Dance legend iridescent rainbow nail polishes

This line of nail polish, originally called "сияющая радуга", is the very reason i fell in love with  Dance legend brand. 
The application is superb, the color and finish combinations just blow opi, orly, China glaze and others out of the water. 
The finish is glossy and  feels a bit like an elastic ( dont wanna say rubber) film. 
I always use a drying top coat ( seche vite at the moment), cuz I hate waiting and extra glossiness never hurt no one ;)
I could talk , and talk, and talk about it, but let me show you some examples: 
Dance legend 37
Greige color base with pink duochrome + iridescent semi-linear holographic effect

Dance legend 48
Video clip on Instagram of my manicure with it:
This mix is so complex that I can't even formulate what prime colors it consists of. The base color is some kind of beige or maybe gray. The duochrome is between olive green and copper peach, plus the linear holo PLUS the whitish silver shimmer that looks like haze / silver fog on top of the nail polish. 
I mean - this i'll have to photograph again and maybe devote a whole video to it, the pictures I have don't do it justice at all!

Dance legend 59 
My favorite scattered black holo!
To be precise it is not an exact black, it is a dark grey asphalt type of color. If you wanted Chanel black pearl in holo version - this is it!

New European nail polish brands in my collection

Oh boy! I've discovered some quite fascinating nail polish brands during my summer trip to Eastern and Western Europe! 
I have do much swatches and manicures spam that I wonder if I can post it all before Christmas, really:)))
To start it on a cheerful and intriguing note here are my nails of the day: speckled dusty pink by El Corazon 82 and black holographic by Aurelia 128
I love the quality and application of both of these. The only problem I had was smudging of the black over the nude nail polish, when I applied seche vite on top. Quite an unexpected behavior I must say, with orly sec n dry I didn't have that problem.

OOTD with high low skirt, ombre denim shirt & manicure

I don't know, what particular style this outfit really corresponds to, but I would call it "pinup girl meets shabby chic". Maybe you fashionistas can tell me more on, how to classify this mix!:)

China Glaze Hey Doll swatches, tutorial and review

I bought this shade originally from transdesign.com (a while ago).
I was quite fascinated, how balanced the color+shimmer was and how dusty yet vibrant it looked on my nails.
So I went ahead and made a video swatches, application and review. sometimes pictures just don't cut it!
Enjoy;)

Emerald Green and Purple manicure: Essie loves Zoya

Another powerful duo: Essie Trophy wife and Zoya Mimi!

If you look at the last 10 nail related blog posts of mine, you'll see that Essie Trophy wife is one of my favorite accent colors. I don't know why, but I'm as inspired by it on its own, it's a bit much, but as a punch of color, luxurious metallic texture - I love it!

New jewelry I made all in one video!

Sometimes it's better to see it "in person", rather than look at a dosen pictures!
So I recorded a video, where you can look at my new jewelry creations, see the textures, compare the sizing, look at the shine and color reflections!:))
Kisses, Maria TwosRuse.

Sephora Sweet Beige Ultra Vinyl Lip Pencil swatches

Another  5$ purchase, and totally my type of shade. I didn't even know who much I would call it mine, because the beige color didn't look especially appealing until I put it on my lips!
