Nail art │ Pastel Christmans nail design [26GNAI]
Hello, sweeties. Happy Friday! Only a few hours left to Christmas and, as every Friday, I have a new nail art design for you. Today is the 6th nail art prompt for the "26 Great nail Art Ideas" Challenge, and the theme is Pastel Christmas.

Nail art │ Design inspired by Holiday Movie: Silent Night [Nail Crazies Unite]
Hello sweeties! For the third appointment of the Nail Crazies Unite Challenge we ought to seek inspiration for our nail designs in a Holiday movie. Honestly, I was at lost. I haven't watched a Holiday movie since I was a kid and even those, don't seem to inspire me a lot. So, I decided to take inspiration on my favourite Christmas carol which is "Silent night" (that also happen to be the title of more than one Holiday Movie!)
Makeup │Look in gunmetal grey and duochromed green [Monday Shadow Challenge]
(Défilez vers le bas pour le français / Visita aquí mi artículo en español)
Hello,sweeties! Bonjour! How are you today?
Can you believe November is almost over? Where did this year go?! It seemed like yesterday I was writing about my new years (lack of) resolutions for 2016, and nowI'm already getting ready for 2017!!
Well, enough of small talk, let's get into makeup. Today my makeup is totally "off topic", why? because I failed to use the right colour for the challenge 😞. In fact the prompt for this week was "Vert de gris" which I had no idea what colour was supposed to be. I was going to skip this appointment, but at the last minute I decided to prepare a look anyway. I used Goolge Translate (WHY?!) who told me vert de gris was "green grey". I still had no idea what colour that was, but lacking the time for a proper research I just grabbed some grey and duochrome green and slapped it on my face!

Makeup │ A Dusty Rose, by any other name… [Monday Shadow Challenge]
(Défilez vers le bas pour le français / Visita aquí mi artículo en español)
Hello Sweeties! Bonjour! How are you ?
It is unusual of me to be writing on a Saturday and even more to be showing a makeup look that should have gone live for the Monday Shadow Challenge two weeks ago! But I had done this makeup in Dusty Rose shade, I thought it was a very "me" look and I wanted to share it with you anyway.

Nail art│Nebula nails
It's been a while since my last post, exactly twelve days, which is pretty long after writing almost daily for the past 7 months. I was really needing a break from blogging and this time was totally unplanned and unexpected but it surely did me good. We all got ill after Halloween and I fell behind with a bunch of stuff I was supposed to do and I didn't feel I had enough energy to do everything and the blog.
But you know I can't be long far from this blog and from you! Today I'm trying to catch up with yesterday's nail art prompt for the "26 Great nail Art Ideas" Challenge. Keep reading after the jump!

(Défilez vers le bas pour le français)
The long wait is over! Happy Halloween sweeties!
My children have played the whole weekend with the halloween masks and costumes, they've already had major fun, so this evening we will go out for candy. There is not much people celebrating Halloween in Switzerland, so I keep fingers crossed they won't be disappointed and we can find at least one or two houses that will actually answer the doorbell.

Today, as every Friday is time for some nail art :) We are already counting the hours to Halloween, so the ladies of the "26 Great Nail Art Ideas Challenge" thought to challenge us to create a Halloween manicure with "the wrong colours"!!

Skincare │ New L'oréal Revitalift Filler [HA] to Revolumize Your Skin
Seriously, I feel young inside.
I'm eager to do new things all the time. Always thinking what's the latest? I don't feel at all 36, I feel more like 26. I believe the sparkle in my eyes shows my true age at heart. Unfortunately, my skin doesn't quite agree with my feelings. My skin does not follow my spirits, but she has this annoying tendency to obey to nature and gravity. I do not want to hide my age or pretend to be younger, I want my skin to show how my inner-self feels: young!
After all, I'm not 86, I'm 36, there are lots of things I can do for my skin. Treating my skin to fine cosmetics is definitely one very important thing to look my best. So when I heard Coolbrandz was looking for people to test the new skincare range Revitalift Filler HA by L'oréal Paris, I immediately jumped in (head first). I was so excited to learn I was chosen among so many applicants that I started using the range right away. You know I like to do things right, so I tested this range for 4 full weeks, now I am ready to give you my honest opinion with an in-depth review!!
Makeup │ Pistachio green & gold look [Monday Shadow Challenge]

I can't say anything for now, but things are being cooked ;) Before that, I have two surprises for this week, that I hope you will like , so I can't say anything either, aaargh! but what I can tell you guys, is that it's about a little thank you to the BIG support you give me, I'm very excited about it!
Enough about that, let's get into makeup! This week we are munching pistachios!

