Watercolor Butterflies - feat maaaany colors of newest haul!

Hello folks and a warm "Servus" from Vienna,

so since Leslie from work / play / polish left the first ever comment on this blog *yippie* and this was very positive to my #LLLucky contribution and the watercolor background I felt so honoured that I decided to give this technique another try - but wanted to try something else than a background for a mani (although this was awesome :D). And since here in Vienna summer resides and nature is still stuck in spring, I decided to do some butterflies!

The "it's nice outside but I need to learn"-Mani

Hey guys,

today is such a wonderful day in Vienna, but I have to stay inside since I have a very difficult exam on tuesday (electrical engineering, ugh -_-).

So I had to cheer myself up with a mani! 
I used my new moyou stamping plates and new polishes I bought for this and I did both hands different :)

What makes Bea feel lucky - Horses!

Hello folks and a warm "Servus" from Vienna,

so this is the third time The Lacquer Legion announced a theme, and this time it was "Lucky". So what came to my mind were HUGE amount of St. Patricks Day manis we've seen this March, and I thought "well no". It had to be something WITHOUT any clovers, pigs, or other usual New Year's Eve giveaways that are associated with luck. And then I had it clearly in my mind: What makes me feel lucky are horses. Whenever I come to my barn to either ride or either take care of the horses of my riding instructor, this really makes me feel lucky.



Dani's contribution for #LLlucky

Hey guys,

it's the time of the month again where Lacquer Legion has a monthly nail art challenge!
This time it's about the word "lucky".

"This month, use your mani to represent your version of LUCKY. Be inspired by your trusted lucky charm, an amazing lucky break, an awesome lucky find or even someone you are lucky to know. Anything goes"



I'm really lucky for my nail polishes! Doing my nails comforts me when I'm upset, it helps me fight my impatience and I spend a lot of time with people, who love my hobby too :)

Since two years I'm obsessed with my bottles and it all began with a post on reddit about water marbeling. 
So I have a water marble design for you! :)

Hello folks and a warm "Servus" from Vienna,

Very first spring mani ...

Hello folks and a warm "Servus" from Vienna,

so after this never-came winter here in eastern-Austria it seems that spring also skips its part and turns directly to summer - last Wednesday I went to barn to ride my rented horse (I'm sure there exists an english term for "Mitreiter" that I don't know ;)) and rode outside the hall in the sun with my summer outfit for the first time in 2014. This is how weather should really do it, it's so amazing!

So in case spring stops by though, I created my first spring-inspired mani ever, and this is the result:

If it has to be done quickly: Glitter ombre

Hello folks and a warm "Servus" from Vienna,

so University has a lock on me again and it seems I have to kind of "reorganize" my "mani day" in the week. I usually have to go to University from Tuesday to Thursday and from in the evening, and I organized with my boss that I come to work every Monday, Thursday and Friday. Being busy with preparing things for university, hobbies (or simply living?) on the other days, there is very little time for my manis.
Beside this fact, I used to do my nails every about 5 days because as long as they are not completely chipped I feel fine with them and feel sad if I take them off.

I wanted to do something else than I did, but it didn't came out very well. I started preparing the f*** mani before I went to university on Wednesday and started to finish it after I came back home, but I did one hand and was like "meh, no". Since there is something called sleep which I wanted to do but didn't want to leave my nails plain, I grabbed two colors for a nice & easy 15 minute glitter ombre, and here is the result:

The Ultimate Holographic Polish Comparison!

Hey guys!

I've waited a (far too) long time for this comparison, because I had to wait until it was sunny but finally today was the day! :D

Holo polishes are, beside textured, my absolute favourite type of nail polish.
The sparkles, the rainbow, the colors, everything <3
My camera had a problem with focusing with all the sparkles, so I had to take some pictures with my mobile phone, I hope you guys don't mind <3

I compared this 4 polishes (from low-priced to expensive)!
I painted every polish over a black polish.

Low Budget Comparison - Zoya - Payton vs. Kiko - 255

Hey guys!

Alright, so today I have another low budget comparison for you!

Last year zoya's zenith winter collection came out and I bought Payton and Dream and was really impressed with this super intense glittery beautys.
As I placed them in my shelf I noticed that Payton is really similar to Kiko No. 255.

I never really compared them, so I'm really curious myself how similar they are.
