Color Club Cast A Spell Mini Collection

Halloween is just around the corner! (OK not really, but still!) I love Halloween. I love eating candy corn and I just love Halloween! I can't wait to do my Halloween manis! Got so many ideas thanks to other bloggers! But for now I have Color Club's Cast A Spell Mini collection.




Hocus Pocus is a semi-sheer base with holographic glitters. This was done in 3 coats


Spellbound is a bright neon orange creme. VERY bright


Charmed I'm Sure is a blurple shimmer. It's more purple in real life, but we all know the cases of cameras.


Bewitching is a black creme. Fully opaque in one coat. Sounds like a good polish to use for konads!

The formulas were nice. It was just a little hard for me to use since I have long fingers, and the tiny little bottle cap was hard for me to hold. Other than that no complaints!

And that is all I have for today!

Misa Um You're Too Delicious

Hi all!

Since it's the World Cup and all, I'm trying out my orange polishes to see if there is one suitable for a manicure when The Nederlands will be playing. This time: Misa Um You're Too Delicious, which was part of my swap with Linda :)

Um You're Too Delicious orange neonUm You're Too Delicious Orange neonMisa Um You're Too Delicious, three coats in daylight. Um You're Too Delicious is a jellylike orange neon. I didn't even know it was possible, but it certainly looks that way! Normally neons dry matte or satin, but this one dries absolutely shiny with a jellylike finish. I like it! Please believe me when I say that this polish is WAY brighter irl.

Application was fine, but drying time was not. It took forever to dry and when I tried to stamp it, over an hour later, it still wasn't dry and I ended up taking it off because the stamping ruined my mani. Also, I suspect that this is the only Misa I own that is not B3F and that this causes the polish to smell really bad (I will check the ingredients later today to be sure). I will try her once more this week or next week, to see if it works better :)

So now I wonder: what's your favorite orange polish?

Thanks for stopping by!

Love Purple!

Yesterday Kellie did a post with China Glaze Flying Dragon and reminded me of how much I love this polish! So I ran  to make a mani with it and decorated it with some hearts :) Isn´t it just gorgeous? Hope you all have a great Friday.

ManGlaze nail art

Yesterday I had time to play with my polishes a bit more, so I tried to do a ruffian mani using Color Club Ultra Violet and ManGlaze Matte is Murder. I have never made one before, so as one could expect, it ended up as a major fail :( Well nobody is perfect. I tried to hide the imperfections with some stamping and actually like it like this a lot!


What do you think? Any tips and tricks how to do a nice ruffian are welcome :)

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy with Konad

It is raining outside and it will for another week, that sucks! I decided that I need a mani to cheer me up and the choice was Flip Flop Fantasy from the Poolside collection. This color is really so much fun, it is so positive :) Black konad looks great over these bright colors, so I went for something simple and summery. Image from plate m28. Oh and guess where China Glaze is from? Yes, California!

Color Club Warhol (Poptastic Collection 2010)

Another really bright neon polish for this summer. Nothing special, but if you like neon pinks like me, you will like this one too :) I have three coats and of course a clear top coat, as this dries matte.

Další výrazná neonka na letošní léto. Nic uchvacujícího a co by tady už předtím nebylo, ale jestli podobné láčky máte rádi, bude se vám líbit i tento :) Mám tři vrstvy a samozřejmě nechybí ani bezbarvý nadlak, protože zasychá matný.

China Glaze Towel Boy Toy with Konad

Towel Boy Toy is my favourite from the newly released Poolside collection (my swatches here). I thought it would be fun to decorate it with some Konad. I also really wanted to try out the new Konad plates, so this is M78. I really like the way it looks like :)

Towel Boy Toy je mým oblíbencem z nové Poolside kolekce (fotky celé kolekce zde). Napadlo mě ozdobit ho razítkováním, hlavně už jsem chtěla vyzkoušet nové destičky. Použila jsem tedy M78. Výsledek je super, moc se mi líbí :)
