Colorama Coral Chic ♥

♥♥♥

This particular polish remembers me of Chanel Miami Peach, I'll have to make a comparison post late :)
Coral Chic is a super old polish from Colorama, I've had it for a long time now, but because it's very sheer I haven't worn it a lot of times...
Coral Chic is a coral polish with golden flecks, super fine flecks.

Zuza Nails.

♥♥♥

Before I talk about my nails, let me talk about Nahla. On Monday Nahla will be spayed, and I'm very much nervous. She's my baby, and I know it's a simple procedure, but I'm still nervous. Like everything else in Brazil spaying a dog is crazy expensive, around 500 dollars. But I'm not really worried about that, I'm more worried about what's gonna happen once she's in and then after the surgery. If you had your dog spayed let me know how it was afterwards, if she/he was okay, stuff like that :)
Now to my nails. I've had Zoya Zuza for a little while now, but never swatched it before, but I was already in love with it, which is why I have it. Don't know why I didn't swatch it before, but here it is.
Application was a dream, like all the Zoyas I already have.






I absolutely LOVE the way it looks, but I'll have to take pictures when the sun is setting so I can capture the effect better, will update tomorrow.

I Smell Watermelons

♥♥♥

Looking through my stash I got a peek at WS, and I realized I never did a proper post on this beauty. 
WS has golden and green flecks and shimmer. I layered one super thin coat over Posh. 
Some of you might have read on the blog's FB page that  the Seche Vite I asked grandma to send me got here today. The doorman said my eyes were shinny when I saw the package from my grandma lol
WS is such a beautiful polish, and it has a watermelon smell, watermelon bubble gum anyway, and it's fantastic, it doesn't make me sick.







Such a pretty color, right?

Royal Baby - IT'S A BOY

♥♥♥

Like most people, I've been obsessed over William & Kate's baby. I've been waiting for the baby to be born, and today I read that Kate was in labor, I went for a walk with Nahla at around 4:30 PM, Rio De Janeiro time zone, and when I got back I passed through a hotel, right next to my building, and I heard the the security guard telling the doorman the Royal Couple had had their baby, and it was a boy. I rushed back home just to read the news. It's exciting, I don't know why, it just is lol
I simply HAD to do my nails with a "It's a boy theme!", and here's what it looks like :)
A little fact I've hidden from the pictures with photoshop, the little foot? PACKED WITH BUBBLES. It's annoying and my bottles of Seche Vite must get here NOW! I decided to hide the bubbles cause no one needs to see them.

Mint Manis For Talia Joy ♥

♥♥♥

Today I'm posting my mint mani for Talia Joy. Talia's death hit me badly, it was close to home, I lost my grandma 3 years ago, also from cancer, she lost her battle after 5 years. 
Talia was an inspiration to a lot of people out there. She was always happy, and in good spirit. And at only 13 she was an incredible make up artist.
I'm writing this post with a heavy heart, it's sad. She was a beautiful girl, and she didn't just inspire those fighting cancer, she has inspired everyone, she made the most of everyday, no matter how she felt, it she was feeling good or if she was in pain. 
During an interview with The Truth 365 she was asked how she wanted to be remembered in 100 years and this was her answer:
"In a hundred years, I would like to be remembered as the bubbly girl who wanted to do something about childhood cancer."
Also, when asked about her biggest fear at the moment, she said: "I don't know, I don't really have any fears at this point.". It's incredible to see such a brave young girl. Meet Talia:


The reason we're doing such a specific color is because her last picture on instagram was of a mint manicure.


Just go to Post FAQ to see what I used.







I'm sending all my love to Talia's family and friends ♥

OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest ♥

♥♥♥

I told you I was gonna make a proper post on EMIO! 
Every Month Is Oktoberfest has a gorgeous purple black base with this perfect red shimmer. I took a picture o the bottle to show you why I call it a purple black, not the other way around. As much as I love this polish, it does have a flaw, a minor one, it's a bitch to take off and clean up. It's VERY pigmented, so cleaning your cuticles might be messy, so applying it very carefully is very important! Thankfully I didn't get any polish on my cuticles! The formula is great, it applied very smoothly.








Can you see the purple on the top? :)

This is one of my favorite polishes, and I had forgotten all about it, gotta change my top 5 list!!

Comparison Post: OPI Midnight In Moscow vs OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest

♥♥♥

Back in June I was going through my stash trying to pick a polish to wear, on my OPI/China Glaze drawer I pulled a few polishes, but I pulled two that at the time looked the same to me, but I was sure it wasn't. I looked again and found the first I pulled. They looked alike, but were not the same.
EMIO has a purple black base with red shimmer, while MIM has a black base with red shimmer. 
They both have a great formula, here are the posts: MIM & EMIO.
I haven't done a proper post for EMIO, but I'll do it!






As you cans see, they're very different, but they're both incredible pretty!
