<i>Happy 2015, mates!</i><br />
<i>Yestarday has been the strangest New Year's Eve in my whole life. My granny suddenly passed away and I'm here, sitting on a chair, completely unsettled. I don't like talking about my private matters, 'cause I think that should be some neat line between my blogging life and the real one, but this would be an advertising post. I just need to be alone with myself.</i><br />
<i>I've imaginated an easy and careless post to share with you, but, alas, this is how the world turn.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I opened a new blog.</i><br />
<i>I keep writing here on The Happy Beauty Case, but focusing my post on make up. I started this adventure to write at 360° about make up, but little by little nail polishes and nail arts occupied the 95% of my posts.</i><br />
<i>So, because I need to focus myself into something, and because even messy people need neating their lives, I opened a brand new blog, <a href="http://chezmoifrancine.blogspot.it/">Chez Francine</a>. </i><br />
<i>I've thought a TON of new ideas to spend this brand new year together, I hope you shall keep following my crazy ideas! Update your browsers!</i><br />
<i>I have written a couple of posts for Chez Francine; this blog is on hiatus a date to be defined.</i><br />
<i>Have a wonderful 2015!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
So Long and Thanks for All the Fish!<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Acque pacate e dolci risate finché non ci rincontreremo</i>

<i>2014 is running out, just few hours and we could embrace a new year. I hope that 2015 could be a lovely dozen of joyful months, nice days and sparkling hours.</i><br />
<i>But, before we met our new year, let spend some moments to remember what I've done in the past twelve months, what I've love, what I'd done and what we have to await in the next year.</i><br />
<i>Ready?</i><br />
<i>Go!!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Il 2014 sta volgendo al capolinea. Ancora poche ore e ci ritroveremo fra le mani un anno nuovo di pacca, il 2015, che spero sia per voi composto di dodici mesi allegri, piacevoli giorni e ore scintillanti. Ma prima di gettarci alle spalle il vecchio e di spalancare le braccia al futuro, mi piacerebbe guardarmi inidetro e vedere che cos'ho combinato in quest'ultimo anno. Quali post mi sono piaciuti di più, insomma. E provare ad indovinare cosa bolle in pentola per l'anno che verrà.<br />
Pronti?<br />
Via!!<br />

<i>Hi there!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>I'm not dead (yet). Last week I've been in London, and it's been nice and cool</i><i> spending Christmas Days with my husband, my brother and my parents. London is such a gorgeous city, and every time I went over Thames branks </i><i>my love for London increases more and more and more</i><i>. It's an ongoing relationship.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Today I'm gonna show you the last nail art for the Winter Nail Art Challenge, and because NYE is coming, I want to share with you my NYE manicure.</i></div>

<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ciao a tutti!</div>
Non mi sono trasferita su Plutone, sono solo stata a Londra a trovare mio fratello e a trascorrere il natale sotto al Big Ben. Nonostante il mio inglese faccia pietà, io adoro Londra, ed ogni volta che sbarco sulle rive del Tamigi quest'amore cresce sempre di più. È una relazione tutt'ora in corso. Il mio unico cruccio è quello di poterci vedere poco. Pazienza.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oggi, per l'ultimo appuntamento del Winter Nail Art Challenge vi mostrerò la manicure che indosserò domani sera, per S. Silvestro. <i>2015 is coming!</i></div>

<i>This time I didn't used nail polishes, but acrylics.</i><br />
<i>I started painting my nails with two coats of my base coat (Sinful Color), then I layered a coat of Orly Matte Top to give a matte look to my nails. Then I used a single drop of black, burgundy and vermillion and I've used the fan brush to create a gradient effect.</i><br />
<i>Once the acrylics were dried, I used a coat of Orly Matte Top, then I drew some roses in white. Because roses are quite my trademark. Another coat of Matte Top and that's all.</i><br />
<i>Sadly, my camera made fits taking this pictures, so my photos suck. Really. I NEED a decent lightbox. Did you hear me, Santa?!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Questa volta non ho usato smalti, ma i colori acrilici.<br />
Sono partita con due mani di Sinful Colors Basecoat, che ho reso opaca con un velo di Orly Matte Top. Quindi, ho usato una goccia di nero, di borgogna e di vermiglione per creare un effetto gradient con il pennello a ventaglio. Quindi, dopo un'altra passata di Matte Top, ho disegnato le rose. Ovviamente in bianco. Perché le rose ed il bianco sono ormai il mio marchio di fabbrica. Un altro velo di Matte Top ed il gioco è fatto.<br />
Purtroppo, la mia macchina fotografica ha fatto i capricci, e stavolta le mie foto fanno davvero schifo (e non provate a convincermi del contrario). La verità è che ho bisogno di una lightbox decente. Capito, Befana?!<br />

<i>Here in Italy today is a holiday too, and we spend some time playing cards or bingo with family and friends (and eating A LOT!). Our sale's season starts on January, right after winter holidays.</i><br />
<i>The today's nail art is made following this lovely tutorial of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrf4YztZMqk">MrCandiipants</a>. It's a floral manicure. A spring one, and it's very strange because winter is just started, ah ah!</i><br />

First of all: sorry for my bad cuticles! Sadly, I've been out-of-town since today and I didn't have my cuticle cream or my cuticle oil. And the remover I used was bad, bad, BAD!<br />With bad weather and lack of time I took these pics after four days, and you could see both tip wear and chipping. Sigh! Why have I forgotten to add my top coat?!<br />It's not perfect - I know it - but I just wanted share this lovely nail art with you.</div>

I started painting my nails with three coats of OPI You are so vain-illa, from Coca Cola collection. It's a light beige I loved at very first sight. It's a little bit more brown toned than OPI My Vampire is buff, but, despite that, you need three coats for a full coverage.<br />
I painted my flowers using China Glaze Limelight ( a neon suede) and China Glaze That's Shore Bright (a bright crème). Actualy, this shade is more magenta than purple, but my camera changed it for no reason.<br />
If you want to replicate this lovely nail art, just follow the tutorial of Candice. She's so gifted, and very funny! I love her YouTube channel, just follow her too!<br />

<i>Have you been naughty or nice? Someone says that naughty is the new nice, and I agree. And because I've been naughty, tonight, I have waiting for Santa.

Buon Natale a tutte voi!</div>

Avete fatto le brave, o siete state biricchine? Qualcuno dice che le cattive ragazze vanno dappertutto, e siccome io sono una cattiva ragazza, stanotte ho voluto aspettare alzata l'arrivo di Babbo Natale. Peccato che io non abbia bevuto sufficiente caffè per restare sveglia e sia crollata miseramente. L'unica cosa che ho intravisto è stato un insieme di linee rosse ebianche. Voi che dite, è passato e me lo sono perso anche stavolta?<br />

<i>It's a little bit messy, but I like it, 'cause it reminds me the idea of something you could see IF you caught Santa leaves your home (after he put your presents under the Christmas tree!).</i><br />

Smalti utilizzati</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; display: none; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
China Glaze Make Some Noise<br />
Kiko 203 French White<br />
Kiko 203 French White Tips<br />
NYC 138 Classy-Glassy<br />
<br />
L'idea di base era quella di riprodurre una poinsettia usando i colori di Babbo Natale (seh!). Così ho steso due mani di Kiko 203 French White e ho alternato una goccia di Kiko French White Tips e di China Glaze Make Some Noise. Peccato che il risultato ricordasse più un gigantesco astice, che Babbo Natale, così ho avuto la malsana idea di sovrapporre a questa WM un'altra. Realizzata alternando Kiko Frenche White Tips al NYC Classy-Glassy.<br />
Il risultato non è precisissimo, ma mi piace l'idea di movimento che trasmette. È un po' quello che potresti vedere semmai cogliessi Babbo Natale mentre esce da casa tua (dopo che ha deposto i regali sotto all'abete!). Ora, sono la sola ad andare nel panico alla sola idea di qualcuno che entra in casa tua mentre tu dormi? No, vero?<br />
E anche per oggi è tutto. Io vi auguro un meraviglioso Natale, a voi e ai vostri cari. E non dimenticate di passare a trovare le mie compagne di viaggio!<br />
Grazie per essere passate e alla prossima.<br />
E ancora auguri!</div>

Qualcosa è cambiato in questo 2014. Non solo ho acquistato alcuni smalti viola, ma ne ho acquistati anche di marrone. Ora, a me il marrone piace, ma non sempre amo indossarlo.

