China Glaze Flyin’ High versus Custom Kicks

As soon as I painted my nails with Flyin’ High from the new China Glaze collection, I knew it reminded me of something. I thought about Custom Kicks, although I read on a another blog (can´t remember where) that these aren´t very close. So I thought a little comparison could help :) I think these two are simmilar except of the gold shimmer that Custom Kicks has. Still, I love both of these polishes!

Hned jak jsem si nalakovala nehty Flyin’ High z nové kolekce China Glaze, něco mi připomínal. Napadl mě Custom Kicks, přestože jsem někde na jiném blogu (už nevím kde) četla že moc podobné nejsou. Nafotila jsem tedy malé srovnání, které vám snad pomůže :) Podle mě teda tyhle laky podobné jsou, samozřejmě kromě zlatavých odlesků, které Custom Kicks má.

SHOCKING PINK

These are acrylic nails in shocking pink and black onyx with 3d acrylic hearts. I used nail polish to paint the swirls.

These nails have clay dots and conversation hearts.

China Glaze Peachy Keen (Up & Away Collection 2010)

Peachy Keen is a light peach creme. Again I have two coats. I am really glad I got this one because I didn´t have a truly peach polish. I have to admit that I am not used to colors like this but I find myself liking it a lot. It makes me feel positive and I can´t wait for spring to arrive. For now this is all I have from the Up & Away Collection but don´t worry, the quality of these polishes and the colors impressed me so much that I had to buy a few more! Love China Glaze!

Peachy Keen je světle meruňková krémovka. Jako obvykle, mám dvě vrstvy. Jsem opravdu ráda, že jsem tenhle lak dostala, protože žádný meruňkový jsem do té doby neměla. Musím se přiznat, že na takovéhle barvičky vůbec nejsem zvyklá, přesto se mi ale líbí a umím si představit, že si ji někdy vezmu. Je to hrozně pozitivní barvička. To je vše, co pro vás z kolekce Up & Away mám. Snadné lakování a hezké barvičky téhle kolekce mě ale uchvátily natolik, že jsem si ještě pár odstínů koupila! Miluju China Glaze!

Anyway, just a few more days before valentines and that is also the day of our wedding anniversary, so I decided to do something sweet, a Strawberry Milkshake look mani.

PERFECTLY PINK

This is my "perfectly pink" client. She loooooves pink so these nails are perfect for her. I custom mixed a glitter just for her. I named the glitter mix "cindie". Super cute nails for a super cute client!

These nails are acrylic in shocking pink and nebula. This client was a little shocked by the shocking pink but I think this might just be the start of her future pink nails.

China Glaze Grape Pop (Up & Away Collection 2010)

I am starting to repeat myslef but again here we have a polish that I like very much. This time it is no suprise as it is a beautiful purple. This is a very nice rich purple creme but not as dark as Orly Wild Wisteria. It took just two coats for full opacity and applied so well. What a great way to start the weekend!

Začínám se už opakovat, ale dnes vám znovu ukazuju lak, který se mi moc líbí. Tentokrát to není až tak velké překvapení, protože je to fialka. Krásná krémová fialka. Není ale tak tmavá jako Orly Wild Wisteria. Pro plné krytí stačily dvě vrstvy a nanášel se hladce. Skvělý způsob, jak začít víkend!

China Glaze Flyin’ High (Up & Away Collection 2010)

I love teal polishes and I love China Glaze. So it is not a suprise that I love this polish. It is a little bit greener than on my pictures, but not very much. I used two coats. The formula is slightly streaky but nothing major. This will for sure be one of my favourites for this sping!

Zbožňuju tyrkysové laky a stejně tak mám ráda i China Glaze. Takže asi nikoho nepřekvapí, že jsem nadšená i z tohoto laku. V eskutečnosti je trošku víc dozelena, než na mých fotkách, ale ne příliš. Mám dvě vrstvy a lakování bylo vpohodě, ikdyž lak je trošku řidší a v první vrstvě se trošku nerovnoměrně nanáší. Určitě jeden z favoritů letošního jara!

