NOTD: Easter Eggs

HAPPY EASTER!

Hello everyone! I am just celebrating the arrival of an extra-long Easter weekend, and here is my manicure. I pulled all the pastel creme polishes I've got out and decided which ones to use and did dots. Dodgy and wonky dots. I was distracted by Pirates of the Caribbean on TV, that's my excuse! The new Boots 17 collection is great, the new Revlon "Minted" is nice but a bit runny...

From thumb to pinkie: Rimmel LycraPRO "Urban Princess", Revlon "Minted" and then Boots 17 "Parma Violet", "Orange Soda" and "Sherbet Lemon".

Dots are made with a dotting tool and NYC "Little Italy".

I finally did something I have never done; I have ordered the WHOLE COLLECTION of the Zoya Sparkle collection that is released today. I couldn't help myself. I love the pastel cremes but there is always room in my heart for more glitter :D Check out swatches for yourself at All Lacquered Up!

NOTD: Spring skittles

So, ahem, I'm out of practice from having a 2 week polish break, and tired from organising the inventory of the belongings that were ruined in the flood of our house. That's my excuse for the horrendous application! :) Oh well I guess there is no real excuse. I am sorry. I will do better next time.

I went to Boots today and giggled madly when I saw brand spanking new polishes from their 17 line. There are 5 shades and they are all bright pastels and I bought 3 outright (they have a 3 for 2 on the line right now). I might put on the lilac "Parma Violet" on tomorrow for my brother's birthday party!

This is the surprisingly opaque (2 coats here) pastel yellow "Sherbet Lemon" with the lovely Isadora "Vintage Mint" (2 coats) from their Spring collection (thanks Mum!). I used Sally Hansen Nail Quencher base coat and MegaShine top coat.

Also thank you Mum for my new Gudrun Sjöden cardigan! It's probably one of the most expensive pieces of clothing I own :) Goes miraculously well with my denim mini skirt!

NOTD: Boots 17 "Smoke Signal"

Ya know, sometime you come across gems in drugstore brands that just restores faith in attainable and budget friendly beauty :) Like this new colour from 17. This is ONE coat with Sally Hansen Mega Shine; it's really shiney in itself, I just put on Mega Shine to speed dry the mani, I've got stuff to do :P

This is a lovely colour, very soft, dark grey. It's not really a spring colour, but I like it a lot!

Lina-Elvira Loves It Thiiiis Much:
