Of course I put it on as soon as I got it, I couldn't wait! I love the brush and application. It dries semi-matte, so I put a coat of Seche Vite (thank you Chris!) on top. I have tears in my eyes, I love it that much. What's there not to love?
Ciate - Headliner
When I got home yesterday, this baby was sitting on my desk waiting for me. It was a birthday gift from Maja at Licila.si. Maja, I looove youuuu!! They just started selling Ciate polishes, and I was waiting for my paychech to splurge on one. Believe it or not, Headliner was at the top of my list.

Wanna know who won my giveaway? ;)

I'll be emailing you asap, and congratulations!
On a side note- would any of you girls be interested in a swap of used polishes? I have piles of ones I only tried and am positive I'll never wear again.

Eyeko - Posh Polish
I'm trying out something new - subtle manicures for college. I don't think it's going to stick:)
This is Eyeko - Posh polish. The formula was great, two coats. No TC.
And just for fun - A picture of Puhek (Fluffy), one of my two guinea pigs.

China Glaze - Entourage and Barry M - Instant Nail Effect
Yes! I'm finally back to blogging! I found a lamp in my living room that I can take almost decent pictures with, so better than nothing.
Here's a mani I was sporting at the beginning of this week. China Glaze - Entourage, topped with Barry M crackle polish. ChG would take at least three polishes to look ok enough to wear alone, but I got away with two because I put the crackle polish over it. I didn't put any top coat on, because I wanted the crackle polish to stay matte. Consequently, the black started falling off in pieces in matter of hours. Damn was I angry :S

Apologies, giveaway and stuff:)
I'm crazy busy, so no blogging. i'm currently wearing Nina Pro - Purple X-Ing, which is amazing, but I wasn't home in time to catch some daylight and lightbulb pics are just crappy. I'm wishing for a lightbox for my birthday;)
I've been thinking about a giveaway for some time now, but figured I'd do it after the holidays since there were plenty in December. And my birthday is coming up, so let's call this one Fleur's birthday giveaway:)I'm turning 25, so there are 25 items in it. yes, mostly nail polish, but also some MU that is currently essential in my life:)
Here's the loot:
First, three Vollare nail art polishes (101, 133 and 140).
Some S-He (464, 455, 399 and 437):
Again Vollare, this time Ashanti and Joy polishes (326, G113, G109 and 387):
Of course I can't do anything without Essence:
(Undead?, Trensetter, Watch out, Glisten up! and Happy holiday)
Some random polishes:
(Catrice - Back to black, BL Deluxe - 5 and Alessandro - 265)
And as I promised, some MU stuff. These days, the combo of the cream eyeshadow and some powder eyeshadow, quickly blended on my eyelid, is my go-to eye make up. It lasts through the day and it's quick and foolproof. So I bought these for you too:) And an addition of a lipgloss in a bloody red colour and false lashes for weekend evenings out:)
If you counted you see that there are only 23 item. Yes, I promised 25:) The other two items are jewellery pieces, which the winner gets to choose herself from my new web site, Lumpa.si. Sorry guys, it's only in slovene for now, but I will translate it in the near future:) And a hint... I figured out a new technique for the rings, I'm going to post some new pictures on the site tomorrow.
That's it, 25 items for my 25th birthday:) To enter, you must be a public follower via GFC and comment on this post with your email. Open internationally. This giveaway closes on my birthday, that is the 18th of January, at 2 pm (when I was born) CET.
Good luck!

My stash
During the holidays I took some time and organized my stash. I proudly present a spreadsheet with all the polishes I own (without treatments, BC and TC):
LINK to the Google spreadsheet
The link to this spreadsheet will always be available on the right sidebar, so if you wish to see swatches of any specific polish, just ask and I will make it happen:)

Essence - Black Out and Constance Carroll - Flashing Silver
Even though I drastically shortened my nails again (because I can't type with long nails...), they're still sort of yellow or greenish, because i was lazy the other day and didn't use a base coat. I know I know, should have known better... I was in a real hurry yesterday, so I had to put a polish on that was a one coater. I remembered reading about this Essence one from their new trend edition - I was lucky and Santa brought it to me:) It's a semi matte, plastic sort of finish polish.
One coat was enough for medium coverage, the sort that you can get away with, but are annoyed by the balder spots:) So when I came home, I put another coat on my pinky finger - you can see that it does look much better. I also put a matte top coat on my middle finger, to show you the difference between matte and "soft touch finish" as Essence calls it.
I've been in a shimmery/blingy phase for some time now, so of course having matte black nails is not acceptable:) I put a layer of Constance Carroll's Flashing Silver on top, and two layers on my ring finger, sort of like an accent nail. I really like this polish, it's cheap and makes any dull polish liven up just enough, so it's still wearable but blingy.