<i>Kiko Quick Dry 813 Pearly Brown</i><br />
<i>Shaka Matt White</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i>Kiko 813 pearly brown is not a pearly nail polish, but it's a shimmer. This is my first Quick Dry and I have to say that it's true, it dries very fast! If you want to use it for a WM dunk your nails quickly. </i><br />
<i>I used two coats of Shaka Matt white as a base. Then, I poured some drops of yellow and brown shade in a cup of room temperature water, and I made a poinsettia shape with a central swirl (as you can see in my middle finger).</i><br />
<i>I'm so proud of this messy WM because it comes out exactly as I wanted it should be.</i><br />

<i>I'm currently on my vacation-time, and I hope someone would add my link to the linkup. I'll answer to your kind comments as soon as possible (after Boxing Day). Thank you for reading and have a nice day! And please pay a visit to my mates's blogs!</i><br />

Smalti utilizzati:<br />
Maybelline Super Stay 7 Days #22 Lookout Lemon<br />
Kiko Quick Dry 813 Pearly Brown<br />
Shaka Matt White<br />
<br />
Io non chiamerei "perlato" lo smalto Kiko 813 della linea Quick Dry, ma shimmer.<br />
Ad ogni modo, questa linea è 'quick' di nome e di fatto! Si spande bene in acqua, ma se decidete di usarla in una WM, lavorate velocemente la vostra figura ed immergete le unghie il prima possibile.<br />
Ho usato due mani di Shaka Matt White come base, ho creato una poinsettia alternando il giallo ed il marrone, ed ho aggiunto una spirale al centro - come potete notare, s'è trasferita quasi per intero sull'unghia del medio...<br />
Mi piace molto questa WM: non sarà apollinea, ma è venuta esattamente come volevo che fosse. Sono soddisfazioni!<br />
<br />
Attualmente sono in vacanza, per cui potrò rispondere ai vostri commenti appena torno alla base (dopo S. Stefano, non prima). Speriamo che qualche anima pia aggiunga il mio link all'elenco! Prima di tuffarvi nella bolgia dei regali di Natale, che ne direste di fare un salto a trovare le mie amichette di ventura?<br />
Grazie per essere passate e alla prossima!<br />

<i>This is a very difficult week for me. Monday we have seen the end of <a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/12/birthstone-challenge-12-december-barry.html">Birthstone Challenge</a> and today we are going to celebrate the end of EuRoPe. It's to hard to bear!</i><br />
<i>*snooze*</i><br />
<i>We have a variation on the theme, today, and the topic is the Europe. Aren't you curious to see what I have created?</i><br />
<i>What do you mean saying "NO!"?!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Questa è stata una settimana tosta. <a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/12/birthstone-challenge-12-december-barry.html">Lunedì</a> abbiamo salutato la bellissima esperienza della Birthstone Challenge, ed oggi diciamo addio a EuRoPe. Perché le cose belle dovono finire? Non è giusto!<br />
*si soffia il naso*<br />
Il tema odierno è l'Europa in quanto tale. Io non ho la più pallida idea di quello che creeranno le mie amiche, Ky esclusa, e non vedo l'ora di andare a sbirciare i loro blog. Ma prima, partiamo dal mio. Non siete curiosi di vedere cosa mi sono inventata stavolta?<br />
Come sarebbe a dire "NO!"?!<br />

<i>Because I'm on a tightrope (as usual!), I thought that a water marble could be the right answer to my needs (my needs were "A nice nail art" and "Something good to express the melted harmony we european people need"). So I have started painting my nails with one single coat of Kiko 355 Canary Yellow, a light yellow with a pale shimmer. I must to be honest and say that I dislike it, because it's not easy to apply at all. I suspect there's a hint of white inside this formula (it's a pastel shade, after all) and that makes things trickier. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Anyway, it spreads nicely in the water, so I'll use it again for water marbles.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>My two cent about Europe?<br />I think we should be more people. Because we are born from different countries but we share the same roots.We should melt ourselves, like these shades: there's always the yellow and there's always the... blurple, maybe? - but it's okay. They stand shoulder to shoulder. As we should be.</i></div>

Smalti utilizzati:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Kiko 355 Giallo Canarino</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Kiko 203 Bianco French Punte</div>

Zoya Neve</div>

Siccome sono di corsa (#saichenovità?), mi serviva qualcosa di pratico, facile e che esprimesse al meglio i miei bisogni (che erano, nella fatispecie, creare qualcosa di grazioso E qualcosa che suggerisse l'idea di mescolanza che l'Europa rappresenta), ed ho pensato che una classica water marble potesse salvare capra e cavoli.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Così ho preso Kiko 355 Giallo Canarino e ne ho steso una passata sulle mie unghiette. Devo dire che non mi piace. La formula, dico, perché il colore è grazioso, con un leggero shimmer in sottofondo. Ma si stende malissimo. Non collabora. Sicché, gli darò una seconda opportunità, ma credo lo userò per le WM, perché si apre a meraviglia a contatto con l'acqua.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In una ciotolina riempita di acqua del rubinetto (avevo finito l'acqua per il ferro da stiro!!) ho alternato Kiko 355, Kiko 203 (per due sole gocce, quello con l'applicatore per le punte french) e Zoya Neve, un meraviglioso blu/viola con uno shimmer spaziale. La Zoya lo definisce "zaffiro". Io sospetto possa essere un parente dell'indaco. Magari alla lontana, hai visto mai?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ho creato un disegno a linee e vi ho tuffato le unghiette dentro. Ta-dan!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Cosa penso dell'Europa?<br />Siamo popoli diversi, con storie diverse ed esperienze diverse: ma abbiamo radici comuni. E se guardiamo nella stessa direzione, non ci sono differenze che tengano. Dovremmo cercare di mescolarci meglio di come abbiamo fatto finora, come questo giallo e questo... blu? Coesistere. Fianco a fianco. Non mi pare sia impossibile, no?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
E con queste perle di saggezza (???) concludiamo EuRoPe. Speriamo che vi siate divertit* e che abbiato passate un piacevole autunno in nostra compagnia. Io voglio ringraziare le mie amicicie per essermi state accanto in quest'ennesima pazzia. Grazie di cuore. ♥</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Noi ci prendiamo una pausa, lameno per le vacanze invernali. Ci si sente dopo la Befana, grossomodo. E sì, ci copriamo! Dovessimo prendere freddo, in sella alla scopa!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Grazie per essere passati di qui. Vi auguro una buona serata, ma prima vi ricordo di fare un salto a trovare le mie amicicie epr vedere le loro ideuzze sull'Europa.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Alla prossima!<br />Ci conto!!</div>

<i>It's time to sing a song!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>My favourite Christmas Song is not a religious one (despite Adeste Fidelis is the best Christmas related song), but a very pop song released in 1984 by Band Aid: "Do They Know it's Christmas?". In 1984 Bob Geldof gathered a <span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302948px; line-height: 20.3636360168457px;">a</span> charity supergroup featuring mainly British and Irish musicians and recording artists.It was founded in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for anti-poverty efforts in Ethiopia by releasing the song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" for the Christmas market that year (according to Wikipedia). I was just a 7 years old little girl, but I loved so much this idea (because there are many of my music beloved in that group: Spandau ballet, George Michael, Duran Duran - and yes, you could easily recognize the Johhn Taylor's bass wave - and so on). This is my Christmas Song nail art, today.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Siete pronte? Siete calde?</div>

<i>Ánch'io!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ma oggi, per cantare una canzone natalizia (molto pop, me ne rendo conto) non chiamiamo Madonna, bensì, i ragazzi della BandAid, il supergruppo composto da Bob Geldof nel 1984 per incidere un singolo e dedicarne i proventi alla raccolta fondi contro la carestia che stava affliggendo l'Etiopia in quegli anni (non che adesso la situazione sia rose e fiori, tuttavia...). Io ero una ragazzina, nel 1984, eppure mi piacque tantissimo l'idea (anche perché vi avevano preso parte i miei ammmmmori dell'epoca, gli Spandau Ballet, George Michael, i Duran Duran - e si sente pUtente il basso di John Taylor, in sottofondo ♥). Per cui, in pieno amarcord, eccovi la mia nail art canterina.</div>

