Polished Polyglot

Hello my dears! How was your weekend?

Today I have a short review on  nail art Circular Flat Studs (NNAIL-DRN672) sent to me by KKCenterHK for my honest unbiased review.

Hello my dear readers! How is your weekend going? Any nice plans? 

Today I have a "crazy" item to share with you. This is the brightest mascara ever and it's not by a drugstore brand but by one of the most chic high end brands: Chanel.

Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in Limelight was issued as part of the Limited Edition Collection for this Summer, L'été Papillon.

Hello my lovelies! I hope you've spent a wonderful weekend! The post you're reading and the post that will follow the next few days have been scheduled in advance because I'm officially on vacation. That means I'll keep posting "virtually" but I won' be able to answer your comments right away (like if I ever did, lol!).

Hello my lovelies! How is your weekend going so far? I'm preparing the last things for our vacation. We're leaving tonight for the sunny Italy!! wiiiiiiiiiii! Ciao bella vita, waking up with the yummy smell of Italian coffee, walking by the Mediterranean sea eating home made ice cream! Quanto mi sei mancata bella Italia! It's been two years since we've been there. We will stay in my father in law's house, and we'll get the chance to visit all the relatives there, eating delicious food and freshly fished seafood, doing some shopping, and of course having fun at the beach with our baby! First time for him to see the sea! 

 

But enough of daydreaming, is now time for The Vintage Challenge! And today it's the turn of the "Golden oldie". I supposed that means one "All time favourite", but I'm afraid I've already shown you those elsewhere. Instead I have a really rare nail polish to share with you. This is Dior Vernis 555 Euphoric pink, which I bought in December 2005 and I have no idea of when it was released, but it's obviously no more available.

Hello again! I'm back with the second Tri-Polish manicure of this month. Today I have an attempt to a gorgeous nailart technique called "abstract brush strokes". I took inspiration from Gorgeois blog, who I think is the creator of this technique. She explains it very well in her video tutorial.

Hello there! How are you ?
Today is another "double challenge" day, Vintage Challenge schedule says GLITTAH!!!! lol

I have an "epic" glitter aka OPI Mad as a hatter. This nail polish came out in a limited edition in January 2010 as part of the Alice in Wonderland Collection. I got the mini set as soon as I could spot it, for once containing all the colours of the collection. Mad as a Hatter and Absolutely Alice were my first two glitters, so that's why I called them "epic".

Hello Lovelies! Today I'm exceptionally doing 2 challenges! So right now I'm presenting you my choice for the wonderful Vintage Challenge. Tuesday is for a red polish, and I have a very fabulous red, my hubby's favourite,YSL La laque n°144 Rouge désir, from the Limited edition "Love Collection". I got this one in December 2007, so I guess it could have been a collection for the holidays, but I couldn't swear for that.

Hi lovelies! How is your weekend going so far? Mine is just great, putting all together to prepare our Holidays! Yay, can't wait!
So, today post will be quick as a lightening, just to let you know I have discovered a very good prouct I'm in love with. It's St. Tropez Gradual tan firming 4 in 1. I got this in full size as a complimentary gift for my purchase on the site feelunique.com (where I bought Dior Nude tan BB cream, another absolute hit I'll show you soon). At first I thought "what will I do with this?", let me tell you I'm so glad I tried it. It's the first time I use self-tan product (I have used once fake tan but is not the same). This is a cream that you apply all over the body, everyday after shower (and eventually after scrubbing or exfoliating) with circular motions and it does nothing right away. But after few hours the magic begins! My skin looks glowing, it's mosturized and looks like I've spent some healthy time outdoors (which I haven't), and it IS A LOT FIRMER. So yay! for that, finally a thing that does what it claims.
I think I'm going to adopt this every summer and start using it a little before every summer holidays to have my skin ready. In fact, this product has an amazing esteem-booster effect! 

That was that for today. What do you think about this? Have you ever needed self-tan or fake tan? Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Love you!

Today I have some Born pretty store 3D nail stickers, item ID 6229 that I've received from them for my honest review, and it's been a while I should have posted this, but you know how busy I've been lately, so my apologies.

I like stickers option for nail decoration for several reasons: they're foolproof, you I can't get them "wrong", they are the fastest nail art I know, they can revamp a mani in seconds making it look totally renewed, or even hide some chipping before going out in a rush looking flawless.

Hi my lovelies! How are you doing? Today is Argentina's Independence day memorial, today we commemorate 197 years since the signing of the Independence Act to stop being a Spanish Colony. So this is a non working day in Argentina, but not in Switzerland! :( Well, I did not have time to do a theme manicure, but I'm doing some delicious Argentinian food, name "empanadas criollas", so that's something! After sharing this little of info with you, let's get into makeup!

This is an eye look made with a product I've recently purchased from Chanel, it's Stylo Eyeshadow #37 Jade Shore, from the Summer Collection 2013 L'été papillon. Let me tell you, this is a great product! It is a cream eyeshadow in a stick.
