Magenta Spatters

I want to quickly note that I just started a new blog, more personal space where I wanna share some moments of my life, our vacations, holidays, trips, family weekends, yummy food and snacks we eat and make at home, baby hauls, fashion hauls and more. It wasn't comfortable for me to mix and talk about my personal life here, so I decided to start a new blog. Also it's on russian because I'm a russian-speaking-girl and obviously expressing thoughts on native language is the best! But "translator" is a friend to most of us, right? Anyways, if you'd like to check it, I would be very appreciative. Click HERE to see :)

I had no particular idea for today's minicure but what I knew for sure that there should be an "element" from dear ASI Nails. She shared very nice nail tutorial for water bubble effect and I wanted to try it to. But I did a big mistake I guess. I draw the circles and I waited for it to dry and I think it's better to make bubbles stright away, on wet paint. Oh, well, everything still looks put together, right? wrong? 
 To make this nail design I applied 2 coats of black polish with holo glitters to it. With white paint and nail art brush I draw shapes of splatters and then filled them in with magenta paint. Added some bubbles and just a little bit of glittery polish to the actual splatters. Sealed everything with shimmery top coat and done :)

Yes, I know, it's not super original nail art but I really do have hard time to make my short nails look pretty lol~ I just can't do nail art on shorter nails anymore...
Products I used besides of base and top coats:
The Face Shop Face & it polish in BK901
Oumaxi White acrylic paint
Jo Sonja Brilliant Magenta acrylic paint
Nail art brush
I think thats it for today. Thank you for taking time and visiting my blog :)
Have a polished day!

"I Love Pink" Nails

To be more correct I'm not only like pink I also like every single color under the sun: red, green, white, brown, whatever lol~ "I love Pink" because I used MJ VIII image stamping plate from MyOnlineShop which I got as my birthday present :) Thank you so much Meann! I've played with some of the images and they are super nice and works perfectly!
Indoor day lighting...
For my main background color I used this absolutely adorable polish in #17 from Rose Ann. They are so tiny and so cute :) I like the pigmentation and texture, it's quite opaque even in 1 coat, but I have 2 layers here without top coat (yet). So so so cute packaging, I have a few of these and totally can't wait to use other colors too :)
12 Colors Rhinestone Wheel. 
But for today's design I'm trying to do an accent on this beautiful rhinestone wheel. These are flat back round nail art stones, 3mm in size. Comes with 12 different colors. This type of rhinestones looks absolutely different then regular ones. It can be used as an accent detail for nail art as well as independent pattern - in both cases, it will look unique because of the original rhinestone shape. Suitable for natural nails and artificial nails also. Definitely nice product to have for decorating nails! In no way I'm trying to sell or make an advertising of anything but just share my honest thoughts of what I like!

Cuticle Revitalizer Oil Set

Today I want to share my basic method for hydrating cuticles and nails. It's very important to moisturize cuticles and nails all the time! By doing this you'll achieve long healthy nails and pleasant looking cuticles. Recently I started using Cuticle Revitalizer Oil set from Born Pretty store: 
"This unique natural revitalizing complex blend of peach extract, mango extract, calcium, safflower oil and vitamins to nourish moisturize and protect the cuticles and nails. Panthenol (Vitamins B-5) penetrate the nail surface and carry calcium vitamins and nutrients to the nail matrix. This patented carrying complex is a sure way to get these important ingredients and nutrients directly to the nail matrix."
Usage: Brush on your cuticle lightly and massage gently 3-4 times a week. You will achive longer, stronger and beautiful natural nails. 
Ingredients: Grapeseed Oil, Amino Acids, BHA, Natural Keratin, Organic Calcium, Sunflower Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Sesame Oil, Vitamin B-5, Vitamin E, Silk Procaine, Natural Pan phenol, Thymol, Methyl Glucose Ether. 
It's a transparent plastic twisting tube with white brush applicator. Right now I'm using Jasmine Oil and I really do like it! Each oil has proper flavor which is not very strong. And the only difference between each product is smell, the ingredients are absolutely the same. I really do like this type of cuticle oil but it's to small in size, so I can finish one tube in a few days. Because I'm not following the instructions and apply this cuticle oil few times a day.
Here I applied Jasmine oil on my bare nails. I do this procedure every time before I start my manicure.
What is your favourite cuticle moisturizer?

