 swatch: 02 enchanted by hint of mint and  03 mauve-llous fairy on nails

Well, this story begins with me entering the drugstore looking for a certain black nail polish and ending up with four additional products in my hands. I have to admit, this happens more often than it should...

I'm talking about the new Essence Hidden Stories series. It's enchanting pastels initially caught my eye and let me just stare at them for good five minutes. All of the products are just too pretty. So I had to decide what to buy. Among other things I took two of the nail polishes. Each of the polishes provides a different special effect. I went for the frosted and the sparkling one.

The first one is a really fancy mint coloured polish, which is supposed to look frosted on your nails. Enchanted by hint of mint wasn't that easy to apply. It's quite thick consistency makes it look like some kind of mash at first. But as it dries, the little chunks become more and more obvious. And there we have a pretty, slightly shimmery frosted look. I promise, it's way nicer in real life than it is in the picture above. ;)

The second nail polish I chose is called mauve-llous fairy. It's a very subtle, sheen lilac, which doesn't provide as much coverage as the mint nail polish. When applied to your nails it's very smooth. Unlike other glitter polishes, the glitter is very small and actually reminds me of fairy dust.



Let me know what you think of them!


Thank you for reading!

Have a nice day!

lovelydeadcrap: a close-up of a limp hydrangea with snow on it

I've discovered this exciting new (at least to me) tag on instagram, where people take close-ups of limp flowers and plants. Well, rereading that sentence, this doesn't sound exciting at all. But it actually is fascinating.
So all these pictures are tagged #lovelydeadcrap, which might sound macabre at first. The term just reflects the fact that it's all about the beauty of dead plants. ...that doesn't sound any better. XD
But if you take a look at these pieces of art, you'll experience the fascinating magic that's called nature in a wonderful and very different way. If you already know about it, then lucky you. You're one of those, who cherish the simple things in life. And that's desirable.

To give credit to all these photographers and pictures I've loved to see on this social media site, I've decided to upload a simple nail art tutorial.




What do you think about these pictures?

Thank you for reading!
Have a nice day!