<i>Because BandAid is an all star group, I needed some start to show you. So I painted my nail using three (3) coats of China Glaze I'm not the Lion, a golden holo glitter from On Safari collection. I painted my ring with two coat of China Glaze Snow, and over a piece of wax paper I drew a Christmas Tree silhouette. I placed my sticker over the white base, I added the stars on the top usig a drop of IMNTL and the top coat. Ta-da!</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>I'm aware that a song couldn't mend the world, despite what the Band Ais sings, BUT I think we CAN change, if we want it. I was indecise about which song sing today, because my other fav song is John Lennon's "Merry Xmas (War is Over)". And this is the key. I believe we can save the world. It's up to US.</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
China Glaze I'm not the Lion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
China Glaze Snow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Wjcon LE Burlesque #10</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Poiché la Band Aid è un gruppo di supercalibri (o almeno lo era allora), avevo bisogno di qualcosa di stellare e luccicoso, ché siamo comunque a Natale. Così ho usato China Glaze I'm not the Lion, un holo glitter color oro della collezione On Safari e ho steso tre passate. Sull'anulare ho usato due mani di China Glaze Snow. Su un pezzo di carta da forno ho disegnato il profilo stilizzato di un abete usando WjCon LE Burlesque #10, e quando il mio disegno s'è asciugato l'ho piazzato sullo sfondo bianco. Una goccia di IMNTL per il puntale e via di top coat, a sigillare il tutto.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Manicure molto semplice, ma che lascia il segno.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So che questa canzone potrà sembrare strana, come scelta, ma credo che il natale debba essere un momento per dare e non solo per ricevere. Sarò un'inguaribile romantica, ma credo davvero che si possa cambiare il mondo. Basta solo volerlo. E non vi stupirete, a questo punto, quando vi dirò che l'altra canzone in lizza era "Merry Xmas (War is Over)" di John Lennon, vero?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Grazie per essere passati e buona serata!</div>

<i>When I was a child the best moment I </i><i>loved </i><i>during Christmas season was when we set up the Christmas tree on our granny's home. It was a plastic tree and I remember it taller than me, large, huge, beautiful, verdant and full of branches where to hang up glass stained balls, silver tinsels, lights, plastic stars and so on.</i><br />
<i>Today we want to replicate a Christmas Tree over our nails. This is mine.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Quand'ero piccola il momento preferito del Natale non era tanto lo spacchettamento dei doni (mai creduto a Babbo Natale, io), quanto l'allestimento dell'albero di Natale in casa di mia nonna. L'albero, in rigorosa plastica anni '70, era altissimo, larghissimo, di un verde impossibile (i miracoli della chimica!) e zeppo di rami e rametti cui appendere le palle di vetro colorato, fili di lamé argentato, lucine, stelle di plastica e così via. Oggi il piatto forte del quinto episodio della WNAC è l'albero di Natale. Eccovi il mio.<br />

<i><br /></i>
<i>I started painting my nails with two coats of Frankie ♥ Daphne, a laurel foil I made some months ago. Then, I placed two pieces of scotch tape over each nail to create a triangle shape. I used one coat of WjCon LE Burlesque 10 and I achieved the spruce line. With a striping brush and the grey foil i painted some lines over the tree to suggest the tinsel. Then, with a large dotting tool and Frankie ♥ Penelopê, I made the tree topper over each spruce.</i><br />
<i>It's a super easy manicure, and very impressive! Do not forget to add your top coat, because foil nail polishes are fragile! You can use any finish you like, but I chose foils because they are metallic and shine as tinsel.</i><br />
<i>I'm sorry for the low quality of my photos, but it's raining since saturday night and I haven't found a decent light bulb.</i><br />
<i>I hope you liked my nail art, and please, don't forget to take a look at my mates picks!</i><br />

Smalti utilizzati:<br />
Frankie ♥ Daphne<br />
Frankie ♥ Penelopê<br />
WjCon LE Burlesque 10<br />
Maybelline ColorSHOW 107 Watery Waste<br />
<br />
Sono partita con due mani di Frankie ♥ Daphne, un foil color alloro che ho realizzato qualche tempo fa. Una volta asciutto, ho piazzato due strisce di nastro adesivo su ogni unghia, creando una forma il più possibile triangolare, ed ho steso una mano di WjCon LE Burlesque 10. Una volta a sciutto, ho preso lo striping brush ed ho creato delle linee che ricordassero il filo di lamé (rendete grazie a Watery Waste). Per il puntale, un pois con Frankie ♥ Penelopê e passa la paura.<br />
Imprescindibile l'uso del top coat, non foss'altro perché i foil sono bellissimi e luminosi, ma si rovinano solo a guardarli!<br />
Vorrei scusarmi per la pessima qualità delle mie foto, ma qui sta piovendo quasi ininterrottamente da sabato notte e non ho ancora trovato delle lampadine che mi soddisfino davvero. Babbo Natale... ricordati le lampadine!!<br />
Spero che questa nail art super facile (ma molto, molto soddisfacente) vi sia piaciuta. Non dimenticate di andare a curiosare nei blog delle mie compagne di avventura, mi raccomando!<br />

<i>Nail Polishes I used:</i><br />
<i>Barry M Turquoise</i><br />
<i>Frankie ♥ Penelope</i><br />
<i>Frankie ♥ Cinderella</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i>Because this is the last chance to make a birthstone inspired nail art, I tried the water spotted method. I started painting my nails with two coats of Barry M Turquoise (actually, there isn't any hint of green in this shade) a light blue crème I purchased in London four years ago. Then, with the saran wrap techinique, I sponged some gray drops over my nails using Frankie ♥ Cinderella, an ash gray crème I've made I don't know how (just mixing some parts of gray and white crèmes, I suppose...). Then, I added the golden veins using Frankie ♥ Penelopê, a bronze foil I've made starting from a black crème base and mixing random colours.</i><br />
<i>Sadly, the top coat screwed up my job. Thank you, Seche Vite!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>And there we are, mates. It seems to me like we have started the BC2014 yesterday. Gosh, Batman. I want to say «thank you» to my mate Ere for including me in this adventure; to all the friends I've met through this year, and thanks to you for reading my blog even when I make those unlucky nail arts. You'll find the recap beneath the italian version of this post. Don't miss it!</i><br />
<i>And do not forget to take a look at my mates picks!</i><br />
<i>Have a nice day!</i><br />
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish<br />

<br />
Smalti utilizzati:<br />
Barry M Turquoise<br />
Frankie ♥ Penelope<br />
Frankie ♥ Cinderella<br />
<br />
Come dicevo sopra, il turchese è l'unica pietra tra quelle fin qui proposte ad essere opaca e non trasparente. Possiede, inoltre, delle venature dorate che mi fanno impazzire, e che esaltano ancora di più la bellezza di questa pietra. Nonostante sia legata al mese di Dicembre, per me il turchese significa estate, e trovo stia magnificamente accoppiata al corallo. Provare per credere.<br />
E siccome questa è l'ultima occasione che ho, almeno per quest'anno, di provare la tecnica water spotted, mi sono detta "Ora o mai più".<br />
Ho iniziato stendendo due mani di Barry M Turquoise, una lacca azzurra senza nemmeno mezza goccia di verde. Poi ho usato la tecnica saran wrap ed ho spugnato qualche goccia di Frankie ♥ Cinderella, uno smalto grigio cenere che ho creato senza rammentare bene tutti i passaggi (mischiando uno smalto grigio ed uno bianco, ma non saprei dirvi come). Ho aggiunto le venature dorate utilizzando Frankie ♥ Penelopê, uno smalto bronzo dal finish foil di mia invenzione (questo so com'è uscito fuori! Sono partita da una base nera!).<br />
La WS mi piace ed è perfetta per rappresentare le venature del turchese (o di un'altra qualsiasi pietra preziosa simile al), peccato che il top coat abbia strisciato di brutto, rovinando tutto il lavoro. Grazie, Seche Vite! Me ne ricorderò!<br />
E siamo al momento dei saluti. Quando finisce qualcosa di divertente si prova sempre un po' di tristezza, ma è stato divertente partecipare a questa sfida! Ringrazio Ere per avermi invitato, ringrazio le mie compagne di viaggio per la pazienza (ragazze passerò a commentare tra Natale e Capodanno, abbiate pazienza!!), e ringrazio voi, che seguite il mio blog anche quando vi propino delle nail art poco potabili. Tipo questa.<br />
Non dimenticatevi di passare a trovare le mie compagne di viaggio! E per rivivere assieme questa cavalcata lunga dodici mesi, ho anche aggiunto un recap (brutale, me ne rendo conto!). Fatemi sapere quale pietra vi è piaciuta di più!<br />
Buona serata e alla prossima!<br />

<i>Happy Sunday, mates!<br />Today I'm going to share with you a quick comparison between two lovely green linear holos I own: Literary Lacquers Green Gables and Cirque Lonesome George.</i><br />
<i>I've taken these photos last summer (It was last days of July, maybe?), after I've noticed that those shades was pretty close.</i><br />
<br />
Salve a tutti!<br />
Come sta andando la vostra domenica pomeriggio?<br />
Oggi voglio mostrarvi una veloce comparazione tra due smalti olografici verde in mio possesso: Literary Lacquers Green Gables e Cirque Lonesome George. Ho scattato le foto la scorsa estate, dopo che m'era venuto il dubbio che fossero un po' troppo simili per i miei gusti.<br />

