..get your freak on! 15 weird facts about me...

Hello lovelies :)

I am completely out of ideas of beauty or fashion posts, so today I decided to share with you 15 weird facts about me. A few weeks ago I wrote about my plans for summer and that post inspired me to share more personal information about me. I still don't want to get into details about my life, but I consider the Get your freak on! tag for a very funny one and harmless one, which does not penetrate into very deep layers of ones private life.

So without further ado, let's hop right in :)

1. What's a nickname only your family calls you?

To be honest, I don't have a nickname. I've never had one as my name is too rare for this area, there are only a few "Karin" named persons here and people often get confused with my name, instead of "Karin" they call me "Katarína" what is equivalent for English Katherine. It really pisses me off!

2. What is a weird habit of yours?

I have too many weird habits, I am such a freak.
But my biggest weird habit is that before I leave my place, I have to tidy up my room, I can't leave until it's not fully tidy, every item should be returned to it's own place, the bed must be prepared and so on.

3. Do you have any weird phobias?

Yes I do, I am deathly afraid of thunderstorms.


4. What's a song you secretly love to blast and belt out when you're alone?

Haha,such an easy question- it must be Beyoncé's Schoolin' Life and End of Time

5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves?

There are tons of pet peeves I have - but among the biggest ones are if someone chews chewing gum very loudly, if someone leaves the sink dirty and if someone stand very closely to me 

6. What's one of your nervous habits?

This is such a nasty habit, but I have to confess that when I am nervous I start to scratch the skin around my nails, I try to give up this bad habit, but sometimes I catch myself doing it. You may imagine how awful my fingers look like....gross! :-/

7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?

It depends on whether I am at home or in Bratislava. At home I usually sleep on the right side of the bed, but in Bratislava I have a giant bed and I fill up the whole space sleeping right in the middle of the bed.

8. What was your first stuffed animal & it's name?

I had many stuffed animals, but there is a precious one for me. It is a pink teddy bear I got from my father when I was 2 years old, since then I sleep with it every night even till today. Funny is that I haven't actually named it, it still remained "teddy bear" :)

9. What's the drink you always order at Starbucks?

We don't have Starbucks in our country, so this question is illegitimate to ask me.

10. What's the beauty rule you preach...but never actually practice?

Clean your brushes! I am so lazy in this, I know I have to clean my brushes, but I kinda forget it and get to it very rarely... bleeh, disgusting, isn't it?!

11. Which way do you face in the shower?

Hmm, my face always faces the shower head 

12. Do you have any weird body skills?

Nooo, but I desperately wish I had one :D 

13. What's your favourite "comfort food"/food that's bad but you love to eat?

I love McDonald's, french fries, chips and everything sweet

14. What's a phrase or exclamation you always say?
There are some, but unfortunately they can't be translated to English. Some of them are kinda embrassing, so it's better that they can't be translated into English.

15. Time to sleep - what are you actually wearing?

Depending on season, but the PJ's are always having a childish ornament on them, I like all the Disney characters, for example this time I am wearing PJ's with the Eeyore from Winnie-the-Pooh


Hahaha, I think this was enough weirdness for today :D

I am planning to start new series on my blog, but you will find out soon, all I can say that it is going to be weekly bloggin' on a specific theme.

Until then...

Kisses,

Carina...

...shoes+accessories haul...

Hello lovelies :)

Last weekend I've been shopping in Budapest for sandals, but unfortunately I haven't found any I liked so I ended up buying gewgaws such as belts, earrings and handbags. 
I've been in need for white and nude sandals, so after my unsuccessful shopping trip for sandals, I've decided to order two pairs from a Slovak webshop.
The package arrived yesterday and I am soo happy :)
It's a pity that I'll have to wait a few days till I'll be able to wear them, because in the last two days the weather went all wrong. It looks more like mid-autumn time than beginning of summer and the forecast says this weather will last till the beginning of the next week.

