Random Sunday: Nail art Seminar,day at the beach,yoga and dreams that came true

Hello my sweethearts,long time no see :) I feel I haven't blogged in so long I just don't know from where to start. So,let me just say a few words about the Gel,Acrylic and Nail art Seminar I attended. It was a two day  day event with presentation of IBD and Galaxy products and it was great,I am so grateful I had the chance to learn so much. I started practicing nail art on a daily basis,I fell in love with acrylic paints and tried nail art using UV gel.
The seminar made me think of how much I love the beauty industry,how much I enjoy doing hair and nails,and anything beauty related really. I was always good with hair so I finally decided to step it up and make a career change and start doing what I really love.I am currently at my BFF's salon (she is a hairstylist and a nail technician for 15 years) where I am training for a hairstylist (and practicing my nail art).All I can say is that I am so happy and I am loving every minute of it.

Practice,practice ... :)

The roses and flower petals I did on my friend's nails :)

Last weekend I took some time off and went to the beach with hubby and friends.We did a 13 km walk along the beach,had lunch and took a yoga class at sunset.It was a great relaxing day,it was so much fun :)

Paradise <3

For the end of this post I leave you with my latest mani,tropical inspired flowers I am in love <3

That is all for today,hope you all have an amazing Summer <3

Roses for the sunshine :)

Hello my lovelies,hope you are having a great day :) We are in the month of June already,summer is just around the corner,but we had so much rain it felt more like November lately.I am tired of wearing rubber rain boots and always fussing with an umbrella. I want sunshine,and I want it NOW! And what better way to call up the Sun then with some flower manicure?
I am no expert in flower nail art,I admire ladies who do some amazing flower designs and I wanted to try it myself for the longest time. I have been practicing a little and yesterday I came up with the design I am happy with.I liked it so much I did the same nail art on my toes as well :)

My first roses <3 Aren't they cute? I added some polka dots just to mix and match. Like I said,I still need a lot of practice with my roses/flowers but I love how these turned out.All painted with nail polish.
The weather was so gloomy and I am sorry I couldn't take better pics outside #bbloggerproblems

As a base I used baby blue polish by Londesa called Flert polish,for roses I mixed opaque white by Golden Rose Protein (#242) and neon pink by Yes Love (#44),for leaves I used Bellaoggi Sixty seconds green polish (#18).Top coat is Eveline 3in1.

For the weekend I will be attending a 2 day seminar about gel and acrilic nails and nail art and I am so excited too see the new techniques and nail art experts at work :)

 I will try to take pics so you can expect a blog post on that too.

That is all for today,hope you liked it:)

Latest obsession: Bright pink lipstick

Hello my sweethearts,Happy Monday :) Today I want to talk about my latest obsession - bright barbie pink lipstick <3 I was always a nude lippie kinda girl,then around Christmas I fell in love with classic red lipsticks and now Spring time has inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and try something new :)

I was really into trying it out to see how I feel about it,didn't want to spend a lot of money on a lipstick that I may not end up liking and using so I went to the drugstore trying to find some not so expensive lipstick. On the Miss Sporty display this pink beauty caught my eye. I have never tried any make up products from this brand before,but I liked the color so much,the fact that its a cream formula is a plus and the price combo was total win.
Miss Sporty - 009 Innocence - Perfect Color Lipstick line- (I love that they didn't just put a number but also gave the name to the lipstick)

Simple and sleek dark blue classic lipstick packaging,cream formula,well pigmented. The lipstick doesn't dry out my lips but if you already have flakie or lips that are more on the dry side I would recommend to use a lip scrub and a lip balm before applying. The staying power is ok,after all this is not a long lasting or long wear formula lipstick so you will have to reapply during the day.Now the only thing I am not that crazy about is the scent,it has a watermelon scent (or at least it reminds me of watermelon) and its pretty strong,but once you apply it it fades away quickly.

To sum it up,I have really been liking this lipstick and since I got it I wore it almost every day. I feel like I don't need much make up,just my pink lippie some sunglasses and I am ready to go :)

Have you tried this lipstick ? What are your favorite affordable drugstore lipsticks?

Colorful summer mani

Hello my sweethearts,hope you are having an amazing day :) I have a quick post for you today,just to show you my fun and bright summer inspired manicure. Since the weather here is pretty crazy lately (from 30 degrees,rain,cloudy,storms,you name it we have it all) I wanted to have something bright and funky,something summery on my nails.This is what I came up with

Leopard design with neons make it summer perfect <3 Opaque white polish I used as a base is by Golden Rose,all the neons are by Yes Love.

