The Suede

I’ve bought this shade back in September. Due to the festive season of December I didn’t really have time to use it more than once or twice. But in the gloomy months of January and February I will totally paint my nails with these beautiful matte, dark blue more often.

Essence, 196, I love my blue jeans

The essence duo

I decided to extend my eyeshadow collection, but I wanted to start simple. I bought these two gorgeous colours from essence. One of them is a shimmery, champagne colour while the other is a simple white-toned beige. Perfect for base or even a little highlight. These two colours are great for simple look, nice only used in themselves but can cooperate nicely with any other chosen colour.

Essence, party all night
Essence, blockbuster

gutted

I'm furious! I was supposed to do blogposts today about teas and also a recipe one. As #holidayhint posts...and my camera decided to be really funny and somehow make all my photos disappear. I'm so sorry...I think I will reshot my tea post because that is easy but I don't know when I'm going to be able to bake again. Maybe I will do a wrap about Christmas from the pictures on my phone, I will see. But I'm just so gutted and wanted to apologize. I don't know where all my photos went...
Anyway, I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas <3

#holidayhint : nails

I know Christmas is super close now but I thought I would still carry out my series this year. The new name is #holidayhint and firstly I would like to talk about nail polishes that are fit for this time of the year.
The first nice burgundy-toned red is from Avon, called Cherry Jubilee. I saw one of my friends, Orsi wearing this and I was sold. It looked really nice and I spotted that it can be worn all year around. It's nice at spring/summer. With more than one layer in autumn and it's perfect for winter-time as well, I am wearing it right now.

The second is a red from s-he, 190. I think with a basic red you can never go wrong.

The next is a gold one from s-he, 320. If you feel like you can wear it on its own or with the red mentioned above ( on the ring finger ).

And the last one is from Avon, called Rose Golden. It's a nice oringy-rosegold colour that I think is cute, good for Christmas and even for New Year's Eve as well.

What are your favourite nail colours for this season?

Wow...I don't even know where to start. I haven't been here a while ( seriously not even on this control panel ). I guess an explanation would be nice.
I changed. My posts weren't the same and I didn't like them, so I've stopped posting. I know it's partly because I didn't have time but I also lost motivation. And the lack of response is also saddening, however as long as I enjoy something I don't care about the feedback. But I didn't enjoy blogging...I couldn't. And a week ago ( or so ) my friend asked me when is the next post coming. I thought "nah, now I don't have the time, I don't even want to.." but that got me thinking. I actually liked here, sharing my tips and see other's ideas, I love writing and beauty-related topics. I remembered that I missed the first birthday of the blog, and I felt really sad. I felt I betrayed this place and I was angry with myself.
However I wasn't sure what I wanted. I still don't know. Now I just feel like I want to continue, with small steps. So I know I've asked it too many times but bear with me. I will try my best. And if things don't work out..well we will talk about then. And once more to the few who have visited this site more than once: Thank You and I'm sorry that I've been away without a word.