<i>As you can see since the first photo, they are close but they are not dupes. </i><br />
<i>I can breathe easier!</i><br />
<i><a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/08/holothon-2010-litterary-lacquers-green.html">Literary Lacquers Green Gables</a> is a light green linear holo. It's a little bit sheer and it needs three coats for a perfect opaqueness.</i><br />
<i><a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/12/europe13-ireland-cirque-lonesome-george.html">Cirque Lonesome George</a> is a meadow green linear holo. You'll need two coats for a good opacity. </i><br />
<i>They share the same holo effect - a sharped holo arrow - and the same colour string - blue, yellow, red -, but the base colour is lighter on Green Gables and darker on Lonesome George.</i><br />
<i>If you are looking for a dupe, these shades couldn't </i><i>be </i><i>the right answer. I think you don't need having both, 'cause they are different by a matter of shade. The question should be "Am I a green lover?". If the answer is "Yes, I am!", there's nothing to discuss about. If the answer is "No, I'm not", or "I'm not a such lover", choose the shade you like the most and be happy with it.</i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Già dalla primissima foto appare chiaro che no, i due non sono dupe, pur essendo molto simili.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/08/holothon-2010-litterary-lacquers-green.html">Literary Lacquers Green Gables </a>è uno smalto olografico dall'effetto lineare di color verde erba. Occorrono tre passate per ottenere una buona copertura, ma c'è di buono che asciuga in fretta e non pesano.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/12/europe13-ireland-cirque-lonesome-george.html">Cirque Lonesome George</a> è uno smalto olografico dall'effetto lineare color verde prato. Ve la cavate con due passate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I due condividono lo stesso effetto lineare - a punta di freccia - e lo stessa sequenza di colori - blu, giallo, rosso - ma il colore di base è più chiaro in Green Gables e di un paio di toni più scuro in Lonesome George. </div>
Non possono essere definiti dupe in nessuna maniera, ma se non siete amanti di tutte le sfumature del verde, vedendo le differenze potrete scegliere la sfumatura che più vi si addice. Che più sentite vostra. È a questo che servono le comparazioni, giusto?<br />

<i>My pal Ky asked for a comparison between Lonesome George and AEngland Dragon. I don't have Dragon (shame on me), but, at a glance, Dragon should be a swamp-y green (more brownish) and it has a scattered holo effect. I thought to add to this comparison a picture of EAngland Saint George too. </i><i>As you can see, Saint George is a scattered holo too and his base is a little bit darker (the darkest one); actualy, there's a hint of blue in Saint George, so it has a geen teal base. There's not dupe at all, ladies and gentleman. I can breathe much more easier now.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>I hope to have been helpful. Thanks for stopping by my blog and, as usual, have a nice day!</i></div>

<br /></div>
In un commento, Ky mi chiedeva se Lonesome George potesse in qualche modo essere simile a AEngland Dragon. Ora io non ho Dragon (e dovrò rimediare presto), ma a colpo d'occhio, Dragon è più un verde muschio (o verde palude), ossia ha una maggiore componente di rosso che gli regala una punta di marrone. E poi l'effetto è diffuso e non lineare. Giacché mi ci trovavo, ho aggiunto una foto di un verde olografico di AEngland in mio possesso, Saint George. Come potete vedere, Saint George vira addirittura sul teal (e a cnhe qui, c'è chi lo definisce come teal e chi, invece, lo etichetta come verde), e anche lui ha un efftto scattered. Quindi, neppure in questo caso si può parlare di dupe. Fiu...<br />
E anche per oggi è tutto, signore e signori all'ascolto. Nella speranza di essere stata utile a qualcuna di voi (ma anche a qualcunO. Si avvicina Natale, dopotutto...), vi ringrazio per essermi passati a trovare e vi do appuntamento alla prossima volta. E, come sempre, passate una buona domenica, per quel che ne rimane.<br />

Quando il tempo è brutto e le giornate sono meh non c'è niente di meglio di uno smalto olografico per risollevare l'umore. Le foto che vedete qui le ho scattate a Luglio. Se l'avessi fatto oggi penso mi sarei depressa ancora di più.<br />
Lonesome George, come la <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonesome_George">ben più famosa tartaruga</a>, è uno smalto verde (verde guscio di tartaruga, per la precisione) dal finish olografico (lineare, prego). È un colore portentoso, e per l'ampiezza dell'arcobaleno e per il punto di colore davvero particolare. Per me dire Irlanda significa dire U2, Oscar Wilde e le smarginate vallate che hanno intrecciato l'aggettivo verde a quest'isola favolosa. E poi anche il leprecauno si veste di verde, no?<br />
Due passate, asciugatura rapida e brillantezza spaziale. Spazio alle foto!<br />

<i>Today we celebrate Saint Lucia, or how we celebrate Christmas where we live. Some days ago I discovered that on my father's hometown (a city on the Ionian shore of Calabria) there's a traditional festival of fire for Saint Lucia. They make a wood pyramid for each neighborhood, then they place a cross or a doll on the top and when the night comes, around 7 p.m., they light fires. There's also a commision to judge and award the best pyramid built. It's a reminescence of old pagan cult of roman goddes Lucina - her name means "Light" - that nowadays shifts on Saint Lucia' shoulders. </i></div>

Santa Lucia è dietro l'angolo, così oggi giochiamo in anticipo e dedichiamo una nail art a questa festa svedese. Ma sapete che Santa Lucia è onoratissima anche nel Sud Italia? Ho scoperto l'altro giorno che nella città natale di mio padre (Crotone, sulla costa ionica) ogni quartiere costruisce una piramide di legno, piazzandoci in cima una croce o una <i>pupa</i> (una bambola). Poi a sera si accendono queste piramidi, realizzando dei falò per tutta la città. Deve'essere fichissimo! Magari l'anno prossimo riuscirò a scendere e vi saprò dire, ah ah! Ovviamente, come tutto ciò che riguarda le tradizioni folkloristiche, la tradizione di accendere luci, falò e candele risale al periodo classico (greco o romano poco importa), quando si onorava la dea Lucina - Hera, da parte delle colonie - portatrice di luce. Santa Lucia l'ha scalzata per bene, ah ah!</div>

<i>I made a garland like sweden girls wearing during Lucia holiday. I also discovered that they sing a swedish version of a Naples's song, S. Lucia, very popular in Naples area. What a small, small world!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>I started painting two coats of Revlon Colorstay Bare Bones, a yellow toned nude (actually, it's a beige!). Then, using the brush, I drew three candles for each nail (China Glaze Snow), I lit them (using Kiko's shades and inverting the yellow and the red!), and I added some leaves with Revlon Colorstay Bonsai on the nail's smile area.

Sono andata sul classico, realizzando una ghirlanda di candele, come quelle che le ragazze svedesi indossano per Santa Lucia. A tal proposito, sapete che cantano una versione svedese della Santa Lucia che si canta dalle parti di Napoli? Com'è piccolo il mondo!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Sono partita stendendo due mani di Revlon Colorstay Bare Bones, un nude con sottotono giallo (io lo vedo beige, ma pazienza). Ho poi disegnato con il pennello dello smalto (China Glaze Snow) tre candele per ogni unghia, le ho accese (usando i due smalti della Kiko, ma invertendo il rosso con il giallo!) ed ho aggiunto un goccio di verde con Revlon Colorstay Bonsai a ricordare le foglie della ghirlanda. L'ultimo passaggio riguarda il top coat, ma vi suggerisco di attendere un quarto d'ora minimo prima di stenderlo: Bonsai non asciuga MAI.</div>

Spero che la mia interpretazione vi sia piaciuta. Dove vivete voi c'è una tradizione particolare riguardo Santa Lucia? Fatemelo sapere, sono curiosa!<br />
Al solito, il tempo a mia disposizione è finito (ci credete che devo ancora finire di addobbare casa?!), ma prima di lasciarci, vorrei ricordarvi di andare a curiosare tra i blog delle mie compagne di avventura. Trovate i link al solito posto.<br />
Grazie per essere passate e alla prossima!<br />

<i>Today for our weekly Pattern Wednesday we have Unikko on the menu. I thought could be a nice idea draw this lovely pattern using Christams shades, like green and red. Like it was a poinsettia with a poppy shape.</i></div>

