Be Glossy In and Out!

Mirror nails effect is the coolest trend this year. For achieving this newest look, you can use chrome nail polish, metallic nail wraps, or highly pigmented glitter powder.

Mirror nail polishes are the easiest way to obtain this effect, you just need to apply 2 coats for full opacity. You can find many brands to choose from, accordingly to every budget.


Due to thin, self-adhesive nail wraps, nails have become eye-catchers. Nail wraps are a very easy method to replicate the mirrored look.


Pigmented powder can be applied over a black base and in the end finish it with a gel top coat.



Although you can apply any color of mirror nail polish you like, I believe that the silver and gold are the most glamorous. Be glossy in and out in 2017!

The nudes with warm shades (beige, cream, caramel) and nail polishes with cool shades (gray, pink, khaki) are so pleasant and will always remain an option.




Blue is the color of spring-summer 2015 either you opt for royal blue, classic or aquamarine.

Anna Szabo and Kerry Howell have been friends for nearly 20 years. When they first met working at a law firm, the two gals bonded over their passion for makeup and their desire to leave the corporate culture.

Anna, a true Aussie with the spirit of adventure, went out and created a private label cosmetics business, making products for some of the biggest Asian and Australian companies. Kerry, a former model and makeup artist, went on to get married. They kept in touch over the years and talked often about creating their own line.

Anna’s husband, a special effects colour technician one day introduced the two to non traditional colour pigments. This began the Glitter Gal's quest to create a unique colour line inspired by the spirit of Australia.

“We began mixing our own formulas and started selling our products online. We got a phenomenal response from the blogging community.  We knew immediately that we were on to something unique.We wanted to produce proprietary quality formulas with quick to market lead times. We knew that doing so would take a big investment. We dove head first by taking our retirement savings to create our own labs and buying manufacturing equipment. We've Made a lot of sacrifices, and its been a long ride, but we've never once looked back!" says Anna optimistically. "That's the Aussie way!"

This is my favorite evening manicure. As you already know I adore the Barry M glitters and I believe they are the best from European market. In my opinion this Barry M Yellow Topaz Glitter suits the best on the L`Oreal Black Swan base and it looks like fireworks.

What you think about my Firework Nails? Did you try the Barry M glitters or any other of their products so far?

For some people, the Easter is a  moment of family`s reunion in which you wish peace and happiness, for others it is a day full of fun in which they forget about job and school and all the stress. For me it is a wonderful day and I want to share it with you.

Maybe because it is the color of the year or maybe because it is a warm spring or maybe because it represents the harmony of nature, but I am in green mood. I feel and breath Green. It is a fresh color which brings relaxation, calming, joy and spirituality.
I`ve made this manicure with L`Oreal 833 Wasabi Hint (matt). It is a color I really love now.

Do you like Green? Let me know what you think!!
