Bourjois Beige Glamour

I wanted this kind of dirty pinkish color for a long time and I was so excited when I found it in a Bourjois Beige Glamour.
But when I put it on, it somehow didn't look good on me. I guess my skin tone just doesn't go well with it.

I wanted it to look something like this: Beige Glamour.
But I have too dark, olive skin and it doesn't look good.

I was so dissapointed that I sold it right away.    :(

Here's a photo in a natural light:

And here are photos with flash:

Can you se how it sort of tends to look nude on me, not at all what I expected.

So after aplying it I added some scotch tape decoration with Essence I Love My Jeans just to avoid the nude look.
That helped.

I can't tell you how much I love this Essence limited edition polish. It stood there, completely forgotten since I bought it, and when I recently got to the end of a bottle of my favourite black Manhattan polish, I thought: Why not give it a try with Essence?
And I was so pleased to see it covers in one easy coat and it's also perfect for stamping. Subtle silver shimmer is a plus for me, too.
I already spent a half of the bottle since I 'discovered' it.

What's your favourite one-coat black polish?

Lizards of Oz

Altough Bourjois 10 days in color 18 is wonderful as it is, I wouldn't be called Stickers if I hadn't done something weird with it. And so came: lizards of Oz! 
I liked this BM plate from the second I got my first 20 plates, but somehow I never used it. The lizard's little fingers (paws?) are so difficult to transfer to the nail, so you have to use perfect stamping nail polish, which is for me a vintage L'oreal chrome polish that's unfortunately disconitnued...

Beware, the Lizards...

Bourjois 10 days no. 18

Yesterday it was a special day here in Croatia! In one drugstore there was 30% off on all nail polishes. Of course I had to drop by and take a look, but since I ordered one pricey package from ebay, I couldn't buy more than 5 polishes, I made a promise to myself. I'm proud to say  I kept that promise, and now I'm a proud owner of 4  new polishes! :)

One of them I was most excited about is Bourjois dark blue polish under a "very cool" name: 18.
This is dream-come-true polish for me. Blue with grey subtone and a ultra mega cool silver shimmer that is actually visible on the nail! Two coats are more than enough, and this baby shines this much without top coat:

 And last picture is taken indoors and it shows my left hand. I'm right-handed, but somehow I always get my right hand painted better and looking better, which is unusual. Maybe I was supposed to be left-handed?

I have only words of praise for this polish, but I hate it's brush. It's supposed to be shaped to help you paint your nails perfectly, but I ended up with only doing a big mess. You can see the shape of the brush on Lalica's blog here. But luckily I have plenty of nail polish correctors in pen so I cleaned it up.
