And another one I like the colour of, but hate the application *sigh* This is three very thick coats, could use a fourth. Damn...

China Glaze - Secret Peri-Wink-Le
I don't know about you, but having nail polish that matches my clothes on makes me feel more presentable, neat, elegant. I had a pretty important meeting this morning, and I dressed up. I needed to do a quick mani, and this one was on my desk, because I just got it yesterday - second hand polish FTW:) I thought: Hey, ChG, this must be a great polish! and it matched my blazer prefectly! So, one coat... two coats... THREE COATS?!? NO! 4! Damn you secret periwinkle! And I love the colour soooo much, it's the perfect colour if you ask me. But seriously, what's with the formula? I sort of suspect it was thinned out before I got it:( EDIT: I found out from the previous owner it WAS NOT thinned out. So I blame China Glaze for the crappy formula now.
And here are the pics. See how it looks I have a centimeter of polish on my nails? *sigh*
I have a question for all of you more experienced gals - if a polish is too runny or watery, is there a way to thicken it? Like leaving it opened/uncapped for an hour of so?

Nfu-Oh 60
My first Nfu-Oh :))) From a sale, used, of course. I'm still reluctant to pay large sums of money for polishes:)
This took three cots to be sattisfactory and four to be opaque. Next time I'll layer it. But I really like it anyway:))

Random stuff and giveaway winner
First I have to apologise for my rant a few days ago, but I was so fed up and had to get it off my chest. Thank to everyone who commented and sent emails, I'm fine and managed to avoid the flood. It was a matter of centimetres, so I had no sleep whatsoever during the weekend.
And I have to extend my sympathis to all of the Slovenian families who did get fdlooded. We really had a terrible weekend here, and the damage will take months to repair. I feel for you all!
On another note: I had a giveaway for Slovenian blogers which ended yesterday, so I'm due to pick a winner:) The rest of the post will be in Slovene, sorry.
Torej punce, giveaway Nfu-Oh lakcev, ki ga sponzorira Za Piko Na i, se je včeraj končal. Dobila sem precej mailov, prijavilo se vas je več kot sem pričakovala! Zmagovalko sem izbrala naključno s pomočjo programa The Hat, ki naključno izbere ime izmed vnesenih. Torej, zmagovalka je:
Tassa! Čestitam!! Ti že pišem mail:)
Vsem hvala za sodelovanje, upam da bom imela priložnost organizirati še kkašen tak giveaway.

Flood Rant
Warning: major rant ahead. If you wanted to see nails, sorry, no go. If you're not in the mood to read an angry woman's writings, please ski this post.
I live near a little creek that usually has a few litres of water in it. It used to be just that, a small creek. Now, everything in our area is changing - big appartment complexes, large parking lots, the highway... And waters from all of these surfaces run into that little creek. There's very little fields or other grassy areas left to soak in the water. Consequently, what used to be a creek turns into a goddamn river in the fall when it rains. And when we get rains like this weekend, we move everything from my apartment, which is on the ground level, into my parents part of the house on the first floor, and then spend our time watching the level of the "creek" and hoping it won't flood. Right now, my living room is completely stripped of everything but bare furniture, my bedroom is empty. Effin depressing. But still, better be safe than sorry. I lost almost everything in a flood three years ago. Everything I couldn't rescue in half an hour that is. And because there are only a couple of houses threatened by floods, nobody really cares. All we can do is hope for the rain to stop. And that's what I'm doing right now. I wanted to paint my nails to pass the time, but I packed up all my polishes in a giant box, which I can't find among all of my other crap and valuables upstairs. Today is sooo not my day.
Sorry for the rant people, but I just had to get it off my chest. Hope you're all safe!

Zoya - Harlow
Finally some nails!!! I got this in a mini swap, and it's my first Zoya! I'm really a collector of different brands, every time I get a polish of a brand I don't already own I'm happy as hell:))
This was two coats, and dried super fast. I really like the finish, but I should have used a ridge filler as a base, because it's very unforgiving of flaws in my nails.

People sayings
I've been totally swamped with my studies, so still no nails. Now I'm fed up and decided to share some pics/sayings from a website I found a while ago, Make My Mood - People Sayings. None of these is my making, all are from the above site. I only copied my favs here:)
