OPI Live and Let Die

Hey girls!
I am wearing this color at the moment. It is from the OPI Skyfall collection. This Live and Let Die polish is a creamy shade of dark green with gold shimmers in it. I was not sure whether to buy it or not. It looks interesting in the bottle but I wasn't sure if I would wear it often. I am so happy now that I bought it, because it is gorgeous. It looks stunning on the nails. It looks almost black from a distance but when you looks more closely you can see that it is dark green with shimmers. I think that it is a great thing, because you can wear it with almost every outfit. Okay, I will stop here. Enjoy the pictures.
Oh, almost forgot. I painted my nails five days ago and they haven't chipped at all.  And also you can easily get along with only one coat.



Have a nice day!

Rimmel London Lasting Finish lip pencil in Indian Pink

Hey girls!
I wanted to show you my favorite lip of the moment. I think this color is perfect for autumn and winter and also for holidays. I used only this lip pencil and nothing more. Of course you can use a similar lipstick on top of it, or a lip gloss, but I love this color and I like my lips to be mat especially if they are in bright color. I don't like when my hair sticks to the gloss and all that jazz.
I think that this color is gorgeous and it will suit all skin tones. This lip liner is very affordable as well and great quality. I will check out more of these Lasting Finish lip pencils.

The Balm - Balm Jovi Rockstar Face Palette

Hey girls!
I wanted to show you this amazing palette. This is going to be a big blog post with a lot of picture, because I just love this palette so much. I saw this one in one of emilynoel83 videos in youtube, so I had to have it!
It's my first purchase from The Balm. I can't buy it here in Latvia, so I purchased it online from feelunique.com for 34£. I think that this would be a great gift for a friend or sister. And it is totally worth the money.

Lote is almost in every picture, so I hope you like cats! 

 Very colorful and crazy packaging. 
As you can see it is quite big but very thin.

It has very lovely heart shaped mirror inside. 

 Amazing picture

 So, palette has 12 eye shadows inside, blush, highlighter an two lip/cheek colors. 

 These are the lip colors and as you can see there is also a small guide how to make some looks. 

This is how the palette looks totally opened. 

And now the swatches:

These four colors are called HEAVY METAL

from left to right: Metal-ica, Iron Maid-in, Lead Zeppelin, Alice Copper

These four are called Classical
From left to right: Presto, Moderato, Allegro, Adagio
And the last four are called Alternative
From left to right: Third eye blinded (can't really see this one), rem, The Stroke, Blink 1982
 Solid Gold highlighter (the same as Mary-Lou Manizer) and Don't You Want Me? blush (the same as Frat Boy)
And last but not least the lip colors: Milly and Vanilly

I think that this palette is a must have. The eye shadows are very pigmented and super smooth. We have here some matte shadows as well as shimmery ones.We have here some highlight colors, crease colors and also some very  extraordinary ones like Alice Copper, Lead Zeppelin, rem etc. All of these colors are gorgeous.And the blush, and the highlighter. I can't say enough for this palette. 
For me the best thing about this palette is it's packaging. So colorful an contains so much stuff inside, but still not very bulky. Also the price is very appropriate. 
Almost forgot to mention the names, but I guess you already noticed. Everything is well-considered.
I will stop here. I have pain in my fingers from typing so much and so fast. lol 
See you soon girls.

OPI - You callin' me a lyre?

Hello girls!
As you can see in photos below my nails are shortened. When I cut them so short I always paint them with this OPI - You callin' me a lyre? nail polish. It is from OPI New York City Ballet collection.
I love this color. As you can guess it's extremely sheer, that's the reason why I use this polish only when my nails are really short, because I don't like how it looks on long nails.
I think that my hands look really clean and elegant with this nail polish on. Every girl should own similar color like this.




Kisses!

OPI - Die Another Day

Hey guys!
I haven't write anything in weeks. It's because my camera was not with me, so I couldn't take any pictures. I have a lot of things to share. Today it will be one of my nail polishes from the OPI Skyfall collection.
At first, I wasn't sure about this one. When I looked up all the photos of polishes from this collection in other blogs I was not impressed with this one. Everyone loved it, so I had to give it a try. Also maybe because I didn't buy the Golden eye, so I had to get one instead. So I bought it and I really like it. It is shimmery orange-red. There is nothing special about it, but it looks quite lovely and it goes with every outfit. Maybe not every, but you get what I mean. It really is holiday polish. Great for winter and fall time. I think that I'm not gonna wear it in spring. Then I take out all my crazy polishes like yellow, pink, green, blue. But for winter, this polish is great for everyday basis.
There is one thing about this polish that I love. You can easily get away with only 1 coat. I used 2 coats, because that's what I always do, but if you are in a hurry, it's great to have this kind of polish.




Have a nice day. See you tomorrow.