Anyways, next week I am going finally back to Bratislava. Since I've done my exams I've been staying at home, but somehow there's not much stuff to do, so I am looking forward staying in Bratislava very much.
A few days ago I've mentioned that I would like to study lingua italiano during this summer so I enrolled to a course, which will last whole July. 
Wohooo, can't wait until its beginning on Monday! :)

But back to my post, as you might have guessed, I would like to show you my little bits and pieces from haul.
Let's hop right in! 

I have to confess that I hate wearing belts, I wear them only when I really have to, somehow I don't feel comfortable wearing them. Even though I know that they liven up every outfit and are very stylish, somehow I can't handle them.
Unfortunately, my body is in constant losing/gaining weight so belts are very useful piece for me. 
I've been shopping in H&M and I saw a package of 3 belts for only 5€, I couldn't resist buying them because they came in beautiful colours, I've also noticed the braided one which I would get a lot of use of.

Then I went past Claire's, I don't know whether you are familiar with this shop but in general it sells accesorries. They have great deals all the time like "buy 3 pay 2" and stuff like that. This time they had this deal on earrings. I was soo lucky, because I went in to buy hoop earrings. I wear hoops mainly during summer, in my opinion they fit me very well, but I didn't have any because my old ones broke a few weeks ago and I wasn't able to find any in shops in my town. So I went into Claire's and bought 2 pairs - one bigger and one smaller (I am usually very hesitant when I like two things, I am simply not able to decide which one to get so often I end up getting both - that's why I have 2 same shirts,dresses, etc. in different colours).

And as I mentioned, they had this deal so I ended up getting these long, edgy, gold earrings with spikes too.
So I ended up having 3 earring for price of 2. Such a great deal, isn't it? :)

While shopping in Claire's I've noticed this chunky necklace, I couldn't resist buying it. I don't own a lot of necklaces, but I think I will wear this all the time.

After buying jewelerry, I've decided to take a look on handbags. I was lacking a simple clutch bag and a more casual cross-body bag. I was lucky enough to be able to buy both.

I've bought this white envelope clutch with silver metal application. It has also a strap which is tucked inside the bag. I've been craving for a bag like this very long time and finally I got my hands on it.

I've also bought a brownish cross-body bag. I will use it mainly during summertime walks, going to the pool and doing casual activities. The biggest advantage of this bag is that it can be worn with casual outfits, but you can also combine it with more put together ones.

And last but not least....my new shoes :)

I've ordered them from this site, they have a lot of nice stuff. Go check it out! :)

As I've mentioned I have ordered a nude and a white pair.

These white sandals are brutal! They have a killer heal, but the platform in the front saves the day, even though I will have to wear them with gel pads and wear them on special occasion when I won't be walking for a long time a.k.a going everywhere with my little car. They are more on the classy side, but in my opinion they would be great with jeans aswell.

The nude ones are more on the everyday shoes side, these types of heels are the most comfortable ones for me. I am sure I've mentioned that I am a heels kinda girl. I never wear flats, only when I really have to. All the ballet shoes and flat sandals give me freaking blisters. Heels definitely are made for me!
So maybe they look dangerous, don't be afraid, I am most comfortable in these! :D

How did you like my haul? :)
What were the items you brought for yourself recently?

I hope you enjoyed my haul! 

Have a nice weekend!
I am actually going to a family celebration, you may imagine how "excited" I am :-/ haha...

So that's all for today :)

Kisses,

Carina... 

...summer is here...

Hello lovelies :)

Summer is finally here!

I am usually not that type of person who enjoys warm weather, but this year I am totally glad that summer came just on time.

On Sunday was the first time I was sunbathing and having fun in a swimming pool, I had such a blast there!

Throughout the spring time I have collected a lot of summer clothing and I enjoy that I am able to combine them and create very different outfits every day.

Unfortunately, I've been lacking sandals. I am not saying I don't have anything to wear because I have tons of summer shoes, but I've been missing white and nude sandals from my shoe rack. But today, my order came, it contained two very beautiful sandals - one in white and second in nude colours. But I am definitely not lacking any clothing pieces from my wardrobe.

