Swatch : Zoya Isabel





Those pictures were taken outside. I found this was the best way to capture the "redness" of this polish! It looked darker in the bottle than it is in reality. At the beginning, that annoyed me a little bit until I looked at my hands in the sun...BAM ! glittery, gorgeous nails appeared from nowhere ...
I first bought this color because I thought it would be a nice red to wear at work...But I am not sure it's office appropriate finally....What do you think ? Red shoes are hot with a black suit. Is it working the same for nail polishes ? ... May be I'll look like a Xmas tree in April (Funny but tempting !...)

Have a nice Sunday

Pin up look : red lips, not for me !


Sometimes, make up is about failure too ...the pin up look is a classical one, so pretty ! but (big sigh !), red is not a color for my anorexic lips ! You can worry about my anorexic lips, poor little things lost in a totally non anorexic body ;-)
So I wipe off the red, back to my beloved glosses (how many glosses are too many ?) and head back to the kitchen where I am gonna perform the best apple crumble ever ...Not just my incredible talent as a cook but just follow the instructions from this goldmine of a site and hello heaven :

Bon appetit !

nails!


























Big discovery for me : Sally Hansen Hard as nails Xtreme wear nailpolishes rock ! They are ridiculously cheap but surprisingly gorgeous ....So here we go :

Grape idea : dusty rose quite sheer, you need to apply 3 coats but worth the hard job ....

Red carpet : amazing red with sparkles

I just bought other colors : a silver and a glittery one , I'll keep you posted if they are as gorgeous as their little friends ....
