Minty 2.O

Hi my lovelies,like I said I am so into mint nail polish lately and I have one more mani to show you.


The newest addition to my polish collection 'Yes Love' Y4 (yes,the name is super original,I know :D ) It is just a bit more on the green side in real life,on the pics it always look kinda blu(ish)


I love the color on its own,and didnt want to owerpower it with nail art so I just added a few gold stripes,just to make it more fun :)







That's all for today,hope you like it :)


Love and kisses:***

So fresh,so green

Hello my lovelies happy Monday :) It is starting to be really hot here so I wanted a new fresh mani,and what is more more fresh then minty green :)


My new polish love CLICHE "Cancun"


It looks a bit blue(ish) on some pics,but in person it is a pure minty green beauty
Then I added a bit of silver and a touch of white just to play with it and here is how it turned out




Its not so perfect and neat,since I was in a hurry,but I like how it looks.I am in love with the color of "Cancun" so you might see it with some other nail art combo very soon :)


That's all for today,hope you liked it:)

3 Pinks and a neon

Hi ladies,hope you are all doing well. I am very bussy last few weeks but here is just a quick post to show you some of my new 'babies'.
As you already know,I love pink so I brought not one but 3 more pink polish bottles


Hot,bubblegum and baby pink,all so pretty and I just couldn't resist :)
And among all that pink delight a neon caught my eye,and since I don't have any neon polish (shame on me) he joined the collection as well :)


Neon: Yes Love 438,
Pinks: Cliche "Surpresa", Yes Love 248, Yes Love 329

So for today I was really in a pink mood and I choose a pretty bubblegum pink - Yes Love 248




Opaque in two coats,easy to apply,goes on smooth,dries pretty fast = perfect combo in my book :)

That's all for today,hope you liked it:)

Avon Ideal Flawless Foundation - Raeview

Hello ladies,hope you are doing well and enjoying your weekend:) Today I decided to do a raeview of my new favourite foundation: Avon Ideal Flawless (Invisible coverage foundation). I know I don't do many raviews but I'll try my best :)

First a lil something about my skin. It is very dry and super sensitive and sometimes its hard to find a product that will not make my skin brake out. Also I am a liquid foundation girl,its my number one must have product in my make up bag.
About a month ago I heard about Avon's Ideal Flawless foundation on gossmakepartist's YouTube channel,where he compared it to Make Up Forever's HD Foundation and said really good things about it.Since he is a pro when it comes to make up,I decided to try it.


I bought mine for around 11 euros,but depending on the catalogue and country the prices go from 11 to 19 euros (here in Portugal its 19).
As you can see from the pic Avon claims to be an invisible coverage foundation.


So here are my thoughts on the foundation:

First the packaging is very nice,heavy glass container, looks like a more high end product.It comes with a standard amount of 30 ml.
What is really important it has a pump wich allows you to control the amount of product so you will not waste your foundation by spilling to much.


I am in a shade "Ivory" wich is the lightest one,and when applied and blended is a perfect match for my skintone. It comes in a lot of different shades,available for light,medium and dark skin,wich is a big plus.



It is pretty liquid and one pump will be more then enough for the whole face. I applied it after my moisturizer,without a face primer using a stippling brush. The foundation goes on very smooth,it is super easy to blend and work with.

It has a light feel to it,wich is a huge plus in my book,since I don't like to have that "caked" on heavy foundation feeling on my face :) The coverige is medium to buildable, and what I was most impressed with is a really nice natural finish.It is not comleately matte but its not dewy eather,like I said very natural looking.


It is a very long lasting foundation,it didnt dry my skin out,didnt turn out blotchy,or oxidise and it doesn't change color throuhout the day. Most important it didn't brake me out.
It evens out the skin tone,covers redness and minor imperfections (like small acne scars that I have).


Over all,I fell in love with this foundation,becauce it really does what it says: My face looked flawless,it feels super light like you don't even have foundation,it gives a very natural look.
To be honest,in 3 weeks I have been using it it became my favourite foundation,and I will definitely buy it again.Like I said the prices are different from country to country but even the 19 euros price is worth it,in my oppinion.


Have you tried this foundation?What is your favourite? Let me know how you liked this reaview,and would you like to read more of this kind of post here:)

Golden tips (Summer french)

Hello my friends,today just a quick post to show you  my recent mani. I loved the blue that I showed you in my last post but I was inspired by a dress I was wearing so I had to change my mani:) You canimagine how happy my hubby was when I said I am not done getting ready to go out and that I need to change my nail polish :D Oh,but no worries,he ended up loving the final result :))



This is my old "Carlo di Roma" polish,and it is such a bright and fun pechh-pink-coral (ish) color (if that makes sense,I am not good at describing colors ) For some reason it doesn't show its true shade on camera,in person is so much prettier. And it mached the flowers on my dress perfect:)



The color itself is gorgeous but I wanted to jazz it up a bit so I added a touch of gold,with my "Golden Rose" nail art polish.I am very impressed with their nail art polishes,the formula is good,the brush is super thin so you can draw on the nails with no problem,and it dries pretty fast.




And there you have it - a simple and cute summer time french mani :)


Oh,and we went shopping the other day,so I brought a few new babies home with me,and I will show you those in next  few posts:) I also finally got some stuff I ordered on line a while ago (clothes,shoes...) so if you would like to see those as well let me know and I will make a post on those as well.


That's all for today,hope you liked it

Two shades of Blue

Hello ladies,long time no see :) I missed posting so much but just could't find enough time to upload pics,edit,and write a post,but I finally wake up early today and while my son is still sleeping decided to get some things done:)
 Today I have a mani/pedi post. I used to always,but always,match my nailpolish on my finger nails and on my toes.Well now I am kinda over that and so into choosing one color but two different shades .




These are my two shades of blue, both by the brand "Cliche" - "Seychel" for my manicure, "Blue" for my toe nails:) Both polishes are easy to work with,dry pretty fast nad have a nice formula.














My feet are not very photogenic so the darker shade  looks much better in person then on pics :)
I like these two colors together,and trying to find other color combos that I can wear like this (lighter shade on my fingernails,darker on my toe nails or the other way around).


Do you mach your mani/pedi nail polish?
