International Giweaway - Glam Polish


If you follow me on Facebook I gave the information Monday that I hoped for great news this week. I got the news: I was accepted on the Pedagogue education. If you don't know what it means to be a pedagogue (i think it is a Danish therm), Wikipedia describes it well hereBut I will be educated to be the grown up responsible person in a kindergarden or a nursery.

This is the third education I begin and I hope to finish this one as well. I think I finally found a realistic destiny for me.


Besides that I tuned up the blog with a new header and background. Now it looks more fresh and summery :)


But on to the giveaway!

 


The prize of this giveaway is Glam Polish "Another Galaxy"

The winner will be one person from anywhere in the world Rafflecopter picks on the 21th og August at 12 AM.




 

Of cause I would like to get more followers, so I bid you to share this giveaway with all your friends <3 <3 <3


Love and sweets - and thank you very much for following and the feedback<3

Swatch: Glam Polish - Beyond Belief

Hi girls

I wanted to show you Glam Polish "Beyond Belief" today.
Its a very different polish. It's a light pink base with two small and one big size blueish-magenta glitter and two sizes and a ugly light Shrek green glitter. I hate that green color but here it is okay, because it is different and not too much in your face ugly.
But the coverage could have been much better, and its almost too glitter dense so it does not make sence to give it 3-4 coats... so that's why I chose to use OPI "Lucky Lucky Lavender" as underwear for this design. I got two coats of Beyond Belief over it just to add depth. In this way the polish don't give any problems, it levels out great and it does dry.


And then I did a very simple stunned bear on the accent nail.
Why? because the polish is beyond belief.... so the bear is there to illustrate that. You can see it is so surprised it says a big "wooooaaaawww" :D haha

Fancy Friday: Girly


Today the theme is girly. I think I normally do a lot of girly designs so this should have been a lot more easy for me to do, but of cause I was not in the mood for the pink girly manis:P I have gotten a little tan (a very rare sign on my Scandinavian porcelain skin), so right now I take advantage of the fact that I right now look great with coral and orange polishes I normally never wear.


Hope you like it though:)

Swatch Wednesday: Kiko nr. 494

When I showed my Florence haul some of the girls wanted me to post pictures of this particular polish whenever I got to try it out. I had that time today and the polish I will show is Kiko nr 494.

This polish is stunning. it is a purple-ish burgundy color. In some light it looks more or less purple and more or less burgundy, but it is pretty in all the ways.
What makes this special is the cold pink shimmer. And finally a polish with a strong shimmer (and still charming and easy to apply). This takes 2-3 coats depending on how you put it on and how anal you are about the coverage. I used three just to be sure all the way except for the ring finger where I have two thick coats on.
These pictures are without topcoat.

Returned from Florenze/Tuscany + haul

Hi girls!

Two weeks passed, and they passed too quick if you ask me. When the plane took off and I saw the last mountains I had a few tears rolling down my cheeks. I always cry when I leave Italy, this is forth time... I am too emotional, I know.

Here is a biiig collage of the trip:

Swatch Monday: Polish Me Silly New Neon Glitters


Today I have 6 of the newest Neon Glitter polishes Polish Me Silly (aka former Lush Lacquer) released. I bought mine at their Etsy page as they now finally have international shipping again<3.


I did own the "Clowning Around" matte neon glitter polish, but as I am a silly little girl, I sold it after getting these. Not because there are any similarities, "Clowning Around is much more bright, but the new glitters are kind of like pastel neons. And as I am a true pastel lover I could never see myselv use Clowning Around again after getting these, they fulfill my need for neon glitter.

I also find these a little more dense with glitter and more easy to apply.


The polishes i purshased is: "Girl Code", "Pillow Talk", "Over The Rainbow", "Dream Maker", "Sweet Nothings" and "Trouble Maker"


The most swatches on the web have been over white... obviously that is a clean and uninfluenced way to do it, but I wanted to show you how I would use these glitters instead and therefore my swatches is over colors that match but still enhance. I hope you will like it :)

Fancy Friday: Stamping


Today for Fancy Friday I wanted to try using my OPI Sheer tints to colors a stamping design - this technique is called leadlight technique. I have seen it done some times and it offers so many pastel possibilities that my heart almost flows over. Besides that I think this was pretty easy to do.

Here is my design of the day:
