Color Club Cast A Spell Mini Collection

Halloween is just around the corner! (OK not really, but still!) I love Halloween. I love eating candy corn and I just love Halloween! I can't wait to do my Halloween manis! Got so many ideas thanks to other bloggers! But for now I have Color Club's Cast A Spell Mini collection.




Hocus Pocus is a semi-sheer base with holographic glitters. This was done in 3 coats


Spellbound is a bright neon orange creme. VERY bright


Charmed I'm Sure is a blurple shimmer. It's more purple in real life, but we all know the cases of cameras.


Bewitching is a black creme. Fully opaque in one coat. Sounds like a good polish to use for konads!

The formulas were nice. It was just a little hard for me to use since I have long fingers, and the tiny little bottle cap was hard for me to hold. Other than that no complaints!

And that is all I have for today!

Misa Um You're Too Delicious

Hi all!

Since it's the World Cup and all, I'm trying out my orange polishes to see if there is one suitable for a manicure when The Nederlands will be playing. This time: Misa Um You're Too Delicious, which was part of my swap with Linda :)

Um You're Too Delicious orange neonUm You're Too Delicious Orange neonMisa Um You're Too Delicious, three coats in daylight. Um You're Too Delicious is a jellylike orange neon. I didn't even know it was possible, but it certainly looks that way! Normally neons dry matte or satin, but this one dries absolutely shiny with a jellylike finish. I like it! Please believe me when I say that this polish is WAY brighter irl.

Application was fine, but drying time was not. It took forever to dry and when I tried to stamp it, over an hour later, it still wasn't dry and I ended up taking it off because the stamping ruined my mani. Also, I suspect that this is the only Misa I own that is not B3F and that this causes the polish to smell really bad (I will check the ingredients later today to be sure). I will try her once more this week or next week, to see if it works better :)

So now I wonder: what's your favorite orange polish?

Thanks for stopping by!

Love Purple!

Yesterday Kellie did a post with China Glaze Flying Dragon and reminded me of how much I love this polish! So I ran  to make a mani with it and decorated it with some hearts :) Isn´t it just gorgeous? Hope you all have a great Friday.

ManGlaze nail art

Yesterday I had time to play with my polishes a bit more, so I tried to do a ruffian mani using Color Club Ultra Violet and ManGlaze Matte is Murder. I have never made one before, so as one could expect, it ended up as a major fail :( Well nobody is perfect. I tried to hide the imperfections with some stamping and actually like it like this a lot!


What do you think? Any tips and tricks how to do a nice ruffian are welcome :)

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy with Konad

It is raining outside and it will for another week, that sucks! I decided that I need a mani to cheer me up and the choice was Flip Flop Fantasy from the Poolside collection. This color is really so much fun, it is so positive :) Black konad looks great over these bright colors, so I went for something simple and summery. Image from plate m28. Oh and guess where China Glaze is from? Yes, California!

Color Club Warhol (Poptastic Collection 2010)

Another really bright neon polish for this summer. Nothing special, but if you like neon pinks like me, you will like this one too :) I have three coats and of course a clear top coat, as this dries matte.

Další výrazná neonka na letošní léto. Nic uchvacujícího a co by tady už předtím nebylo, ale jestli podobné láčky máte rádi, bude se vám líbit i tento :) Mám tři vrstvy a samozřejmě nechybí ani bezbarvý nadlak, protože zasychá matný.

China Glaze Towel Boy Toy with Konad

Towel Boy Toy is my favourite from the newly released Poolside collection (my swatches here). I thought it would be fun to decorate it with some Konad. I also really wanted to try out the new Konad plates, so this is M78. I really like the way it looks like :)

Towel Boy Toy je mým oblíbencem z nové Poolside kolekce (fotky celé kolekce zde). Napadlo mě ozdobit ho razítkováním, hlavně už jsem chtěla vyzkoušet nové destičky. Použila jsem tedy M78. Výsledek je super, moc se mi líbí :)

China Glaze Poolside Collection - Video

While swatching this fabulous collection I also made a short video for you. The colors are very accurate, so I reccomend you put on your sunglasses before watching :) Hope you it helps you deciding.
If you missed my swatches you can have a look here.

V průběhu focení téhle kolekce, jsem pro vás natočila i krátké video. Odstíny jsou v něm velmi věrné, a proto doporučuji před shlédnutím nasadit sluneční brýle :) Doufám, že vám pomůže v rozhodování.

