Blogging Space Decor & More

As I've mentioned occasionally on my Instagram, I'm still in the quest of creating the perfect blogging space. So far I'm almost done with it, and there's only couple of details missing (mainly from my inspo board). Recently I got to add some of my missing details to my space thanks to Coconut Lane.

My Night Time Routine

I've shared many things with you throughout the years, but I think night time routine isn't one of them. Having a routine before bed is one of the key things to get a good night's sleep, and I for one love getting myself all relaxed before going to bed. Of course having a pretty environment for that helps too, so I've tried my best to make the bedroom as cozy as possible despite my blogging corner being there as well. So our bedroom has an aesthetic of white and light grey with some blackish details and only hint of color. That is a peaceful colorscheme for me and I've slept so well in this new place.

Neon Leopard & Victoria's Secret

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ Today marks my birthday, and I'll be spending it by getting to Helsinki where we'll stay before getting to Canada on Tuesday. I'm hoping to get a nice coffee or meal to celebrate a bit today, but we will also be seeing one of my dearest friends tomorrow and of course the trip itself is quite an amazing present. So no complaints whatsoever.

Today, I'm sharing two fun nail art designs with you. Both of these are something I would gladly wear for my birthday, but I'm actually having a bit different design (see my Instagram for more!). Still, I really love these two designs a lot.

That Classic Leather Jacket (+ Firmoo Review)

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ It's a lovely new week, and I'm so excited for what's to come. I don't remember when I've last been this excited for a brand new week, but somehow, I am. I feel like this week I will get a lot of things out of my hands, and it is 50 days to go until the biggest trip I've ever been to. So that's super exciting. I'll be telling you more later when the time comes.

Today, I'll be sharing this spring outfit with you. It's finally starting to look a bit like spring here in Finland, so what's better time to dig out those leather jackets, high heels and aviators - and rock them outside. I personally think a proper leather jacket is the best item for the spring (and well, always, but that's whole another thing), because it's great for layering, it is a classic piece and it is a great way to bring some edgy and even sexy to a look without actually revealing anything. This time, I went for a very simple and casual look with the jacket:

Valentine's Nails With Born Pretty Store #4

Hello lovelies! How are you? ♥ I know I'm a little late with this post - sorry! - but life happened this weekend and it messed up my schedule pretty good. Saturday went by speding time with loved ones, and on Sunday, I was going to post on the evening but while we were driving home, something happened. We were driving 80 km/h, and in front of us was a truck driving. Suddenly a ginormous chunk of ice appeared from under the truck, and I had about a second to decide what to do. I wasn't going to try to take it with a tire (because who knows where the car would have flown from there), I couldn't take another lane because that was for people coming from opposite direction - and full, and I couldn't pull to the side because there was no room either. So I drove straight to the block. And our car broke. That left us driving to the nearest gas station, calling 20 calls to everyone and their mother, and then there was the question of getting home from 100 km away. So we took a train with our luggage and the insurance company arranged a towing for the car for Monday. The car is still on another town, and a mechanic there promised to get it fixed within a couple of weeks. 

I'm happy to be alive and healthy, because that could've gone so badly. I have been extremely stressed because of this (and all the calls I've had to make) a couple of days, but it's getting better now. So, like I said, I'm sorry for the sad posting schedule this weekend, but better late than never, right?

Anyway, to lighter topic. Nails. Today I'm showing you the fourth design I created in collaboration with Born Pretty Store. And although the theme here was very much Valentine's day, I think these are cute whenever.

Valentine's Nails With Born Pretty Store #3

Hello lovelies! How are you all today? ♥ I'm currently traveling a bit, but still able to post this one for you. (Yay!) I was planning to post this today morning, but because of anxiety attack, I had to postpone this a bit. I hope that's cool with you. So, today, I'm sharing third of my Valentine's Day nail inspiration posts. The last one will be up tomorrow, so that you can see all the designs before the big day - in case you need some fancy nails for a V-day date.

