New in - April, May, June and July 2015


Once again I have collective New In. This time it includes last 4 months. I am still trying to use up my so many products in my stash and I'm keeping myself from buying more, especially when it comes to body lotions and shower gels. However, sometimes it is really hard to resist. 
First I have few sun protect products! I usually buy Sun Dance from dm. This summer was no different. I need one for my little girl and one for me and my husband. Sun is burning lately so I have SPF 50 and 20, I also have one sun protect spray from brand I've never heard before. It is called Barbuda. My mother in law gave me this one and I only used it once so I can't say much about it. Hopefully it will be useful.


I will continue this post with nail polishes. I already showed you my swatches so if you want to see how they look on my nails again, here are the links! Essence Pink To Go, Essence Have Beau-Tea-Full Day , Sally Hansen Pinch Of Punch and OPI Get Your Number.



Gorgeous L'Oreal lipstick is finally mine :) Glamor Fuchsia is beautiful and bold. One of my favorite lipsticks at the moment.


We are moving on with shower gels, body lotions and peeling that came as gifts from some family members. I was so happy when I saw Treacle Moon body lotion and three adorable mini shower gels.  Sweet Blueberry Memories smells and looks so good :) Here is also Aldo Vandini body peeling and Alverde skin butter set with 3 mini body butters in different scent. 
On the pic above I also have Britney Spears Island Fantasy and that one is purchased by me. This is my summer go to fragrance. 


Now lets go back to nail polish, I have 3 more ( four one the pic but only because OPI Get Your Number squeezed on this pic too ). Here are the links China Glaze Boho Blues, Rimmel Coralicious and Essence Festival Of Colors.


In the end I have two Balea products. Shinning Coco is shimmery shower gel ( you know I can't resist something like this ) and Balea face cream. I also have Lancome La Nuit Tresor body lotion, another gift from family. I will probably write more about these products soon.
Last product I have in this post are cosmetic cotton pads, I usually buy Ebelin cotton pads but this time I was in a hurry and I took Duchesse and next time I'm definitely going back to Ebelin.

Did you tried any of these products?

Rimmel Coralicious


Today's mani is Rimmel Coralicious. One of my new nail polishes. I got it as a gift with my latest buy on biraj.hr . It was a nice surprise and it gets better when I actually love what I got. When I looked it in the bottle I thought it is just another coral /orange but when I applied it on my nails I fell in love with it. Coralicious is one of those gorgeous red corals that I adore. True summer color.
The bottle contains 8 ml of product, it applies easily and dries quickly. I applied 2 coats.

Random nail spam #1

I have so many nail photos and some of them are always left aside. I finally decided to clean up my folder a little bit so here is little nail spam for you. There will be more posts like this in the future because I believe that I will collect more nail photos like these. I have many different things here, little bit of nail art but mostly swatches. Some of these photos are new but most of the are old.


Pastel cloud mani with: Essence Bloom-A-Loom, Essence Ahoy and Essence Chasing Waves




Glittery leopard print : Avon Color Trend Cafe Au Lait, Rimmel Sunset Bronze, Essence The Huntsman and Catrice Back To Black


Another leopard print with Golden Rose number 348 , Essence Splash Refresh and Malena number 2


This is from last year: Basic Concept Miss Piggy and Essence Make It Golden


From last week: OPI Austin - Tatious Turquise


Pretty pink: Essence Herzel


Another from long time ago: Bourjois number 15


Here is Rimmel Instyle Coral


Maybelline Honey Crystals alone, and then with FOF number 57



Here is one of my Holiday manis: Essence Don't Feed The Tiger


And the last one Essence Pool Party and Essence Crack Me Black


My nail folder looks much better now, even though it is not completely cleaned up. I think this was enough for one day :)

Do you have any of these nail polishes?

My nail polish stash: pink

Finally my pink nail polishes. I was afraid of this post because I'm a pink girl and I wasn't sure how many dupes I will find. In the end it wasn't too bad but now I'm sure that there is no need to buy any "medium" pink nail polish for a year...at least :D I probably don't need any pink nail polish for some time but let's not make fake promises :D 
Here we go! I sorted them by shade, most realistic color is in the bottle. Nail wheel refused to cooperate, but here it is anyway. You can at least see diversity among the colors side by side. As always I added short description to the pictures if you are interested in that :)


Basic Beauty number 43 - This is the lightest pink nail polish that I own. Very shimmer and very sheer. I like to use it for nail art but it is also good layering.

