OPI The World is not enough!!

I just wanted to post OPI The world is not enough on my nails, I love it!! 
This is 3 layers! It looks absolutely beautiful on nails on its own! (^^*) 

One of the girls (I teach, 5 years old) grabbed my hand to today, stared at my manicure and said "Oh no, you can`t come each time with prettier nail polish on your fingers!! *frown*"... XDDDD How cute. I guess it was a compliment. XD

It is quite similar to MAC Soiree. :3


Great purchase, I`m happy so with it!

Also, have some music I can`t get enough of recently:

Mmmmmm, Macklemore ILU.

Addicted thanks to my younger sister ;D

OPI Skyfall nail polish: The World is not Enough, Casino Royale and Skyfall! :D

Happy New Year!! (*⌒▽⌒*)
It`s already 2013, time goes by soooo fast! I feel like I`ll be 60 before I know it! Σ(゜д゜;) Got to enjoy everything while it lasts. I hope you will have a wonderful year of the Snake. ( ^_^)o自自o(^_^ )*cheers to that*

Before xmas I ordered 3 OPI nail polishes, from the Skyfall collection. TBH I never was a big Bond fan, but it was a long time since I bought nail polish (except the Essie base/top coat from the previous post, but it was planned at the same time). I ordered The World is not Enough (glittery golden-brown with multicolor super tiny glitter) and Skyfall (almost brown, very deep dark red - I read someone describe it as "bull`s blood", which is disgusting but maybe accurate) for myself and Casino Royale (dark deep plum/violet-red) as a gift for my older sister, because she likes dark reds and violets on her nails. (‐^▽^‐)

Here`s how they look:

with flash (Casino Royale looks way different on nails though!)

not so good swatches on paper... `OTL

 And Skyfall on my nails! :D I love it! It is such a "grown-up" color and perfect for fall & winter. ヽ(´▽`)/ (Please excuse my dry cuticles OTL, I should take care of them soon). Recently I`m hating on glittery nail polish because it`s a paaaaain to remove and eugh, I`m fed up with them, so getting those new colors is very exciting to me! :DD I am completely satisfied with my order. If you are wondering, I ordered this from eBay seller THECOLORELF. I can recommed her and I`m sure you`ll be happy buying from her! OPI nail polish in Poland is at least 3 times the original price so it`s nonsense to buy it here.


BTW, I also cut my hair yesterday! ヽ(´▽`)/  I was thinking about it for some time and I had a day off and little sleep and went a bit hyper and thought "if not now, then WHEN??" and just walked into the nearest hair salon and did it!! (well, with young and nice looking hair stylist girls, I would never let an awful looking hairstylist cut my hair - you know the type, dry bleached hair, awful dark accents, eww). XD So now I look like this!

New Year, new hairstyle! Why not? 
I used to have hair this long about 2 years ago and I`ve missed it. And my hair was dry and damaged anyway so it was better to chop them. ☆⌒(*^∇゜)v ヴイッ Maybe I`ll do something with the color too. 

Anyway! This is all for today, have a wonderful new year and till next post!

Skincare routine after IZOTEK (same as accutane) and red nail polish

Hello my wonderful blogosphere-friends! :)
As most of you know, I recently finished IZOTEK treatment for acne. IZOTEK is a medicine identic to Accutane, which helps acne and dries up skin and the whole body and is a rather hard and long treatment, but the results are really something. After my treatment, so far I have no acne. But my skin did go back to normal a bit - on Izotek it was so dry it drove me mad! Now it sometimes even gets a tiny bit oily on the tip of my nose :D (hahah, it actually makes me happy to have normal skin back again lol)
Anyway, I had to change my skincare routine a little bit and not it looks like this (that's most of the things I use):
I went back to using La Roche-Posay's EFFACLAR face wash/cleanser. It is good for oily AND sensitive skin ,contains no parabens and is great, makes a fine soft foam and even removes makeup (also waterproof eye makeup, amazing). And for daytime moisturizer, I switched to EFFACLAR M, moisturising and mattyfing cream, also from La Roche-Posay. And when I bought 2 LRP items I got thermal water as a free gift, yay! LRP is a pharmacy-brand, so look for it there. ^^* I really recommend this face wash!
I recently bought Cleanique claryfing lotion in #1 (the weakest one), but still I am not sure if I should use it.... I hope it doesn't dry my skin out too bad D:

After washing my face I use HadaLabo Gokujun toner and milk (recently I only use the milk at night). I mix the toner with a drop of pure 1% hyaluronic acid, I bought it in a "make your own cream" store. After toner and milk I use the EFFACLAR M moisturiser for day. And for night I don't care if I'm shiny, I use Missha cream or WELEDA Skin Food cream (love-hate relationship!!) or just plain simple baby cream, this one:


Simple really is best, I love to use creams like this for face, hands and feet and elbows, lips... etc. So gentle and nice and no parabens and no bad ingriedients. :) So somedays I just put this on my face after other skincare. :) Or just apply a thick layer as a mask before sleep - it never breaks me out nor does it make my skin moer shiny. Really, try baby creams! Cheap and good. :)

*****************************

 Other news, a better photo of my Cookie monster and Elmo brooches and bracelet! I bought it in this cute store called Bubu! :D


Also, I felt I needed a change in my life and to start this tiny-revolution, got a cherry red nail polish, Feel my Karma from OPI. I looooove this color! I also got Sally Hansen nail growth contitioneer, which works really great as a treatment/base/top coat for me! Try it, me and my sister have been using it for years, it keeps the color on my nails for days.

almost wine red! xD

Also got 2 new pairs of shoes and a trench coat from PROMOD. After a hard week, I had a "self love sunday", like the ones Hana suggestst. Relaxing, taking care of my body and soul and feel-good, really worth spending some time on yourself and straightening all things in your head.
I hope you all have a wonderful week! <3
Thank you for reading! :D

blue: nail polishes and cloudless skies



Ahh, I am back from work trip! It was a lot of fun, but also long 4 days! You know how even not sleeping in your own bed makes you tired..? Even if a trip was fun, it was also work at the same time! :) I absolutely loved Wroclaw though, such a beautiful city! I need to visit it again and go sighseeing more :) It is in south-west Poland.



interesting sculptures! they are on the other side of the road too! 


The weather was wonderful too. 

I came back home to a pleasant surprise - my eBay nail polish order arrived while I was away! I got 2 OPI nail polishes, 2 China Glaze polishes and one top coat Seche Vite - I heard it is good, so I wanted to try! :D



The colors I got are:


- OPI, Princesses Rule! a sheer sparkly pink
- China Glaze, Temptation Carnation, peachy beige with pearl shine to it
- OPI, Russian Navy, deep navy blue with pink/purple tiny glitter, which is not too visible on nails, but I loooove this color!
- China Glaze, For Audrey, which is a gorgeous pastel mint color <333 it is a dupe for CHANEL`s Nouvelle Vague
BTW, I saw summer CHANEL nail polishes today and they totally have a color like OPI Russian Navy in the collection, double score! 8D Later had sushi with mom and sister. BTW, I need to catch up on mode gyaru posts on Universal Doll! <33 And all the blogs! :D 



Pretty colors! :D
