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!

Have a nice day!
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?

Finally it's this time of the year, when I get the chance to restock my drawer full of sweets and not getting blamed for me wishing for a whole load of chocolate. It's not that I have a problem with me stuffing myself with tiny bits of deliciousness, I'm really enjoying every bite. I can store one package for months and eat it slowly bit by bit.
But I'm not here to spill out all my craziness on you... Let's talk about my newest findings, which are two of the latest Lindt chocolate bars. Their series of HELLO chocolate bars is dedicated to young chocolate lovers and provides a bunch of classic treats mixed into milk chocolate. I personally found the Strawberry Cheesecake one to be my favourite.
So I've bought two of their newest HELLOs, SALTED Caramel and Sweet POPCORN. Maybe you've read my Review on the Lindt Creation bar, which I had excpected very much from and got me so little... So I wasn't as enthusiastic about these two.
Let's start with Sweet POPCORN. This chocolate stick provides solide pieces of chocolate with just tiny bits of popcorn. The popcorn bits are really crunchy and blend well into the chocolate as you let it melt in your mouth. It tastes delicious, but not spectacular. I'm not quite sure if I would repurchase, because it's a bit too pricey.
So let's move on to SALTED Caramel. This one surprised me a lot. As I took a first bite, the caramel started to nearly float towards me. I wouldn't really describe it as creamy. It's more on the liquid side. And that's a biiiiig plus! The salty taste is just right for this chocolate-caramel mixture. I can definitely say that this is one of my favourite chocolate bars so far.
What's your favourite Christmas treat?

Have a nice day!
