Amazing! But it will only look good on long nails. These manicure sets retail for £18.00 (that includes 1 polish and the beads).<br />

There are 3 colors to choose from: Rainbow, Mother of Pearl and Black Pearls. I think the black one is the prettiest.<br />

Unfortunately my best friend called me after work and asked me to join her at the local mall. Well, obviously I said yes and here's what happened:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-fJIaLa4yxVWr4rZihsxkjnIgCYVY52SocExXqzPg2mLDVhDV7QuLFYCmX6ftY3j42GPXQT20NwyeYA7Xs_7Nojt3pGLC7x9imlKRvIbPvUhtYCiRPPXK7yiTzu5cs5S9ak22onmeWFuW/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-fJIaLa4yxVWr4rZihsxkjnIgCYVY52SocExXqzPg2mLDVhDV7QuLFYCmX6ftY3j42GPXQT20NwyeYA7Xs_7Nojt3pGLC7x9imlKRvIbPvUhtYCiRPPXK7yiTzu5cs5S9ak22onmeWFuW/s640/3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I ended up buying few things. But all the things above were less than 40€! And I helped the economy. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I think the quality of these "Flormar" polishes is quite allright. Not very pigmented but you get full coverage after 3 coats. I've never heard of this brand before and they were on sale 2,50€ per polish. Not bad! On the right picture you can see the polishes on my nails. </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04667856629714908124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018543651366590985.post-37312502742824372072012-06-08T05:46:00.003-07:002012-06-08T10:24:56.778-07:00My favorite O.P.I nailpolishes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love O.P.I nailpolishes! They are long lasting, easy to apply and they come in amazing colors. Plus I love the funny names they have. Here are my top four polishes:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRdwXj4Z0oEWo6b8VJ_u9HESI7IeYhiLxiUxFtXZ_NUnMo5-1ReHxRmU1CEnnWgpL9jq0Qarznawnwe5twX7Cg9Ke7U8NIiX443ecttGLdtypPLRbBGE87aOujmF7vb-5q0fFeMARheTBa/s1600/opis.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRdwXj4Z0oEWo6b8VJ_u9HESI7IeYhiLxiUxFtXZ_NUnMo5-1ReHxRmU1CEnnWgpL9jq0Qarznawnwe5twX7Cg9Ke7U8NIiX443ecttGLdtypPLRbBGE87aOujmF7vb-5q0fFeMARheTBa/s1600/opis.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>#1 My Private Jet </b>I love glitter and dark colors on nails. When you combine these two, you get my favourite polish. This is a must have!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>#2 Blue My Mind</b> I used to hate blue and green nailpolishes, but after seeing this royal blue color I was sold. This one is colorful enough without being "over the top". I can even wear this at work with right clothes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>#3 Let Me Entertain You </b>This one came with the Burlesque collection. It's a bright fuchsia with a lot of glitter. Absolutely amazing!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>#4 Kyoto Pearl </b>The name already says it: this one will make your nails look like pearls.

It's the Ombre Eclat Eye Primer. Luckily I got it for a really cheap price from our airport staff outlet store. I remember I paid around 11€. Not bad. The retail price for this seems to be <a href="http://fi.strawberrynet.com/makeup/guerlain/ombre-eclat-eye-primer--smoothing/92904/#DETAIL">around 30€.</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmih6FYhkw_Lk8igHSAzYF1VsUk2C4luzzQRfbhbIrahtRnqZmiPQWQrFpGf3PfYbz4huMx14HVCAFtR5GljDglaPDOYCioRn8G-p3tXMd18lrpyUGG4wbAWAmlINx8sceOFHZZZ_-Toxl/s1600/Ombre+eclat.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmih6FYhkw_Lk8igHSAzYF1VsUk2C4luzzQRfbhbIrahtRnqZmiPQWQrFpGf3PfYbz4huMx14HVCAFtR5GljDglaPDOYCioRn8G-p3tXMd18lrpyUGG4wbAWAmlINx8sceOFHZZZ_-Toxl/s1600/Ombre+eclat.JPG" /></a></div>This product was a real disappointment! It was stiff, hard to apply on your lid and even the brush was terrible. I don't think it did any wonders or prevented my eyeshadow from creasing. Only good thing about this is the packaging: it's beautiful and very luxurious! But I would never buy this product again. Has anyone found this product to be useful? If yes, let me know.<br />

I've got the one above #29 Rue De Sevres. The colors are amazing, packaging is great but these colors crease like crazy. I have tried priming my eye lids with at least 5 different products, but nothing seems to help. Any ideas? At the end of the day my lids look and feel super greasy and it's such a shame because this palette is so gorgeous. It retails for <a href="http://fi.strawberrynet.com/makeup/guerlain/ecrin-6-couleurs-eyeshadow-palette/116889/#DETAIL">about 71€</a> which, again, is high price for eyeshadows. For that price I would expect something truly amazing. What a pity!

Only bad thing about it is definitely the price: Around $45 in the U.S and 38€ in France. Very expensive for a lipstick! Mine is almost finished.
