Just a quick update

Hi all, just wanted to let you know I haven't gone AWOL again.
I'm not going to be updating for a few more days cause I started a new training course at the hospital and I have a few things going on right now (including the Italian Supernatural convention around Easter XD). Swear I'll be back soon!

Ciao a tutte, giusto due parole per farvi sapere che non sono morta. Non potrò aggiornare il blog per qualche altro giorno perchè ho iniziato il corso per l'accettazione delle analisi al Pertini ed ho anche altri vari impegni (tra cui la convention italiana di Supernatural, se sapete di che sto parlando XD). Quindi giuro che tornerò presto, ma credo dopo Pasqua.

Baci!!
XOXO

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Amber Ruby

Hi again. On this sunny day I have Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Amber Ruby for you. It's a duochrome, it flashes bronze and reddish gold.
Application was somewhat of a nightmare. This thing would not dry! I struggled to achieve my usual 3 layers, and the end result isn't perfect, but it'll have to do. :)







Please click on this last pic to view it correctly.
In fact click on them all! ;)

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Emerald Amethyst

Today I'm going to show you Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Emerald Amethyst. It's a duochrome, mainly purple with green and gold flashes.
I really like this one, it resembles the color of the taffeta dress I wore for my 18h birthday party. I may have hated the (huge) dress but I loved the color. :)
3 coats, no top coat (it's really glossy, though).
Please click for bigger&better.

Oggi vi mostro Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Emerald Amethyst. E' bicromatico, il viola predomina ma si notano anche il verde e l'oro.
Questo colore mi ricorda il vestito che ho indossato per la festa per i miei 18 anni. Avrò anche odiato quella mostrosità (grazie mamma XD) ma il colore mi piaceva. :)
Al solito 3 passate, niente top coat (ma lo smalto è molto lucido di suo).
Per favore cliccate sulle foto per vederle meglio.

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Pink Rose Diamond

How's everyone doing today? I'm a bit bummed about the terrible weather we've been having lately, I wish I had a bit of sun to do more swatching...
Good news is I still have enough material to continue the Nail Prisms special!
Today's color is Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Pink Rose Diamond, a pretty prismatic pink. Pics are 3 coats, no top coat. :)

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Turquoise Opal

Hi, I apologise for the lack of posts, but don't worry, I haven't gone away again. ;)
To prove how much I still care about you I think I'll share one of my favourite Nail Prisms, Sally Hansen Turquoise Opal. This is a gorgeous duochrome that shifts from purple to blue and even to brownish gold. Like all Nail Prisms it's very sheer, so index and middle are 4 coats of just Turquoise Opal, while ring and little finger are 2 coats of Turquoise Opal over 1 coat of black polish. No top coat.

_____________

Buon giorno, mi scuso per la mancanza di post di questi ultimi giorni, ma non c'è pericolo, non vi ho abbandonati. ;)
Oggi sul menu c'è Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Turquoise Opal, uno smalto effetto multicromatico che va dal viola al blu e persino al dorato-marrone-rosso. Come tutti gli smalti di questa linea è molto liquido, quindi sull'indice e il medio ne ho passato 4 strati, mentre su anulare e mignolo ne ho dato 2 passate su 1 strato di smalto nero. Non ho aggiunto top coat.

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Purple Diamond

Hi, I hope you're enjoing this Nail Prisms special as much as I am. :)
Today's pick is Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Purple Diamond. It's a prismatic light purple. There isn't much else to say about it. It's pretty and purple and I took a lot of pictures of it for no other reason...
In the pics I'm wearing 3 coats on ring finger, 2 on all others, and no top coat.






Buongiorno! Spero che lo speciale sui Nail Prisms stia piacendo a voi quanto a me. :)
Lo smalto di oggi è Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Purple Diamond.
Non c'è molto da dire a riguardo. E' viola ed è carino, e gli ho fatto un sacco di foto solo per questa ragione. :)
Nelle foto: 3 passate sul medio e 2 sul resto. Niente top coat.

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms South Sea Pearl

Up next is Sally Hansen Nail Prisms South Sea Pearl, a duochrome. It shifts from pearly glittery gold to pearly pink. It's really sheer and runny but still manageably so. I don't really like wearing sheers since I used to bite my nails pretty viciously and that causes the white part of my nail to start higher up than normal.
Pics are 3 coats, no top coat.




Lo smalto di oggi è Sally Hansen Nail Prisms South Sea Pearl, bicromatico che passa da un oro perlato con del glitter a un rosa perlato.
E' decisamente trasparente e un pò troppo liquido, ma me la sono cavata. Non amo indossare smalti che lascino trasparire l'unghia perchè dal momento che avevo l'abitudine di mangiarmi le unghie, la parte bianca inizia molto più in alto del normale, e non mi piace si veda...
Nelle foto vedete 3 passate senza top coat.

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Diamond 01

Let's start off the first Nail Prisms week with one of the most famous polishes: Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Diamond 01.
I love this one to pieces, even if it takes 4 coats for it to stop being too sheer.
No top coat was applied. :)







Per iniziare la prima settimana di Nail Prisms ho scelto Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Diamond 01, uno dei più famosi della linea.
Lo adoro, anche se ci vogliono almeno 4 passate perchè non si veda l'unghia sotto.
Niente top coat nelle foto. :)

A proper look at my Sally Hansen Nail Prisms collection

Hi there, hope you all had a pleasant week end.

I'm starting this week off with another theme. Last year I posted pics of a few of the Sally Hansen Nail Prisms I got on eBay but I'm not satisfied with my old camera, so I'm going to redo it all and finish it this time. :)



Diamond, South Sea Pearl, Purple Diamond, Turquoise Opal



Pink Rose Diamond, Golden Tourmaline, Emerald Amethyst, Ruby Sapphire, Bronze Coral



Ruby Sapphire, Garnet Lapis, Ruby Emerald, Amber Ruby



As you can see I own two bottles named 'Ruby Sapphire', and their contents are reeeeeally different. But we'll get there. ;)

So, starting tomorrow, it's Nail Prisms week!

_____________

Salve a tutte, spero abbiate passato un buon week end!

Questa settimana sarà la settimana dedicata ai Sally Hansen Nail Prisms. L'anno scorso avevo iniziato a fotografare questi straordinari colori, ma ho deciso di rifare tutte le foto con la nuova macchina fotografica e di portare a termine il progetto, stavolta.
I Nail Prisms li ho acquistati su eBay da venditori diversi, per la maggior parte dal Regno Unito. Questa linea non è più in produzione da anni, ma a volte ancora si trovano su eBay.

A domani con il primo smalto!
