Urban Outfitters Nail Polish Ringo: Neon Yellow

This is 3 coats of Ringo, love the color but the formula is a bit streaky. If you are not bother about having to apply 3 coats and want a real neon yellow get this, price is quite cheap I got mine in Urban Outfitters in the States for $5 I'm guessing over here they will be about €5. I got also a few more colors I will be showing you as soon as I use them.
What do you think about neon nails??

DIY Chalkboard Manicure

Well here are the results!! What do you think? I'm pretty happy with it! :) So I guess in the end I won't have to buy the Ciate chalkboard mani kit ;). 
This chalk look its very easy to achieve with 2 basic products that you might already have in your stash: black nail polish & a matte top coat.
Here is what I've used:

Base color:
-Bourjois So Laque! Noir de chine
- Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Himalayan Blue
"Chalk" color for designs:
- Nails Inc Nothing hill gate
- Konad Special Nail polish White, Black and Yellow
Top coat:
Rimmel Matte Finish Top Coat
You will also need a little brush for the designs, I've used a cheap eyeliner brush here  Hope you like them!

DIY Manicura Pizarra


Bueno pues aquí está el resultado!! Que os parece? Yo estoy super contenta conforme han quedado! :). Así que al final supongo que no hace falta que me compre el kit de Ciate de la manicura pizarra ;). 
Este look tiza/ pizarra es muy facil de conseguir sólo necesitas dos productos básicos que puede que incluso ya los tengas en tu colección: esmalte de color negro & una top coat con efecto mate.

Lo que yo he utilizado:
Color Base:
-Bourjois So Laque! Noir de chine
- Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Himalayan Blue
Color de la "tiza" para los diseños::
- Nails Inc Nothing hill gate
- Konad Special Nail polish Blanco, Negro y Amarillo
Top coat:
- Rimmel Matte Finish Top Coat
Necesitarás también un pequeño pincel para pintar la diseños yo he utilizado una brocha barata de eyeliner.

Espero que os gusten!

Ciate Chalkboard Manicure

A kit to turn your nails into chalkboard-style fashion statements. 

How it works? First apply a coat of the black Matte polish, then release your inner child and doodle with your choice of Chalk Pen on top the black coat for a cute classroom look. The Chalk Pens have been cleverly formulated as water-soluble, allowing water to wash them away. The Mattnificent top coat seals the chalk onto the nail.

This kit is in my whishlist, i was planning to buy it in sephora next week when i'm in NYC, but i've been thinking in the last couple of days that it could be very easy to make a DIY version of this kit, i'm gonna try and do it this weekend and i'll show you the results! :) if they are good i won't bother buying this kit, it Will save me $25 ;)

Ciate Manicura Pizarra

Un kit que transforma tus uñas estilo Pizarra como fashion statements.
Cómo funciona? Primero se aplica una capa de color negro mate, luego deja al niño que llevas dentro garabatear con tu elección de boli-tiza encima del negro, para un acabo muy mono look colegiala. Los boli-tiza han sido formulados solubles al agua, asi que si te equivocas es muy fàcil de corregir. La top coat Matificante ayudará a sellar la tiza en la uña. Este kit es parte de mi whislist, y estaba planeando conprarlo la semana que viene en Sephora (ya que estaré en NYC), pero en estos últimos días he estado pensando que podría ser bastante fácil hacer una versión DIY de este kit. Así que voy ha probar este fin de semana y a ver que sale! Os enseñaré los resultados a ver que os parece ;) y si son buenos me parece que pasaré de comprar el kit y así me ahorro $25 ;)

OPI Euro Centrale: Euro Minis

I was so excited waiting for this lovely to arrive! It's the Euro Minis, from the new collection Euro Centrale by OPI. I ordered this last weekend from ASOS when they had a 10% off promo, think it was £12.50.  The Euro Centrale collection consist of 12 new polishes for spring/summer 2013.
The ones you get with this mini collection are:

Can't Find my Czechbook: bright aqua blue, nice and opaque with 2 coats
Suzi's Hungary AGAIN!: very summery watermelon pink, loving the shade but not the formula, super streaky! My swatch is with 4 coats! :(
You're Such a BudaPest: very pretty lavender blue/ purple, a bit streaky again, you'll need 3 coats for full opacity
OY-Another Polish Joke!: Yellow Gold shimmer, think it will be very nice for summer! :) my swatch is with 3 coats. Also it could be use as a top coat ;)

Overall I like this collection, the colors are very nice, the only dissapointing part is some of the formulas, since they are so streaky you need loads of coats to get a nice finish.
