Some old and dark

Hey! Now that there is few posts between these, I can post another half-and-half mani :D


I think it was a sunny day when I made this.. I started with this gorgeous dark grey holo from Golden Rose. Color 119. Very beautiful and easy to apply!

And to spice it up, here is what I came up with


Depend black polish which includes pink and green shimmer! The polish number has disappeared from the bottle!! Apparently that happens all of them :/

And here you can see how gorgeous the holo-effect actually is


Loved the design, but when there was no sun occasionally, it was a bit too dark. But again, maybe later when the sun is more likely shining!

And now I need some help!!

I tried to order some nailpolishes from models own, and use my 30% off coupon. But when I have all of the polishes in font of me, and start to click on them and add to my cart, at some point it just throws me to their front page, and my cart is empty. And that happened many times, after I've chosen like 8 polishes. Totally frustrating!!

Have any of you had the same problem? How could I fix this? And is the models own page slow to you too? Because for me it is. I would appreciate any help here, because those colors are so gorgeous!

If you can help me, thank you so much!!

Moody nails

The fog here has been transformed to rain. Absolutely depressing!! I want to see sun! I want to feel the dry asphalt (that is totally my first sign of spring/summer)! Want to lose some clothes!! And the warm wind! Oh.. Not that biting wind that throws also water on your face. COME ON SUMMER!!!

So here is the base I wore couple of days, and it is kinda summery. Not too bright, but cute what so ever.

Models Own Lime Light

And to the "fun" part: This is seven or eight layers!!! 7 or 8!! And still you can see the nail line. Maybe not in the picture but IRL. Man! If I hadn't had all the time I had when I put this on, I would have freaked out. Luckily all the layers dried very quickly, so the building was fast, but still. Unbeleviable. Is this general to Models Own polishes, or is it just the sheer ones? Despite the layering, I liked the polish a lot. Maybe more from this brand...

But today, when the weather totally brought me down, I fixed my nails to reflect that feeling. Really I don't like the outcome, but it was so suitable to what I see from my window, that I think I'll leave it that way for now. Though tonight I will take it off! Tomorrows nails are already planned :)

But here's the moody nails.


Over the Lime Light I put Golden Rose 107, the one from my previous haul (not posted it yet...). Two layers, and now looking at it here, it sure is soooo depressing. I should take it off. Definately on a sunny day, when the Golden Rose holo can make its magic, this would be different kind of story, but not now. Ok, I'll think I'll stop now!!

p.s. I'm supposed to be reading to my university-getting-in-test... Been making lot of excuses not to :/

Couple of Hauls

Hellou! Something totally off topic for starters:

So I'm trying to get to university next fall, and the book that I'm supposed to read and learn from cover to cover, was published today! There is like month and two weeks to study before the test which takes you to the "next level". To some interviews and stuff. I think this is my last chance, because probably I'll put all my effort to this year, and am too pissed if not getting in. Seriously! But I will get there this year. I truly will!

And to the point. On last week, and again this week, I kind of bought only few polishes. Actually, it is only a few! While waiting to start ordering from the internet (yes I know, why to wait? I'm a bit coward for doing things for the first time. I need my time...) I've kept my hands away from polishes like O.P.I., China Glaze, Orly and so on (I think those are the only known brands you can get from my town..) and only searched polishes that costs under 5 euros. There are some surprises when doing so, some good ones and some... not so good ones. Haven't quite figured yet which I've get the most.

Here is the earlier one


From left to right, Wild and Crazy Neon Yellow and Lemon (?), Golden Rose 119 (gorgeous!!) and cute miss selene 173. All of these from Seppälä.

I already tried the green one, and I didn't like it. I mean the colour is awesome, but it didn't apply very well :/ And how I already hyped the brand earlier. Well, I'm not totally down with it yet. I will give them another chance, not just right away.

But that Golden Rose!!! I'll put that to another post, but have to say: WOW! So simple, so cute.

On to the second haul. These ones are like one from here, another from there... well, see for yourself


From left to right, Revlon 097, Plum Seduction (gotta love the name!), Sinful Colors #302 San Francisco, IsaDora 93, Brisk Yellow, Wet'n wild Deep Rouge, Mavala Tropique and some Eveline cosmetics, Party Colours 470... Some of these are just like "hey, that's a cheap one.." but Mavalas were all on sale, and usually I don't like any of them specifically, but resently I have been starting to love those blues!! Can't wait to get Tropique on my nails.

San Francisco... That one I would have loved, only if it had dried in a decent time!! But no. I think I'll have to give her aswell a second chance as soon as I get some drying topcoat. Here is the only thing I could capture of it

And there is also some kind of a cut. But love the colour..

Quite a long post, but hope somebody is interested! Tomorrow I'm going to have some fun, don't know yet what to wear on my nails!

Tarrojen hienous



Unbeleviable! Olen malttanut pitää viime torstaista/perjantaista asti samat luomukset kynsissä. More Unbeleviable, puolentoista tunnin kloorivedessä lillumisen jälkeen ne ei menneet miksikään!
Eli en päässyt edes toteuttamaan suunnitelemaani korjausta, josta eilen mainitsin. Täytyy tehdä se siis ihan vain huvikseen :)

Lähtökohta oli siis tämä:Kaksi kerrosta Wild and Crazy Anchoragesia.


Sen päälle kaksi kerrosta Golden Rose sävyä 103, ja tämä oli mielestäni todella nätti. Taidan käydä hakemassa Seppälästä loputkin Golden Rosen hololakat :) Ainaskin punertava ja tummemman harmaa olisi haaveissa!

Kuitenkaan luonto ei antanut periksi, että olisin nämä tällaisiksi jättänyt. Kiirehän siinä loppujen lopuksi tuli, joten en ainakaan mitään konad juttuja olisi kerennyt tekemään. Valitsin siis Seppälästä ostetun kynsitarra-arkin, ja valinta osui todella nappiin:


Erittäin helposti lähtivät alustastaan irti, pinsettejä apuna käyttäen. Pienellä asettelulla löysivät oman paikkansa kynsien alareunasta, eikä tarran rajoja näy ollenkaan. Aiemmin en ole tarroja kokeillut, mutta tämä kyllä vakuutti. Päälle kaksi kerrosta päällyslakkaa, ja that´s it. Kovin kovin olen tyytyväinen, niinkuin olen jo muutaman kerran sanonut!

Ja vielä viimeisin kuva, puolentoista tunnin kloorivedessä uittamisen jälkeen näyttävät kynnet tältä:

Tarrat ei repsota, lakat ei "kuoriutuneet" pois, päät ei lohkeillut. Liputan nyt siis isolla lipulla Seppälän puolesta! Wild and Crazyissa on nimittäin iso valikoima värejä, eikä hintakaan päätä pakota: 2,95 e! Jeij!

Ja teatteriesitys oli oikein viihdyttävä!

Edit. pakko lisätä vielä viimeinenkin vaihe kynsistä:

Kovasti olisi himoittanut rajata vielä hopeisella lakalla tuo mustan ja harmaan raja, mutta hopeinen koristelulakka ei ole vielä tullut. Ja ehkä siitä olisi tullut hieman tökerön näköinen..
Ja kyseessähän on Dependin upea sävy 104, joka on tummanharmaa/musta hopealla glitterillä (?).