Rimmel Star Kissed - This one is also very light, cream base with holo glitter. Very nice!

Catrice Miss Piggy Reloaded - I like this color a lot, it is soft pink with multicolored shimmer which is very subtle. Unfortunately it is discontinued. 

Essie We're In It Together - This is a true beauty! Light pink with loads of purple / blue micro glitter. 

Essence Flamingo Roses - Light pink with silver shimmer. Just a little bit darker from Essie and Catrice.


p2 Flirt With Me! - This one is light cream pink. Since I have few nail polishes very close to this one I didn't wore it a lot. 

Catrice Sweets For My Sweets - This is one of my favorites! It is perfect for nail art because it has great opacity and it looks very pretty on it's own! Like a lighter version of Barbie pink. The base is cream with loads of darker pink shimmer which is very subtle.

Deborah Milano Ballerina Tutu - When I first saw Ballerina Tutu I knew I'm gonna buy it but I only wore it once or twice. It looks gorgeous in the bottle but on my nails is just little bit to light for my taste.

Oriflame Clover Hate - I'don't have much to say about this one except that this is my oldest nail polish and I'm afraid it will end up in trash very soon :D

Maybelline Mauve Diamonds - Hm...this one was a disappointment. It looks stunning in the bottle, so shimmery and beautiful but when you apply it on your nails there is nothing. The color isn't that pretty and it is very, very sheer. You can look at the bottle in the picture above and believe me when I say that I used it only once. You probably need million shades to make something of it!

Basic Concept Open Air Kiss - I'm not very familiar with the brand Basic Concept but I like this nail polish.This one is the darkest so far and it is very pretty. The color is very interesting, dusty pink and silver shimmer. Perfect for winter holidays.


OPI My Address Is Hollywood - This one is not light and not too bright, it is right in between. The base is cream but there is loads of golden glitter which looks very pretty especially in the sun.

Golden Rose number 268 - This one is a  cream, light but much brighter then the polishes on the first picture. Very beautiful.

China Glaze Pink Plumeria - Another favorite! The color is coral pink, it  is very bright even though it is light pink. Pink Plumeria was part of last year's China Glaze Summer Neon Collection but this isn't neon and I don't mind at all because it is so beautiful and it draws a lot of attention.

Color Club Space Case - Now this would be light pink neon with loads of multicolored glitter which is not sparkly. Weird I know, but truly beautiful.

Uma Psychic Pink - Uma is another brand I'm not familiar with. Psychic Pink is bright shimmery pink. It looks nice on the nails but I have to admit I prefer how it looks in the bottle.

Deborah Milano  Love At First Sight - I was obsessed with this nail polish when it came out, so obsessed that I have a backup bottle :) I love glitter nail polishes and this one was the closest to it at the time. The base of this nail polish is pink shimmer with pink and golden glitter!

Bourjois 1 Seconde number 15 - This one looks a lot like Deborah Milano LAFS, the same shade of pink but different formula. Instead of glitter here we have shimmer. You can guess which one I prefer ;)

Here is the wheel with all the colors so far where  you can see the difference.


Next group of polishes is the problematic one :) These are my "medium" pink nail polishes. They are not light and they art not dark, also they are not too bright. The colors are very similar so I will just add their names bellow because anything else would be too confusing. Pictures of the bottles are realistic so click on them to see them more closely. The wheel looks little bit darker then in real life but you can look at it anyway. I added numbers for each bottle and nail wheel so I hope it helps.


Basic Beauty number 18

BeYu number 334

Essence Wanted

Basic Concept Miss Piggy

Avon Viva Pink


S-he number 462

Bourjois 10 Days number 15

p2 Brilliant Cosmopolitan set

Douglas number 143

Essence Naughty And Pink!

Catrice Hot Or Not?


