Nail of the day - Live and let die

I recently got 2 nail polishes from OPI's James Bond collection and this is one of them. It's called Live And Let Die (since all of them have names from the movies) and I'd describe it as a dark base, which I see as a mixture of navy, green and grey, with tons of fine green and gold glitter.


and, you know what's amazing about it? ...I only applied ONE coat of the nail polish!! It's crazy how creamy and opaque this nail polish is. Obviously, it starts chipping earlier if you only do 1 coat, but still, it has lasted around 4 days perfectly.


Did you get any nail polishes from this James Bond collection? Did you like them? Let me know :)

My trip to London | Part 3

I'm now wondering how many of these posts I'm going to have because I took a lot of pictures and want to show you the best ones, but still, there are so many!
Anyway, I'm going to continue by showing you my photos from M&M's World.

This next one is sooo me haha



I'm going to include pictures from Regent's Park here just because I don't really know where to put them and I don't want to bore you with a separate post about it.

Coming up: Harry Potter studio tour, Buckingham Palace, Portobello Road, Sherlock Holmes museum

Nail of the day - Mojito Madness

As you can guess from the title, today I'm showing you "Mojito madness" by Essie, which is a color that came out in their 2012 summer collection.

You can get this color at beauty.com here, at Target here or at Nordstrom here.
I'm not usually a person who goes for out-there colors, but I think this green is fun for summer and it's always nice to change it up a little bit.

Nail of the day - Golden Olive

This nail polish is from Kiko but as you can see it looks a lot like Chanel's Peridot. Overall, I think this is a great dupe of you don't want to spend a lot of money on this color, and since I don't think I'm going to wear it that often, I couldn't justify paying 25€ for it.

This is number 395 from Kiko and since it's from the duo-chrome line it was a little more expensive than their regular nail polishes, but still it was 3.5€.

Natural sunlight, 2 coats
Indoors, 2 coats
This is a pretty close color even though I think Chanel's might be a little more on the green side, what do you think?

Nail of the day - Minty green

As promised on my last outfit of the day post, here's the nail polish I was wearing that day. It is the number 345 from the brand Kiko. I don't think this brand is available outside of Europe but I might be wrong; and also I don't know if you can get it all over Europe. I know you can find Kiko stores in Italy, UK, Spain, France, Portugal and there might be some other countries, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, I'm loving pastel colors and mint is one of my favorites. I own a few nail polishes that have this kind of tone, but a lot of people (around 8 really) have asked me about this one while I was wearing it.


Another good thing about Kiko is that it's really cheap. Their nail polishes retail for 2.50€ and it took me 2 coats to be completely opaque. I really like them.

Slide on, glide on by NYX

I bought 3 of the new Slide On, Glide On eyeliners by NYX and I have to admit that I'm in love.


They claim to be smooth, and they are; you don't need to press them against your skin for them to show up prefectly. They're also very creamy (which helps to slide) and very pigmented.
It also says they're waterproof. I have to be honest and tell you that I bought them thinking that they were going to be easy to remove; but when I tried to remove the swatches from my arm I realized that they were actually waterproof and I had to apply a lot of pressure with make up remover wipes for them to go away.


Here are some swatches in artificial (first picture) and natural light (second picture):

Colors: glitzy gold, jet black, tropical green

Colors: glitzy gold, jet black, tropical green

Conclusion: I recommend them to all of you and they have a lot of different colors that you can get. If I buy some more in the future, I'll do another post to show them to all of you.

Thank you for reading! :)
