OPI Purple-opolis (Greek Isles Collection 2004)

Another old but beautiful OPI polish. I bought this one because of the name and because it is from the greek collection. But that doesn´t mean I don´t like the color, a beautiful purple shimmer. It needs three coats for full coverage. Look how gorgeous it is:

Well, this beauty was screaming "matify me!" so I did :) I used ManGlaze Matte Astrophe. And as you can see, it didn´t cracle. It cracles only if you use it on a fresh mani, this was applied a few hours after. So which look do you like more?

Fuggen Ugly Hot Mess!

Hi all!

A very quick post today with just my NOTD of today. I will do a full review with more (and decent) pics somewhere later this week.

Michèle from Lacquerized was so sweet to order some ManGlazes for me a while ago. Unfortunately, my bottle of Fuggen Ugly would not open! I tried everything, but the bottle was fuggen stuck. I told Marc from ManGlaze and he offered to send me a new bottle ♥!! Talking about great CS :D Anyway, I got my new bottle in yesterday and it opened! So I thought I might as well put it on.

ManGlaze Fuggen Ugly two coats on every nail (with a thin coat of Nubar Diamont) and two coats of Hot Mess on my ringfinger. Ain't that sweet? I'm really diggin' the combination!

That's all for today dear reader, I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi all!

Today I have a short post for you, but I like it so I hope you will too.

ManGlaze Matte is Murder with one coat of Nubar Diamont and China Glaze Awaken for stamping. I used M70 to stamp, it's one of my newer plates - I ordered a bunch of plates with mostly full nail images. I really like the contrast with this one, but I think it doesn't pop Matte is Murder as much as it deserves.. But I do think these two make a lovely combination.

It Doesn't Get Any Matter Than This!

Hi all!

So today I have something awesome for you! Dear Michèle was so kind to order me a few bottles of ManGlaze as well when she placed her order <3 so I have my first ManGlaze to share with you today! Curious? I thought so! On to the pics..

ManGlaze Matte is Murder, two coats in daylight. This is the best matte black ever! It doesn't get any more matte than this.. Most dark mattes are more of a charcoal or grey color, but this one really is super matte black. This is only two coats and they went on really smoothly without dragging or leaving bald spots.

You know me well enough to know that I can't go by any matte polish without putting some topcoat on it..

ManGlaze Matte is Murder with one coat of Nubar Diamont. Look at it! Isn't this gorgeous? Matte is Murder has a very pretty shimmer in it that makes it also interesting to look at when it's glossy.

See what I mean? This rocks!

This is the best matte polish that I ever tried and I like this even better than my Orly Iron Butterfly - which is definitely in my top 3 polishes. It's super duper matte and very easy to work with so I can't do anything else than love this..

ManGlaze can be purchased at www.manglaze.com and they also ship outside the US!

Thanks for stopping by!

Yesterday I had time to play with my polishes a bit more, so I tried to do a ruffian mani using Color Club Ultra Violet and ManGlaze Matte is Murder. I have never made one before, so as one could expect, it ended up as a major fail :( Well nobody is perfect. I tried to hide the imperfections with some stamping and actually like it like this a lot!

What do you think? Any tips and tricks how to do a nice ruffian are welcome :)

ManGlaze Week Day 5: Matte-Astrophe and other matte top coats

I am sure you are wondering what is the difference between Matte-Astrophe and other matte top coats. Well I have some pictures for you :) The polish that I am showing you this on is China Glaze Skate Night.

Určitě vás zajímá jaký je rozdíl mezi Matte-Astrophe a jinými zmatňujícími nadlaky. Dnes pro vás mám nějaké fotky, které snad pomůžou :) Pro ukázku jsem použila lak China Glaze Skate Night:

ManGlaze Week Day 4: Hot Mess

Today I want to show you another ManGlaze product. With Hot Mess you can change your mani really quick and it looks very nice. I tried it on black and on a dusty rose. But there are million cominations you can try.

Dnes vám chci ukázat další lak od ManGlaze. S Hot Stuff můžete proměnit staré lakování a dát mu úplně nový vzhled. Já jsem tenhle nadlak vyzkoušela na černou a hnědorůžovou. Kombinací je ale spousta, určitě se s ním nebudete nudit.

ManGlaze Week Day 3: Nail Art with Matte-Astrophe

Today I have some nail art for you. I started with China Glaze Joy as a base and then layered with Color Club Wild and Willing. This polish is really special, just look at the effect. Then I stamped with China Glaze Joy and image plate M63. At the end I put Matte-Astrophy. This time it didn´t cracle. How do you like this? :)

Dnes pro vás mám nějaký ten nail art. Jako základ jsem použila China Glaze Joy a na něj jsem dala jednu vrstvu Color Club Wild and Willing. Tenhle lak je opravdu výjimečný, jen se podívejte na to, jaký dělá efekt. Dneska jsem ale řádila ještě víc a orazítkovala zase China Glaze Joy a destičkou M63. Nakonec jsem ještě přidala Matte-Astrophy, který tentokrát nepopraskal. Jak se vám to líbí? :)

ManGlaze Week Day 2: Matte-Astrophe on Nfu Oh

Matte-Astrophe is a clear top coat that turns any polish matte. This one is not the same as other matte top coats out there. It cracles on some polishes :) I find that really cool! So today I want to show you the effect on Nfu Oh. I did a base coat with China Glaze Awaken and then used my Nfu Oh flakie polishes 45, 50, 52 and 51. Just look at the effect!

Matte-Astrophe je průhledný nadlak, který zmatní jakýkoliv lak. Není ale stejný, jako ostatní nadlaky na trhu. Tento na některých lacích vytvoří velmi efektní popraskání :) Dneska vám teda chci ukázat, jak to vypadá na Nfu Oh. Jako základní lak jsem použila China Glaze Awaken a na něj šupinkové laky Nfu Oh 45, 50, 52 a 51. Výsledek je úžasný!

ManGlaze Week Day 1: Matte Is Murder

As I promised, this week will be ManGlaze week! I am starting with their new improved black matte nail polish which replaced The Death Tar. Matte is Murder is a very black matte with shimmer. It was very easy to work with, applied smoothly and evenly (not like the OPI matte collection which was a disaster) and needed just two coats. As all matte polishes even this one dries quick, but you have enough time for your application. In fact I think these are the best mattes I tried. I am really impressed with the quality and the matte effect! This polish is just perfect on its own, but I am also showing it to you with a top coat. You can buy it here for an evil price $6.66.

Jak jsem slíbila, tento týden bude ve znamení ManGlaze! A začínám s jejich novým vylepšeným matným černým lakem, který nahradil The Death Tar. Matte Is Murder je temná černá s malinkýma třpytečkama. Snadno se s ním pracovalo, rovnoměrně a hladce se nanášel (ne jako katastrofální matná kolekce od OPI) a stačily dvě vrstvy. Stejně jako všechny matné laky, i tenhle velmi rychle zasychá. Celkově jsem kvalitou a výsledným efektem ohromena! Přestože je lak dokonalý sám o sobě, mám pro vás ještě fotky s průhledným nadlakem. Lak můžete zakoupit zde za ďábelskou cenu $6.66.
