Hello my Beauties,
how are you doing?
Today’s post has 3 different parts, that i’m sure you are going to like. So grab your favorite cup of tea & let’s begin.
By the end of march my Twitter friend Radi and i have decided to do a little nail polish swap. As Radi lives in Bulgaria she was kind enough to offer me some of the polishes that are being sold there & i on my part of course picked out a few german based brands for her.
You can see her post on the swap HERE. She also did a beautiful design with the KIKO Sugar matt, that was originally the idea for a swap.
Today i got the parcel from Bulgaria and obviously couldn’t wait to try some of the sparkling goodies, that i’ve found inside.
I tried my best to take a few good pictures in today’s horrible light, but the gloomy & grey weather didn’t make it easier for me. I really hope you get the idea anyways.
As you can see the “Perfect” base coat appears much more purplish in the flash light.
The Jolly Jewels polish has quite a thick consistency and is really opaque in just one coat.
In this shot the “shiny jewels” are much more noticeable & visible. They have a lovely rose gold shimmer to it.
I really like how the two polishes became one mani. Now i’m really curious for how long it’s going to stay on my nails.
Have you tried any of these polishes yet?
As the second part of the post i would like to share with you Radi’s guest post with you. I asked her to do a nice & fun spring nail art and she did a really great job, if you ask me. But see for yourself and don’t forget to visit her blog, to see more great swatches and design ideas.
This is my first guest post I`m making for Luchessa`s blog and I hope you like it!
First are the things you`ll need:
Base coat, pink polish, top coat, black, white and acrylic paint, regular and detailed brush.
And a little waterry white paint onto the wings` edge.
And here is one closer look of theese cute ladybugs on my both hands:
And this is the complete look of the design:
And now to the last part of this post. For those of you, who read it until this point, it should be worth it. 😉
You can WIN a great Golden Rose rich color nail polish in 07, sponsored by Radi.
And a KIKO sugar matt 641 strawberry pink (sand polish) + a Ultra Glossy Stylo Lipstick in 816 Pearly Hot Pink (bought by me), that’s going to match the polish color perfectly!
All 3 products are part of the Pink Dream Giveaway, which is going to run for a week, until April 18th and the winner is going to be picked via random.org

Cute! I’m especially impressed by the lady bug design!
And the jewel one works well with purple too… Maybe in the fall?
Right now I’m loving pales ping with grey! Fresh but I can keep it discreet!

This spring my favorite combination is any color with glitter tips
April 11, 2013 at 4:32 pm
I wonder of L’Oreal makes polish for Perfect? The bottle is very much like L’Oreal’s & the font on the bottle is identical (or o close I cannot see the difference…but then I am gone from home and don’t have access right now to look at Loreal polish. Your art work is gorg!
April 11, 2013 at 4:35 pm
Can’t tell you if the bottles are identical, since i never buy L’Oreal polishes. I simply don’t like them.
But then again many brands produce their products in the same fabrics, so no wonder, if the packaging looks similar. 😀

Hi! I followed both Radi’s blog and also your blog with e-mail.
Hmm… My favorite nail polish combination during spring would be coral with glitters at the tip of my fingernails. Not to mention how easy it is to touch up with glitters even if the tip of the nail polish chip off. =D
April 11, 2013 at 6:53 pm
Hehe, that ladybug design is hillarious!! 😀
April 11, 2013 at 6:54 pm
I loved the Jolly Jewels and the ladybugs are so cute!! +.+

Normally I love to use dark colours but in the spring I use more often pink nail polishes sometimes combined with some glitter, which I adore!

AS you may know since earlier I follow you through wordpress and actually I follow Radi through wp to but I also had added her to my blogger list (user nade is daPerley/Perly X) even that I don’t use it that often. 🙂
My favorite kombination for spring summer need to be diffrent neons with glitter on top, also I find stiletto nails extra tempting to get this time a year. 🙂
(This prix’zes would be amazing for my uppcomming “pink week” when I start blogging again, haha 🙂 )

I really like both nail art! In spring I like colors such as green or blue, with flowers (maybe stickers, because I don’t have too much time).
April 17, 2013 at 5:23 pm
Woh my oh my! I like both manicures! But the ladybug is really a kind of nail art I also would have made. My fave spring combo … Depends on the fashion trends. Now the pastels are hot so i would made a great mixture with the sugar Kiko and a smooth light blue lacquer.
