Winter Picks: Nails

Hello, hello !

This monthI'm starting a new mini series in which I will be sharing with you my most worn Nail polishes/ Eyeshadows/ Lipsticks throughout winter. 

Today it's time for lots of nailpolish - 10 shades if I'm more acurate. I love these shades this year a lot cause I love changing up my nailpolish very frequently. Too frequrntly in fact.
Let's be real folks - I have a problem ! 

Well jokes aside - I don't know what it is about winter but I love wearing deeper tones and all of theese that I picked are truly magnificent.

- Deep Night Tones -

I'm starting with the most dramatic ones.
I discovered Essie's After School boy blazer (btw how cute is that name) last yeat and I've been obsessed. It's a deep blue color, it almost seems that you are wearing black nail polish, but you're not.

Hyde in the park was a recent discovery from one of the LE collecion that Catrice have out every month. It's the prettietst and I love wearing it on a night out.

Essie - After School Boy Blazer; Golden Rose -Brandy Desert; Catrice - Hyde in the park; KIKO - 374

Brandy desert is a vampy berry collor (my fave one for the winter season -  and may I add that I have too many fashion items in that particular color). Enough said !

I picked up this KIKO nail polish when I went to Malta this summer, they had a nice little shop at Bologna's airport and I couldn't resist to pick up a few items to try, since a lot of bloggers have been raving about this brand. I don't have a lot of deep browns in my collection, and this one is not just your tipical brown, but it has copper shimmer too. It's a win win situation for me.

- Winter Shimmers -

There is something apealling to me about having a shimmery nail polish on snowy days. Although there haven't been as many snowy days this winter as I'd like them to be, I still hope for one more "snow storm" just to say goodbye to snow. I love snow can't you tell !

Paralilac is the all year round go to taupe nailpolish for me. It suits my style and it has the right amount of shimmer. I can't remember when I got it, but it was a part of a Catrice LE collection.

Catrice - Paralilac; KIKO - 858; H&M - Extravaganza

I  also picked up Extravaganza on a trip last year when I went to visit Bratislava for a day (I even made pictures for a post, I just never got around to post them - maybe I'll do like a traveling post).
It's a party in a nail polish bottle. That's the perfect description. 

This one is from the same trip in KIKO as the dark brown one. I have nothing like it in my collection which with the amount of it that I own it surprises me a lot.
I wish I had an eyeshadow that was this color.

- Warm Afternoons -

When it's too cold outside I like to pretend that I'm warm just by playing make belif with the color of my nailpolish.

Golden Rose - 109; Catrice - Chromeo&Julia; Essie - Twin Sweater Set

I remember bloggers posting pictures on this collection and I fell in love with Chromeo and Julia right then and there. The next day I picked it up. It the most beautiful marble polichrome nail polish I own.

Twin sweater set is an all time favorite for me. It's the first Essie nailpolish I purchased. I love everything about it. It's one of my favorite reds from my collection.

GR 109 - I picked up this one this summer. I loved it all through fall and because of it's warm color I keep reaching for it.

So these were my winter picks, and I'd like to know which are yours?
Share your favorite shades of nailpolish with me in the comments below!

Thank you for reading and have a nice day,

My Fashion Favorites: Oscars 2013

I am a huge movie fan and I am obsessed with the award season in Hollywood. But The Academy Awards or as we call them "The Oscars" are my favorite award show and I love it for many reasons.
First I love the movies and watching the awards and all the speeches people make while accepting them, I love the Red Carpet fashion and I always take my time to notice everyone's makeup.
And this year I decided to let all my feelings out about it on my blog.

Fashion Favorites

1.Jennifer Lawrence - Red Carpet Look

Jennifer wore a blush pink Dior Haute Couture gown. This is my favorite dress from the evening. She wore it very gracefully and looked stunning in it. I love how the gown moves and the fact that it is strap less makes the detail on it stand out more. 
It was definitely a very memorable dress on the Red Carpet, just like her known red dress by Calvin Klein Collection that she wore on the 2011 Oscars.

2. Jessica Chastain - Red Carpet Look

She wowed me with her gold sparkly Giorgio Armani dress. It was just the right amount of sparkle and the light gold to illuminate her pale skin. Also the cut of the dress fitted her amazingly.
I also love her hair color and how it suits the whole look.

3. Amanda Seyfried - Red Carpet Look

This actress is so inspiring and beautiful. I have watched her since Mean Girls all the way through Dear John and Mamma Mia and so many more movies that I love. She wore an Alexander McQueen dress with amazing detail in a very light off white almost light blue color with white detail on it. I love the flow in this dress and she wore it perfectly.

4. Lily Collins - Vanity Fair Oscar Party Look

A pale brunette in a blue sparkly Zuhair Murad dress is always an eye catcher for me. I love Lily Collins, but I am crazy about her style. She is always flawlessly put together. 

5. Nina Dobrev - Elton John's Oscar Party Look

Nina Dobrev is my favorite TV star fashionista. Her and Ian Somerhalder are the most stylish couple I have ever seen.
She screams elegance with this dress by Naeem Kahn. Again this is another dress that is very form fitting and loosens up towards the end. A lot of detail and an amazing contrast with black and white. 

These were my fashion favorites and I'm posting next my makeup favorites too.
I hope you like this kind of posts on my blog too. Tell me what you think in the comments.
Thank you for reading,

Celebrities truly inspired me to do this blog today. 

I don't know about you, but when I don't have an idea what to do for my makeup I love to check out some pictures of celebrities. 

These top 5 looks that I have today for you are worn by people that truly inspire me with their style and makeup. 

Also all of these looks can be used as day and night time looks. 

1. Simple Lily Collins 

I love Lily Collins and especially I love all her looks.
This one here is a simple more daytime look.
I love how you can achieve a great put together look just with some blush, mascara and lipstick.

Products I used to recreate this look :
- Avon Invisible light corrector on my eyelids to give them a glow

- Avon Ideal Luminous blush in Peach
- Catrice Ultimate Shine lipstick in 070 It's Robin Wood (small amount)

2. Sarah Hyland

How can you not fall in love with Sarah Hyland's big eyes.
This look that she is wearing is perfect for fall. It is smokey and mysterious in the eyes and it's simple on the lips and cheeks.

- Coastal Scents 88 Warm palette (use any brown-grey shimmery color) 

- Avon Super Extend Extreme mascara

- Bourjois Chocolate bronzer

- Alverde lipstick in 30 Silky Nude

3. Nina Dobrev

The Vampire Diaries beauty amazes me when she plays Elena and has little to no makeup in the Tv show, but she's even more amazing when she glams up her look.
This smokey brown eye is amazing and I love how they focused mainly on her eyes and left the cheeks and lips pretty natural, but still with glow.

Selena Gomez has impressed me with many of her looks lately. From all of them I chose to put this one out because it is different to all the others. It is a blue eyeshadow look with a nude lip.

I would choose darker blues.

Products I used to recreate this look :

- Use any blue eyeshadows that compliment your eye color, I don't own a blues eyeshadow palette so if you know a great one please recommend it to me 

- Avon Super Extend Extreme mascara

- Bourjois Chocolate bronzer

- Revlon matt lipstick in Nude attitude 

5. Katy Perry

Katy Perry has an amazing range of looks that you can choose to recreate and to a makeup addict like me she is a goddess because she is so inspiring. I love her funky looks as much as I love her very glamorous Old Hollywood looks.

- Sleek I-divine palette - AU NATUREL

- Avon Super Extend Extreme mascara