Benvenute ad un altro episodio del Pattern Wednesday. Oggi tocca ad Unikko, un pattern della Marimekko che ho avuto modo di ospitare recentemente sul blog (<a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/11/marimekko-unikko.html">qui</a> e <a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/11/diy-unikko.html">qui</a>). Visto che Natale è dietro l'angolo, ho pensato fosse una buona idea usare colori più in tono con la stagione, come il verde ed il rosso. Ed il bianco, ovvio. In pratica, ho realizzato dei papaveri pensando ad una poinsettia, ah ah!!</div>

<i>Nail Polishes I used:</i><br />
<i>China Glaze Snow</i><br />
<i>China Glaze Phat Santa</i><br />

<i>Kiko 279 Yellow</i><br />
<i>Kiko 356 Melon</i><br />

<i>Kiko 297 Acid Green</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i>As I've shown you <a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/11/diy-unikko.html">here</a>, I painted my nails with two coats of China Glaze Snow (two coats of Layla 110 for my ring) and drawing the flowers with a dotting tool. I used three shades for the flowers, this time, because the real Unikko style has three shades (one for the petals and two for the center). I added the center and the stalks using a black striper. Don't forget your top coat (mine was Seche Vite* I kindly received from Clarissa Nails as sample) and you're done!</i><br />

<i>I just changed the flowers's size on my ring finger to make an accent manicure. I hesitated because I don't know wich colour combination I liked the most: red/gold/white or green/white? I chosen to use all these shades, because red and gold is actually a classical duo, but there is not a truly Christmas without a hint of green, don't you agree?</i><br />

Smalti Utilizzati<br />
China Glaze Snow<br />
China Glaze Phat Santa<br />
Layla 110<br />
Kiko 279 Giallo<br />
Kiko 356 Melone<br />
Kiko 296 Verde Prato<br />
Kiko 297 Verde Acido<br />
<br />
Vi ho già mostrato come realizzare questo disegno sulle vostre unghie (vedi qui); stavolta, però, ho usato un dotter a punta grande per realizzare dei fiori dai petali il più omogenei possibile. Ho steso due mani di China Glaze Snow su tutte le unghie, tranne che sull'anulare, dove ho usato Layla 110 come base. Ho poi creato dei fiori rossi e verdi su tutte le unghie, e bianchi solo sull'anulare. Stavolta ho usato due sfumature per il centro - come Unikko comanda, insomma!- ed ho aggiunto stami e gambi con uno striper nero (in bianco i soli gambi sull'anulare). Non dimenticate di sigillare tutto con il vostro top coat preferito (io ho usato un campioncino di Seche Vite*, gentilmente inviatomi dalla Clarissa Nails come omaggio).<br />
<br />
Stavolta ero indecisissima sui colori da usare. Volevo avere delle tonalità più natalizie, ma ero dubbiosa: meglio l'ambo rosso e oro sul bianco, oppure rosso e verde? Poi mi sono detta che non è Natale senza una spruzzata di verde e così ho tagliato la testa al toro con un accent sull'anulare (e dei fiori più grandi). Io spero che la mia idea vi sia piaciuta. È stata una manicure che mi è dispiaciuto togliere, davvero. pazienza. ne rifarò altre (suona come una minaccia...).<br />
Io vi ringrazio per essere passate e mi raccomando: fate un salto a trovare le mie amichette! Trovate i link al solito posto, in fondo a questo post.<br />
Alla prossima!<br />

<i>It's Candies time here on The Happy Beauty Case!</i><br />
<i>My father is from Calabria, a sunny region in the southern Italy, and to me Christmas season means to eat a TON of crustoli, a traditional cookie we make during holyday season. My granny, the one who wore <a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/08/he-picks-my-polish-granny-in-flower.html">this kind of dress</a> at my parents wedding, was an extraordinary cook and she made this cookies every Christmas. I love crustoli and sometimes I have followed my granny's recipe step by step, but I never ever achieved the same result.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
È tempo di caramelle e dolciumi e schifezzuole anche per il mio blog!<br />
Mio padre è calabrese e per me il periodo delle Feste è arricchito dai crustoli, dei dolcetti deliziosi che sono peggio delle ciliegie: uno tira un altro... quintale! Erano il cavallo di battaglia di mia nonna, cuoca eccezionale - quella che indossava <a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/08/he-picks-my-polish-granny-in-flower.html">questo vestito</a> al matrimonio dei miei - e nonostante tutti noi abbiamo seguito la sua ricetta passo passo, non siamo più riusciti ad assaggiare dei crustoli così buoni come li faceva lei!<br />

<br />
<br />
Smalti utilizzati:<br />
Revlon Colorstay 210 French Roast<br />
China Glaze Snow<br />
<br />
Ho pensato che la tecnica della WM fosse l'ideale per rappresentare questi dolci, anche se mi rendo conto che il risultato assomiglia più ad una tazza di cioccolata calda o ad un cappuccino fatto con tutti i crismi. Forse mi sono lasciata suggestionare dai biscotti al caffè che ho fatto ieri? Probabile.<br />
In pratica, ho preparato le mie unghiotte con due mani di Snow e ho realizzato delle strisce, sostituendo il rosso dei bastoncini di zucchero con il marrone. Un velo di top coat effetto gel ed ecco fatto. Mi scuso per la scarsa illumnazione delle foto, ma qui il sole è un miraggio. Non a caso, Santa Lucia è dietro l'angolo, ma ne riparleremo.<br />
Semmai voleste cimentarvi con i crostoli, potete seguire <a href="http://blog.giallozafferano.it/carlottacucina/i-crustoli-dolcetti-calabresi-la-cucina-di-carlotta/">questa ricetta</a>. Non vi do quella di mia nonna perché è una vera e propria eredità di famiglia; non vi dispiace, vero?<br />
Spero vi sia piaciuta la mia idea. Non dimenticate di passare a trovare anche le altre ragazze che hanno partecipato a questo episodio. Trovate i link in fondo al post.<br />
Grazie per essere passate a trovarmi e buon pomeriggio!<br />

<i>I have tried the water marble stickers technique, but, because I have TWO left hand, I broke my pattern. It was a colourful poinsettia design with a central whirpool I barely saved by destruction. I saw it and I have though "It's similar to a lollipop...". </i><br />
<i>So, first of all, I painted my nails with two coats of China Glaze Snow. </i><br />
<i>I just cutted out the whirpool and I placed it upside down on my ring finger. Then I painted the lollipop's stick with a black striper (NYC one, if you ask) and I have added the top coat.</i><br />
<i>Ta-dan!</i><br />
<i>I know, lollipops have such a brilliant colours, but, alas, there's a single lollipop with dark (and lisergic too!) shades. It's mine, of course.</i><br />
<i>Here is another rainy day in the not-so-sunny Italy. Is there snow where you live or it's still too early?</i><br />
<i>I hope you have liked my little nail art.</i><br />
<i>Thanks for stopping by and have a nice sunday!</i><br />
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish<br />

L'altro giorno ho provato a realizzare degli stickers con una WM asciutta, creando il disegno di una poinsettia con una spirale al centro. Ricorderete tutti che io possiedo ben DUE mani sinistre, giusto?<br />
Bene. È successo che il disegno mi si è polverizzato tra le mani, non so neppure io come, e sono riuscita a salvare solo il centro e poco più. E guardando quella spirale, ho avuto l'illuminazione; non quella vera, ma una piccola porzione di. Forse (<i>Come compromettere il proprio karma in tre mosse.</i> In tutte le librerie per Natale!). Così, vedendo che quella spirale poteva ricordare un lecca-lecca, di quelli coloratissimi che sono tanto belli da vedere, ma che ti piange il cuore a mangiare, che ho fatto?<br />
Ho dato due mani di China Glaze Snow. Ho ritagliato il centro, cercando di essere il più precisa possibile (scusate, ma non mi chiamo Giotto) e l'ho applicato alla rovescia sull'unghia dell'anulare. Ho disegnato il bastoncino con uno striper nero (quella della NYC, semmai ve lo steste chiedendo) ed ho steso un velo di top coat.<br />
Ta-dan!<br />
Mi rendo conto che i lecca-lecca hanno di solito colori più accattivanti ed accesi, ma anche i darkettoni (e i sopravvissuti ai trip lisergici) hanno diritto al loro lecca-lecca, voi che dite?<br />
Qui è un'altra giornata di pioggia nella non più così soleggiata Penisola.<br />
Che tempo fa da voi? Sole? Pioggia? Neve?<br />
Qualunque vento soffi, spero passiate una buona domenica in compagnia di chi amate.<br />
Grazie per esservi affacciati e alla prossima!<i><br /></i>
<i>Acque pacate e dolci risate finché non ci rincontreremo</i>

<i>I know, I'm late for the weekly PW episode, but when I took the shots the battery of my camera was almost dead, and when I have seen what I have done, I have an unpleasent discovery: all my photos were blurry! I can join the challenge today. I'm sorry, but I'm here. That's counts, right?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
In clamoroso ritardo (scusate, ma non ho fatto in tempo prima), posto la mia partecipazione al PW di questa settimana. Avevo scattato le foto, ma ho dovuto aspettare che la batteria della fotocamera si ricaricasse, e quando sono andata a controllare cosa avessi combinato ho scoperto, con mio sommo fastidio, che nemmeno mezza foto era venuta a fuoco. Non ce l'ho fatta prima. Mi scuso con le altri partecipanti, ma sono qui. È questo che conta, no?