China Glaze Poolside Collection - Swatches and Review

China Glaze is launching a brand new collection of six neon shades for this summer. The release date is April 1st, so it is about time for some swacthes :) All of these will make you stand out of the crowd. They are bold and very bright. You will not believe how bright they are, until you see them in person.
edit: video of the whole collection - very accurate colors!
Application: neons have some specifics, you need to know about. First of all, they dry matte. To get the shine, just apply a layer of topcoat. I used Seche Vite on all the pictures. Second, try to apply these in thin coats and always let each coat dry completely before applying the other. This way you will prevent streaks and missing patches of color.
Application tip: try to apply your neon on a coat of white nail polish. This way you can prevent VNL and make the colors pop.

China Glaze pro tohle léto přichází se zbrusu novou kolekcí šesti neonových laků. Kolekce vyjde 1. dubna, takže akorát tak čas na nějaké fotky v akci :) Všechny odstíny z této kolekce vás učiní nepřehlédnutelnými. Jsou výrazné a velmi zářivé.
edit: video celé kolekce - věrně zachycuje odstíny.
Nanášení: neonové laky mají určitá specifika, o kterých je lepší vědět. Zaprvé zaschnou matné, to ale spraví jakýkoliv průhledný nadlak. Já jsem na všech fotkách použila Seche Vite. Zadruhé doporučuju lak nanášet v tenkých vrstvách a každou nechat úplně zaschnout. Tímto způsobem se vyhnete pruhování a nepravidelné aplikaci.
Tip na nanášení: zkuste nejdříve nalakovat nehty bílým lakem a pak teprve nanášet ten neonový. Barva tak líp vynikne a nehet nebude prosvítat.

YELLOW POLKA DOT BIKINI
Very bright neon yellow. A bit hard to work with, I had to do four coats. I think white polish under would solve the problem. Still nothing one can´t handle and the result is worth it. It really shines!

Zářivá nonová žlutá. Úplně jak zvýrazňovač na nehtech. S tímhle se mi pracovalo nejhůř z celé kolekce, byly zapotřebí čtyři vrstvy. Přesto nic, co by se nedalo zvládnout. Výsledná barvička stojí za to!


SUN WORSHIPER
A beautiful neon orange. This will make a great pedi color. It was also a bit harder to work with. But I expected that and again used four coats.

Nádherná neonová oranžová. Tahle barvička bude perfektní na nožky. Taky se s ní hůř pracovalo, ale to jsem čekala a znovu použila čtyři vrstvy.


FLIP FLOP FANTASY
I love the name of this bright coral neon. It is a lot on the pink side and I just love that. This applied very nice, three coats.

Ten název je prostě dokonalej! Opět velmi zářivá barvička, korálová neonka. V téhle je hodně růžové a to se mi moc líbí. Dobře se nanášela, tři vrstvy.


POOL PARTY
This stuff is radioactive! I think it is the brightest of the whole collection. A hot pink neon. I will be wearing Pool Party a lot in the summer, I am sure of that. Great application, had no problems. Three coats.

Tenhle kousek je snad radioktivní! Myslím, že je to nejzářivější lak z celé kolekce. Výrazná nonová růžová. Tuhle budu v létě nosit hodně často, tím jsem si jista. Perfektní aplikace, žádné problémy. Tři vrstvy.


TOWEL BOY TOY
Another great name for a polish. This is the only one with shimmer and I wouldn´t call it a neon, although it dries matte. It a beautiful blue with shimmer. I added a picture in the sun, so that you can see it. My favourite of the collection. Three coats.

Další povedený název pro lak. Tenhle je jediný s odlesky, ani bych ho nenazvala neonovým, i když zasychá matný. Přidala jsem fotku na sluníčku, aby byly odlesky vidět. Pro mě jednoznačně nejhezčí lak z celé kolekce. Tři vrstvy.


KIWI COOL-ADA
Neon green, very bright. This applied very nice, although four coats were needed. I don´t have anything like this and again it will be a great pedi color.

Další velmi výrazný lak. Neonová zelená. Dobře se nanášela, i když byly potřeba čtyři vrstvy. Podobný lak ve své sbírce nemám a opět i tady platí, že bude super na pedikůru.