Today I would like to show you my all-time favourite summer pieces, things, which I love to wear the most throughout summer time and really get a lot of use out of them.
Let's begin :)


1. Maxi dresses

I own at least 9 of them, these are my all-time favourite summer pieces. I love the airy material they are made of and also that you only have to put on a dress and liven it up with some jewellery and the perfect outfit is born.

(my favourite dress, photo taken last year in Barcelona)

2. Dresses

When it happens to be freaking hot, around 33° degress and higher, I usually go for shorter dresses. In the summer I prefer wearing one-piece clothes, because I find it easier to combine with jewellery and I don't have to make great efforts to wear nice outfits. I love very different styles of dresses and these are my favourite:

(photo taken last year, way before I had my hair done)

3. Pants

Throughout the summer I prefer wearing mainly pants, not that I don't like skirts but I find it more comfortable to have pants on than a skirt.

I wear either long and short pants, one of my favourite piece are these very long colourful pants made of airy material (left on the first photo), they are one of my recent purchases but since then I wore them approx. 5 - 6 times. And also love shorter jeans pants, but when I want to dress more up I choose these black polka dot high-waisted ones (right on the second photo).

That is all for my favourite summer pieces, I also have a lot of shirts, T-shirts, blouses, tank tops, etc. but I can't choose my favourite ones and also some of them are very simple pieces to be easy to combine.

I left out summer shoes as I am planning a post on my summer shoes collection.

To sum it up, the displayed pieces are my very favourite. If you see me during the summer, you'll probably see me in one of these pieces :)

What are your favourite summer clothes?

Do you prefer dresses or pants/skirts with T-shirts?

Please leave a comment in the comment section, I appreciate it!

Until the next post...

...spring favourites - lip products...

Hello lovelies :)

As promised today I will be showing you those lip products, which were my favourites throughout the whole spring time.
Even though the temperatures outside are showing that summer is finally here, it is still officially spring time in my country. The beggining of the summer is "scheduled" on 21st of June so I am still in time to show you some of my spring favourites. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it and didn't introduced you my other spring product/fashion favourites, I hope that my summer favourites will be more succesful attempt. 

So I have chosen 5 lip products, which I've been using very frequently during spring time, and there are some  which I am sure I will continue using during summer. 
So these are my top 5:

(haha,those mouth shapes are hilarious, I've been kissing the paper on my desk so it didn't turn out flattering)

1. Avon Brilliance in Frost Berry

I looove berry colour lipsticks, they are my all time favourites and this one with shimmers in it became my most used lipstick. I have similiar nail polish and used to combine those two together. It doesn't dry out the lips, applies were evenly and lasts satisfactory amount of time.
Unfortunately I find it too dark for summer time so I am leaving it in my lipstick drawer to rest, but I am sure I will return to it in autumn.

2. Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate in 05 My Real Pink

I don't know why is this shade called My Real Pink when it has a reddish undertone, but that's the way I like it :) I don't like very pink lipsticks, I prefer those which move on the scale of fuchsia or red. This lipstick is very pigmented and lasts approx. 4 - 5 hours. Unfortunately, I have lips which tend to get very dry and this listick definitely dries out my lips, so I would recommend using lip balm before application.

3. Rimmel Hydra Renew in 150 Piccadilly Pink

You might see that Rimmel prodcuts are my favourite :) But I can't help myself, in my opinion Rimmel is one (if not THE) best brand available in the drugstores. This shade is more pinkish than the previous one, its colour is more settled not as pigmented as the previous one, but still very lasting.
Both of the lipsticks have sheen finish, but this looks more "fresh" on the lips. I use it on days, when I don't want to drag great attention.

