NOTD: Essie Sexy divide and Butter London Chancer
Hello lovely ladies! :)
It's time for nails of the day! Excuse me my shorty shorts nails.
For the first NOTD I've used Essie's Sexy divide that is a deep purple with red glitter in it. And on my ring finger I've applied a thin coat of Butter London's Chancer. I love the result!
Lately I've been loving purple and red combo!
On my second NOTD I've just used Butter London's Chancer. And OMG OMG I love it! It really reminds me of China Glaze Ruby Pumps that I was dying to get (and still don't have it).
How do you like them?
P.S. If you still haven't voted for me you can still do here (only once per person).

Parisky's dream jewellery: earrings and a ring
Hello ladies!
I've been inspired and I tried to do something else.
The earrings remind me of a chandelier :)
And a very interesting ring with a sea shell (or well something). I think since this was my first ring it came out pretty cool :)
Thank you for looking!
P.S. I'm seriously thinking about opening a shop :) All items would be limited edition, since they're handmade and not one is the same as the previous :D (except the earrings). What do you think about this?

Gifts, prizes and shopping!
I'm so excited to show you what I got :D
I received a prize from Tali (I won her glitter contest), a new year present from my friend, an early gift for my birthday from my sister and I went shopping and actually found something for me!
Let's start:
Tali's prize
Cosmetics from Twilight (yes, they actually made a makeup brand from the movie) and a gorgeous nail polish from Butter London.
I absolutely love the package twilight makeup comes in! Just look at it :D
Without the boxes:
From left to right:
1. Butter London nail polish in Chancer
2. Luna Twliligh just bitten lip staining balm in lullaby
3. Luna Twliligh femme fatale lip gloss in surrender
4. Luna Twliligh femme fatale lip gloss in drizzle
And the swatches just for you :)
The gloss is very rich, creamy and moisturising :) The drizzle is a clear gloss with silver glitter in it, surrender is pink-brown (actually very close to my natural lip color) and lullaby is supposed to be pink (on their page) but is more orange in real life. The glosses smell very sweet, like vanilla, the staining balm reminds me a little bit of ginger cookies (mmm).
My friend's gift:
My friend went to Paris for new year (envy) and since she knows how much I love (no, j'adore is a better word) Paris she got me some things:
A key chain with an Eiffel Tower, a lipstick and the name Paris
A super cute pocket mirror (double mirror)
And a black T-shirt with an Eiffel Tower and a writing (with little rhinestones) Paris j'adore.
My sister's gift
My birthday is approaching and since I won't be able to give my gift to my sister (twin) we already exchanged gifts :)
She got me jojoba oil and Manhattan's eyeshadow base.
I've heard so many good things about jojoba oil! I've already tested it and it feels very refreshing on my skin. I hope the eyeshadow base will help me with my makeup getting in the crease :)
And now to the final part: shopping!
I think today was the third time I went shopping this week. The first time was on Monday and I went with a friend (the same that gave me the gift). She went looking for some things for her bf and I went to find some clothes. After more than 3 hours I had nothing (my wallet was very happy) and she had lots of clothes (for herself) :P
The second time I went on Thursday and I found this lovely dress in H&M.
Unfortunately this picture was taken with a cellphone
And today I went shopping to Trieste and finally found some clothes :)
I got these:
I think this long shirt is gorgeous!
I love Marylin Monroe :)
A simple white(ish) pullover (stretchy, that's why it looks so strange)
And a nice black shirt/dress :)
Overall: I'm very very happy :D
P.S. The images are clickable
Thank you for looking and for your comments!

Orlando Bloom as Legolas
This was years ago :) C'mon he was an elf, he rode a horse, he had long blond hair and special powers + he had a bow and he knew how to use it!

Review: Fing'rs products
A while ago I was contacted by someone from Fing'rs and asked If I would like to do a review of their products.
So, here it is :)
I've received a package of 4x false nails, 1x nail glue with brush and a set of nail stickers :)
Click on images for bigger ones!
Some time ago I already did a review of false nails, so this time I didn't have any problems applying them! :D
Let's pass to the review:
The false nails EDGE and California girl come with 24 fingernails, glue and press-on tabs.
The EDGE nails are as the name suggest more edgy for all bolder girls or inner punk/goth/emo/rock chick in you. California girl nails on the other hand are more classy.
I have to say that I loved wearing such a bold design, but I also loved a more classical (but still interesting) style.
Now to some eye candy! You have seen how they look in the box but on hands? Fabulous!
Actually everyone was asking me how I did the design (especially for the last one).
To the practical part:
I wanted to try out the Brush-on Nail Glue and I loved how smooth the application was! No fingers glued to nails or parts of body! I was really impressed. But the glue didn't hold for very long. A nail fell off after a day :( and than the another, and another ... Than I decided it was just bad luck and reapplied the nails. But when I went the next day to shopping I lost 2 nails.
So I went with another design but this time I used the press-on tabs (for temporary wear). And what temporary wear! I've applied them just for taking pictures for the Plastic contest and had to reapply half of them in the middle of the shooting (15 min??). The press-on tabs/stick-on tabs remind me of the glue on that free swatches you get in magazines.
At last I've used the ultra bond glue the box comes with and I've been wearing falsies now for a week! The only damage you can see are the missing rhinestones (I'm wearing the California girl design).
Brush-On Nail Glue
Pros:
+ it makes your false nail application much easier and quicker
+ I love the brush!
+ it dries up very fast
+ it has a non stick cap! That means you don't have to use pliers every time you want to use it.
Cons:
- isn't really long-lasting
EDGE and California girl false nails
Pros:
+ pretty boxes :D
+ the instructions are simple and easy to follow
+ 12 different sizes
+ gorgeous gorgeous designs for every taste
+ a very natural look
+ great solution if your manicure failed or you have extra short nails
+ are just the right length
Cons:
- they're bad for your nails
- rhinestones fall of very quickly
- press-on tabs
Overall: I enjoyed wearing them and I have spoiled myself with them because now I don't feel like going back to my short nails. I was really happy to discover new designs of false nails and loved them very much! The sad story is that here (Slovenia) you can't get such cool designs, tops you can get a french manicure with rhinestones.
I would definitely suggest them to those who would like to have a gorgeous manicure very fast.
P.S. I still haven't used the 3D nail & toe art but I really like the design :) I will do my next manicure with them :)
Thank you for looking!
XOXO Parisky
