Christmas nails and holiday's decorations

This year I went with the classic Christmas colours, red and gold. Al least I think this are classic colours. Although the red in some pictures looks classic red it is not, it is a dark red. This was my first Catrice polish ant it was discontinued ages ago. It goes with the name Let's Talk About Barrie! but it is not berry, it's a regular dark red.

On my accent nails I put some gold. I choose to put gold just on accent nails, because I can't be bothered with the removal of glitter. I think I will have enough trouble with these two nails already. The glitter nail polish is from Essence, again a discontinued one, Make it golden.

Here are some more photos of my nails and of our holiday's decoration. Outside and inside the house.

What I'm reading + NOTD pt.8

If you like love stories intertwined with action then Guillaueme Musso is the right author for you. I read at least four of his novels, some I like better that others. But in general they are fun and easy to read and are a nice entertainment. 

In Angels Call (original title L'Appel de L'ange) total strangers Madeline Green and Jonathan Lempereur accidentally swap smartphones at an airport, By the time they realise what's happened, they're on opposite sides of the Atlantic, and have begun to learn rather more about each other. Mild curiosity turns to obsession as their mobiles reveal secrets from their past lives. Having never met properly, they begin to feel intimately acquainted and, as their lives draw closer, events and feelings begin to race out of control...

The nail polish is from Essence, again limited edition one, but I think you can still get this one. And to tell you the truth I bought it just because the bottle was cute. The other colours from this collection were nicer, but I already have simmilar colours so I chose this one, 02 purple with purpose. 

I have applied just one coat of it, because it was rather thick and one coat was enough for full opacity. The application was not the nicest, so I would rather have a little bit thinner formula.

Am I the only one who buys products just for the cute packaging (sometimes, not all the time) or are you also guilty of doing this?

Have a great day! :)
 

What I'm reading + NOTD pt.7

Look at this beautiful cover! I must say that the covers play a big factor when I'm choosing a book in the library. Maybe the book is going back on the shelf when I read a short describtion of it, but at least I will pick it up. And this one with its beautiful cover was noticed :)

The author of Middlemarch is George Eliot, but did you know that George Eliot is a pen name of Mary Ann Evans? She used a male pen name, she said, to ensure her works would be taken seriously. Female authors were published under their own names during Eliot's life, but she wanted to escape the stereotype of women only writing lighthearted romances. 

Middlemarch, A Study of Provincial Life was first published in eight instalments (volumes) during 1871–2. The novel is set in the fictitious Midlands town of Middlemarch during 1829–32 and it comprises several distinct (though intersecting) stories and a large cast of characters. Significant themes include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education.

Middlemarch is written as a third-person narrative, centering on the lives of the residents of Middlemarch, a fictitious Midlands town, from 1829 onwards — the years preceding the 1832 Reform Act. The narrative is variably considered to consist of three or four plots of unequal emphasis: the life of Dorothea Brooke; the career of Tertius Lydgate; the courtship of Mary Garth by Fred Vincy; and the disgrace of Bulstrode. The two main plots are those of Dorothea and Lydgate.Each plot happens concurrently, although Bulstrode's is centred in the later chapters.

The book in Slovenian language was published in 2015 and it is devided in two parts/books. I read the first part, and I will read the second in near future. 

The nails go so well with the cover :) And I like this deep berry colour so much! This one is again from a limited edition, from 2012 I think and it is Essence Home Sweet Home LE - 03 Hot Fruit Punch. 

Because it took me a while to read this I have another polish to show you.

The second one is from Catrice wit the name Karl Says Tres Chic. I like the fisrt one better, I think that the darker colours look better on me. What do you think?

Have a nice day ;)

A night out, enjoying ourselves on Editors concert

For three years now I manage to visit a concert and to go on one music festival once a year. I know it's not a lot, but it's something. This years concert that I chose was of Editors, and it was great!

Here are some pictures (not edited or anything).

And this is me, all in black, with golden eyes and pinkish lips. 

The lipstick is actually the one I reviewed, Catrice Ultimate Stay Plum & Base. I don't know why is so pink in this picture, it should be a little bit more violet and darker. Like in the picture below, although the picture is not the best quality. 

The concert was in Ljubljana, in Kino Šiška. The whole experience was really good, from the place, the bend, the people. A nice evening really. 

What about you, do you like concerts? Or is the croud there making you uncomfortable?

Have a great day!
