Dark Blue And Black Gradient ♥

♥♥

Hello my loves, today's post was one I quite loved. After I applied Colorama Quadrado Azul I thought: "Well, I need to add something to it, but what?! A GRADIENT!!". When I bought Quadrado Azul, I also bought Preto Gráfico Fosco, from the same collection, but I bought it because it's a matte black, which became a love of mine.
Looked much better in person cause you can't see the flaws, but I still love it!

Colorama Quadrado Azul (♥)

♥♥

I'm in love ♥ I just bought Quadrado Azul last night. I was looking for a new black polish, when I saw this beauty. I just HAD to buy it. But when I saw at the drugstore I didn't realize it had a silver shimmer to it.
The formula was FANTASTIC, two coats and I was done. It's very, VERY shinny, but I do love to use top coat.
I had to use photoshop to edit the color, and make it color accurate. But you can still see the shimmer.




Can you see the shimmer??


I absolutely love this color, and I might get the green one from the collection, it reminds me of OPI Who The Shrek Are You? - One of my favorite polishes ever ♥
And Colorama is SUPER cheap here in Brazil, I paid R$3,05 (real) and $1.34 in dollars, each bottle had 8ml.

Dior Nirvana ♥

♥♥

How is everyone doing tonight?
Nirvana used to be a HUGE lemming of mine, and I was holding myself back to not buy it. But I bought 4 last year, and this was one of them
Nirvana is a teal green polish, with the usual secret shimmer Dior is known for.








Here's the secret shimmer.
I absolutely LOVE this color, and I don't know why on earth I didn't wear this before!

A England Order Of The Garter And Stamping ♥ (FREAKING PERFECT ♥) it's a big post and picture heavy!

Hey loves ♥

How is everyone doing?
Just let me begin with my dog. It's been a while since I've posted a picture of Nahla in here. She's finally walking on the street, she took the shots she needed to be able to. And she's freaking adorable ♥ She gets all excited, and wants to play with everyone. And no one cares when she jumps on them, they always play with her. But because she's just a puppy, and only 4 months old, and not used to other dogs yet, she gets a bit scared, she gets close to other dogs, but jumps when they get closer to her, it's very funny. But she's starting to get used to other dogs, very slowly. She goes after them when they have their backs to her, when they turn she jumps lol
She's growing VERY fast, here's a picture of her:


If you have a dog, leave a picture, tell me about it. I'll absolutely LOVE to hear about it. Or any other pets.

Now to my nails.

The other day I decided to put Order Of The Garter from A England on again. The first time I did I just couldn't capture it right, and I was still using my old camera back then. But since I have a great new camera, I was VERY happy to see that capturing it was not a problem. 
OOTG is one of my favorite polishes ever, it's on my TOP 5. It's blue (♥) and it has blue shimmer (♥), and I'm a sucker for blue polishes and polishes with shimmer. I used two coats of OOTG. And I stamped over it with Konad plate M63.













Tip Top Nail Polish Review

Hello ♥♥♥

I put this post on the top of the list because it's long overdue.
I've been trying to take decent pictures of these polishes for a long time. But I wasn't being able to capture the true colors, or adjust it properly on PhotoShop. About a week ago I found some new settings on my camera, which is what I was missing to take color accurate pictures.
Tip Top is a South African polish brand.
Tip Top sent me four polishes, a base coat and a top coat for review.
The polishes are very pretty, I was in love from the moment I opened the package.
I used two coats for each of them, followed by one coat of Tip Top's top coat.
The formula on the polishes was great, no issue. The base coat was also great, and I have just a little bit left. But here's the thing about their top coat, it works great with the Tip Top polishes, but not so great with other polishes. It dried super fast with my TT polishes, but it would take forever to dry with my other polishes. Which is a shame because it's very shinny!

Let's start with Pot-O-Berries: It's a dark jelly berry pink.




Sitting Pretty: It's a neon pink. A beautiful one. I actually wouldn't call it a neon, but it's such a bright pink. It's very shinny, and it doesn't dry matte like most neons. I don't know what to call it, help me out here hahah




Furfer Girl: My favorite of the four I was sent. SG is a pretty purple with lilac/pink shimmer. Formula was a dream!! This was the polish I was having more problems to capture its true color, but good news, I did ♥




And at last, but not least Cha Cha Cha: The perfect mint green. I actually have it on right now. Unlike most mint greens, this one's formula was great, and not tricky.




The polishes are fantastic, and so are the colors.

Skittlette Nails ♥

Hey lovelies ♥

Today's nails are quite fun. I just recently started following ChitChatNails, and let me tell you, the woman is amazing! She does this incredible manis that she calls Skittlette. And it's addicting. Once you start doing it it's hard to stop. Marta has a tutorial in her page showing you how to do it, here's the link, She also posted a 'second part' post on the how to that was done by SoNailicious, here's the link to her post.
I'm leaving here a picture taken from her blog, with her permission. You can see how amazing she is.

This is the picture that made me fall in love with skittlette manis.
Now back to my nails. In my index finger I have Revlon Cloud, the next two is China Glaze Ahoy (♥) and on my pinkie I have Icing Urban Affair. I stamped over Ahoy with Konad m57.









This was my first one, so be nice. I'm no expert, that's for sure.