But now, let's get to today's design:

Valentine's Nails With Born Pretty Store #2

Hello lovelies! How are you today? ♥ It's been quite busy for me the past few days, with work, life and so on. I'm quite sad that sometimes postpones my blog posts, but on the other hand I rather cater a bit less posts but try to keep to quality good. I hope you understand. On the brighter note, I've managed to take outfit pictures so I can have normal posting schedule up very soon. I feel like outfit posts are the easiest to write because they have a bit less detail to explain than nail and beauty posts, so they are easy throw out there in a rush too, as long as the pictures are looking good and you remember to tell the origins of the clothes. So yay for having more outfit pics!

But today, however, I have another Valentine's day nail art design for you.

NYE Outfit Idea

Hey lovelies! How are you? ♥ I hope you've all had an amazing Christmas time and that you are all ready for the New Year's stuff and the coming year 2016. I'm super excited because we will have a little party at our place on NYE and I've literally been crazy about it for a week now. Today, I took some pictures of the look I might wear for the occasion, but the final look you'll see on NYE.

Clarria Cosmetics Flawless Foundations Review

Hey lovelies! How are you today? I'm super excited since I finally get to talk about a cool cooperation I am lucky enough to be part of. So, who else loves makeup? And who else wants to find products that are as natural as possible? If you answered yes to either, or both, you might be in for a treat today. I will share you my experience with Clarria Cosmetics.

Clarria describes themselves on their website like this: "Based in New York City, Clarria Cosmetics is your trusted brand when it comes to elegant, opulent, and luxurious beauty products for women. We offer top quality natural and organic cosmetic products that are safe for the skin. On our site, you can choose from a wide selection of beauty products in order to ensure that you get the perfect item that will help you satisfy your beauty needs." Clarria is a new line of cosmetics, and when  I heard they're organic, I knew I had to try them out.

i say Products

Hello my lovelies!

How are you all today?

I've been having a great day with work, baking, training and all the other stuff. I'm going to keep today's post quite short because I should be already sleeping but instead I need to go to shower and do other things first. So, to the point, right?

DSC07776 (Large)

Last month, I received a package from Reddville, containing all sorts of little pink boxes. They were i say products, which are targeted for women, and especially for taking care for your intimate parts. I still keep blushing as I type this, because this topic isn't necessarily natural for me. But, let's give it a try, were all friends here, right?

So the i say products have both tests (for intimate infections) and care products (both daily and for the infections) in the range, and luckily I haven't needed all of them yet. But I can say I find it very interesting that they have launched this kind of line, because the packaging is so cute even I would feel comfortable buying them if I needed one. 

Bonus product was a Sea-Band sickness preventing bands, which can relieve morning sickness during pregnancy, motion sickness or even sickness caused by radical medical treatments. I'm not pregnant so far, and don't suffer ill feelings too much anyway, but I'm very curious to try them out if I will get bad morning sickness in the future.

DSC07778 (Large)

Now, there are couple of things I have tried, and actually liked so far. Those are the intimate wipes (as I'm a sucker for any cleansing wipes in general) and the intimate mousse intended as a part of your daily shower routine. Both of the products have Cranberry-Active compound in them (as all the products besides the tests), which supposedly is good for your lady parts, as cranberry in general is. I think these cleansing product work nicely, and I've felt pretty good using them so far. (TMI already?)

I can't say too much about the tests so far, but the thought of being able to test some intimate infections at home instead of an awkward visit to the doctor sounds very tempting to me. If you happen to need a balancing product, I think these should be at least considered as an option.

Hope this wasn't way TMI for you all, I promise next one will be lighter one!

Now, I'm heading to shower and bed, because I'm already terribly behind my schedule. But that's why they've invented caffeine, right? ;)

Have a fabulous day you all ♥

Sunny As Hawaiian Tropic

Hello darlings!