Mismatch Mani: Chevron and Caviar

I decided to give it another chance to caviar nails. Click HERE for my previous ones. This time I caviared only one nail on both hands by using Charmlimit Caviar Manicure Kit which dear Rose Ann gifted to me. And actually I learned a trick to make micro-beads stay a bit longer on your nails. You just need to apply very-very-verrry thick layer of top coat and then sprinkle caviar beads on top of un-dried polish. This way everything will stay put a little longer. I did my mani this morning and I can say 8+ hours later it looks "brand new" nails :)
 Products I used besides of base and top coats:
Charmlimit Caviar Manicure Kit
The Face Shop Lovely Me:ex polish in WH002
Oumaxi Black paint
Detail nail art brush.

"Emerald" Nails

I watched such an amazing movie the other day. And it's called Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters. I loved it so much! I watched it twice, yes twice lol~ I made my hubby look this movie too and seems he liked it too :) And while watching the movie I noticed that main emphasis was given on emerald color. That's where the idea of NOTD was born.
It's super easy nail art but so sparkly!
I applied main emerald green base color, then applied a layer of green glitters and randomly sticked gold rounded glitters. 
Products I used besides base and top coats:
Bobbie polish in Glaze Emerald
Nabi polish in Green Glitters
Gold glitters in 3 different sizes.
 Bobbie polish in Glaze Emerald. 3 coats on without top coat. I belive it's a frosty finish. A bit sheer consistency but dries quickly.
Thank you Rose Ann  for this nail polish :)
On random note I want to share my today's story because I feel bad and have to talk to someone... I had an accident today.
This past month I work for home-shopping company and I deliver parcels in our apartments only. Because I have kids and I'm going to hairdressing class, so I can't have a full time job right now.
So, I called at one address this afternoon and woman voice answered. She said she went to grocery store and having launch somewhere in the restaurant. I asked if it's ok if I leave her parcel in the apartments office (all busy people store parcels in the office and when they have time they go and get them). Btw, the office is the next building to her house. And she said NO NO NO! she said me come to the restaurant she was at the time. I politely said that I don't drive packages, and deliver them by my foot, and so I can't get there because I'm responsible for other parcels too and can't go away for so long. The woman said me she will get home soon so I can come to her. All right then, my original thoughts was: she having lunch so I can go and deliver some other parcels. At 4:10 PM I go up stairs at 5 th floor (we don't have elevator in our apartments) and instead of simple thank you, have a great day or just a lazy smile she yell at me and said I'm late. She made that I promised her to deliver that stupid box at 4:00 and I was promise her nothing, seriously, but HEY! I was at her door at 4:10 not that inexcusably? I have minimum 60-70 boxes per day and I can't count everything by minute. She just opened door, snatch the box from my hands, throw on the floor and tried to fight with me! I looked at her like on crazy person and left with no words. And thats not even finished! When I went down she waited me at her balcon and yelled me that I'm poor deliver woman, don't be such bad person, don't live like that! I said her to not waste her such busy time and go inside. I didn't apologize that I was late for 10 mins, I'm busy too but I think she have to give me apologize too! 
I'm never rude and don't hold any grudge against mean or sick people but those words made me feel bad! And I feel bad right now! Yes, it's true I don't make a huge millions but thats enough to me to store the money monthly at bank so my kids grow up and have at least starting capital.
~~~~~~~~
Ahhhh~ Blogging world is just the best thing happened to me! I always feel support even by writing here!
Thank you for taking time and visiting my blog and so sorry for the long rant!
P.S. Just by my own experience, please don't hate your delivering man for being a few minutes late or don't smiling face!
