Polished Polyglot

Hey there!! How are you my sweeties?
All ready and set for Holidays celebration? I have a manicure for the 52 Weeks Nail art challenge and today's prompt is  Christmas of course!

Hello sunshines! it's me again.
The last week of November I missed the appointment with the Crumpet's Nail Tarts forthe 9th prompt of the 52 weeks Nail Art challenge. I already had the manicure and the pictures but then life happened and couldn't publish them :(
Anyways, here I am in a very cloudy Sunday morning playing catch up with my blog and so ready to show you my manicure with the theme "Cartoons and Comics", although I'm not specially proud of it :-/

So Friday it is, and there I go with another manicure for the 52 weeks challenge! The prompt for this week is Grey and colour and I've already been peeping my mates contributions and there are so many wonderful ideas you wouldn't believe it.

You know how sometimes things that didn't matter that much before suddenly become a must-have. Well, today I'll talk a little about neat cuticles. Yep, "clean cuticles" a.k.a cuticles free of any trace of nail polish, have certainly become a must-have and I though it was a good idea to write about the way I keep my cuticles clean with the Peel Off Liquid Tape from Born Pretty Store. It is very easy, and for the occasion I filmed my very first video tutorial!

Ok: it is starting to freak the heck out of me that it is Friday AGAIN! Where did this week go?? Bummer, I need to get my Christmas shopping started!!! Have you already started yours? Just thinking of it is already stressing me out. Well, let me try and chill out by enjoying a new appointment with the 52 weeks Challenge Called "40 Great Nail Art Ideas". The prompt for today is orange, purple and green and my technique code is "dotting tools". Aren't you curious to know what everyone got?

Hi sweeties! I have joined this very short and sweet challenge organised by Marta from Entre estética y cosmética blog with only 4 prompts for Halloween!

Dear all, I've just opened my laptop and went to my blog and ALL MY NAIL ART PICTURES ARE GONE!!
I do not understand what is happening. I really don't.
My nail art posts are pictures less and the pictures I have uploaded even very old posts are without pictures. I am trying to understand why, whether it is a Blogger or Google+ malfunctioning or whether I've been victim of a hack, I couldn't tell.
I know trying to get Google or Blogger to respond to any claim is useless, their service is practically non-existent. So before I go and totally panic, I'll just try to measure the damage and think about a way to repair it.
If any of you know what could have caused this or had a similar experience PLEASE help me! This is really terrible.
I will try and upload again all the pics for the most recent posts while I try to go on with my future posting schedule and as I go I'll try to keep uploading the older pictures, but it won't be easy and it will take ages!
Gosh, why am I so unlucky!! If anyone can think in a word of blogging-comfort, this is the time. I'm really upset right now.
Of course I would take any advice on how to fix this, because I'm such a noob on these matters.
I hope this will be solved soon.

Love,
Nati

PS. right now I'm so, so upset!

Hello sweeties! It's Friday (yay!) and it is time for another manicure for the 52 weeks Challenge Called "40 Great Nail Art Ideas" and the prompt for today is Teal.

It's time for a FOTD!
I did this look using this amazing 5 colours eyeshadow palette from Dior and could never sit to edit the pics and finally write the post until today. I love this shades so much I'm giving a lot of use to the quint!

Stamping, stamping stamping! I can't get enough of this technique, with so many new plates and high tech stampers and now outstanding stamping polishes like the ones from Born Pretty Store. This is a gorgeous emerald green 15ml Born Pretty Stamping Polish Green Nail Polish 18#

Hello lovelies! Before the first week of October flies away I would like to share with you my thoughts on a few products I have recently finished. Anything tickling your curiosity? keep reading after the jump!

Hello Sweeties! a week full of emotions and without blog posting for me. My parents came to pay me a visit all the way from Argentina and I've been too busy catching up with them to do anything blog related. They're leaving on Sunday :-( but I had to post because today begins a NEW NAIL ART CHALLENGE!! So exciting!

Well, you know that my unbreakable will is not so unbreakable when it comes up to Dior makeup limited editions, so I fell for Cosmopolite colection (taking profit of the current 3x2 in makeup they're  currently having at Marionnaud). So let me introduce you to the new Fluid Shadow by Dior in the shade 275 Cosmic.

You know I love a good lipstick, but in fact I'm a gloss-gal at heart. Today I'm showing you one of my favourite glosses, Guerlain Gloss d'Enfer Maxi shine Lipgloss in 468 Candy Strip, launched last spring if I'm not mistaken.

Hi again!
As you know I like to keep track of the makeup turnover and changes in the products I keep on my bag for daily makeup routine doing this monthly post. It is so fun to see how my simple everyday looks change with the seasons but simple choosing a different lipstick or blush! This month My makeup has definitely marked the end of summer and my choices have turned to more Fall like colours, without being too deep yet, but the feeling of Fall is definitely there! What do you think?

I always drool on indie nailpolish swatches because some of the colours are definitely out of this world, but I am not an indie polish collectionist (thank goodness or my wallet would have serious problems). However, I do own some really special indies and I thought it would be a good idea to share those gems with you starting today. Let me show you Muskoka sunset from the brand Wing Dust.

Hi there sweeties! How was your weekend? I am in the final countdown for the arrival of my parents to Switzerland, I am so excited!
So let's start this week with a cheerful nail art, shall we?

Hi gorgeousness! I have a LOT of new cosmetics to try lately and, very unlike me, I have more opened products than I can actually use up. Nevertheless I managed to finish some last month, so let's talk about some empty stuff!

Hello my lovelies! How was your weekend? I had a great time outdoors with my family, too bad is over :(
So as Monday-antidote(?) I got a water decal festival for you! This is  a set of ten sheets of water decals I received from Born Pretty Store and I have already used five of them in different manicures, would you like to see them?

Before the week comes to an end I have a super gorgeous shade of lipstick to share with you. Perfect for the weekend! Also perfect for Summer, for vacation, for the day or for a night out. Well, perfect, fullstop. I am so in love with it I couldn't leave it out of my lippie of the week series.

Hello my sweeties!
I have received three new items for stamping from Born Pretty Store: a Stamping nail polish and two new stamping plates. I would like to share my opinion with you.

Some are fancy, some are handy, some turn makeup application into an exquisite experience, others just get the job done. My addiction enthusiasm for makeup also include tools, and I have brushes galore: for different textures of foundation, for contouring, for bronzer, for blush, for powder and cream products, let alone the smaller brushes for eyemakeup, so on and so forth. I don't have a huge collection of brushes, or exotic brands, but I do care for mine and I thought I would share my favorite with you.

Black is a classic. There are few colors that look as chic and mysterious as a glossy black, so I'd say it is a must-have for every nailista (or nail enthusiast). OPI My Gondola or yours? is the new black OPI will launch with the Venice collection next Fall.

Busy Wednesday. My hair is a mess, my house is a hot mess. But I am wearing pink lipstick and I couldn't care less about the rest!
