Polish Days February: Aurora Borealis

Hey everyone!
Всем привет!

I know I'm a bit late for the Polish Days of February, but we're still allowed to submit our manis even 2 days after the deadline, and I'm taking advantage of that this time :3 I'm extremely sorry for my current nail shape, but they were breaking like crazy when I was in Finland, which resulted into those uneven nubs (since my nail beds are of different length, my nubs are like that, too). 
Знаю, что немного припозднилась со своим маникюром для Polish Days февраля, но маникюры можно добавлять в галерею и в течение 2 дней после дедлайна, так что в этом месяце я этой возможностью пользуюсь :) Я дико извиняюсь за состояние формы своих ногтей, но они катастрофически ломались, когда  я была в Финляндии, что и вылилось в...это. С длиной ничего не могу поделать пока: поскольку ложа ногтей у меня разной длины, то и коротышки под корень тоже этим страдают. 

As the theme of Polish Days February was Back To Nature, I drew inspiration from a natural phenomenon I wanted to see badly in Finland, but didn't get to, because, apparently, there were no magnet storms going on at the time. I'm talking about Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. To recreate the look of it on my nails, I started with 2 coats of a dark blue cream base (China Glaze Calypso Blue) and water marbled with Orly It's Not Rocket Science, Orly Galaxy Girl and Revlon Grape Fizz (that actually smells like the grape chewing gum I love). 
Темой Polish Days февраля было "возвращение к природе", и я решила повторить на ногтях то, что хотела увидеть в Финляндии, но не сложилось с магнитными потоками, видимо :) Это я про северное сияние. Чтобы воссоздать что-то похожее в маникюре, в качестве базы я нанесла 2 слоя темно-синего лака (China Glaze Calypso Blue), а сверху сотворила water marbling из Orly It's Not Rocket Science, Orly Galaxy Girl и Revlon Grape Fizz (который и правда пахнет моей любимой виноградной жвачкой).

The Lazy 15! Dots

Hey everyone!
Всем привет!

Today we're doing manicures involving dots! I've been wanting to do a manicure that would match my blog design for a while now, and my background happens to be dotty, so I didn't think long today :)
Тема сегодняшнего дня в Lazy 15! challenge - точки. Я, ко всему прочему, давно хотела сделать маникюр, который сочетался бы с дизайном моего блога, так что тут долго думать не пришлось :)

For this manicure I used:
Список использованных средств:
-Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Himalayan Blue - 2 coats (2 слоя)
-Revlon Sunshine Sparkle - dotted each dots twice (проходилась по одной точке 2 раза) 
-a dotter доттер

I'm quite fond of this manicure, it's very girl-ish, and I like how the colors work together, but the blue doesn't quite match the actual blue of my backgroud. I should have picked something dustier and green-leaning.
В целом, я довольна маникюром, но если бы я его переделывала, то подобрала бы другой синий лак, поскольку этот не совсем точно отображает тот синий, что я использую на фоне. Лак должен быть более припыленным и иметь больше зелени в пигменте.

Malta haul or nail polish in Malta!

Hi everyone, here i am back from Malta!

Before leaving i raped Google, and the only thing it would tell me is that i would't have any nail polish shopping there. 'Okay', i thought, 'then i'll just order nail polish online when i'm back'. I'll still order it, i'm in love with the new Zoyas and OPIs, and i'll be sure to pick up a couple of Essies, as well. However, i did bring some nail polish with me from that paradise on Earth :)

So, nail polish in Malta:




Gabrini ? (номер содрался вместе со скотчем, которым я заматывала лаки в дорогу), 322, 356

Beauty UK 62 Street Rose, 75 Smokey Lilac, 70 Plum, 38 Burgundy

 Layla Magneffect 07 Metallic Sky, 06 Golden Nugget, Ceramic Effect 13

Essence Ticket To The Show & Front Row Or Backstage?, Naj-Oleari 71 (it's glitter, but it's MATTE so i suspect...SUEDE ^____^)

Prestige NLW – 67 Orangerie, 70 Thaiti

 Revlon Facets Of Fuchsia, Radiance, Grape Fizz

 Givenchy (supposedly, since i couldn't find either of them online, but they might as well be just old :D) Baby Vernis 52, Vernis Brilliant Couture 603 Corail Empire

Max Factor Fantasy Fire x2, Odyssey Blue 
(YES, FREAKING 2 FANTASY FIRE BOTTLES! *NAILGASM*)

Where to find nail polish:
1. Franks and other beauty shops chains
2. Pharmacies, both chain and individual. Those sometimes carry real jems!
3. Anywhere. I bought my Beauty UK, Gabrini and Essence ones at a shop in Valetta called Pushka that actually carries clothes, not cosmetics (still, they had those displays, and i couldn't miss the opportunity :D)
All in all i'm very satisfied with my purchase. I really didn't expect to buy any, and i returned with FANTASY FIRE (yes, i have to capslock :D)

Oh, also i picked up my nail mail - 3 OPI Suedes & Mermaid's Tears! I'm almost in nail polish nirvana :D