Sinful Colors Boom Boom

Golden Rose number 322

Sinfil Colors Folly

Essence Roy's Red

Catrice Raspberry Fields Forever

Classics number 28

Catrice Fuchsiarama


...and the same picture without flash...




Essence Let Me In Pink - Dusty pink, cream and very beautiful but somehow I always forget about it. I wish I reach for it more often.

Essence Princessorize - The only difference between this and the next one is the shimmer. Base micro shimmer is the same in both polishes, but Essence has pink, purple and blue larger shimmer while S-he has larger silver shimmer. Both look beautiful but I prefer Essence.

S-he number 467 - Look at previous description.

Sinful Colors Cream Pink - Even though the name is Cream Pink this isn't cream nail polish. The base is cream pink but there is also loads of golden micro glitter which makes this nail polish very special and beautiful.

Basic Beauty number 467 - One of my darker pinks, very nice shimmery color!


Essence Bright Alert! - with Bright Alert! we came to the bright pink group, which is my favorite. Essence Bright Alert! is a nice nail polish but probably my least favorite in the picture above. The reason is that it is too sheer and it would look the best with white base but I'm always lazy for that.

Golden Rose number 66 - This one is also very pretty but same as Bright Alert! too sheer on it's own. I bought it when I was on the mission to find perfect bright pink.

China Glaze Hang Ten Toes - Absolute favorite! I love everything about this nail polish. Gorgeous purple pink color, neon shimmer...perfection!

Color Club Ultra-Astral - This one also goes to the group of my pink favorites. Bright, bright pink with glitter. Like I already mentioned Color Club glitter is not sparkly but it looks amazing!

Golden Rose number 328 - Just like Golden Rose 66 this one is not very opaque but I like how this one looks on it's own. Cream with gel like finish.

Julep Samantha - This screams summer. Just a tiny bit darker then ultimate summer neon China Glaze Pool Party.

China Glaze Poll Party - When I bought Pool Party my mission to find perfect bright pink was completed. I adore this nail polish, perfect summer color with matte finish.


So that's it! Tell me what do you think of my pink collection? Is it too big or just right
Do you have some of these nail polishes in your stash?

Empty #8


Loreal Elvital Color Glanz shampoo - I'm using this shampoo for years and I really love it. I don't know how many times I repurchased it.

Loreal Elvital Glatt Intense shampoo and conditioner - this is the first Loreal shampoo or conditioner that disappointed me. I gave it a chance and finished both bottles but it really doesn't work on my hair. My hair looks really bad after I use this and there is no way I buy it again.

Balea Trend It Up - I finished few bottles before this one and I will probably buy it again but now when I tried Schwarzkopf Got2Be Rocking It! I'm not impressed with this one at all.

Dove Original deodorant - my all time favorite!!

Balea face wipes - great product, I will definitely repurchase this one!

Maybelline Illegal Lenght mascara  - I never dedicated separate post for Maybelline Illegal Lenght because I was never into it. Only thing that I like about this mascara is that it really gives lenght to my lashes. Other then that it is not impressive. Very often it leaves lumps and sticks my lashes together.


I also cleaned my nail polish stash a little bit:

Rimmel Sunset Bronze
Catrice Back To Black
Essence Grand-Pile In Black
Essence Circus Confetti
Essence Choose Me
Essence 24/7 nail base

My nail polish stash: orange


Essence You're My Dragonfly, Sugar - from Natventurista TE. Nice color but very sheer, I need at least 3 coats to get the opacity.

Essence Andy, You're A Star - from Whoom! Boooom!!! TE. This is bright medium orange, I was very excited about it when I bought it but actually I was never into this color.

Bourjois Coral Magique - One of my favorites. Beautiful medium coral with loads of golden shimmer / falkies. Perfect for spring / summer!

p2 Flirt Alert - Beautiful cream color but when I bought it I realized that I have few colors that are very close to this one. So, this is the last orange that I picked up because I realized that I have enough of them and that I always reach for the same colors. 

Essence Queen Of My Cloud Castle - from Fantasia TE. This color is very pretty but almost the same as previous one. The difference is gorgeous micro multi colored shimmer in this one.

