Review: ASTOR Lycra Lacque Deluxe

   Hey beauties! I'm back from my trip, it was nice and, since it was in the mountains, it was pretty relaxing too...well, the sleeping part anyway, since the parties were the priority in this camp :)
   Today I wanted to write a few words about the nailpolish I am wearing right now. My mom praised it so much, I like this dark red color and thought I'd try it, it's 550 Red Lace. She warned me it dries very slowly, though. As always, I used a base coat, two coats of color and a top coat (of course, waiting for each layer to dry before applying the next one). 


   
   My conclusion: I'm rather disappointed...the color is lovely and indeed it doesn't chip off, but...eventhough I let it dry for more than an hour (is any nailpolish worth waiting more??), it has no shine almost at all, not even with a top coat....why? Because, I have the feeling it never dried completely...even now, after 4 days, if I touch it a bit harder with something, it leaves marks in it :| scratches...a good nailpolish shouldn't do that, right? Everything leaves trails in it and little hairs and stuff stick to it, which obviously looks very ugly:


As I said, my mom likes it very much, so who knows...I also have it on the toes and it looks better, but there I didn't have time to apply base and top coats. That means the base and top coats might be the problem, they are by Miss Sporty, but they've worked well with other nailpolishes. 


What was your experience with this nail polish?

Summer specifics :)

   Good evening, darlings! I'm halfway done with some reviews, mainly about certain hair products I've been using in a desperate attempt to restore my hair. But I am in such a chill mood, I'm just going to be random and present my LOTD, a light summerish make-up.
    But, first of all, I have a question for you! Do you happen to know if I can find Viva la Diva nailpolish in Romania somewhere?? I have two of them, but got them in Sweden a long time ago, I love their quality and funky colors! These are the two I have, they are a bit damaged (my dog stole the blue one once, FFUUU) and I also need better light, but voila:


And now for my LOTD...nothing special, just played around with make-up in summer shades, but I must confess, later on when I went out, I personalized it with much more black! :>




And now, this is how my evening will continue:

Want some icecream? Here ya go! *_*

Mini Haul + New False Lashes

   Trying to keep to my promise of staying more active on here! So, I managed to have long nails for a while, much longer than usually in the past few years and lasted more! I think it's mainly thanks to my Almond Oil Nail & Cuticule Treatment by The Body Shop (received it as a present, mentioned a few posts ago). It is super effective. Then I didn't use it for a while because I was busy/lazy, and they broke. Now they are short again, and I have decided to invest in some new treatments which I can also use as base coats. Bought some by the new Miss Sporty line, and a lotion by Farmec. Here are the ones by Miss Sporty (you can read on the bottles what each is for):
Here you have all of them:
Hope they will help! Did you try them? What did you think about them?

Moving on, a few weeks ago I got some fake lashes from KK Center for reviewing. I am VERY satisfied so far! There are 10 pairs in the box, I love the way they were stored, packed up impecably. Easy to remove from the package without breaking them, the band the lashes themselves are attached to is super thin and transparent, so that they look really natural, don't look artificial at the base, like many other lashes did (even super expensive ones). I had eyelash adhesive already, thank goodness, because they don't send any with it. The lashes look great, I chose some pretty natural looking ones. They are nice and long though, but not too dramatic, just perfect. They are also really flexible, which is great cause I had experiences with lashes that were too rough and were scratching my eyelids on the sides, which is extremely uncomfy, but the KK Center lashes are GREAT. Here is a peek of them, soon will so a look using them and will post it.


These are the best lashes I've tried so far (twice...soon more!). Which are your favourite fake lashes?

NOTD: Farmec

   Good evening darlings! I have been very very busy, even now I'm tired...not going anywhere tonight, I will get some choco liquor and start writing album reviews :D That's partially why I've been so busy these days, and also got an important interview to do, so in order to ask good questions, I had a lot of research to do. For those who don't know, I have a webzine called Playdeadnation , it's for people that like music with attitude and great messages between the lines. Also stands AGAINST animal cruelty, and supports tolerance, creativity and bravery for people to express themselves.

   So, that's what kept me busy, plus been doing make-up for photoshoots at a studio. Now I want to show you my nails of the day, well actually 2 days ago (but it's still put and looks almost perfect!)
   This is one of my favourite nail colors, by Farmec. I don't remember the price, I bought it in some supermarket a few months ago and fell in love with the color immediately! As you might have noticed, I love interesting colors and this certainly is one. It's a sort of mix between grey (maybe very dark silver, with almost no shimmery reflexes at all), a sort of beige and a tiny hint of mauve. This is another one that can be both ellegant and edgy. The color seems buildable, though I needed 3 coats for full opacity, BUT I didn't use a base coat since I was in a hurry. Here are some pictures:
I think it's Nr...361? And on the nails:
I feel it's my duty to apologize for the sloppy quality once again. Did you try this polish or do you know a similar weird color? What did you think about it?