Scusate.</div>
<div>
Prima che me lo chiediate, non lo so che diamine sia il pattern di questa settimana. Gelatine (malate)? Qualcosa uscito fuori dalla emnte di un designer svedese mentre parlava al telefono?</div>
<div>
Boh.</div>
<div>
Fatto sta che si tratta di alcune gocce di forma irregolare che contengono dei trattini neri. Il tutto su uno sfondo biancastro. E così avevo fatto nella mia prima versione, piazzando queste gocce un po' a caso.</div>
<div>
Oggi, invece, vi mostro un ingrandimento al microscopio di questo disegno.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Smalti utilizzati:</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
China Glaze Snow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
China Glaze Towel Boy-Toy (mignolo)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
China Glaze In the Limelight (medio)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
China Glaze Celtic Sun (anulare)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
China Glaze Japanese Koi (indice)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy (pollice)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
NYC black striper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Poiché sono una persona sobria, ho pensato che degli smalti neon potessero dare la scossa a questa manicure (le verità è che ho un bisogno arretrato pazzesco di estate e di sole!), così ho steso due mani di China Glaze Snow ed ho lasciato asciugare. Direttamente con il pennello dello smalto, ho disegnato delle gocce (grosse ed irregolari) e in seguito, a colore asciutto, ho disegnato i trattini con lo striper nero. Ta-dan!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A guardare l'anulare non sembra anche a voi che questo disegno possa ricordare il vestito di Fred Flintstone?</div>

Non ho molto altro da aggiungere a questo delirio. Mi rendo conto che questo disegno è forse un fiiiiiilo troppo estivo per questa stagione (ma giusto un attimo, guarda!), però questo passa il convento. Se vi è piaciuto, tenetelo a mente per l'anno prossimo. Dopo tutto, l'estate sta arrivando. Lentamanete magari, ma è in viaggio.<br />
Grazie per essere passate a trovarmi e buon sabato a tutte voi!<br />

<i>Belgium is a tiny country between France and Germany, well-known for many things: chocolate, Audrey Hepburn, Tintin, muscles&french fries and so on. But there are also the Abbey beers you must to know. Actually, we should talk about Trappist beer, because those beers are brewed within the walls of a Trappist monastery, either by the monks themselves or under their supervision.</i><br />
<i>Today's manicure is devoted to Trappist Beer. Get on board, we're heading for the Belgium!</i><br />

Il Belgio è un paese piccino piccino incastonato tra Francia e Germania, famosissimo per molte cose: la cioccolata, Audrey Hepburn, Tintin e l'accoppiata cozze&patatine fritte. In realtà ci sarebbe un'altra cosetta, una cosetta che la lega alla Germania, e non sto parlando dei colori della sua bandiera, ma della birra!<br />
Le migliori birre al mondo sono proprio le birre d'abbazia provenienti dal Belgio. Che ne direste di salire a bordo del nostro pulmino? Birra per tutti!<br />

<i>Nail Polishes I used:</i><br />
<i>China Glaze Champagne Bubbles</i><br />
<i>OPI Oy- Another Polish-Joke!</i><br />
<i>WjCon Sugar Effect 810</i><br />
<i>Revlon 050 White on White</i><br />
<i>NYC Black Striper</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Over my base coat, I painted one coat of China Glaze Champagne Bubbles. I layered one single coat of OPI Oy-Another Polish Joke! and I have let it dry. Then, I have drawn a french smile with Revlon White on White, and with the saran wrap technique, I have added the WjCon nail polish, to remind beer's suds. With the black striper I have drawn the profile of my nails to suggest the profile of a glass. Don't forget to add your favorite top coat to preserve your manicure, and you're done.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I don't think this design fits on short nails, or maybe it's just my taste's fault. Maybe I have added too much suds to my beer (I think this should be a wheat beer, because it's very pale.). What do you think? Do you like beer? I prefere something more sweet, like Lambic; but I love cooking with the beer. It make your roastbeef more tasty, and your pasta too! The proof of the pudding is in the eating.</i><br />

<i><br /></i>
Smalti Utilizzati:<br />
China Glaze Champagne Bubbles<br />
OPI Oy- Another Polish-Joke!<br />
WjCon Sugar Effect 810<br />
Revlon 050 White on White<br />
NYC Black Striper<br />
<i><br /></i>
Si parte sempre con la base protettiva. Quindi, ho steso una mano di China Glaze Champagne Bubbles, cui ho aggiunto, una volta asciutta, una seconda mano di OPI Oy- Another Polish-Joke!. Ho disegnato la lunetta della french manicure con Revlon 050 White on White, e con la tecnica della saran wrap ho steso, sfumandolo, lo smalto bianco gesso della linea textured di WjCon. Ho completato il tutto delineando i controni dell'unghia (a ricordare il profilo di un bicchiere) utilizzando lo striper nero della NYC ed ho sigillato il tutto con una mano di top coat.<br />
<br />
Non sono sicura che questo disegno si adatti bene alle unghie così corte, o forse sono solo io ad aver aggiunto troppa schiuma al mio boccale. Come spillatrice faccio pietà, in effetti! Quella che ho sulle dita dovrebbe essere birra di grano, chiara com'è. A voi piace la birra? Io confesso che le preferisco il Lambic, che è più dolce e meglio si incontra con i miei gusti, ma mi piace cucinare aggiungendo un bicchiere di birra. È ottima per dare corpo all'arrosto (specie la Guinnes) o per fare delle pennette che sono la fine del mondo. Come si dice, provare per credere!<br />

Io li adoro, voi no? sono la quintessenza della delicatezza e per anni puntavo al cristallo di neve della Swarowski (ho smesso di chiederlo a mammà alla terza rosa dei venti ricevuta in regalo); adesso coi miei gatti farebbero una fine orrenda e drammatica. Brrr...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Poiché sono incapace di disegnare e sono altresì negata con lo stamping (e il fatto di non possedere nemmeno mezza plate non aiuta), ho un po' barato, lo ammetto.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ho steso OPI Yoga-ta Get this Blue e ho applicato dei deliziosi adesivi della essence (LE CrystalIced) ricevuti in regalo da Barbara di <a href="http://nailpolishcrazy.blogspot.it/">Nail Polish Crazy</a> qualche tempo fa. Li tenevo da parte per un'occasione ad hoc, ed eccola qua!</div>

OPI Yoga-ta Get this Blue è un adorabile blu con uno shimmer azzurro ipnotico. Non sono riuscita a renderlo per bene nelle foto a causa delle lampadine non proprio adatte, ma un pochino si vede, vero? Ditemi di sì, siate buone!<br />
Ci sono affezionata perché è uno dei tanti souvenir del mio viaggio di nozze a NYC (fine Settembre 2009), forse l'unico blu della cucciolata, con quel suo shimmer così particolare che te ne innamori all'istante. Due mani senza top coat. E si stende ancora che è una favola!<br />

Sono rimasta particolarmente sorpresa e soddisfatta da questi stickers. In primis, sono carinissimi e delicati. In secundis, se nella confezione sembrano virare al rosa e al viola, una volta applicati sull'unghia assumono una sfumatura argentata che mi piace da matti! Blu e argento è un accostamento di colori che fa molto anni '70, come le palle dell'albero di natale di mia nonna. E se posso dire la mia, a me piace molto di più la versione fredda (argento e blu) di quella calda (rosso e oro). E a voi?<br />

Ho steso una mano di top coat per sigillare il tutto. Speriamo che reggano il più possibile. Sono innamorata di questa manicure e credo saraà una di quelle per cui mi piangerà il cuore quando dovrò rimuoverla. Sigh. Piange già adesso!<br />