China Glaze Flirty Tankini - Another beauty but also another nail polish that is so close to something else in my stash. I even made a post dedicated to China Glaze Flirty Tankini and Essence Queen Of My Cloud Castle because they are so close. They are not 100% dupes but they are not very different. Between the two I prefer Flirty Tankini.



Rimmel Instyle Coral - This group of polishes is... let's say a dupe group. For a while I was reaching for corals and now I have few dupes. Instyle Coral is just a tiny bit lighter then Essence Off To Miami! and Sinful Colors Boogie Nights.

Essence Off To Miami! - Cream coral 

Sinful Colors Boogie Nights - Cream coral, click here to see closer comparison to Rimmel Instyle Coral and Essence Boogie Nights

Catrice I Scream Peach - Very nice spring / summer color. One of my first Catrice nail polishes. It might look like Sinful Colors Hazard on the pictures but they are not the same, close but this one is brighter.

Sinful Colors Hazard - I got this one in a swap and I was very happy with my choice when I got it. I love Hazard because it is a bright color but it kinda looks like a pastel. Weird, I know but beautiful.



China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy - One of most popular China Glaze polishes. The color is awesome, so bright and perfect for summer...but the formula is just bad. No matter how many layers I have it is always unevem. I still use it a lot because I adore the color.

p2 Electric - Now here is another dupe group. In my defense I have to say that I bought only one by myself from three dupe nail polishes I have here. p2 Electric is a classic orange picked up by my boyfriend.

MUA I Want You - I got this one as a gift with my MUA order, another classic orange. Cream finish, 2 coats are enough for full opacity.

Essence Orange Sunset - from Bondi Beach TE. Now this one I picked up by myself, at the time it was unique in my collection. Just like previous two it is a cream orange. This color is great for summer but I like to wear colors like this any time of year.

Essence Why Not? - This is one of few Essence Multi Dimension that I still have. It was one of my favorites when I bought it but I haven't used it for a long time, I think it would take a hundred years for it to dry. Anyway, it is a very nice shimmery orange!

Essence You're The One - This one is the darkest one from all polishes I have here today. I like to wear it time to time but I remember when I bought it, it was on my nails all the time!

Maybelline Peach Cocktail -  One of the prettiest summer nail polishes. I usually wear it on my toes. The color is really beautiful, bright and very shimmery!



Nivea Cherry Glace - Beautiful coral which I haven't used for a very long time, it is a lot like Avon Coral Reef that I used up, so now I will probably reach for this one more often. 

S-he number 208 - Another beauty, orange with loads of silver shimmer and orange flakies. What I love about this one and other S-he nail polishes is that they dry so fast. I usually use it when I'm in a hurry. 

Essence Candycotion - from Crazy Good Times TE - Very close to S-he 208 but this one is even more beautiful. Jelly formula with loads of orange flakies.


Bourjois number 11 - This is a red orange, in the bottle it is more orange but on the nails looks more red. very nice color.

Sinful Colors Timbleberry - My favorite from today! This is one of those prefect summer colors that is so beautiful that you wear it all year long. The color is very interesting. It is a coral but it has a pink and sometime redish tone in it, it just depends on the light. Perfection!

Golden Rose number 322 - This one is very close to Sinful Colors Timbleberry, this is a redish coral. Very beautiful and eye catching color.


I'm finally done with orange, honestly I was little bit afraid of it because I knew that I fave few dupe colors. For that reason I decided to stay away from them for a while because I obviously like the same colors. Now when I see a nice orange / peach / coral in drugstores I just keep going! I hope that next week I will show you my pink nail polishes and I have to say  I'm terrified of that because I'm a pink girl and I really hope that it is not too crazy!

What is your favorite orange nail polish?

My nail polish stash: purple


Avon Color Trend Heavenly - One of the nail polishes that I have the longest. The color is nice and soft, purple base with loads of purple and silver shimmer.
No name nail polish - I have this one for a very long time too. This is another light purple but this one has duochrome effect, it goes from purple to blue.
Avon Magical Mauve - light, shiny purple. I can't remember the last time I wore it...
Essence Bloom-A-Loom from Blossoms Etc. TE. One of my favorite nail polishes. Pastel purple with multi coloured shimmer.
S-he number 375 - I love this color, it is a pastel purple with loads of pink shimmer. Unfortunately it is very sheer so I don't wear it very much.