4. Maybelline Color Sensational in 108 Pink Pearl

I bought this lipstick when I was on hunt for perfect nude lipstick (actually I still didn't find the best one, any suggestions?). It has a kind of frosty finish, my lips almost look like white, but you have this pearl finish to them.
I can't say this lipstick lasts as long as the Rimmel ones, I wish it had and also it is quite hard to apply :(
You need to play with it until you can say it is applied evenly.
The only reason why I love it so much is its colour, but it was enough to become one of my favourites :D

5. MaxFactor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Stick in 55 Mysterious Hazel

This products is something between lipstick and lip gloss. It has a lasting effect as lipsticks, but it is glossy like lip glosses. I love it for being easily applicable and long lasting. The colour is very settled and glossy.
But you have to shape with a sharpener, so makes a lot of mess when taking care of this products and also it misdeems very fast.


So this concludes my favourite spring lip products.

Which were your favourite lip products for this years spring season? :)

Share with me your thought, I appreciate it!

Kisses,

Carina...

...I'm back...

Hello lovelies :)

I've been quiet for a while, exactly for a month, but I had examination period and didn't have enough time to pay attention to other thing than school.

Meanwhile, I was thinking about some posts, which would be enjoyable for me to write and for you to read and I have some good ideas. 
I am planning to post the Colours of the Rainbow tag, which is currently very popular among the YouTubers and also I have planned a post on my favourite spring lipsticks. 
I am so happy because I have finished all of my exams and now have time to read, relax, party and to spend more time on things I like the most.Today I would like to tell you a little more about my plans, so you can consider this post to be a personal one and of course very different than the posts I've posted before. I hope you will enjoy reading it!

I have decided to lose some weight - to be exact I would like to get rid of my excess 3 kilos.
Last year this time I had 55 kilos, I've been working very hard on achieving the "ideal" weight of mine, but actually I wasn't that happy with it. I had a very bad relationship, a partner who forced me to change almost everything on myself and when I said goodbye to him, everything somehow lightened up. I had so much better mood and finally started to pay attention to myself and love myself. Of course, I have started to put on some weight, but it didn't bother me that much.
Now I'm not telling you that I am overweight, I have 60 kg, but I feel that I need a little bit of excercise to get in shape for summer. I would like to lose 3 kg, which is not that much, so I am sure in 2 weeks time it could be possible, if not I won't be mad about it :)
I will be doin' zumba, the only excercise which does not bore me to death and also it is effective for me.

I was a big fan of healthy eating, but the last few month and the winter made to do everything else than to eat healthy. So with the beggining of the summer I am planning to get back to healthy eating. I am somewhere halfway, even though I put down eating sweets I still have days when I can't resist eating a Pink Magnum, which is currently my favourite treat. But I noticed lately, that my lunches and dinners consist of vegetables, less bread and fat foods. It won't be a hard plan to fulfill. I am also thinking of making posts on the foods I am eating as I love to cook, what do you think? :)

(I've got the image for here)

My long-time dream is to learn to speak Italian, so I will take a great step and enroll to an Italian language course in Bratislava. I am looking forward to it and hope that I will learn at least how to introduce myself in Italian :D

(image from this site)

So these are my 3 biggest plans for summer, I would like to fulfill them all but we will see in September whether I was succesful :) Until then I will try to improve my bloggin' and post more posts!

See you until next one!

Kisses,

Carina...

...my favourite youtube beauty gurus...

Hello dear readers :)

I am pretty sure that most of those who enjoy reading beauty blogs also enjoy watching YT videos of various beauty gurus. My passion for this "world" comes from watching YT beauty tutorials. When I first saw a beauty video I was quite amazed. I didn't know that something like that exists and there are numerous girls who are involved in doing YT videos. Since then I developed great relationship for YT, most of my free time (when I really have nothing to do) I spend watching youtube videos, learning new stuff on beauty products, application of make-up, fashion related information, etc.
There are some girls, who are the biggest inspiration of mine and I would like to introduce them to you even though I am quite sure you have seen one of their videos.

