Haul~~

Ya~~~~y!!

My friend is back from her trip to the USA and brought the treasure I had sent to her boyfriend's place. *-*
My account is not happy right now, but I'm sooo happy - it's all worth it. Hehe.

3x Milani 3D, 3x Zoya, 4x OPI, 1x essie, 1x Nubar, 2x Catrice
I also found the Catrice Out of Space LE in my favourite drugstore and had to buy two of the polishes. My drugstore usually doesn't sell Catrice. I have to drive about 45km to buy Catrice, so this was a nice find. They still didn't restock the p2 Deep Water Love though. I asked last time and they said it would be restocked within the week. That was at the beginning of last week. >___>" Still trying to get one of the polishes for a fellow polish addict.

Just one teardrop... There were two more polishes my friend brought... one OPI and one China Glaze. The OPI is definitely a fake... not sure about the China Glaze. Does somebody now if there are fake CG polishes and how to identify them? Let's see what PayPal purchase protection will do...

Mio geht es wieder gut!

Mio ist wieder da!

Er war ja vergangene Woche sehr krank geworden, hatte hohes Fieber, Schüttelfrost und konnte nicht mehr laufen. Wir dachten schon, es wäre um ihn geschehen. Horrorstories findet man im Internet ja genug...



Mio war letztenendes 4 Tage stationär in der Tierklinik aufgenommen und wurde rund um die Uhr versorgt. Was er hatte wissen wir aber immer noch nicht. Da ein Wochenende dazwischen war, meinte der Tierarzt, dass man zwar Blut zum Testen einschicken könnte, das Ergebnis dann aber wegen dem Wochenende erst Mitte der Woche zu erwarten sei und bis dahin wäre Mio entweder tot oder wieder gesund.

Das Fieber ist aber sehr schnell nach der Antibiotika-Gabe gesunken, weshalb der Tierarzt davon ausgeht, dass es keine Impfreaktion war (die Symptome passten ja wie die Faust aufs Auge...), sondern eine septische Polyarthritis. Bakterien haben in Mios Gelenken wohl eine eitrige Entzündung verursacht. Es war also gut, dass er in der Klinik geblieben ist... da hätte auch eine Blutvergiftung draus werden können... :(

Jetzt ist er aber wieder daheim. Die ersten beiden Tage war er noch etwas ruhig und wackelig auf den Beinen, aber mittlerweile rast er herum als wäre nichts gewesen. Da bin ich natürlich sehr froh drum! Nur abgenommen hat er in den letzten Tagen gewaltig... aber das hat er bald wieder drauf! :)

Under the sea

Lately I'm really in love with green and teal shades. Basically, I'm in love with them since I won Sarah's giveaway that contained two awesome shades by models own. Looking at them I had this idea of an aquatic design. It took me a while to get around doing it, but I was really satisfied when I finally finished it. Especially because it was the first time in a few weeks that I actually did some nail art.


I have this habit of painting my nails so it looks right for me... but it always turns out to be hard to photograph in the end. So, I rotated this picture...

I used both the teal shades I got from Sarah, as well as every single teal and green shade I own. I first painted my nails with the darker of the two models own polishes (Slate Green) and then sponged the other colors on. That was the point when I first realized that the design I had in mind couldn't be done with the polishes I have. The difference of the shades is just not big enough to really pop. I imagined a nice sponged background and then stamp it with the metallic blue, green and silver shades I have. Like layering them. But well, won't do. So I decided on doing what I could and make it pop using glitter. Luckily, I had some blue and silver glitter sitting around as well as the holo polishes from Tera, that I also used in the end.



It doesn't look like what I wanted to do, but I still loved it. It was all sparkly, shiny and glossy. I'm satisfied with it because the colors are harmonizing. It was also very fun to do.

One thing I noticed: I barely had any tip wear even after one week of having this design on my nails. It could either be that models own polishes and my nails get along. On the other hand, I'm currently trying to get my nails in a more or less square shape. So maybe the new shape doesn't cause me so much tip wear while working. Please ignore my index finger nail though... couldn't get it into square shape that day :D

I wish there was some sun... those are all indoor pictures and none of them really show how pretty it was. :S
