tagline, “What will you be wearing to the opening ceremonies?,” encouraging fans of THE HUNGER GAMES to support their favorite tribute and district by wearing a corresponding shade.

China Glaze® Capitol Colours will be available in early March 2012

I liked the Stone Cold, Smoke and Ashes, Luxe & Lush.

Purple Love!

Hello Everyone!
For over a year I have been searching the right purple shade for me.
Finally I found the one I was looking for!
This is from H&M and it's called "Beauty Bandit".
You can see my first H&M swatch here.

The formula was nice, I used 2 coats.
Although the brush is fine I found it difficult to work with the rectangle cap.
The photos are taken before applying top coat.

With different lighting:

price 3.95 euro

For spring season looks nice, don't you think?

Do you have any purple polishes?

My first OPIs!

Hello Shiny People! Hope you are all having a nice time!
I recently purchased three OPI polishes, so far I had never tried them.
I wanted a grey polish because the one that I had finished. (You can see the previous grey  here).
So, I bought "French Quarter For Your Thoughts" from the "Touring America" collection. It's a really nice grey colour with a tone of green.

Moreover my top coat finished, I wanted to try Seche Vite (it's said to be the best top coat in the market) but I've heard that it's quite dangerous so I postponed buying it. Maybe some time in the future...

I found these on ebay, the top coat was sold together with "nail strengthener", so why not trying it, since it has good reviews.

Do you like the the grey polish I picked?
Have you ever tried the nail strengthener and this top coat?
I would love also to read your opinions about Seche Vite.

See you in the next post! I send you a big...