<i>Good morning and Welcome to Winter Nail Art Challenge!</i><br />
<div>
<i>The lovely Helena from <a href="http://www.lackycorner.com/">Lacky Corner</a> had this nice idea, a challenge that will stretch over December. Just two days a week, because December is a stressfull month. Today it's time to light up some candles or Christmas lights.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Buongiorno a tutti!</div>
<div>
In quale altra diavoleria mi sono impelagata?<br />
La gentilissima Helena di <a href="http://www.lackycorner.com/">Lacky Corner</a> ha ideato questa Challenge per il mese di Dicembre. Due appuntamenti a settimana, entrambi dedicati al Natale e/o all'inverno. Non sono un tipo natalizio, io, ma quest'anno, forse per la prima volta, sento un pizzico di quella magia di cui tanto si parla nei racconti e nei film strappalacrime da tv buonista. Ok, la smetto prima di trasformarmi nel Grinch!</div>
<div>
Oggi toccano alle luci natalizie o alle candele. Qualcuno vuole un po' di luce? Ebbene, che luce sia!</div>

<i>I love Christmas Lights! When I was a child I stared at them for hours, while my granny and my mom set up Christmas Eve table and dinner. Today I can't have a proper Christmas Tree in my home because my two cats. They compare the Christmas Lights string as a prey. A colorful one, so they attempt to eradicate those lights from the tree... over and over again. I just gave up! We put a wood garland at the door and we put up the Nativity scene (a very little one, 'cause I don't like Nativity scene!).</i></div>

<i>I painted my nails with two coats of OPI MBSW, an off white crème I'm deeply in love with. Then, I drew the string using the black striper, and the light bulbs with a dotting tool dripped in my Frankies. Frankies are my homemade version of OPI Sheer Tints, if you are intrigued by them, just take a look <a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/10/31-day-challenge-2014-9-90s-fluo-roses.html">here</a>.</i></div>
<div>
<i>I chosen to use Frankies because they have a watery look, like a light bulb on. I add some details with the black striper and that's all. I like this pattern, and I swear you it's nicer in TRL than in my photos. This is my entry. If you want to take a look at my mates's picks, just click on the link collection below.</i></div>

Devo confessarvi un debole per le lucine natalizie. Io amo più l'albero addobbato del presepe (sono una donna di libertà, per dirla con De Crescenzo), e quand'ero piccola fissavo per ore l'albero in casa di mia nonna e tutti quei festoni, quelle palle di vetro soffiato (alcune le conserva mia amdre ancora adesso e sono fiQuissime) e le luci ad intermittenza.</div>
<div>
Purtroppo, adesso che ho una casa mia e che potrei avere un albero (finto) alto fino al soffitto, non posso, perché anche i miei gatti sono attratti dalle lucine colorate. Nella loro testa, il filo (e le luci) sono una preda appetibilissima, e sono stati capaci di sfasciare tutto solo per afferrare coi dentini quella stringa di filo elettrico. Sicché, ci si limita ad una ghirlanda di legno alla porta, qualche decorazione qua e là e ad un paio di mini-presepi in casa (io ODIO il presepe.).</div>

Ho iniziato con una mano di base e due di OPI MBSW, un bianco sporco che mi fa pensare alle pareti delle case. Poi con lo striper di NYC ho disegnato il filo elettrico. Ho preso il dotter ed ho disegnato i bulbi delle lampadine uno per uno, usando i miei Frankie, che hanno dato quel bell'aspetto luminoso al tutto. Se ti fossi perso cosa siano i Frankie, si tratta della mia versione casalinga delle Sheer Tints di Opi. Qualora volessi saperne di più, dai un'occhiata <a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/10/31-day-challenge-2014-9-90s-fluo-roses.html">qui</a>.<br />
Ho terminato con un paio di dettagli, sempre col fido striper, ad ecco fatto.<br />
Mi piace molto questo disegno, e vi posso assicurare che dal vivo ha meno imperfezioni di quante ne mostrino le mie foto (la croce e delizia delle macro).<br />
Questo è tutto.<br />
Se vuoi scoprire cos'hanno ideato per oggi le mie compagne di viaggio, trovi la lista completa in fondo al post. Noi ci vediamo giovedì, con un altro appuntamento della Winter Nail Art Challenge.<br />
Grazie per essere passate a trovarmi!<br />

<i>Good evening, Lovely Ladies.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>This week we'll turn rainbow for the Nail Polish Queen Weekly Challenge, named ROYGBIV. Keep calm, it is not contageous. It's just an acronyme for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. The rules are simple: we must include <u>all</u> these colours.</i></div>

Buonasera, donzelle all'ascolto.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
mentre fuori diluvia io provo a riportare un po' di colore partecipando alla Weekly Challenge delle Nail Polish Queens: ROYGBIV. Tranquille, non mi sono messa a parlare urdu, è solo l'acronimo dei colori dell'arcobaleno: rosso, arancio, giallo, verde, blu, indaco e violetto. Le regole sono le solite: divertirsi; includere TUTTI i colori summenzionati nella nailart.</div>

<i><br /></i>Facile?<br />
NO.<br />
Ma guarda, proprio no. E sapete perché? Per la presenza imprescindibile dell'indaco. Sì, proprio lui. La mia bestia nera. Così, mentre rimuginavo sul come cavarmi dall'impiccio, ho avuto la folgorazione. Folgorazione che è avvenuta mentre pulivo casa, ma soprassediamo. "Perché non usi i tuoi Frankie, gonza che non sei altro?", mi sono detta. E così ho fatto. Ora, se non sai cosa diamine siano i Frankie, calma e gesso. Trovi il riassunto <a href="http://therealbeautycase.blogspot.it/2014/10/31-day-challenge-2014-9-90s-fluo-roses.html">qui</a>.<br />

Ho seguito <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I02xTW9pWTY">questo tutorial</a> di Michelle Saunders (Amo. Il. Suo. Caschetto.) passo passo. Certo, il risultato non è proprio lo stesso, ma mi piace molto l'effetto finale, quasi 3D (tu passacele tre mani di colore a gradazione, poi vediamo...). L'indaco? Beh, c'è. L'ho ottenuto mescolando assieme Eloise e Sophie. In fondo, l'indaco non è una (stupida) sfumatura tra azzurro e violetto?</div>

<div>
Oggi avevo in mente tutt'altro.</div>
<div>
Volevo cavarmela con un paio di swatch di uno smalto inglese, il quale, essendo bello saturato, ha fatto impazzire la mia fotocamera. E a fine giornata, dopo uno svarione di foto e la batteria scarica, mi sono ritrovata con un pugno di mosche in mano. Per mia fortuna avevo queste foto!</div>
<div>
Le ho scattate lunedì scorso, dopo la potatura drastica cui ho sottoposto i miei artigli.</div>
<div>
Col tartan (o scozzese che dir si voglia) si va sul sicuro. Non sbagli mai. E poi mi dà un senso di comfort. Quand'ero piccola avevo una sciarpa con questo stesso identico motivo, solo in rosa. Perché sì, sono stata un'amante del rosa, da piccina. Succede. Poi passa!</div>

<i><br /></i>
<br />
<div>
Ho steso due mani di Bahamian Escape. Poi con lo striper fatto in casa ho tracciato delle linee il più dritte possibile (ahahahahah!!!) secondo questa sequenza: Shower Together, First Mate e Snow. Un velo di top coat e passa la paura.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oggi non voglio parlare del Regno Unito, perché la mia generazione è cresciuta ascoltando le note della british invasion, dal punk alla new wave, dai new romantic al brit pop. I Beatles hanno aperto la strada e contagiato i nostri genitori (le mamme specialmente), e noi abbiamo continuato. Le buone abitudini non si cambiano, vero?</div>
<div>
E poi, se mi mettessi a parlare del Regno Unito, finirei con il mettermi a ciarlare su Doctor Who. E voi sapete che potrei chiacchierare per ore, ed ore ed ORE sul Dottore, vero?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
S'è fatto tardi, dite?<br />
Credo abbiate ragione. È ora di cena, non so cosa cucinare stasera, e scommetto che voi non vedete l'ora di correre a dare un'occhiata alle scelte delle mie amichette, vero?</div>
<div>
(Come se non vi conoscessi...)</div>
<div>
Al solito, trovate i link alla fine di questo post delirante.</div>
<div>
Grazie per aver fatto un salto qui stasera e mi raccomando: passate un buon fine settimana.</div>

<i>Happy Thanksgiving Day!</i><br />
<i>It has been another rainy day, here in sunny Italy (irony intended!), but I want to share with you a lovely shade from China Glaze. I'm talking about Latticed Lilac, a nail polish from Crackle Metals Collection.