How are you all today? ♥

I've had an amazing weekend with my man, and I'm pretty excited to start the work week tomorrow again. I enjoy my internship quite a lot, so getting up early feels all worth it and more. I hope and believe this feeling will stay until the end because the place I work in is simply amazing and the people are so supportive.

And talking about support, today I'm going to talk about how you can support your skin this summer.

DSC07114 (Large)

I got these Hawaiian Tropic products sent to me by Reddville to test out and possibly post about. I think it's amazing to get to try these out, since I've used their products last summer, and loved them then. Now, there are some new ones out, and I'm pretty excited to wear them now that days are getting sunny.

DSC07115 (Large)

Golden Tint Protective Lotion (SPF 15)

First of the products is Golden Tint Protective Lotion, which is this year's newbie. It gives you a cute golden tint while also protects your skin from the sun with SPF 15. I actually tested this out on my skin (see the pic below), and while I saw a slight difference in real life, I don't think my camera quite captured it. This product smells amazing and will surely be my go-to soon, when I wanna be out in the sun more.

DSC07117 (Large)

DSC07118 (Large)

Shimmer Effect Protective Lotion (SPF 25)

This one is also pretty adorable, as it truly gives this little sparkle for your skin. I think this would be perfect with little tan, as it would make your skin glow, while again protecting it from the sun. It has SPF 25, so with this you can be pretty calm in the sun.

DSC07122 (Large)

Protective Dry Spray Oil (SPF 10)

This one is already my friend as I used this last summer. I think this is great for the days it's not too sunny, and when you try to get some tan on you. It feels great on the skin, smells amazing and actually works pretty well on the sun. It smells s much like coconuts and is an absolute pleasure to use. I'm so happy I got this, as I would've went and bought it for the beach anyway. I love this product and can actually recommend based on my experience with it.

DSC07123 (Large)

Silk Hydration Face Lotion (SPF 30)

Last but not least, this face lotion that is designed to take care of the delicate skin on your face. I love how pretty this looks in the bottle, it reminds me of ice cream or frozen yogurt. This feels very nice on the skin, and once again I love the smell of it. I love the fact this one can be worn under makeup, so I can properly protect my face from the sun while still rocking a look I want without a worry. I will be trying this one out properly very soon, but so far it seems very promising.

As a super pale person, I love that these products all have the protection against both UVA and UVB and they're also tested to be good even for sensitive skin (and allergic people). They are also waterproof up to 80 mins, which is pretty great if you like hang out on a beach or by the pool. The products with SPF 15 or higher have also the recommendation from the Skin Care Foundation, which to me sounds very assuring.

Have you tried out Hawaiian Tropic before? What did you think about it?

Now, I need to go catch some sleep, but I will be back soon with another new post. In the meantime, you can follow me on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook to keep up with the latest little things in my life.

Have a sunny start for your week! ♥

Starting Summer With Rimmel London

Hello lovelies!

How are you today? ♥

I had a great day at work, perfected with a nice salmon salad dinner when I got home. My man has business elsewhere for a couple of days, so I'm enjoying the time alone binge-watching Once Upon A Time and eating lightly (no red meat for a couple of days, so my body will be thankful). Just now, I'm baking some gluten free bread so I can have warm treat as an evening snack.

Today, I wanted to talk a little bit about cosmetics. I got to test out some Rimmel products, and I really want to share some opinions about them.

DSC07101 (Large)

Rimmel Rita Ora Nail Polishes Roll In The Grass, Glaston-Berry and Peachella

As you all probably know, I'm obsessed (read: addicted) to nail polishes. Even though I usually go for China Glaze ones, I like to try others every once in a while too. When these three beauties were sent to me, I naturally had to test them out right away. First thing I can say that I absolutely love the names - especially Peachella - because they remind me of summer so much.

