Nail of the day - Gold and red

It's almost December and that means Christmas is around the corner, so I wanted to do something festive with my nails. I'm not good at nail art, so I thought I'd just do an accent nail.

I chose Essie's Headmistress and OPI's Goldeneye (from the James Bond collection) for that one accent nail, this is what it looks like:

I applied 2 coats of each nail polish. As you can see, the Essie one is completely opaque but the OPI one could have used another coat because it's a glitter nail polish on a clear base (although it's thicker than most glitter polishes)

I really like the combination of these two colors and I think it's perfect for the holidays.

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 :)

Weekly photos #2

Another week has gone by. I didn't do much because I'm mostly at college and all that boring stuff, but I got a few things to tell you and show you:

1. I love chocolate and I got pretty excited when I saw my father bought some Kit Kat for me and my sister.
2. My sister likes to bake every once in a while and this time she made cupcakes. I wanted them with frosting, but she just did the hard sugar coat on top, which is also delicious.
3. I order that mockingjay pin from Amazon and let me tell you, I'm in love with it. I'm a huge Hunger Games fan, so this was something that I needed to have.
4. I did not plan it, but my nails (Pink Friday by OPI) matched the lip design on my sweater...and I was happy about it. Pink is my favorite color, by the way :)

5. That's another picture of my nails; like I said, it's Pink Friday by OPI, which is my all time favorite nail polish.
6. Finally, The Hunger Games came out in Spain, and I went to see it right away. I bought my tickets 2 weeks in advance because I did not want to miss it. There's no need to say it was amazing!! Although they made up some stuff that was not in the book, I really liked it.
7. That's the "famous" clock tower in Madrid. It's famous here because it's where we celebrate new year's eve, but you probably haven't heard of it. It's close to the movie theater I went, so I took a picture to show it to all of you.
8. That's me when I received the mockingjay pin. You can tell I was pretty excited about it LOL

I hope you all had a great week :)

March 2012 Favorites!

It's been a while since I've done my monthly favorites but that's just because I didn't think I really had anything new or interesting to show. I'm gonna do my beauty, nail polish, music, iPhone app and random favorites this month; so it's more than just a few products.

BEAUTY:

1. Elf Stipple Brush which I've been using to apply blush.
2. NYX blush in "Peach". I don't know why it's called peach, but it's just a very light pink that looks great if you're pale like me.
3. MAC eyeshadow in "snow season"
4. Maybelline super stay 24h foundation in "cameo". I've been having some acne problems this month and this has helped me cover them. I really like this foundation.

NAIL POLISH:

1. Make An Entrance by China Glaze. (You can see it on this nail of the day post)
2. I Lily Love You by OPI (I've used it for an accent nail while wearing make an entrance)
3. Pink Friday by OPI. This is probably my favorite pink shade of all time.


MUSIC:
1. Part of me - Katy Perry

2. Rumour has it - Adele

IPHONE APP:
1. Wunderlist: I'm a list freak. I make lists for everything in my life: books I want to read, movies I want to watch, nail polishes I want to buy, college assignments, posts I want to write, songs I want to listen to that have been recommended to me...and it goes on and on. This app is really great and it keeps everything well organized.

RANDOM:
1. Sketching: I'm not gonna lie, I'm not good at drawing, at all; but I sometimes have ideas in my mind of dresses and outfits and I'm starting to learn how to draw figures a little bit better. I'm watching tutorials online and all that so I can draw something decent. Here are two of my sketches.

Nail of the day #1 - Purple Glitter Nails

I'm currently loving glitter nail polishes and 2 weeks ago (sort of) I bought OPI's "I Lily Love You" which is a thick glitter nail polish (meaning that it actually has glitter chunks) with a pink/purple base to it.

Since the color is not very opaque I had to paint my nails with another nail polish before applying the glitter one.

As a base, I used Kiko's 330; which is a light violet color:

And here's the final look after I applied the OPI nail polish:
