New nail polishes

Hello everyone! 

  I don't know if you all know this brand, but I have plenty of nail polishes from this brand, and it's one of the cheapest and with high quality nail polishes we have here in Portugal. It's "Kiko cosmetics - make up Milano"! They actually have stores in plenty of countries, mostly in Europe I believe. They do great promotions, all over the year, there's been a few times that they've made over 50% discount on all nail polishes, it's simply amazing!

  So, presented brand, I'll introduce to you my latest acquisition! 3 gorgeous nail polishes, the consistency of these nail polishes is great, one of the best I've ever used, with some of them one coat is enough, but if you want a perfect look two of them is just fine. They're long lasting and they super shining! Here's the latest nail polishes I've bought:

295 - Cerulean Blue;

343 - Spring Green;

361 - Raspberry Pink.

  295 - Cerulean Blue - It's a beautiful summer color, between blue and cyan. It's super bright and extremely pretty. My nails were great with just one coat on, but I applied a 2nd one to perfect their look. The consistency of this polish is great, not sticky and not liquid. It's perfect.

  343 - Spring Green - The color ain't that blue, as you can see in the first picture where the bottle is shown, but with the light I had it looks a lot more blue than it really is... In the dark it's much greener, it's a color between cyan and green. From all the 3 nail polishes, this one is my least favorite. It's too much liquid, you need at least two coats to make it look good... Just one is impossible! Anyway, it's a beautiful color to be worn during summer.

  361 - Raspberry Pink - It's a cute color caught between pink and red, it's the characteristic raspberry pink, there's not much to say about this color. Also suitable for wearing during summer. The thickness is similar to the Cerulean Blue that I talked about, but I don't like it as much. 

  And that's it! Hope you've loved these nail polishes as much as I do! 

  Kiss,

Summer Nail Polish Collections

Hello everyone! 

  I don't really know how it is with all your different countries (because you guys are from all over the world) but here in Portugal, summer just started yesterday! Even though the temperatures are not delicious (I'm used to a hot weather, that's why I don't enjoy these rainy hot days) the colors that I wear on my clothes are more bright, shiny and cute... So I thought, why not going posting about some new nail polish collections? 

  And that's what I'm going to do! I'll introduce to you the brand new Summer 2014 Collections of Essie and O.P.I.! 

  From Essie, there's actually two collections that I'll be talking about, Essie - Summer 2014 and Essie - Neons 2014. I'll also talk about O.P.I. - Neon by OPI. 

Essie - Summer 2014 - "Want to stay haute in the heat? I've got the perfect shade. Essie" 

1 - Urban Jungle - "Irresistible alabaster orchid";

2 - Fierce, No Fear - "Intense cocoa mahogany";

3 - Roarrrrange - "Unstoppable, blod orange";

4 - Strut your stuff - "Compelling cobalt aqua";

5 - Ruffles & feathers - "Powerfull peacock teal";

6 - Haute in the heat - "Unforgettable hot guava". 

Essie - Neons 2014 - "Call me anytime nothing's too taboo between us. Essie" 

1 - Too taboo - "Florescent fushia berry";

2 - Chills & thrills - "Supercharged blue violet";

3 - I'm addicted - "Neon aquamarine blue";

4 - Vices versa - "Juicy neon lime";

5 - Serial shopper - "Florescent fire coral";

6 - Sitiin' pretty - "Vivid intense lavender". 

O.P.I. - Neon by OPI - "Go Neon... Or Go Nude."

1 - Life Gave Me Lemons;

2 - You are So Outta Lime;

3 - Juice Bar Hopping;

4 - Hotter than You Pink;

5 - Push & Pur-Pull;

6 - Down to the Core-al.

  From these three collections, my favorite is definitely Essie - Summer 2014, because I just love "Ruffles & feathers", that amazing aqua! I also love Essie - Neon 2014, but I wouldn't wear "Chills & thrills", 'cause it's a waaaay to bright blue. About the O.P.I. - Neon by OPI, I don't really think it's a really neonish collection, and the only one I actually like is "Life Gave Me Lemons" and I wouldn't wear the remaining colors. 

  Hope you've enjoyed this post.

Purple Waterfall Nails

Hello everyone! 

  As I promised here are my weekly nails: 

  This is one of the colors I've chosen for you in my last post: Follow my blog with Bloglovin, from set #5 - 2nd color! It's a cute summer color more like a soft purple, it resembles to Essie - Play Date. It's a sexy, kind of flirty purple, and I simply love the way it looks on my nails! For my ring finger, I simply did a "waterfall effect" by using white as a base color, and then making random stripes (from the base of my nail to the tip) with 3 different colors: the same soft purple I used on my other nails, a neon blue and a neon orange, I also used a silver glitter to make it look more sexy. 

  It took me about half-an-hour to make these nails (applying base and top coat, and letting my nails dry before adding another coat), they are super easy to do and they look great! 

  Hope you've enjoyed these nails. 

  Kisses,

Hello everyone! 

  I'm sorry I haven't been posting anything in a while, but I had a few personal problems that caused me lack of time... I don't know how often I will be able to come here and post new updates, but I promise that from now on I will be doing it once in a while! 

  Lately, I haven't had any inspiration to make any new nail art designs, I can say that I'm a bit unmotivated... So, I've decided that everytime I remember, I'll show you what color are on my nails! And as it is summer time around here, there's tons of bright and cheerful colors that you can wear on your nails!

  With that being said I present you a few color combinations, inspired by some images, that I think that are perfect to wear during summer! Of course, there are tons of different shades, some more dark, other ones more bright, but these are the ones I want to show you for now:

  #1 Mostly consists in some nude colors, I chose these ones because not everyone has the possibility to wear super bright and fun colors on their nails. This set is composed by a dark green that resembles to a green lake water, where there's a huge amount of flora and living creatures. There's also this pink that is not as bright as most of you may wish, but it is a great color to wear during summer. The three remaining colors are basic nudes that you can use all year.

  #2 In continuation of the previous set, these colors are a little bit more bright, but still not entirely bright and neon. There's  this kinda darker green, resembling to an asparagus green that is smooth to wear and perfect for a professional look on your nails. I've chosen two bright colors for this set, that probably are the most seen ones: the light green and the hot pink. Last but not least I chose a very very very very cloudy super light pink to complete this set.

  #3 Is a completely different scenario. Inspired by a photograph taken in the Netherlands (not by me) I chose these 5 matching color. A brownish green and a dark pink, again, to wear during a more professional occasion, a kind of nude pink that is darker than the previous pink, and two different sky blues.

  #4 Is inspired by a peacock feather, going from a bit darker purple to a light one, from a really light blue so a super cute to wear blue and also a super almost white purple. These color are a lot more fun to wear than the previous ones and are definitely my favourite set. Not only because my favourite color is purple, but also because I love the way that these blues match with my skin tone. 

  #5 I don't think that yellow and orange matches my skin tone, but it looks amazing in certain people. Inspired by a summer sunset, I chose a really light sunny yellow that looks great if you have a tanned skin tone, as well as the orange. I also chose a deep sea blue, more like a dark blue with a purplish touch, because even though it is a dark color it can look great on your nails if you have a really light skin tone. Again, I've chosen two different shades of purple that can be seen in the sky of the picture. 

  Apart from the colors, my blog can now be followed using Bloglovin. So don't forget to follow me up: Everything-About-Nails-Bloglovin.

  Hope you've enjoyed my come back.