DSC07102 (Large)

And here are the swatches. Peachella is a beautiful peach color, very bright and vibrant. I think this is my favorite out of the three. It's a nice alternative for nude polish for summer time. Glaston-Berry is a bright red that actually reminds me of strawberries, so I feel the name is on point. It's very pigmented and I loved using it for nail art. Roll In The Grass is a quite typical minty green, though a little darker than many mints. I have many blueish greens in my collection, so this isn't a very new shade, but it is pretty and I'm sure I will have use for it. 

So far, I think these are worth buying. They have good pigment, they are pleasant to apply and they cover well with two coats - even one if you don't mind slight streaks. Especially Peachella is absolutely gorgeous and I think it will look nice with the new neons I ordered on Friday.

DSC07108 (Large)

Oh My Gloss! Lip Glosses

Okay, so, I'm not too much of a lip gloss user due to the fact I always manage to get my hair in it. But. I think it can look nice, and it can be more moisturizing that lipsticks (especially the matte ones, which I prefer). So I'm all about trying new ones, who knows if I will find one that is a match made in heaven for me. 

The shades I tried out are called Go Gloss Or Go Home (the more orange, glittery one) and Glossaholic (cute baby pink). Both are mildly scented, subtle glosses that are easy to wear. They stay on quite well even on a person that is a walking mess like myself.  These babies promise to hold up to 6 hours, but that doesn't happen on my face (it's called user error, I'm always eating or at least drinking water so nothing stays on my lips without correcting throughout the day). If you're a glossaholic, or even a gloss lover, I think you should try these out.

DSC07111 (Large)

Wonder'full Wake Me Up Mascara in Black

Last, but definitely not least is this fancy green package, mascara. This mascara has vitamins and cucumber in it, so it's supposed to treat your lashes while wearing it. I've been using this daily for a while now, and while I can't say I would've gotten mega lashes out of this, I think my lashes feel a bit stronger and they don't fall off as easily. So, I think it might really moisturize/treat the lashes somehow. 

The mascara is easy to apply, it doesn't get too clumpy or anything, and it makes my lashes look quite long and nice. It doesn't fall off throughout the day, but it's easy to take off in the evening. Also, I really just want to give five extra points for the fun packaging. The metallic green and edgy design caught my eye totally.

The products seen in this post have been sent for me to try. However, I didn't have to write a single thing about them, so all the opinions voiced here are completely my own. I hope this review is any helpful for you guys.

Have you tried any of these products? And, what are your current makeup favorites? Let me know in the comments!

Now, this girl needs t hit the bed, so I can be up and awake nice an early for my work shift. I will be back very soon with a new post, so stay tuned my loves!

Have a fabulous day ♥

Skincare Loves Lately

Hello my darlings!

How are you today? ♥

I've been enjoying my busy week, and it's going to be my first payday soon. Which naturally means getting new nail art stuff, as I have a list of things I've been craving to get for a while now. I'm hoping that next week won't be this busy and all, so I could actually write daily instead of scheduling posts like I've done lately. It's all about getting my life schedule together and I'm sure next week it'll all be alright.

Today, I wanted to talk to you about some skincare products I've been loving lately.

DSC06798 (Large)
I've never mentioned this much, but my skin tends to break out quite a bit, especially in the dry weather (winter, we're so not friends), when I'm stressed out or when I clean my makeup poorly. Also, I have a bad habit of touching my face too much once it starts breaking out, which naturally makes it worse.

Couple of weeks ago, the nice people of Reddville sent me some acne products for testing. I was pretty thrilled, as the stress of the spring has been quite a lot for my skin (especially the face).

DSC07097 (Large)

The products I've been testing lately are Basiderm Oil Control Foam Wash and Basiderm Oil Control Moisturizer. Basiderm products are only available in pharmacies, and even though these two don't necessarily cure acne, they promise to help keep the skin clean moisturized throughout the day. Basiderm also has medical creams for acne, but so far I haven't needed to try those out. 

So what's my verdict about the products?