1. Dulce Candy
She is the first beauty guru I have ever seen. I came through her videos when I was trying to create a nice smoky eye, but couldn't manage to achieve the effect I wanted. 
Since then I am so happy when a new video of hers appears in my subscription box. She does numerous make up tutorials, but I also love her outfits of the day because she has so many good ideas on combining different styles. 




2. Fleur de Force
I adore Fleur because she knows a lot about skin care and has very useful skin care product suggestions. I enjoy watching her nail tutorials and outfits of the day. I appreciate that she shows also more accessible products not only those high-end products. I enjoy watching her vlogs too :)




3. itsjudytime
I've started to watch Judy's videos only recently, but instantly fell in love with them. She does many first impression videos and her opinions are very honest that is the thing which I appreciate the most. 
She also does hair tutorials, me being very bad at doing my hair they come to me very useful because I've learned some tricks from her. I watch her daily vlogs too :)



4. Nicole Guerriero
Nicole does many amazing make-up tutorials. I completely adore her for creativeness and I am a little jelly-jelly for her skills :P She also has some useful DIY videos and hair tutorials.



I am also subscribed to other beauty gurus, but these four are my all time favourites and biggest inspirations.

Which beauty gurus are your favourite ones? :)
Are you as much obsessed with YT as I am? 

Leave me a comment! I would appreciate it so much!

Kisses,

Carina...

...mint+pink...

Well, hello lovelies :)

I haven't done a make-up tutorial related post in a while, so yesterday I decided to take some pics of my look and create a post. It was a nice spring day and I wanted to wear only bright colours - that's why I went for mint jeans, plain white shirt and nude heels+handbag. As it came to me too pale, I decided to add more colour on my eyes and as I had berry pink nails I went for pink eye make - up too. :)

So this is my yesterday's look:

( again sorry for crappy pics, I still don't have my cam )

... and face:

For creating this look I've used quite a lot products, but I had to make it long lasting because I knew that I will be running errands until late evening:

So let's go through the products step by step :)

1.as the first step I've applied Bioderma Sébium Mat anti-shine cream gel - this stuff is absolutely amazing, my T - zone was completly matt whole day, I've noticed that on imperfections and dryer spots it started to flake off, but I think it is mostly because of the BB cream, under foundation it would stay much longer

2. then I've applied Bourjois 8 in 1 BB cream (23 Beige Rose), more about this BB cream here

3. the next step were applying of the concealers, in my nose area I use Make Up Factory's concealer, to cover under-eye circles and blemished the Concealer Palette by Catrice Cosmetics and to highlight my under-eye Rimmel's Match Perfection Skin Tone Adapting Concealer in 030 Classic Beige

4. then I had to prime my eyelids to make my shadows last longer, I used Pupa Smoothing and Fixing Eye Primer

5. to make my "face" last longer, I fixed everything with Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder in 004 Sandstorm, as a blush I used Rimmel Match Perfection Blush in 003 Medium and also applied a little highlighter on my cheekbones,nose and chin by Catrice

6. I've started doing my eye make - up with L'oreal Contour Khol in 131 Jet Black (applied it to my upper lash line), for lower lash line Catrice Kohl Kajal in 040 White to brighten my eyes

7. the as a base eye shadow I applied colour no. 1 from Avon's Mega Impact Duo in Berry Electric

for highlighting my brow bone I used colour no. 3 from Pupa Pupart Eye Shadow Palette and also from the same palette colour no. 2 for my crease

8. I filled in my eyebrows with Essence Eyebrow Stylist Set and Essence Lash&Brow Gel

9. as long as eyeliner I used Artdeco Long Lasting Liquid Liner in 01 and for mascara L'oreal False Lash Wings and Pupa Vamp!

10. ...and last but not least, for lips I use this amazing lip pencil - Max Factor Colour Elixir in 55 Mysterious Hazel

I loved this look even though it is very simple, but it is very wearable :) 

How do you like it? :)

And what about mint jeans, do you enjoy wearing bright colour pants?

Leave me a comment!

...new hair...