Coming Up: Part of China Glaze Up & Away Collection

China Glaze was kind enough to send me a little taste of their new spring collection. The colors I got look great! I really feel like spring has come when I look at the bottles. I will swatch these asap so stay tuned for the pictures and review :)

V China Glaze byli tak milí, že mi poslali malou ochutnávku jejich nové kolekce. Barvičky, které vybrali vypadají perfektně! Když tak koukám na lahvičky, mám pocit, že jaro je tu. Brzo je nafotím, tak se těšte na fotky a moje dojmy :)

Parallel Race

Hi, just a quick post for my NOTD, I really like the design I made, but the real shade of the colors were not shown in the picture, maybe because my camera could not recognize the color, or maybe my background lighting conflicts with the camera flash. Whatever the reason I don't really know. It's more attractive in actual. Too bad I can't share it with you guys. I love the amisy F05 design.

When you see my mani what comes first into your mind? Do you like it?

I used neon green,pink and blue bnc nail polish

amisy F05 image plate

elf black n.p for stamping

HOPE YOU LIKE IT..

WARNING!

This is a warning to all of my clients: I just went a little crazy buying new nail art stuff. It may be even harder to choose what you want on your nails at your next appointment but don't worry, they will be super cool!
On these nails I used glitter from sparklesnailproducts.com.

I created little 3d acrylic flowers all over these nails.

This is a mix of clear glitter I created that I named "Brandy" after a super cool client of mine!

Orly Ginger Lily (Bloom Collection 2010)

The last Orly polish I have for you is Ginger Lily. This is not a creme, it has shimmer. I don´t like this one much, I think it doesn´t look very nice on me but I know a lot of you out there will love it. I used two coats and as with the previous polishes, no application problems. What I really love about Orly polishes is their rubber cap, it is so easy to handle, open and close. I hope you enjoyed these Orly polishes as much as I did :)

Poslední lak od Orly, který pro vás mám je Ginger Lily. Tentokrát to není krémovka, má jemné odlesky. Upřímně, se mi tenhle lak moc nelíbí. Mám pocit, že mi nesluší, ale jsem si jistá, že spousta z vás z něj bude nadšená. Mám zase klasicky dvě vrstvy a stejně jako předešlé Orly láčky, ani s tímhle nebyly problémy. Co mám na Orly lacích nejradši je jejich pogumovaný uzávěr. Skěle se s ním manipuluje. Doufám, že jste si ty Orly laky užili stejně jako já :)

SPONGEBOB RECREATION

Hi, when I first saw the blog " The Daily Nail " , I was so impressed. That is really creative, I love all her creations, freehand design is very difficult, and yet she does it everyday... Congrats to her, she reached more than a thousand followers. She's having a giveaway contest, you have to visit her site for more details, you have to select your favorite daily nail, and recreate it, I chose her "Ohh who lives in pineapple under the sea? Sponge-bob square-pants! " design ... Because, first, my son likes spongebob so much and we are avid fun of that cartoon, he makes Jaem laugh... tayayyayyay... =) Everyday, we watch the spongebob episode.. hehehe

So here it is... Hope you like it...

Orly Wild Wisteria with CND Raspberry Sparkle

As I promised, today I have for you a little layering experiment I did. The CND effects are made for layering on creme polishes and now that I have these beautiful Orly cremes, I gave them a try. As you can see the effect is really amazing (I used just one coat)! Sadly I had no sun so you can not see the full beauty of this mani.

Jak jsem slíbila, dnes pro vás mám menší pokus s vrstvením. CND effects jsou určené právě na krémové laky. A když už konečně mám krásné krémové laky od Orly, musela jsem to hned vyzkoušet. Jak vidíte, ten efekt je úžasný (a to jsem použila jen jednu vrstvu)! Škoda, že zrovna nesvítilo sluníčko a já vám nemůžu ukázat, jak dokonalé to bylo.

Orly Wild Wisteria (Bloom Collection 2010)

Purple!!!!! Thank you so much Orly for sending me this purple!! Ok, I have to calm down :) But you all know what a big purple addcit I am and until now I didn´t have a single creme purple! Impossible. Wild Wisteria is a dark purple creme but not too dark. It doesn´t look black. It is opaque nearly in one coat but I did two. I tried layernig some CND effects on this one but that is another story :) wait for next time.

Fialová!!! Moc moc děkuju Orly, že mi tuhle fialku poslali!! Tak a teď už bych se mohla uklidnit :) vy ale všichni víte, jaký velký závislák na fialové jsem. Neuvěřitelné, ale doteď jsem žádnou krémovou fialovou neměla. Wild Wisteria je krémová tmavá fialová, ale ne příliš tmavá. Nevypadá černě. Kryje skoro v jedné vrstvě, já jsem ale použila dvě. Taky jsem na ni zkusila CND effects, ale o tom zase někdy příště :) jen si počkejte.