I was pretty scared that the products would make my face dry out like many face washes and matte finish moisturizers do, but once I found the right time to use them (face wash after removing my makeup, and applying the moisturizer when I go to sleep), I haven't had a problem. I tried out putting the moisturizer under a matte finish foundation, but that didn't work out too well for my skin type. 

I have a sensitive skin, so it's important to use right products for it. These don't seem too harsh on my skin, and I think I can say that these have made a little improvement on my skin so far. It feels cleaner and looks a little brighter. I can't say that any miracles have happened, but it certainly hasn't made anything worse. Obviously need to keep using these for a couple of months before my final word on them, but so far I'm liking them a lot. They don't have a strong scents to them, which is nice when you talk about products you put on your face. 

Of course as with all skincare, I believe a good diet, enough exercise and lot of water are essentials no matter what products you decide to use. But these, I think, are worth trying if you have an oily skin. It probably couldn't hurt, right?

What are your trusted products for skincare? Let me know in the comments!

Now, I will stop my blabbering for today, and will be back tomorrow with another post. Stay tuned for that my darlings!

Have a lovely day ♥ 

What's In My Bag (and how to get it organized!) ♥

Hello my lovelies!

How are you all today? ♥

I'm happy to be writing again, all the schoolwork and projects and such have kept me pretty busy for a couple of days there. But after a good night's sleep and some relaxing, I finally have time for the things I love. As I'm writing this, I'm also creating my fourth Valentine's Day manicure. So if you're in need of inspiration for V-Day nails, check out tomorrow's post for some ideas!

Today, however, I'm co-operating with Insjö, who nailed the timing when contacting me, as I was about to post an updated "What's In My Bag" post. At the end of the post, I will talk more about Insjö and what they do, but first let's see what I actually have in my bag.

DSC04720 (Large)

So, as you can see, I have a whole lot of stuff in my bag on daily basis. That's probably not bad, but I should make it less cluttered. Life goals, you know.

DSC04722 (Large)

My most used bag at the moment is this cute black one from Mango. It holds amazingly lot of things, but I feel like I shouldn't stuff it so much. I'm seriously afraid I will break it.

DSC04725 (Large)

This is probably not a surprise to you, but I usually carry quite a lot of makeup around. Even when I don't wear any. It's because when I do, I tend to throw the ones I may need to fix during the day along - and then I just forget them in my bag. So after every few days, I need to clean these things out and put them in my makeup bag. I should probably have a carry-on makeup bag with me, but I haven't got around into making one.

DSC04727 (Large)

The necessities - my wallet, bus card, reflector (it's pretty darn dark in Finland in the winter), keys, gum, headphones (I need my music everywhere) and hand wipes, which I absolutely need in my bag. Usually there's also a pack of tissues, but this time I was out of those.

DSC04729 (Large)

And of course, as a blogger and a student, I also have a calendar and writing equipment with me at most of the times. You never know when you need to write something down, so I think it's better to be prepared.

Now, like you saw above, I carry quite a lot of stuff with me at all times. That means the insides of my bag aren't always as tidy as I would like. That's why I was pretty excited that Insjö contacted me and sent me their bagINbag to try it out.

DSC04932 (Large)

I got this beautiful hot coral bag (in design called Inari) and a hot pink keyring, which are so cute and totally my color.

DSC04935 (Large)

What I really like about the design of this bag is that it has so many different pockets. Both outside...

DSC04937 (Large)

...and inside as well! As a student, I can totally appreciate how this little bag could hold all the little stuff one needs everyday (student card, bus card, coins, keys, makeup etc.), and how easy it is to throw from one bag into another when you switch styles. I'm feeling this bag is great to have when you have an active lifestyle and need to change bags on the go and such. I think I'm gonna be a good friend of mine during the busy spring.

DSC04939 (Large)

The pink keyring is also very adorable. This one is for connecting your keys to you bagINbag. which is a good thing if you're one of those who just toss them into your bag (like yours truly). Very handy addition, and the color is just perfect.

