Love Me Some Plum.

♥♥♥

Not really! LOL The weather in Rio has been quite cold, we're used to have the temperature around 37ºC, but lately it's been around 14ºC-22ºC. Very cold during the night, but during the day the weather is good, feels good, not too cold nor too hot, but today is very cool, a bit cold, but nothing too bad. 

I was in the mood for a good dark polish, and I was thinking about Carbono from Colorama, but decided to go with Plaza Plumberry from NYC. PP has a deep and dark plum color, very pretty. Formula was a dream, so SO smooth and easy to apply.

I got this beauty in a swap almost 2 years ago, and I regret not wearing it before!!

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?

I See A Falling Star...

♥♥♥

Hello! Sorry for the lack of posts, but I've been going out a lot lately, not partying or anything, during the day. I've been spending a lot of hours walking with Nahla, yesterday we had a three hours walk, when I met this lovely girl, Myriam, she's Spanish and only one year older than me. She is alone cause her friends left and she won't leave until tomorrow night. After I dropped Nahla home we went for a looong walk, and I stayed out for another 3 hours, didn't get back until 5PM. I've been having a lot of fun hanging out with her, and today we went to the Botanical Garden. We got there at around 9:30AM and didn't leave until 3PM. We walked a lot, saw a LOT of beautiful trees, plants and some little lakes. We had lunch and finally headed home. We stop by my apartment and grabbed Nahla so we could finally go for a walk with her, since I didn't have the time to do it in the morning. Didn't get home until 6PM I think, maybe a little over that.

Tomorrow we're going out again, don't know what we're doing, but we're doing something lol

Here are some pictures I took today. Nahla absolutely LOVED Myriam!

Finally to my nails. This afternoon I had China Glaze Cowgirl Up, but it wasn't very well done. A few moments ago I was looking through mys stash, as usual, and looked at Falling Star from Barielle. I felt in love with a picture I saw on tumblr, but it looks so different in person. I was actually a bit disappointed, which is why I haven't swatched it before. I decided to give it a try, and I do like it, but I don't love it. Formula was good, a bit tricky but nothing to worry about.

Not color accurate, AT ALL! FS is a dusty darkish blue/purple. I LOVE the copper glitter in it, and it's actually what attracted me the most, the combo between copper and blue was very appealing to me. The copper glitters are a bit hungry, and because  I'm out of Seche two coats of a super thin brazilian top coat was needed.

Random Picture Of Nahla ♥

♥♥♥

I'm gonna start posting pictures of Nahla, the only purpose is to show you how cute she is and how be she's getting :D I won't right posts, just random comments.

Today's picture was taken minutes ago, I just put a new sheet on my bed, a brand new one, which I'm in love with, and as I was putting it on the bed, Nahla got in the bed and simply lay down, and stretched herself, making herself very comfortable, before I was even done lol

And this is how she's laying right now!!

She looks VERY comfy, right?!

Lego Like Nails :)

♥♥♥

This is such a late post! :S I felt asleep this afternoon after a walk with Nahla, and only woke up at 11PM... It was a total accident, I lay on the bed just for a second  and I felt asleep, and it was cold a hell, mom had to cover me with my blanket, and turn off the lights.

Anyway. I went to the movies on Wednesday to watch "Man Of Steel", and it was AWESOME, and I wanted to do a nail art for it, but I failed badly, but the colors were great for a lego inspired nails, blue/red/yellow, I didn't do anything fancy, just two accent nails (thumbs and ring finger) with stripping tape. I was absolutely in love with the way it turned out, but because I was sale to capture Baker Street's true color I only kept it for a day.

Looks cute, right?

Nails Inc - Baker Street (PROPER SWATCHES AND COLOR ACCURATE)

♥♥♥

Hello there! Sorry for the lack of posts, but it's super cold here in Rio, and I feel like staying in bed all day, and not painting my nails at all! 

Yesterday I went out to watch "Man Of Steel", and I wanted to do something Superman related, but I failed miserably, and I ended up with skittles nails, with red, yellow and blue. When I got home last night I made two accent nails with striping tape, looked great, and when I took the pictures I saw that Baker Street's color was accurate, so I simply swatched BS on all my nails and took the pictures. I also decided to post this before the striping nails.

The pictures really are color accurate, I'm so happy ♥

This is my favorite blue ever, hope you enjoy it!

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.

Not A Nail Polish Post: Nahla ♥

♥♥♥

The reason I'm making this post is because Nahla did the funniest thing last night!

Me and my mom were playing with her last night, she has this squeaky watermelon that she loves. She was biting it so it would make the sound, and she was going crazy, but me and my mom had other plans. We decided to get the watermelon from her and throw it so she could get it, I was on the bed and mom was sitting on her computer chair. It was all good, she was having tons of fun, and so were we. But the last time we threw the toy and she got back to the bed, she simply threw it to my mom, an accident, obviously, but me and my mom laughed SO hard. My mom had to go to the bathroom and pee otherwise she was going to pee herself, and my belly was hurting SO much from laughing.

Reading it can't be that funny, but when it happened, it was lol

I couldn't post this and not post a picture of Nahla, this was was taken yesterday afternoon during our daily walk to Arpoador beach, she looks too adorable, and a bit mad because we were just there, not walking because I was taking picture of her and the view lol ♥

And yes, I use two leashes. She pulls too much, and she doesn't care if the red one chokes her, but I panic every time, so I use the harness so she won't get hurt.

Ludurana Orion

♥♥♥

I have yet another holo to show you today. Ludurana has been know internationally for their holos and duo/multi chrome polishes. This one is from their new holo line, but it's also a duo, too bad I couldn't capture it. It's from the Supernova collection.

Formula was good, very smooth. First coat it appears to be very thin and that it might take more than just your usual 2 coats, but when you apply the second coat you see that you won't need more than those two :)

The holo effect is VERY visible, and I promise you the pictures are not under the sun, really! ♥

Yes, I chopped down my nails. They were getting a bit too long for my taste, it was about time, really :)

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 ♥