(Défilez vers le bas pour le français)
Hello sweeties! How are you today?
Today is the first appointment of a new Makeup challenged I've recently joined called "Art & Freak Show". This is a monthly challenge with a prompt for artistry or SFX makeup.

The prompt for October is "Clowns", mine has been done with the makeup products I use everyday.
Makeup │Fall look in Marsala [Monday Shadow Challenge]
Hello Sweeties! How are you today?
Today my boy re-starts school after three weeks of "Autumn-break", so we are going back to normal schedules, at least until Christmas Holidays. That means I will get a little more time for blogging properly again. I don't know if you have noticed I haven't been answering comments or reading a lot of other blogs lately (hangs head in shame). I apologize and I will try to catch up with those comments soon!
As every Monday, I have a new makeup look to share with you using the colour chosen for Monday Shadow Challenge. This week we are dipping into Marsala!

Makeup │ Fall Makeup Look featuring Chanel Le Rouge n°1 collection

Yes, yes, I might be an educated consumer, but when I see the double C launching a new Collection, well, I fall for it over and over! Although I managed to go through the Summer (and the summer sale) without splurging in any high end LE collection, I just couldn't resist the New Chanel Le Rouge n°1 Collection for Fall. I got two items and I prepared a look featuring them! Want to see more?

Today is a very, very special day, because Today Polished Polyglot turns 4!! I can hardly believe how much has gone by these four years, how many people I have got to known, to exchange with and even to meet personally!! I started this blog as a simple personal diary for keeping track of my manicures and my nail polish collection and it grew, slowly but steadily in an almost full time occupation. I am so greatful to all of you my lovely readers who are always there for me, even when I have gone through hard personal moments and absent from the blog, you were always nearworrying for me. I will never forget it and I want so much to THANK YOU!! I would love to reward each one of you, unfortunately, it is not actually possible so, I will be having during the whole month of October and part of November a series of Giveaways in collaboration with some brands and stores to show you guys my appreciation! There is already a contest going on, so be sure to check the link at the very end of this post!
Now, the reason why you came here today, of course, MAKEUP! What else? Today's Monday Shadow Challenge proposes a strange colour full of history: the colour "Pourpre". If you are scratching your head in wonder (as I did), please keep reading to find out about this colour!

Korean beauty │ Tony Moly Peach Anti-aging Hand Cream
What the say is true, the hands are the first to sell out your age!! We dab all sorts of lotions and potions on our faces, but are we taking good care of our hands? Not that I try to hide my age, but I take a lot of closeup pictures of my hands and as I do not use photoshop as other nail bloggers do, I want my skin to look great and appealing as possible.
So, here I am, with yet another product from a Korean brand specially developped for hands: Tony Moly Peach Antiage Hand cream. I was sold when I saw the packaging, right? how could this be any cuter! But, of course, Does what is inside leave up to the expectations? Keep reading to find out what I think after using this hand cream!
till the last drop : Products I've finished in September [mini Reviews]
Hello, my lovelies!
It's been a while since I wrote one of these posts where I share with you the products I've used until the very last drop. I know several among you especially like this kind of mini reviews as they show a more insightful opinion of the product having it used for quite a long time and not just a couple of days or weeks. Here are the products I finish in September, they are not a lot because I have been testing quite a few items for the blog and nothing ever seems to finish! LOL
Let's have a closer look.
Skincare │ Daily Concepts® in my shower!
Hello sweeties!
Today I am very excited because in a few more hours I'll be on a plane with my family heading for a week of fun, good food and, I hope, relax (?). I do take time periodically to relax my body, but it is very difficult for me to put my brain in a chillin' mode. Even when I am supposed to be chillin' my brain doesn't stop, I'm always thinking new ideas, new ways to see old ideas, or if I happen to have a problem I can't stop thinking of ways of sorting things out... My hubby says "you think too much"! May be I do...
For sure I do!
So it seemed super funny to me to discover this brand of shower and body care accessories called "Daily Concepts" whose moto is "Individuals who think (and sing in the shower)". It's such a perfect fit, haha! If you are looking for original solutions for your daily body care, keep reading!