<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
Buonasera a tutti!<br />
È piovuto anche da voi? Qui ho dovuto chiedere un passaggio a Noé per recarmi in centro, vi dico solo questo...<br />
Oggi vi mostro un prodotto che l'ufficio stampa della <a href="http://www.clarissanails.it/ita/home.asp">Clarissa Nails</a> - distributore italiano di China Glaze e Seche - mi ha gentilmente inviato per mostrarvelo in tutto il suo splendore.

<i><br /></i><i>As you can see, Latticed Lilac is a pale lavender, but his actual shade is quite difficult to catch in photo because the silver shine. Funny things: I have tried it over a black base, but it doesn't look like a purple shade. So I layered over a gradient I was tired of. Nice, it isn't?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I have to say that this baby comes to my house in a very bad mood, because something has gone wrong with him during his trip from USA (okay, I must to say "it", but c'mon, baby!). As they say, not everything turns out as it should. The formula was quite a mess! It was glooping like cheese over a slice of pizza. What a shame! I said to me "No. Panic." and I saved it using some drops of thinner (Kiko's one, I purchased it yesterday and I'm very impressed!), and I'm so glad it worked because it's a lovely shade, even if I'm not a purple person.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
Come potete vedere, Latticed Lilac è un lavanda chiaro. la componente metallica della formula gli conferisce un riflesso argentato che ha fatto impazzire la mia telecamera, ma ne è valsa la pena. La cosa buffa è che se steso sopra ad una base nera, Latticed Lilac non sembra lilla. Non sembra nemmeno viola, ma argento con una qualche sfumtaura viola. Ho deciso quindi di usarlo sopra ad una gradient che mi aveva stufata (ho le unghie troppo corte per le gradient!). Carino, vero?<br />
<br />
Devo dirvi che qualcosa deve essere andato storto con questo piccoletto, perché quando l'ho aperto la formula era simile alla colla. Avete presente la mozzarella sulla pizza? Ecco. Non tutte le ciambelle riescono col buco, purtroppo, ma per fortuna due gocce del Thinner di Kiko (comprato ieri e mi ha lasciato davvero senza parole!) hanno risolto la situazione. Sarebbe stato un peccato perdere questo ragazzotto, e ve lo dice una che il viola... sì, insomma... avete capito!<br />

<i>I wanted play more with this shade, so i have made a super easy manicure. I painted my nails with two coats of essie Mesmerized, then, I have draw an heart for each nail </i><i>with a dotter </i><i>and some lines on ring </i><i>with my home-made striper</i><i>. So cute! I think this could be ok for school or for a nice rendez-vous with your boyfriend. I love how the silvery lavender stands out over the blue shade.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I think a NPA should have at least a pair of crackle polishes on her's stash, because they are very helpful when you want to change something on your manicure... or you have to fix it and you don't have time! Just a layer of nail polish and you are ready!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
Ho voluto giocherellare con Latticed Lilac usandolo assieme ad un colore più deciso. Ho steso due mani di essie Mesmerized (che sì, è così blu come lo vedete in foto), e poi ho disegnato dei cuori per ogni unghia con un dotter, salvo sull'anulare dove ho creato delle linee con il mio striper fatto in casa. Non è carina? Credo sia portabilissima anche a scuola, o magari per un rendez-vous romantico. Sicuramente lui saprà che aria tira dalle vostre unghie!<br />
E poi mi piace come il riflesso argento del lavanda stacchi sulla base blu. Mi piace da matti!<br />
<br />
Sono convinta che una coppia di smalti a effetto crackle siano indispensabili nella collezione di una NPA. Sono preziosissimi sia quando volete rinnovare con poco una manicure che vi ha un po' stancato, sia quando dovete correre ai ripari e non avete il tmepo materiale di fare le cose per bene (leggi, prendere l'acetone e ricominciare daccapo). Vi basta una mano di smalto e siete a posto. E se considerate che asciuga anche in un attimo...<br />

Che ne pensate degli smalti ad effetto crackle? Ne avete comperato uno? E come vi ci siete trovate? Vi hanno stufato o pensate siano una grandissima salvezza in casi disperati?<br />
Raccontatemi la vostra esperienza, sono curiosa!<br />
Prima di salutarvi, una comunicazione di servizio.<br />
Il 1° Dicembre Clarissa Nails organizza nella sua sede di Roma il Nail Art Christmas Day, una giornata a porte aperte per illustrare alcune tecniche di nail art. L'evento dura dalla mattina fino al primo pomeriggio, con annesso un concorso natalizio.<br />
Trovate tutte le info nelle locandine qui sotto.<br />
Spero di poter partecipare, perché la prova pratica sulla one stroke, lo confesso, mi servirebbe per capire dov'è che sbaglio. Vedremo.<br />

<i>Today my friends and I will play with polka dots. I have chosen to do them in gray. In silver gray, because my friend Alessandra tells me this morning "Don't you remeber that song about the moon helping a woman to have a child?". Of course I do.

Buon Mercoledì, donzellette!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Come vedrete dalle foto, ho accorciato gli artigli. La socrsa settimana l'unghia del mio pollice mi ha fatto una sgradita sorpresa spaccandosi senza pietà alcuna e così ieri ho preso il coraggio a due mani (a ventordici mani) ed ho potato tutto. Era da anni che non portavo le unghie così, ed è una sensazione un po' strana. Spero vi piacciano!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Il tema di oggi sono i pois (o polka dots, se vi sentite più anglofone). Ho scelto di realizzarli in grigio e argento perché stamattina la mia amica Alessandra mi ha chiesto "Ehi, ma tu te la ricordi quella canzone che parlava della gitana che chiede un figlio alla luna?". E BAM! S'è spalancato il portone. Ovviamente sì che me la ricordo. Si chiama Figlio della Luna (Hijo de le Luna in spagnolo) ed è una di quelle fissazioni che mi prendono male, male, MALE. Indovinate cosa sto cantando da stamattina alle dieci?</div>

<i>Nail Polishes I used:</i><br />
<i>Maybelline COLORSHOW #107 Watery Waste</i><br />
<i>Maybelline COLORSHOW #287 Grey Matters</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Watery Waste is a silver foil, very shine and bright. I love it, even if I have TON of silver foils.</i><br />
<i>Grey Matters is a smoke gray (we call this shade "fumo di Londra", that means "London smog" in italian) with a lovely silver shimmer. It's quite a metallic nail polish, but it doesn't have any metallic core in his formula.</i><br />
<i>I purchased them on sale (for 0,99 euro) to Acqua&Sapone (an italian drugstore). I think I'm in a grey mood. Maybe it's all Fall's fault!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I painted my nails with two coats of each colour, using silver for ring and thumb. I inverted the colors for the dots and ta-da! My dots are not precise, because my dotter failed me, but - alas - I like my mani. It's shiny shiny, and I deserve something shiny today, because it's raining cats and dogs since this morning.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I hope you like my polka dots. Don't forget to take a look at my friends blog! Today we have a new entry, lovely Michela from <a href="http://redda88.blogspot.it/">This is Me</a>. </i><br />
<i>Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day!</i><br />

<br />
<br />
Per questa manicure ultra lampo ho usato Maybelline COLORSHOW #107 Watery Waste e Maybelline COLORSHOW #287 Grey Matters. Il primo, Watery Waste, è un delizioso foil color argento. Lascia un po' di strisciate, ma non possedendo una brillantezza a specchio va bene così. Non so se sia adatto per lo stamping, ma temo di no. Servono due passate per una copertura ottimale, ed è un pochino liquidino. Sospetto che se avessi avuto le unghi ancora lunghe avrei dovuto usare anche tre passate. C'è di buono che asciuga in fretta. Almeno questo.<br />
Grey Matters è un fumo di Londra con un leggero shimmer argento. Può sembrare un metallico (un canna di fucile) ad un primo acchitto, ma a questo smalto manca la componente metallica, appunto.<br />
Ho usato l'argento per anulare e pollice, mentre il resto l'ho lasciato alle amorevoli cure di Grey Matters. Ho invertito i colori per i pois (non chiamateli "pallini", per favore, è una parola che mi fa venire l'orticaria!) ed ecco fatto.<br />
Niente di trascendentale, me ne rendo conto, ma ogni tanto ci vuole qualcosa di semplice per tirare il fiato, n'est-ce pas?<br />
Vi lascio alla creatività delle mie amicicie di boccetta. Non dimenticate di passare a trovare anche loro, ché da oggi si unisce a noi Michela di <a href="http://redda88.blogspot.it/">This is Me</a>!<br />
Grazie per esservi affacciate e alla prossima.<br />
<i>Acque pacate e dolci risate finché non ci rincontreremo</i>
