#RedCoatTuesday - Super Fast Fun Gradient

Hello lovelies!

Excited to see tonight's episode of Pretty Little Liars? I am!!! I did a very quick and easy mani for today:

Paris Memories 297 - Swatch & Review

Hello!

I already showed you three Paris Memories polishes a little while ago. My mom gave me five of them, so here is the fourth :) Number 297. The nice thing about these polishes is that they are very cheap. And as you can see, they are quite decent. Full coverage in 2 coats and no difficulties with application at all. The wear time was only one day though, which is even short for me! But hey, for such prices, that is ok. It is quite pretty:

It's a nice olive coloured base with a gold shimmer that makes it switch between olive green and khaki. I put on star studs from Action (store) on the accent nail to give it a sort of army look. I quite enjoyed it. It has my approval!

Swatch-It Sunday: Paris Memories 236, 240, 289 & My First Helmer

Hello lovelies!

Sorry, I have been MIA for a while. I missed Friends on Friday, again! I will make it up to you next week. Tonight I do however have some swatches for you, so feast you eyes on that! They are from 3 pretties form Paris Memories, a budget-friendly make-up brand. My mother gave them to me :) She also gave me a Helmer to put them in! <3 <3 <3

These are the pretties I swatched: 

Let's start with the mauve one, no. 240: 

It is very pretty, even prettier on the nails than in the bottle! 2 coats are enough to make it opaque. It is a bit tricky to even out the streaks though, as is common with these metallic finishes. But it is forgiven, given the way it makes your hands look all sophisticated. This I could wear alone to a job interview. Got another one of those coming up soon, so I will keep this in mind!

Next up is no. 289, a greyish blue metallic pretty. Same as the mauve, opaque in 2 coats and prettier on the nails than in the botttle! 

Finally I have no. 236, a black beauty. Opaque in 2 think coats and very good for nail art, like dotting and such, because of the high opacity.

Look at the reflection of the sky in the nails! Drool! ;) 

Now for some nail art with these 3 pretties:

Just a dotticure gradient :) This was photographed in the fading sunlight, in the last hours of a beautiful day :) 

Thanks mommie, for all the goodies!