Hello sweeties! I hope you are having a great weekend, I'm having a great one, already counting the hours for our next vacation, which are starting on Tuesday! yay!!
talking of vacation... it was about time that I finished showing you what I shopped for during my summer vacation in Italy!
I know, I'm so late! But I was hoping to have the time to style these garments and do a proper fashion photo shooting. Alas, that didn't happen because I have been stressing around the clock since we came back. But this post will not be totally irrelevant, because most of the items I got are perfect for this period, transitioning from Summer to Fall. By this gorgeous sunny weather we are having in Switzerland! Starting by the beautiful Missoni Sunglasses ♥ ♥ ♥
Shall we look at the rest of the things I got?

Hello Sweeties!! Happy Friday!
As I told you earlier this week, next week we'll take a few days off to enjoy a family vacation, so this weekend I might be taking a close look to the weather forecast (weather is so changing lately) so I can properly pack. I will probably end up overpacking..right? but I do that regardless of the weather conditions since I have children! What will you be up to this weekend?
Now, I'm quite sad to introduce the VERY LAST appointment of the 40 Great Nail art Ideas Challenge. OH no!! I can't believe I've created 52 nail arts for this challenge and one whole year just went by like that, but yes, that's the case. The prompt this last week is "earth tones".

If everything goes as expected, we'll be leaving next week for a very short vacation, trying to make up for our not so great summer vacation last July (if you're curious why they weren't great, check here). But don't worry, because I already have a few posts prepared for you during my absence!.

Nail art │Autumn inspired manicure to welcome the season
I might have said it 2 million times already, but I love Fall. I love this season in a particular way, it's mainly because of the colours, the stylish yet cozy outfits, boots, scarves, JACKETS (my favourite piece of clothing are jackets, which are yours?) and of course, landscape colours. There is something magical about walking in the woods while the trees chenge from green to virtually every shade between orange to gold. I find it poetical, inspiring and it really boosts my creativity!
Ok, I could talk about Autumn for ages, but the point today is that the "40 Great Nail Art Ideas Challenge" has chosen "Autumn" as today inspiration for nail art, so I have a new manicure to share with you!
Makeup │ Exagerate. Purple, pink & Dolce & Gabbana.
Suddenly I realized I never showed you this Dolce & Gabbana quad my hubby got me last Fall! It was limited edition, but as I'm trying to shop my stash more and buy less makeup, I thought it would be a good idea to use this stange-beautiful palette for a Makeup look!
Personal │ My Youtube beauty Gurus! Which are yours?
Hello, sweeties! Happy Hump Day!
Today there is a different kind of blog post than usual. A few weeks ago I decided it would be cool to share with you my favorites bloggers and youtubers, spread the love, and why not have your feedback about the favourite of yours! When I started going through the list of blogs I'm subscribed to... it was overwhelming! If you take a look at my bloglovin account, you'll know I read a lot of blogs. A LOT! I am still working on trying to cut down my top list, but there are so many blogs I love for different reasons that the task became extremely hard. I also watch a few Youtube videos and Vlogs, but not as many, so that was much easier! I am "only" subscribed to 30 something Youtube channels, and that gave me the right place where to start!
Today I'll talk you through my "beauty roots", you'll find who are the people who taught me (and still teach me) most of what I know about makeup, how to do makeup, Ladies and gents, these are my Youtube beauty gurus!
Nail art │Designs for short nails: geometric shapes
Some of my friends always tell me "I wish I could do the same designs on my nails, but my nails are so short!". Are your short nails an excuse for not doing nail art? It shouldn't be!
As I've told you before, my summer vacation was harsh on my long nails and none of them survived. I had made several nail art designs while my nails were really short and shared them with you (you can check them all here). My nails have grown long and strong again since then (let me know if you want me to write on how I help them grow back fast!) but I still have a couple of designs especially thought for short nails to show you!
Makeup │Pinker than pink, bonbon pink [Monday Shadow Challenge]
(Défilez vers le bas pour le français)
Hello, there! Bonjour!
How have you started the week? I'm slowly getting into the Fall mood, planning to change my wardrobe and all. But first! one more summery makeup look, a very, very sweet one!
The Monday Shadow Challenge proposes today the girliest shade there is: candy pink (or rose bonbon). Shall we take a closer look?