Have to admit,its not the most neat nail art I have done,and its far from perfect,but I love it anyway <3It made a gloomy day so much brighter and better :)


Hope you like it too :)

Review - Golden Rose Stick Concealer

Hello my sweethearts,hope you are having a great day :) Let's talk about concealer today. I think its a must have in every woman's make up bag,and its an essential weather we want to cover up dark under eye circles, hide blemishes or play up the contour. I will show you my new favorite concealer I found at the drugstore not so long ago and I fell in love.It is Golden Rose stick concealer 

Now lets start from the packaging- This is to be honest the only thing I don't like about this concealer. It has a small lipstick like transparent plastic packaging,that looks like it can break really easy if it falls,and I will not lie,it does look kinda cheap.Another issue I have is that when you try to twist it back after use it doesn't go all the way down back in the tube,and if you are not careful you can ruin the concealer.

It contains 4,5 g of product and I got mine in shade 04.I noticed on their display in the drugstore that there are quite a few shades to choose,and that is a big plus.They even have a pure white shade which I think can be great to use as eye shadow base.(I think I will go back to the drugstore to pick it up)

The concealer is super creamy,it goes on your skin so smooth, amazingly pigmented.It blends so easy,you can use a brush,sponge (I like to use a classic wedge make up sponge) or your fingers. I tried all three and it works well no matter what application technique you choose,it blends like a dream.
I use it under my eyes to highlight the area when contouring and to hide the lack of sleep,then set it with my tr Stay Matte powder by Rimmel.It does not crease at all,it stays for hours and that is one of the main reasons I love this concealer.

It also covers up smaller blemishes,but my skin is clear now (thank God) so I don't know about acne or scars. I tried is as eye shadow primer/base and it is amazing! The eye shadow stayed put in place without the slightest hint of creasing the entire day (I put my make up on around 9 am and took it of at night before bed and the eye shadow still looked perfect).
One more great thing is the price - The drugstore was having some of Golden Rose products on discount and I payed around 1,70 euros #win Even without discount the concealer is super affordable and it costs less then 3 euros.

So if you are looking for a good concealer for under your eyes,to cover up smaller blemishes,contouring and a great eye shadow primer I would recommend you to try Golden Rose stick concealer.


Hope this review was helpful.

Have you tried Golden Rose stick concealer? What is your favorite concealer?

No doubt about glitter :)

Hello my sweethearts,hope you are all having an amazing weekend :) Today I was feeling girly and I wanted a soft,light,feminine manicure.So I went trough my polish drawers and found an old 'Carlo di Roma' pale pink cream polish that I fell in love again instantly <3 But then I found something else,something sparkly and fun :) Talking about glitter of course :D

This is also an old polish,"Golden Rose' from their Paris line,the number faded,I don't even remember when I bought it,I couldn't open it,I had to wait for hubby to help me out :D But it was a perfect match for my pale pink girly manicure:)

'Carlo di Roma' 03 - classic,pale cream pink that always look good.

And this is how two old timers created a romantic and sweet manicure <3 This will be my mani for Saturday's night date with hubby :)


That is all for today,enjoy your weekend,have fun,smile,dance,be happy :)

3 in 1 - Last weeks manicures :)

Hello my sweethearts,hope you are all doing great:) I feel like I haven't posted nothing in ages and I missed blogging,but life gets pretty hectic and sometimes there are just not enough hours in a day. I didn't have much time to blog,but I still managed to take pics of my manicures :) So without any more rambling here are my three manicures I wore for the past week :) All simple,but bright and fun:)

Perfect coral <3 Golden Rose Fantastic color in number 211.You saw it in my latest Easter polish haul,and I used it in my summer inspired mani,but last week I just wanted to wear it on its own,and I loved it.

You saw this baby already too,but I thought it won't hurt if I show it to you again :) Don Juan Nail Stars LK146 just went perfectly with my stripe romper and you know how much I love pink so its a match made in heaven. I have to say I am really impressed with Don Juan nail polishes,I have a new blue DJ polish I will show you soon.

Last few days I have been obsessed with polka dots,on skirts,blouses,pants and my nails :) Opaque white polish I used as a base is by 'B girl' (sorry,can't remember the number,it was my friends nail polish) and the polka dots are done with Golden Rose nail polishes.

It was a long and busy week,I still have some errands to run tomorrow and I am ready to enjoy the weekend :D

That is all for today,hope you liked it :)