Overall I really like this collection. Some of them were harder to apply, but if you follow the application tips, you are ok :) In this collection, you get all you need for summer. Fun, bright neon colors, that will make you always stand out! Can´t wait to walk on the beach with these beauties!
P.S. too bad there is not a purple neon, but I want a purple polish in every collection, so don´t listen to me :P

Celkově se mi kolekce moc líbí. Některé laky jsou sice horší z hlediska nanášení, ale když budete postupovat, jak jsem psala na začátku, tak bude vše ok :) Kolekce obsahuje vše, co na léto potřebujete...veselé, zářivé barvičky, díky kterým nikdy nezapadnete v davu. Už se těším, až se s nima projdu po pláži!
P.S. škoda, že kolekce neobsahuje i neonovou fialku, ale já chci fialový lak v každé kolekci, tak mě neposlouchejte :P

China Glaze Purple Panic

I can´t wait for the Poolside collection to come out, but before it does, why don´t we have a look at an older China Glaze neon. Purple Panic is a beautiful purplish pink with blue shimmer. I LOVE blue shimmer in pinks! I have three coats and as all neon polishes, this dries matte, so I added Seche Vite. Isn´t it lovely? What other neons from China Glaze do you like? :)

Už se nemůžu dočkat, až se do prodeje dostane Poolside kolekce. Než se tak ale stane, proč se nepodívat na nějaký starší neonový China Glaze lak? Purple Panic je nádherná fialková růžovka s modrými odlesky. A já prostě miluju modré odlesky v růžových lacích! Na fotkách jsou tři vrstvy a stejně jako ostatní neonové laky, i tenhle zasychá matný. Stačí ale přidat bezbarvý nadlak a můžete si ho užít v celé kráse. No není nádherný? Jaké další neonové laky se vám od China Glaze líbí? :)

China Glaze Flying Dragon

This beauty was on my wish list for a long time and now it is mine! What a gorgeous purple. I don´t have anything like this in my purple collection. This in a deep neon purple with blue and pink glitter. It dries matte and a bit rough, so a top coat is needed to see its full beauty. Now how couldn´t I just love this?

Tuhle nádheru jsem měla na svém wish listu už dlouho a teď je konečně moje! Je to úžasná fialka a ve své kolekci nemám nic podobného. Flying Dragon je výrazná neonová fialka s růžovými a modrými třpytečkami. Zachne matně (stejně jako všechny neonové laky) a díky třpytkám je povrch drsný. Doporučuju teda jednu až dvě vrstvy nadlaku. No uznejte, že je dokonalý?

Color Club Power Play

Another neon polish from Color Club and another dissapointment :( I did three coats and as you can see there is still VNL. Oh and I thought I would at least love the color, but it looked strange on me.

Další neonový lak od Color Club a další zklamání :( Trpělivost jsem tentokrát měla jen na tři vrstvy a přesto ještě prosvítal. Myslela jsem, že alespoň barvička se mi bude líbit, ale nějak jsme si nesedli. Necítila jsem se v ní.

Color Club Electro Candy

Every time I use this polish I want to get rid of it, but never do it. I love the color of this neon pink. It has beautiful blue shimmer and I really like that. But you know what irritates me? Polishes that need more than two coats and this baby here needs five! I am so LAZY to do five coats (seven if you count base coat and top coat). But still, the color rocks!

Pokaždé, když se s tímto lakem nalakuju, jsem pevně rozhodnutá, že se ho zbavím. Nakonec to ale neudělám, protože je to úžasná barvička. Neonově růžová s jemnými modrými odlesky. Co mě na něm ale strašně štve je to, jak nekryje. Tenhle lak potřebuje tak pět vrstev (sedm, když počítám podlak a nadlak) a to je něco, co nesnáším. Navíc jsem děsně líná tolik vrstvev dělat. Njn, když barvička je to opravdu nádherná!

Parallel Race

Hi, just a quick post for my NOTD, I really like the design I made, but the real shade of the colors were not shown in the picture, maybe because my camera could not recognize the color, or maybe my background lighting conflicts with the camera flash. Whatever the reason I don't really know. It's more attractive in actual. Too bad I can't share it with you guys. I love the amisy F05 design.
When you see my mani what comes first into your mind? Do you like it?
I used neon green,pink and blue bnc nail polish