All in all I feel that these items seem very durable and useful. I love the fact they are designed in Finland, and I love the colors a lot. I will be testing these out properly next week, when I have all sorts of things to attend to. And only then I can give my final verdict on these, but so far I'm feeling these are gonna be my friends. So thank you so much for collaborating with me, Insjö, this was such a perfect timing from your part!

Also, if you got interested in Insjö's products, they kindly offered me a discount code to share with you darlings. At the checkout, type in code JOVI1 to get a free shipping for you order. The code is valid for a month from today, so if you want to use it that's when you need to do it.

Now that I told you what's in my bag, I'd like to know what's in yours. If you have done a post like this recently, please link it below in the comments so I can check it out!

Now, I'm gonna edit the photos for tomorrow's post and chill a while before getting to bed. I hope you're all having an amazing weekend, my loves!

Have a great day ♥

Blue Chiffon Dress ♥

Heya people!

How are you all today? ♥

We just got to my parents' earlier this evening, and I finally got the time to open my laptop and actually type something. Past couple of days we were in Pori, celebrating my fiance's graduation and all that fun stuff - which actually was the perfect way to start my summer vacation. Now I have 4 weeks when I don't have to go to work or anything like that, and that feels kind of amazing.

Now, as it is already almost midnight, I'll cut the blabbering short and get on to the point instead. Today, I really just wanted to show you this little outfit from few weeks ago:

 photo DSC09219Large.jpg

Didn't really want to wear leggings with this dress, but... It was cold that day.

The dress is a freebie from collaboration with SammyDress, and I have been meant to review it for ages but never really had the chance before now. I really must say I found the dress worth its affordable price, even if the decorated collar thing needed a bit of adjusting so that it sat nicely.

I feel the dress was easy to style, because it is pretty versatile and all. I'm sure it would be just as nice with a more girly styling than this, but that day I wanted to go with my rock vibe. I really don't know what to say about the dress, it's pretty basic with a nice little chic vibe - what with the material and the collar. For my shape, the big belt felt necessary, but I will try to show this also without one later.

 photo DSC09223Large.jpg photo DSC09328Large.jpg

See more about these nails here!

Dress: SammyDress Leggings: SpiritStore Boots: SpiritStore Jacket: H&M Belt: Pieces Bracelets: Europehouse, Seppälä, Gina Tricot Rings: Gina Tricot, H&M, JC Bag: some shoe store

So this is how I styled a chiffon dress, I know it's probably not everyone's cup of tea but I personally loved it. I will try to get a more girly look in this dress later this summer, so watch this space.

Let me know your thoughts about this outfit in the comments below!

Now, I need to go get some sleep as I promised to drive my mom to the shops in the morning and I'm absolutely exhausted from all the travel. Stay in touch with me via Instagram (@silvertigo), Twitter (@silvertigo) and Facebook (link in the sidebar) during our travels and such - even though I try to post regularly even when we're on the move, I can't make promises. But I do update my social media accounts as much as possible, so for pictures and stuff, go there and follow me, even.

Have a wonderful day ♥

Quick Review: Tosi Kuiva / Absolut Torr ♥

Hello everybody!

How are you all? ♥

I just got off from work and finished my evening snack, so there's just enough time for me to write this post before going to get some sleep so that I can manage all the preps tomorrow for the midsummer trip.

Today, I want to talk to you about this pretty cool product I got to test out via Reddville. Reddville is a company that sends women free tampons monthly, all you need to do is to register and fill out a profile and you're good to go. As a blogger, I also applied to Reddville SheSocial, which is a community that gives bloggers, vloggers and such a great chance to try out products and share them with your readers.

