  • Fav nail polish color: Rimmel London “Berries and Cream”

    Fav nail polish color: Rimmel London “Berries and Cream”

    Over the years I got quite the “collection” of nail polish colors. Almost 10 years ago I saw this photo and I thought it looked very nice and I must have something similar to it.

    I didn’t get the cat, but I got the nail polishes 😀

    Anyhow, years passed, many little bottles went to trash, others took their places, but I realized (as I’m sure most girls do) that I only use one or two colors, while the others rest unused until they dry out.

    The nail polish color I used most was a dark “browny” red from a local brand and it was really bad, chipped instantly and turned yellow my nails. But it didn’t matter. I bought this little bottle over and over again because I liked the color so much.

    Somehow I discovered a very similar nail polish color from Rimmel London (60 Seconds Super Shine).

    I was so happy to discover this nail polish. It does have a few advantages:

    • It drys quickly (but definitely not in 60 seconds as it is written on the bottle, I’ve wrote an entire article about the 60 seconds problem here);
    • It doesn’t turn the nails yellow;
    • It doesn’t chip easily;
    • It is shiny and looks nice.

    Rimmel London calls this color “Berries and Cream”. It’s a nice name :D. And the number is 340.

    Since I’m so in love with this color and I’ve been using it for so many years now, I might try to find an even better nail polish (same color, obviously). A friend used a similar nail polish from Sephora, but it wasn’t as good as the Rimmel. It chipped instantly.

    I would like a nail polish that would dry even faster and would be kinder to my nails. But until I find this perfect nail polish, I stick with my all time favorite Rimmel London Berries and Cream. ❤

  • Bronze Age Blazer & Other Clothing Items

    Bronze Age Blazer & Other Clothing Items

    Some time ago I came across an article on the internet about some new bronze age items discovery.

    I don’t remember if there were some skeletons as well, but what caught my attention was the clothing.

    I was amazed by the bronze age fashion style, especially by the clear cut blazer:

    The blouse and the skirt didn’t strike me as much as the blazer. But the blazer is really amazing, it’s almost modern times.

    The fashion style of this blazer shows deep concern towards both aesthetics and functionality of ancient people. This leads to the fact that bronze age people weren’t as primitive as some modern persons might think. I for one believe they were pretty advanced.

     

  • Why is Nina Hagen so cool?

    Why is Nina Hagen so cool?

    Nina Hagen is one of the most iconic female singers of all time.

    She has been ruling the punk scene for like 50 years.

    If you haven’t heard about her, here is she singing in one of her concerts:

    There are 2 things I particularly love about Nina Hagen:

    1. She is very original with her clothing style;
    2. She has kept her style over the years.

    She is also known for her outrageous behavior. For instance, here is Nina showing on Live TV how a woman can reach orgasm…

    I find it absolutely amazing and worthy of appreciation that she is the same person she was 40-50 years ago. Take a look at her interviews nowdays and you will see the same rebel punk girl she was a few decades ago. This means she has always been true to herself and, of course, true to the world.

    Also, there is this EXTREMELY COOL cover of Rammstein’s “Seemann”: instruments by Apocalyptica and vocals by Nina Hagen 😍

    A lot of “rebel” teens end up ordinary boring middle-aged people. They renounce so easily their older self and they integrate so easily into the ordinary world they used to reject and condemn. This means they weren’t true. They were a forgery. An illusion. Plain marketing. Or whatever.

    But Nina Hagen kept her style despite getting older, being a mom of two children, getting rich and famous and so on. For this very reason I find her truly inspiring.

  • How to get cute white nails with white polish

    How to get cute white nails with white polish

    I am no nail expert and my skills at applying nail polish are rather questionable, but I do like how these white nails came out, so I thought I might share it with you guys.

    So, how did I do it?

    A lot of people are reticent about white polish because it might not be sufficiently opaque, but a good white nail polish will do the job.

    I bought the Rimmel London White polish and I applied only 2 coats. They were enough to perfectly cover the nail.

    Also, the polish lasted a lot, almost one week, which is amazing considering that usually my nail polish lasts just a few days (Rimmel London as well).

    One more thing. What I liked about this particular white nail polish is that it contained just a little bit of sparkle, sufficiently enough not to make my nails look as if they were painted with white correction pen.

    🙂 LOL

     

  • Sophia Thomalla’s funny pink rabbit hat

    Sophia Thomalla’s funny pink rabbit hat

    Sophia Thomalla is a German socialite. She is 28 y.o. and despite the age gap, she was Till Lindemann’s girlfriend and then Gavin Rossdale’s. She has a lot of tattoos and one of them is Till’s face tattooed on her arm. Pretty strange I’d say…

    Anyhow, her infamous tattoo is not the point of this post. The point is her extremely funny hat I’ve seen on her Facebook page. She looks happy with this hat and I would love to have one. I wonder where she bought it from…

    Look how cute is this pink rabbit hat! ❤

    I think Sophia Thomalla is a really nice girl and I hope in the future she will do something more “real” than just some TV appearances and being skinny. Maybe she will get into acting or singing, or painting…

  • A wonderful butterfly dress worn by Penny Coomes

    A wonderful butterfly dress worn by Penny Coomes

    Last weekend I saw a live transmission of the ISU EUROPEAN FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPSŽ 2018 from Moscow.

    I like watching figure skating because I find it very relaxing. I love the smooth sliding on the ice, the beautiful music, the elegant movements and the amazing costumes. Talking about amazing costumes, there was one with which I fell in love with!

    ice skating
    Sorry for the blurry photo, but it is a print screen of the video.

    It was warn by the ice dancer Penny Coomes (if you would like to follow her, check her Instagram account) from Great Britain, when she performed a beautiful dance with her partner Nick Buckland. The music was Muse – Butterflies and Hurricanes and Penny was supposed to be the butterfly and Nick the hurricane.

    Her dressed looked like a butterfly, with 2 beautiful wings in the back. The colors were beautiful: deep blue, misterios violet and mesmerizing black with sweet glitter and white dots.

    It seems that they’ve been performing this dance for a while and Penny used to wear another dress:

    This dress is nice too, but the Moscow dress is clearly more beautiful, she really looked as a butterfly…

    Here is the whole video (the only recording I could find). I hope that by watching it you will get a better idea about this wonderful dress:

    I wonder who is the designer of this dress… I would love to wear it! ❤
