2 NOTDs and lipstick!

 OPI Planks alot, is what i had last week. A nice grayish purple, i needed two coats(as always). :)

 Mavala Nail Color Pearl in Hong Kong, one of my all time favorite/most used polishes, and i looooove it! As the name says and the picture shows, it has beautiful pearl finish, and the color is a nice coral/pinkypeach.
I'm sorry for not having nicely polished nails, cause I'm one of the "i have polished my nails, let's put a sweater on" -girls, and that's why the tips are ugly and my sweater has coral dots in it...

I like to have my little finger either polished with a different color, or having more glitter in it. Now, i have Lumene Natural Codes Salty Splash on it, and it's a silvery baby blue color, very sheer, but looks like that after 2-3 coats. Can be used also on top of a blue polish for adding more glitter.

Tried my sisters berry/pinky red matte Lumene lipstick and i liked the color, because i don't like normal red lipstick on my lips, but the ones with more of pink in them i like very much! :) What do you think?

NOTD: OPI Austin-tatious Turquoise

As Julia has done several of these Nail Of The Days, I felt that I should step up and do one, seeing that I do change my nail polish at least once a week. :)

I got super excited when I saw that OPI had just launched their Texas collection right before I went to visit the states!! This polish was definitely on my shopping list, but I ended just getting the mini version of it with a few other Texas polishes.

The color is a beautiful blue-green with some very fine duo-chrome glitter that gives this polish that extra something.

Unfortunately, as gorgeous as this color is, you need 3-4 coats of it to get an opaque finish. I tend to do that with a lot of my polishes even if they don't need it, but I know it can bother some people.

I use the pronails Seco-Seco topcoat. It literally dries the polish to touch in no time!

The most heavenly hand cream!!

NOTD: Models Own Baby Blues and newbies!

NOTD: Models Own, Baby Blues.

Hate the smell, love the color! :) Only two coats is enough (for me)! I like these baby blue/minty green colors because they make your hands look a bit more tanned that they really are = Great summer color!

Newbies: Klover Vaseline, Chanel travel kit, tweezers, Gosh powder brush

I like this brush soo much! It's very soft, stiff enough and great with blusher too!

My new lip balm..... Maija has this everywhere she goes, so i had to get it! And it really works: it's moisturizing and makes your lips very soft.

Just normal tweezers, nothing exciting...

I'm in love! Found this from my mums closet and stole it! There's 4 eyeshadows(all shimmery, a vanilla white, taupe/chocolate brown, light pearly pink with blue undertones and a baby pink), two lip glosses(a light pink and a rosy/plummy red with a lot of shimmer), two lipsticks(peach/coral and a pinky red) and a shimmery rose blush.

These brushes came with the kit. :)

Xmas2011 favs!

So, here are my favorite christmas(beauty)presents! :)

 From left: Lush shower gel/shampoo in Snowfairy, Yankee Christmas Eve candle, MAC blush in Pinch o Peach

 I've been using this everyday! My first MAC blush, and in love! The color is a light pink with blue undertones, and great for a fair skin!

This one's in everyday use too... I'm obsessed with it, and after shower I keep smelling myself every minute! Oh, and the scent is bubblegummy!

I haven't had the guts to burn this yet, cause I love the scent so bad! It's on my nightstand, and I just love falling asleep to the smell of it!

What were your favorite presents? :)
