OPI - Brisbane Bronze


Hey girls!


So fall is here and it's been raining a lot lately. It's a very strange weather, a fall weather I guess. But I like fall because you can start burning some candles and prepare for winter!
My favorite color for fall is bronze. The coppery reflects make me think of the bright reds we see in leaves before they fall of trees. And one of my favorite bronzes is OPI's Brisbane Bronze. It looks perfects in two coats, but you can also apply it over a black base. And the black base gives it a completely different look.



To achieve this mani, I applied two coats of OPI's Lady in Black and one coat of my fast drying top coat. Then I taped my nails with some striping tape. I applied two coats of Brisbane Bronze and I gently removed the pieces of tape. I finished with my go-to top coat!




What do you think about it?

What are your favorite colors for fall?

#TheSundayNailBattle - Water Marble


Hey there!!

Water Marble is the theme of this week's Sunday Nail Battle. Again, Andreia and Odile, it's a great idea!!

I love this technique. Each marble you will do will be unique. And that's what I love about it. You can be so creative!

I took three colors : white, purple and my Ozotic 509. I wanted to try to do something psychedelic with some swirls and here's the result :





I really love what I came out with, unless my ring finger that looks a bit different :)

Do you like the water marble technique?

Peggy Sage - Féérique Mauve

Today I wanted to try one of the latest polish that I got from Peggy Sage which is "Féérique Mauve (223)".
I was completely seduced by the gold reflects it had, and when I applied it, it dried pretty quickly!
Here we go :



See? I love that depending on the lighting, the color looks so different!!
I added a little stamping that I did with the Mash-37 plate and Passion from China Glaze.




What do you think about it?

OPI - Over the Taupe


Hey there!!

OPI's Over the Taupe, is in fact the first OPI polish that I have ever bought. It was a few years ago!
I 'd been looking for this kind of taupe for a while, and when I saw that OPI made the perfect one, I knew I had to get it. At that time, OPI wasn't available everywhere in France. Only some Sephora stores were selling it. And that's where I found it! Too bad they were a little pricy. And they still are. I don't know why but here in France, an OPI polish costs about 14€ (18$). Pretty expensive, isn't it?
But, this is the perfect taupe!! Not too light and not too dark. I made a little stamping over it using my Konad M70 plate and Joy from China Glaze.




What about you? What was your first OPI polish?

#TheSundayNailBattle - Lady Gaga


Hey there!

Are you ready for some Gaga Nails? Because this week the battle's theme is Lady Gaga. Another great idea from Andreia and Odile !
I remember when I first heard her song Just Dance on the radio. I was like "Whaat? this is going to be another provocative singer, pffff ...". And when Poker Face started airing, I was pffff-ing even more. But then came Paparazzi. And I can't tell what happened when I heard this song, but something changed inside me. I was starting to love her songs. Even the ones I was hating at first.
Then her new album Born This Way came out and it completed my crush for Lady Gaga. I loved this album even more than the previous one. 

Anyway, I noticed that Gaga always wears some kind of stiletto nails, that look like paws! So, I decided that I had to do the same to be in the theme!!

So here we go!





And as I was lucky enough to attend her Born This Way Ball in Paris, here's a picture of her while singing Born This Way to conclude this little post!!


xoxo, little monsters!!
