This weekend I'm wearing the gorgeous Make It Golden by Essence over the lovely nude Iced Latte. I think these two are perfect together and each on it's own. I really love these little cute bottles of Essence nail polish (I wish they were bigger tho) and I already got few of them in my Essence collection :)

I was really amazed with Make It Golden because it looks gorgeous on the nails, the hexagons are in perfect size for me (you know they are so many Hex polishes and some can be really over sized) and I adore it's golden shimmer. I think it can upgrade every nail polish that you will use as a base with it. I can't wait to try it over other colors I have!

Iced Latte was also a good surprise. I was looking for a nice nude color that will be opaque in two coats, and this one did a great job! I really love the color (it's kind of a pink toned beige) and I think it goes nicely with my light shin tone.

I used two coats of Essence Nude Glam Iced Latte and one coat of Make It Golden, then topped it all with Seche Vite top coat for extra shine and long wear.

Zoya Jem is a gorgeous purple plum color with golden shimmer or I caould even say these look like tiny golden flakes. This is my first Zoya nail polish, I received it in a swap I did with lovely Oli from France along with some other gorgeous nail polish she sent me.

It's defiantly a gorgeous color and I just love how sparkly it is in the sun.

This is two coats of Zoya Jem and one coat of Seche Vite top coat.

This was my first time at the Beauty City event, and I have to say I wasn't planning on going but I changed my mind in the last few days - and I'm glad I did!

This is such a great event that I think every woman and girl should attend at least once. I was really surprised to see how big and impressing this event was. I didn't really know what to expect, and I was amazed to discover that this event had a busy schedule with lots of lectures, demonstrations from different makeup artists, few runway fashion shows and many more interesting events.

I spent there few hours with my cousin, enjoyed some shopping for really good prices, but I didn't buy much cosmetics as I expected I would. I'm not a big spender when it comes to expensive brands so the lowered prices at the event didn't managed to tempt. There were many brand such as Lancome, Clinique, Rimmel, Revlon, Estee Lauder, Loreal, Bourjois, Essie, Pupa and more, and of course some local brands as well.

I did purchased few things that I liked for nice prices, and I was surprise it didn't sum up to a high total so I was happy.

I went there mostly for the experience and not for a crazy shopping spree, basically because I have everything I need for now. But then again, I would defiantly recommend you to go there next year if you haven't been in this kind of an event. I had fun there more that I expected and I believe I will go there next year as well. :)

This weekend I couldn't decide what nail polish to use, because I had so many new additions, but I finally wend with the Skinfood Purple Stone I just got in the mail few days ago.

Purple Stone is a dark shimmery purple with some blue and red shimmer, and it's just spectacular in the sun light.

I took these pictures one day after applying it, after some dish washing, so the edges are a bit worn off and it shows, but I think that's just something you can't prevent with such a dark color.

Overall this color is pretty and I really love how it looks in the sun light. 

I think a clear top coat is a must in this case because it brings out the colors and it looks great with it.

I don't know why it is that everything I cut my nails short, I have the urge to apply a dark color, but that's just the way t is - and Purple Stone did a great job for me this time :)

Today I had four new additions to my collection.

First is the Skinfood Purple Stone I got in the mail. I purchased it on eBay and was really curious about it's color. I'm happy I got it at last and I actually like it! It's a deep dark shimmery purple with some blue and red shimmer that almost looks tiny glitters but they are shimmer. It was opaque in two coats.

Skinfood is a Korean brand and this is my second nail polish from this brand.

The second part of the haul is the Mini Colorama. I've purchased three of them today for a great price, but I didn't have much selection so I think I ended up with one color that I have already in my collection from another brand.

From left to right - 56 Coral Rose, 94 Ultra Violet, 135 Tart.

Coral Rose is a lovely peachy color with golden shimmer. It's really sheer so I needed to apply 3 thick coats. I think it would be lovely over peachy creme color as well and will need less coats.

Ultra Violet is actually pink in my eyes. It's creamy and has no shimmer to it. Needed 2 coats. It's a lovely color but I already have something really close to it.

Tart is a gorgeous purple plum color. It has a great shimmery look. almost metallic. It is very thick and I could have used only one coat, but I added the second for a richer color. 

Hello ladies!

This weekend I felt like wearing something bright and fun on my nails, and I also wanted to use the Q1 Konad dupe plate I received a while ago, so I thought it would be fun to make this combination.

I used this gorgeous fuchsia color by GADE - Fashion Fuchsia #384 and stamped over it with WnW black creme. These black lightning bolts really pop out on this color.

I simply adore the designs on this plate! For a cheap dupe this plate is pretty neat! I really love it and can't wait to use it again.
