A-England - Iseult + Revlon - Starry Pink + gradient

I guess this could be my only pink wednesday: I'm not a pink-type, not at all. No... Absolutely no... No way... Brrrr... By the way, sometimes there are some pinks that meet my taste, surprisingly! These two polishes are a great example for this, and a friend of mine, Alice from Mai Senza Smalto blog (visit it, it's  an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G blog!), kindly divided her bottles to gift me these for last Xmas!!! Aly, too lovely with this girl with no heart for pinks... ç__ç

I have to admit it: I LIKE IT! :D Oh! Seven Hells! I don't like a pink... I like _TWO_ pinks! Nothing will be the same anymore... >__<

● A-ENGLAND - ISEULT
A very pale pink with a slight silver opalescence. Enchanting and it even matches with my olive skin, this is a miracle! :D More, it's a very long duration on nails!

● REVLON - STARRY PINK
This polish has almost the same base colour of the previous one, but it also has hex big silver and little round glitters into it. I had some difficulties applying this polish, but just because I have short nails and I wanted the hex glitters were spread evenly, but this is a problem of mine (mind! XD). This one is very long lasting as the previous one, too!

A fruitful afternoon! *__*

Some months ago I found the blog of Chloe and I fell in love with scotch tape technique, then... Few days ago... I discovered the "scotch tape technique 2.0", on Nailside. This girl is my weekly/monthly/annual/indefinitely idol, my newest muse, my recent illumination! She's creative and still simple, original but not excessive, and I guess I'll steal a lot of ideas from her, changing colors or something or who-knows... The first one is this mani, a mix of what she calls "laser mani" and "mummy mani", and, if you want to try, here there are her tutorials. Have fun like me!!! Thank you Jane! ;D

P.S. off topic: first of all I should change this standard layout... I'm so lazy recently... -__-

Revlon - 032 Emerald City + stickers

I was searching for this polish for so long, and then... When you least expect it... When I didn't have money with me... HERE IT IS! Of course... Fortunately I had change in the car, A LOT of change, so, when I came back to the store, I looked like a little girl who had broken her piggy bank! X°D

● REVLON - 032 - EMERALD CITY

This polish dries matte, with a suede finish. Usually I like very much this effect, but this time I decided to add the top coat to get a glossy result. In this way you can see better the subtle shimmer into this formula, especially in the sunlight.

● STICKERS

I don't know the brand of these decals: a friend of mine gave this gift to me but I know she bought them from Mary Nail Shop. Thank you Tammy! *^__^*
