Essie - Resort Collection Swatches

Hellooo! :)
I don't know if one finger counts as swatches but I know that these bottles are extremely small to swatch them as a full hand swatch. Lots of other bloggers already swatched it and passed to different collections but it is not so easy to get your hands on a polish in Turkey. Most of the brand polishes are expensive and they are not easily found. So consider this post as a stash swatch, not a new collection swatch. (I said "swatch" a LOT!) I also got Smooth Sailing while I was buying this collection so it is included in this post too.

Thumb: Smooth Sailing - 2 coats

Index: No More Film - 1 coat

Middle: She's Picture Perfect - 2 or 3 coats

Ring: Pink-A-Boo - 3 or 4 coats

Pinky: Sure Shot - 2 coats

With flash

 I liked all of these but if I had to choose my favorites, I would say Pink-A-Boo and She's Picture Perfect. They have tiny shimmers in them which made them my favorites in the first place. As for formula, worst one was Pink-A-Boo but I handled the situation pretty calmly since I loved the color.

Which ones did you like the most? Comment below and let me know if you'd like to see other stash swatches. :)

Essie - Watermelon

Hi! Today I have a pretty, pretty, a really pretty polish to show. Although my favorite color is pink, it is a little bit out of my comfort zone to wear on my nails. This polish wears fantastically, is a creme finish and so easy to put on. Definitely a must have pink for me! :)

Hope you liked it!

Tribal Nails

Hello there! Today, I have a manicure that I wanted to try for a long time and had chance to do a couple of months ago. I believe almost every nail artist (is there such a term?) done tribal nails at least once in their life. It was quite a challenge for me, all those stripes and dots took longer time than they normally should have, but the end result was worth it. 

 I wore this mani for a couple of days before taking pictures of it, so ignore the wearing on the tips.

The base color, purple, is Pastel 309. The rest is painted with acrylic paints and brushes.
Hopefully, you'll enjoy it as much as I did! :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to the greatest things alive in this world! Whether they are mother-to-be's, a girl without a mom and has to take care of the family, a single mom, or even a dad that needs to play the roles of both father and mother, you all are special and we really need you in our lifes. If you are lucky enough to have your family, know that once they are gone, you won't be able to do anything to get them back. 

Enough with the emotional talk, this is a picture of mommy's and my hands. Since this is a nail blog, I thought it would be the best way to celebrate this day. :)

Mommy is wearing China Glaze - Ruby Pumps, and I am wearing butter London - Disco Biscuit. NOTD of it will come in a few days.

Hope you had a wonderful day with the ones you value the most! :)

Day 6 - Santa + Christmas Tree + Ralphie

And finally a wrap on this challenge! Santa on my thumb is from Simply Rins' Santa and Rudolf Nail Art . Do I need to mention that I love her designs? I mean you can easily understand that from my posts. The bell was inspired by someone's nail art but I just can't remember whose. I'm sorry, let me know if you know who. And Rudolf is also by Rins, which got featured in one of my previous posts.

 My favorite was Santa, and to be honest, this design is not my favorite so far.

 And here is my right hand. This polish is the gorgeous Going Incognito - Essie. :)

 Hooray for loooots of presents. :)

And this is my horrible Ralphie, I failed this so bad, I didn't even want to post this, but to give you proof, here it is.

Again, all of these designs were made with acrylic paints, free-handed. Hope you'll like it. :)

Day 3 - Gift Wrapping and Rudolf the Reindeer

This week we set our Christmas tree (though we don't celebrate Christmas, it is for New Year's Eve), and I felt like the time for gifts is getting closer! YAY! So I decided to have gift wrappings on my nails and remembered that Simply Rins had a reindeer design and a tutorial. Therefore, I had to have a Rudolf too. Here is this weekend's nails. :)

 My index finger turned out really complicated, I didn't like it.

 I thought that my thumb turned out the prettiest, I liked it a lot. :)

And here is my right hand, I didn't want to try so hard on it so I just painted them like shiny wrappings' colors. :)

 Here is our tree and my gifts. :) Hopefully, there will be lots of gifts right where my fingers are in the left top photo. :)

 Yes, this is my extremely pink room and computer, I decided to make a difference this week and took a picture of the polishes I used.

I used Essie - Watermelon and Pastel - 31 for my thumb, Pastel - 52 and Sephora - 51/Leather Boots for index, Pastel - 74 for middle finger, Flormar's white and acrylic paints for ring finger, Pastel - 37 for pinky, plus Flormar Nail Art white and gold and Flormar - 003 on top on all of them.

I hope you'll like it. :)
