TOTALLY RANDOM SUNDAY #16

BLOG SALE (FOR REAL): 

WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADOPT MY BLOG?

Yes, I'm serious. 

The current situation is this: I love painting my nails and I love making pics to my nails, but I don't love writing the posts. Actually I like it, but I don't feel well enough (cause my health) to sit down and think in English, I'm always worried to have did a lot of grammar mistakes, more next months will be very hard for me. Very hard. Very. I don't want to write here what it's happening in my life, but I'm totally scared from what's supposed to begin. What's supposed to finish, actually. To someone very close to me, even very far. I'm stucked from fear, but I don't want to give up on my hobbies, they are a good way to keep my mind busy and "happy".

I couldn't be constant about posting and I always prefer to make the funny (for me) Sunday posts as soon as I have few minutes of free time. Totally Random Sunday posts could stay here in this blog in case you don't want them in your blog, no problems at all for this. I'd like to be incorporated in another blog bigger and more organized than mine: I can produce photos, edit them and write my reviews or comments or fun facts, then the "boss blogger" can change and correct my texts and post everything when she prefers. She could even picks up my old posts and repost them in a way and in a timing she likes. In this way I could continue to do my hobby, that give me relax and allows to vent myself in a creative way.

So, please, do you want to adopt me? I'm available! Italian or international blogs are both good. :)

Write to jijaje@hotmail.it if you're really interested. 
I'll read all mails and then I'll decide, hoping they will be more than zero. :)

HAULS
FEW NEW ITALIAN NAIL POLISHES! *^__^*

Two gifts from my lovely cousin who always thinks of me when she feels guilty for having bought too many nail polishes for herself! XD

- Basic Beauty by Limoni - 103: it's totally a dupe of Zoya - Apple, it's totally beautiful, it's totally great quality, it totally became one of my favorite polish ever!

- Basic Beauty by Limoni - I-don't-remember-the-number-right-now: another (almost) dupe of a Zoya one, I think it's pretty close to Zoya - Rica. What do you think about it?

- Deborah - Pret a Porter - 52 jungle adventure: a lonely purchase made a day I was very sad and I needed for (another) olive. I'm quite satisfied from it, but I need to test it better.
KIKO AGAIN! 
 
- Kiko - Full Coverage Concealer - 01 clear
- Kiko - Full Coverage Concealer - 03 medium
Maybe I eventually found _MY_ concealers: they are really full coverage, creamy and non-comedogenic (is the right word in english?) and they last almost all day long. Since I'm using these concealers (the lightest for pimples and highlight and the darkest for under-eyes) I can avoid to use fluid foundations: they cover enough to apply my pseudo-mineral foundation from ELF, yay! Never without them and I'll surely buy the 04 for summer! ;)

- KIKO - Lip Base Primer: a try. A try gone very well, anyway. This primer has the purpose to neutralize the pigmentation of lips, or most of it, so you can better enjoy the color of your lipstick and create a customized edge with no messing up. It works, it's just a bit sticky when you close the mouth, but not so much, I'm happy for this product, great value.
- KIKO - Eye Base Primer: no pics, but a wonderful opinion for this products, it's perfect for my wrinkled eyelids, because it's creamy and fills very well imperfections. Also long lasting for my eyeshadows. Great, really.

I have an indecent ammount of pics for next weeks: a swap with a friend of mine, Simona from Light your Nails! blog; few Essence purchases, and a HUGE swap with the lovely Julie from U.S.

A-England - Camelot Jesse's Girl - Confetti 2nd version

I made this mani the 12th of February, but... Here I am, at least, and you can see the other version of this polish! :P

● JESSE'S GIRL - CONFETTI 2nd version
As I wrote before, in the review of the 1st version, I was interested just in that "cute little worms" glitters, in the beginning. Then, the girl who I swapped with, has found for me both and I fell in love with this version with no hope of redemption. It's pretty close (perhaps it's even a dupe) to other more famous top coats with blue/purple duochrome effect: CND - Sapphire Sparkle is the most well-known of them.
The duochrome effect is stronger than is visible from my pics, especially the purple part is a lot more prominent in the backlight. Application is flowing but I don't remember how many coats I did, sorry. Longevity is still very good, first chips came out just 4 days after. I'm extremely happy to this polish and I finally ended my hunt to the perfect duochrome top coat with these colors. Beautiful!


● A-ENGLAND - CAMELOT
I'm always very careful about which creme worths a purchase: bases are important, ever, for every things in your life, nails are not an exception. I wanted to try the great quality of this brand with a polish to use as a base color, and I'm not disappointed at all: Camelot is flawless, just flawless.

TOTALLY RANDOM SUNDAY #15

WARNING:
Totally Random Sunday posts are written with a totally random grammar. Please, use your imagination to properly understand what I've written! Thank you in advance for your kindness. Yeah.

HAULS
FEW NEW POLISHES! *^__^*

Ah! I want to specify I don't do this kind of posts just for "look what I have" thing... No... Please... I just like to make pics of my presssscciousses when I turn back to home and I open the shopping bag or when I receive a nail mail from my friends. And I smile. Just this. :)

- A-ENGLAND - ISEULT + REVLON - STARRY PINK
I met for the first time Alice from Mai Senza Smalto in December and she gifted to me these two samples from her collection: so lovely! She remembered I commented on her blog saying they were almost the only ones pinks I strangely liked, so she thought of me: sooooo lovely!!! Or maybe is she trying to convert me? NEVER!!!! D°:

- CND - SOLAR OIL
Another gift from another blog-friend of mine, this one is from Cristina from the blog with the most brilliant  (and wise! XD) name: Pee Before Polish. I have great hopes for my cuticles when I'll start to use it! è_é/

- LAYLA - METAL SENSE - 09
Is it possible to resist to this crazily opalescent fucsia any single time I go to Sirene Blu store? No, it isn't at all!!! So... The 84th time I succumbed to temptation. And it's a bit Roberta's (from Smalto Italiano) fault! ;D

- MAVALA- 126 ELECTRIC GREEN
This is a polish I bought for my friend Daniela, then I looked at it and I put it on my Helmer, but then I felt guilty and ran to buy another one for her! :D

- NOUBA- 454
This wonderful flakie seems a lot to Orly - Fowl Play in this pic, but actually the flakies are, but the base is almost clear, instead. I bought this polish for a lot of girls and ladies who I swapped with, then I decided to pick up it even for me, at last! And finally! I'm pretty sure to have bought all stocks from all Sirene Blu of my geographic area! :D

- FURSTENBERG - 12 VERDE OLIVA
Another gift from Daniela! It's a metallic olive green with some kind of gold and copper reflection into it. A totally amazing vintage polish! *_*

A-England - Camelot Jesse's Girl - Confetti 1st version

I made this mani the 11th of February, but... Here I am, at least! :P

● JESSE'S GIRL - CONFETTI 1st version
I love polishes with "cute little worms" glitters, but this one, as I've seen on this Chloe's post, it's totally for me! Bright blue sky and fuchsia together win. In these pics it doesn't show all its beauty, I'm very sorry for this, but when I made this mani I didn't feel very well so the application paid the price for this. Sorry. Anyway, I think it's still a beautiful and unique polish, very funny, too! I discovered this polish wasn't the only one called Confetti fromt the same brand, but the girl who I've swapped with, also found for me the other one, that's going to be the topic of my next post! ;)
