Nail polish haul! + My fave top coat!

Hi my lovely readers! :) 

I did some nail polish shopping couple of days ago and decided do some haulin'.

Ring in the Red is a beautiful red glitter polish which kinda reminds me of Ruby Pumps but just smaller particles of glitter. I haven't tried this out yet but my friend owns it and has told that it's quite opaque. Would be amazing for xmas.

Prism - Full Spectrum - Polarized

all from the spring's  Prismatic collection! Looking lovely, haven't tested out yet though.

NOW THIS POLISH WAS A TRUE SCORE! This little guy is from the famous OMG! -collection. The polish is called 2NITE and is a GORGEOUS holo! Going for 40 bucks in ebay, I grabbed it for 4,50€. Sometimes I love living in a periphery ;) I absolutely love this nail polish!

Now this is an interesting polish. When I checked the name of it, I noticed that the label is white! That means that the polish is quite old- from the the before CG removed the harmful ingredients from their formula. Really interested in how this performs! Name is Groovy Green :) Looks like it'll be quite sheer but haven't tested it out yet.

Now it's official! China Glaze's Fast Forward top coat is my favourite top coat on this planet! It literally cuts down your nail polishes' drying time to a minute! And I  don't mean it dries the surface - it dries all the layers! So you can do anything with your nails after couple of minutes! Only downside is that is stinks... But the scent doesn't linger on your nails more than an hour or so. this is my second bottle of this polish! I bought 2 backups! ;)

OPI's Don't Touch My Tutu is such a lovely sheer white, perfect for those who love those chic, elegant nudeish nails! :) One coat would be perfect with a french manicure.

Fairy Dust from China Glaze. So versitile, can be layered with anything :)

Thank you so much for your time!

Melting nails inspired by Minna Parikka!

Hi my lovelies! :)

Yesterday I uploaded a new youtube video (finally!) showing how to create "melting/dripping" nails. I was inspired by the lovely Minna Parikka shoes I bought from a sample sale couple of months ago! :)

^I don't have that high heel but the same style.

Almost perfect color match: OPI's Did it on 'em and Pink Friday, both from OPI's Nicki Minaj collection. I wish  Pink Friday was a tiny bit more peachy! 

What do you guys think? :) Wanna try this out? Let me know!

NOTD: Slapped on some Slapper

Hi my lovely readers! :)

Today I received Slapper from Butter London, from working with their feetcare products launch in Finland (Urban a*). I have wanted Slapper for couple of month now, and I'm just so happy to own it! It's the most gorgeous turquoise color!

So, let's move on to the swatches;

1 coat w/ flash

1 coat w/o flash

2 coats w/ flash

2 coats w/o flash, this picture gives the most accurate view to the color itself.

It brushes on the nail beautifully, and as you can see; super opaque, 1 coat would be enough!  Lasting power is just as good as in other Butter London polishes! I highly recommend this color if you love blue nail polishes!  

if you live in Finland, I recommend candyshop.fi if you want to  shop Butter London =)

Countryside calling!

Hi my lovely readers! :)

I was on my friend's cottage with my friends this weekend! We had so much fun! We drove there on Friday night, because my friend got from work at 2.00 So we didn't really get much sleep that night- the drive to the cottage was 3 hours. But it was totally worth it! Finland is such a beautiful country! Even though I live here, I don't always notice it. There was mist/thin fog and the sun went down only for half an hour - then it rose again, and oh I just love the Finnish nature! The only thing scared me, was a HUGE moose eating something in the forest near the road.

We got to the cottage around 5am and we went staright to bed! We were so tired, and woke up on 12.00, then went shopping to the center of the town.  We bought marshmallows that we toasted later  on a campfire one of my friends managed to light up, even though it was windy and cold in the night. We also went to sauna and made a pathetic birch whisk xD I need my grandpa to show me (once again) how to make a proper one... 

 We just had so much fun there! Also watched "Sherlock", as they're finally showing it on YLE... I love Sherlock, it's my favourite tv-show! Ahh, if you  haven't even heard about Sherlock, you better check it out NOW! Ahh Benedict Cumberbatch is my favourite actor in the whole wide world <3

Satu & me :D (in Helsinki waiting for our friend Eevi to come from work)

Hope you had as much fun as I had this past weekend! :)

Remember me? Update on my skin!! Huge improvement!

Once again I am so sorry for not being able to keep up with my blog.  I have had school every day, I had a two week summer holiday and I also have been working on top of school! So I hope you will forgive me <3 I also haven't quit making youtube videos as some of you have asked me. I'll film one soon and upload it next week! =)

So I decided to update you guys with my skin! So I had pretty bad acne that began in February 2011. Before that my skintype was dry. Now it is combination/oily (I am a cosmetologist student btw if you didn't remember).
So from August 2011 to December I had a facial at east twice a week - and I changed all of my skincare products to Collin and Biodroga (which are the professional brands we have on our school). I know my skintype and what products to use on it. I also exfoliate once a week with a small grain scrub, and use a clarifying mask right after that. And of course I wash my face twice a day (I use my Clarisonic after I've taken my makeup off once a day) and use moisturizer.

So here we go with the pics! (taken in June 2011)

And now, today 18th of July 2012!! :) So happy to have better skin again! It's still not perfect since not all of the acne scars have healed. It'll take some time :) 

If you guys want, I can do a skincare routine/advice video, since I know pretty much abot skincare after a year of cosmetologist studies ;)

 

KISSES FROM LUNA <3

NOTD: Simple flowers

Hi loves! :) Here are my newest nails! Super duper simple & lovely for springtime! If you want a tutorial of this desing, just let me know!
I haven't been able to film videos recently: my iMovie is full of footage, so I should move some of it to a memory card or something, and my video camera is broken! :( So I don't know where I should I take it to be fixed, obviously it's just half a year old so yeah... xD
And on top of everything, I have been sick, on Friday my blood was taken and I fainted for the first time of my life! It took 20 minutes to get me conscious again. Bet the people in line for laboratory were super happy for extra waiting x3

Well, see you guys later!

Updates! My trip to Dubai & my perfume collection

Hi loves. I kind of forgot I had this blog.

I mean not really.

I just tried to forget anything else than school for February. I had so much to handle with school (which now equals work).

Every other week we go to evening shift and every other one to morning shift.

When I go to evening shift, I wake up 9 am and I'm on the train station & leave at 12.41 train. Then I get back home around 9 to 10pm. After that I'm too exhausted to do anything, in the morning I'm too tired and I spend my time on YT, FB, Twitter & tumblrin & of course getting ready while surfing in the internet!

When I got to morning shift I have to wake up 6am, then go to school with the 7.41 train & I'll be back home on 5pm. So then I could film videos, but again, I am so tired after the exhausting day. And I go to bed like 8pm xD

But yeah, I also was sick for one week. I had fever lastly in 2010 (in marticulation examination, 39°, yay!), but then I also had a bit, I mean 37,8°.

Then, I went to Dubai.

My favourite place in the whole wide world.

Honestly, I cannot imagine my future without Dubai. That country/emirate is the only place, apart from Finland of course, where I totally feel like home. My heart breaks every time I think of Dubai, and the fact that I'm not there. I don't know why though. Dubai is just my little magic land, I've been there now 4 times, which is 4 weeks in total. I think I know Dubai quite ok now :)

I've never really been in love with another human (obviously I love my family and friends but I mean different way), but I consider my feelings for Dubai as love. Honestly, there is just nothing I wouldn't love in that place!

So now I'll overload your computer screen with pictures from Dubai!

& My perfume collection video:

Thanks for your patience, I will write a new blogpost soon!