Essence Meet Me Now! - Very beautiful nail polish, I used it a lot lately. The color is creamy violet, I like to wear it alone but it is also great for nail art.
MUA Love U 24/7 - This is one of the products that I got as a gift with my MUA order. At first I thought that this is great because I don't have a color like this. If you look at the picture above you can see that that isn't true. I quickly remembered that I have almost 100% dupe in Catrice Lucky In Lilac
Catrice Lucky In Lilac - So, this is almost exactly the same thing like MUA Love U 24/7. Both are cream classic purples.
p2 Poetic - This one is little bit darker then previous two. They look really close when you look at the bottles but on the nails, Poetic is darker and colder color.
Essence Oh My Glitter! - This is one of my favorites purples. The color is definitely in the same category like MUA, Catrice and p2 but what makes it special is the pink and blue glitter.



Bourjois number 17 - this is one of those colors that is hard to put it the color category. To me it is closest to purple. Very pretty color, perfect for fall and winter!
Manhattan 65K - This colors is something in between of purple and magenta. Either way very pretty, great for cold days.
Julep Helena - this would be my favorite from all the polishes I'm showing you today. This purplicious magenta is really stunning and eye catching. Love it! Unfortunately this beauty is very difficult to photograph, to see the real color click.
Rimmel Purple Pulse - This is one of the polishes I got in a swap. Very pretty color, a bit sheer but looks great with three coats.
Essence Little Miss Bright - from Season Of Extremes TE. This color is really close to Rimmel Purple Pulse but only tiny bit darker, when you look at the bottles they look exactly the same. This one is also little bit sheer so you need three coats to get full opacity. 
Essence Dress To Party - This is one of few Essence Multi Dimension polishes that I still have. This color is very similar to the previous two but a little bit darker and this one is shimmery. Nice color but I never really liked it that much...



Rimmel Pompous - This nail polish is very popular, most girls like it but I'm not too crazy about it. I bought it long time ago because it looks gorgeous in the bottle but on the nails it is little bit different and I don't like it. It is that purple blue color...I can't remember last time I had it on my nails but now that I look at the bottle it looks so pretty and I think I will give it another try!
Essence Lil@c - from @holografics.com - this nail polish isn't actually holo it is duochrome, goes from purple to blue and grey. Very interesting color!
Manhattan 610W - Dark purple with loads of silver shimmer. Pretty!
Deborah Milano no. 839 - In the bottle it looks amazing, dark purple with loads of purple flakies...on the nails it isn't pretty at all. It's not shinny at all and it feels like you have something different on your nails.
Essence Alice Had A Vision - Again -from Breaking Down part 2 collection. Alice is a purple beauty with lots and lots of purple, blue and green flakies.




Essence Thelma - This is the darkest purple I own, very nice cream.
Essence True Love - from Vampire's Love TE. Another one that looks gorgeous in the bottle but a bit boring on the nails. Still it is beautiful color.
Color Club Glitter Wonderland - I bought this one recently and I'm in love with this color. Purple base with purple, pink, blue...glitter. Hopefully I will post my swatch of this and next color soon.
Color Club Gift Of Sparkle - I love this one as much as I love Glitter Wonderland. Beautiful purple with loads of holografic glitter. Perfect holiday and winter nail polish.




Misslyn Dragonfly - this nail polish is actually a top coat. It came out in Limited Edition Peacock and you are supposed to apply it over black. I tried that and hated it, I didn't tried it after that. It has duochrome effect.
Essence Love, Peace And Purple - from You Rock! TE - Dark, muddy purple with loads of purple shimmer. This polish was also very popular because this seams to be a dupe for Chanel Paradoxal. 
Catrice Purplelized - Metallic shimmery purple. Very nice!
Catrice Dirty Berry - This one is also one of my favorite purple nail polishes. It is very interesting...the color is dusty purple with holografic shimmer. It looks gorgeous in the sun!


This would finally be it. What is your favorite purple nail polish?