Hello lovelies :)

This is just a very quick post - I wanted to share with you my new hair, which actually isn't that new as I had it done last monday, but still I wanted to show it to you!
Here it is :)

Do you like it? :)
Please share with me your opinion...

Kisses,

...Bioderma haul...

Hello lovelies :)

I've been having some hectic days and weeks so I didn't have time to go to the stores and buy some pleasureable stuff for myself. I haven't bought a single beauty item in more than a month and that's unbelievable.
Yesterday I was forced to go the pharmacy because I ran out of my Bioderma micelle solution. I had to go to the pharmacy not to a regular drugstore because Bioderma is sold in our country only in pharmacies as it is claimed to be "medical" skin care.
I found out that they sell a big variety of Bioderma products, so I took a better look on them and purchased also two other items, here they are:

As you might see, every product is from their Sébium line, which is for combination or oily skin with inclination to breakouts. My skin can be considered as combination, mainly on chin, forehead and  nose I have more oily skin (it isn't that bad,but still) and other parts are normal - not oily but also not dry.
I have tried only the micelle solution and I am completely in love with it, so I've decided it is time to try also other Bioderma products.



1. Bioderma Sébium H2O Micelle solution for combitation or oily skin

I don't use it as make-up remover, but after I have cleaned my face, I go through it with a cotton pad with this solution on it. Since I've been using it I noticed that I have less breakouts and small zits as I used to have. Also black spots (mainly on my forehead) have disapeared and if I have some I can get easily rid of them.
The quality of my skin is much better since I am using it, it is definitely my life-saver ;)

older picture, but the same product

2. Bioderma Sébium Mat anti-shine cream gel

Since spring began I started to fight with a problem called "shiny skin". Even if I wear matifying powder I can't control my skin every single hour whether it is in good condition or my powder need retouch.
So I decided to buy this little product because it is supposed to matify, treat all the causes of shiny skin, regulate the sebum secrection, improve skin texture, etc. It can be used as a primer under foundation and it is supposed to lenghten the wear of make-up.
It has very light scent and also the texture is very light, not heavy but still not watery. It comes in an 40 ml tube. 

3.  Sébium Pore Refiner - a concentrate for dilated pores

I few days ago I've noticed that I have so big pores on my forehead and cheeks, I does not irritate me normally, but I've noticed it after I've put on foundation. It was so ugly, but couldn't do anything just bear it.
This little product is supposed to refine the skin, close the pores and make them less noticeable. On the official site it is stated that it melts instantly to skin. I am so curious whether it will help to solve my problem.
It has almost unnoticeable scent, very light gel texture and comes in a 30 ml tube.

I just can't wait to try these products. Tomorrow I will definitely use the pore refiner so check out whether there is an update ;)
I can't promise I will do a review on these products, because reviewing skin care products comes to me silly, because everybody has very unique skin and each skin needs different treatment - what may be good to me, it is not 100% that the same product will work on another person.
But check out the Bioderma site maybe you will find some goodies :)

Wishing you a nice rest of the week!

See you soon!

...Bourjois Paris 8 in 1 BB Cream...

Well, hello lovelies :)

Today I am going to review BB Cream by Bourjois Paris. Since there is over 20 degrees of Celzius, I am using BB creams, because they are much more lighter than foundation. If I use foundation when it is hot outside, I always get breakouts and clogged pores. So I switched my favourite foundation for this BB cream. 
I have tried a lot of BB creams of different brands, so I can say that this one belongs to the "better" ones.
I am going to review it another way than I am used to, it is supposed to have 8 functions so I am going to comment on each of them and in the end sum up my impressions: 

1. perfecting - I wouldn't say it hides perfectly blemishes, because it has very light and creamy structure, you'll definitely need to use more concealer than the amount you use on blemishes if you have foundation.
But it is natural as BB creams aren't supposed to provide full coverage :) 
If you don't have any blemishes, this BB cream really perfects your skin, evens out all the discolourations and dark spots.

