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 - Raven Red

I have yet another nail of the day post today. This time it is Raven Red by Revlon, and this is also a great color for the fall and winter time. It's a deep red color, so it's not very original but it's nice to have a color (or a few) like this in your nail polish collection.


These photos have been taken under natural light and I applied 2 coats of the nail polish. It's very creamy and it doesn't chip easy (at least that's my experience).

ps: I'm not having a lot of posts up because I had photos ready in one of my memory cards and I lost it, so I have to retake them and I'm busy with college and everything, but I'm catching up so there will be more posts up soon :)

New in | American Flag sequin top

I didn't get that many clothes (at all) while I was in the states, but I did get one thing that I really like and I wanted to share with all of you. It is from Victoria's Secret; well, from their Pink line/section/whatever that is.  Unfortunately I got it after July 4th so I didn't get to wear it that day, but that's alright.


As you can see, red, silver and blue sequin make the american flag. I thought this was really cute and had to get it, plus this is the only size they had left and it was my size (that hardly ever happens so I took it as a sign haha).

Here's a closer look:


Would you ever wear something like this?

Nail of the day #3

Today, I'm wearing what looks like a normal red from the distance; but if you look closely, you see that it actually has sparkles in it. It's glitter but not the chunky one, this nail polish has very small glitter inside it, but it's not only glitter (what I mean by this is that it gives color just like a normal nail polish).

It's a NYX nail polish in the color "heart". Here's a picture:


It's taken indoors, but close to a  window (that's why there's so much light). I was going to take another one in natural light outdoors, but today it's a very sunny day where I live and it was too bright to even show a close color to the real one. 
The picture I just showed you still looks a little bright; but just so you can get a closer thought about what it looks like, the color on the bottle is the right one.


This one looks better (closer to real color) but since I wasn't happy with these, I took this other picture, in which you can see the color and the glitter:


Hope you liked it :)