2. smoothing - I can definitely say it smoothens the skin, leaving a very matt finish

3. targeted correction - see perfecting, I would not say it corrects that much

4. anti - fatigue - definitely agree :) 
after application the skin lightens up, this BB cream gives it such a healthy glow

5. anti - aging - can't prove or deny,hehe...but if it acts so, I am very grateful :D

6. anti - shine - this BB cream definitely has some anti - shine effects, but only for approximately half a day. Unfortunately, it gets worn off easily mainly on the more oily areas (in my case on the forehead, nose and chin) so after a certain amount of time I noticed that my skin looks oily as if I haven't applied anything.
You can't wear it whole day without touching it up throughout the day.

7. long-lasting hydratation - after winter I had some dry patches on my nose and cheeks and since I am using this BB cream, they have disappeared 

8. SPF 20 - I am so thankful it has SPF, because I am very bad in putting on sunscreen - I always forget it...

Pros:

1. packaging and texture
2. the finish on the skin
3. nice,fresh scent
4. SPF 20
5. lightens up the skin

Cons:

1. available only in 4 colours, which are more dark so suitable for women with darker skin tone
2. price - approx. 16€, for me it is ok for BB cream, but drugstore BB creams are much more cheaper
3. doesn't last all day

(my baby in 23 Rose Beige)

So overall, I am very satisfied with this product. I loooove its packaging, it is so elegant, comes with a mirror and a little sponge. I also love the light, creamy texture, which can be applied so easily without putting a lot of effort it blends so easily. As I've mentioned, leaves very matt finish and not that awkward dewy look.
I definitely don't regret buying this product and I am sure I will re - purchase it again! :)

That's all for today :)

Wishing you a nice weekend!

Kisses,
Carina...

...spring favourites - nail polish...

Hello lovelies :)

It is soo crazy, I've been waiting for spring for such a long time and it is finally here, but it looks more summer-y here - it is so - so hot!
Two weeks ago, I've been wearing a coat and boots and now I can walk outside only in a T-shirt.
Spring brought smile on my face. The sun is shining, birds are singing, the air smells of spring and I am longing for colours :) I had enough of grey and those "unhappy" colours even though I wear a lot of black now, I have kinda lust for black clothing, but trying to use nail polish, lipstick, etc. in bright colours to add a little contrast.

Today I would like to show you my top 5 spring nail polishes. 
I paint my nails every other day and my biggest issue is to choose the colour I want to wear, when I can't decide I always go for one of these:

1. O.P.I Pink Yet Lavender 
2. Maybelline ColoRama no. 67
3. MaxFactor Glossfinity Lilac Lace
4. Avon NailwearPro + Well Being
5. Avon SpeedDry + Don't be Jaded

I never use the O.P.I polish by itself, I always put a layer of another polish as a base, it creates better effect and also the removal is much more easier. ;)
My favourite of the favourites is Maybelline ColoRama no. 67. I love to wear fuchsia all year long, but this is a very bright one with shimmers in it - perfect for spring. I also have a matching lipstick from Avon, I love to wear those two products simultaneously.
I have chosen the MaxFactor one because of its beautiful colour and long lasting. I am usually not a fan of these very bright purple colours, but it is so beautfil that I couldn't resist and bought it, I definitely don't regret this purchase. 
The nude one from Avon is a staple piece, everyone should have at least one nude nail polish in their collection. I love this kind of peachy nude.
And last, but not least Don't be Jaded is such a crazy minty colour, it matches my mint jeggings perfectly :) 
And also, could there be more spring-y colour than mint?! ;) My nail polish collection can't lack it!

I also tried to draw a hand to show you how do the nail polishes look like, decide whether it was an successful attempt ;)

So that's it for today :)

What are your favourite spring-y nail polishes? 
Are you as big fans of nail polish as I am?

Share your thoughts with me in the comments!

Wishing you a nice end of the week, remember only two days till weekend! ;)

Kisses,