This month, they sent me these strong antiperspirants, called Tosi Kuiva/Absolut Torr. I had never ever heard about them, but they intrigued me right from the start.

 photo DSC09684Large.jpg

Tosi Kuiva promises to decrease sweating and odors close to nothing for 7 days, and as a person with anxiety, stress, and such, I tend to suffer from some sweating from time to time. TMI, I know, but we're all human here. So naturally, when I got my package (on my birthday, haha), I knew this is something I wanna try. So finally, last night, I put on some of the dab-on.

 photo DSC09686Large.jpg photo DSC09687Large.jpg

The dab-on has this kind of a cloth-like head that you need to attach yourself before the first use. With this, you literally need to dab on the product, not roll it on like you would do with your regular deodorant. You put this on to clean, dry skin, that hasn't been shaved within 24 hours. Then, sleep overnight with it on, and wash the skin in the morning and put the regular deodorant on if you wish (if you're using the product on yor armpits, that is).

So I did as mentioned, and I've been now using the product for a day. So far, I haven't seen signs of sweating and stuff - and I work in a place that reaches pretty high temperature, and the work itself is quite physical. That means, after a day of using, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm pretty tempted to try this out for my feet though, to see if I could maybe feel more fresh with them after a full day of work. Also, I need to see whether this product can handle few days on my skin, so I try to remember to give you an update.

Also, I maybe wouldn't recommend this for the most sensitive type of skin, just because it contains such strong ingredients. But for me, the product didn't sting even if I kinda went as a rebel and used it on freshly shaved skin. Bad me.

 photo DSC09691Large.jpg

Tosi Kuiva also comes in wipes, which seem like a great product for travel - or your feet, because I wouldn't use the same one for my feet and my armpits, yuck. So later on, I will give a final verdict for these.

But, like I said, so far the product seems pretty impressive. If this continues to work as well, I would definitely consider this for a future purchase, especially in summer or for special occasions involving fancy dress up and such.

Have you tried out this product or an equivalent for it? Did you like it? Did it work? Share your experiences below in the comments!

Now, I need to go hit the bed so that I won't be a complete zombie in the morning ;)

Have a fabulous day ♥

Tmart Goodies Review ♥

Hey you all!

How are you today? Having a fun Easter? ♥

Today we're visiting friends and seeing their 14 weeks old puppy for the first time, which is super exciting as we would love to have a dog of our own soon. But for now, we must settle for seeing friends' dogs. I will probably have some pictures up later on from that meeting.

Anyway, today's point is actually to talk a bit about some goodies that I received from Tmart.com as a part of cooperation. In this post, I will show two designs I've already done with them, and in the end I will talk a bit about the goodies themselves.

So, let's get started with the designs, shall we?

First up is this little lilac number I created when my parents were visiting us. I really wasn't sure what I was doing, I just wanted to try out the fimos for the first time ever. So if these seem a bit like a mess, that's why.

I chose to use white butterflies with a little lilac in them, and also some blue/lilac flowers to match the mani. I still need to learn a thing or two about placing the fimos neatly, but thanks to this cooperation, I finally have a chance for it.

The polishes I used here were China Glaze Sweet Hook and China Glaze Fairy Dust. The rhinestone stickers are so old I can't even figure out where I got them.

And then to the other one:

With this one I went very summery, as I really, really just wanted to make watermelon nails. This is also something I've never really tried before, and I actually tried to create something without seeing any inspiration pics. I kinda really liked these, though I'm really more for a bit more simple nails at the moment. But I guess during summer I might actually do more these fruit designs.

I tried to sort of create a peel pattern on my thumbs with green polishes and a toothpick. I kind of think that went pretty well, despite the fact it's not that realistic looking.

The polishes I used were China Glaze The Grass Is Lime Greener, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, China Glaze Surfin' For Boys, Essie Licorice, China Glaze I'm With Lifeguard and L'Oreal Color Riche Green Couture.

And lastly, I want to give you a bit closer look of the fimos.

I sincerely want to thank Tmart.com for sending me these, I've been wanting to try out fimos for a long time, but haven't dared to buy them. Tmart.com also sells lots of cool tech stuff and such, so you might want to check them out.

Enough advertising? Alrighty then. Let's just continue with the fimos.

So I got 8 wheels, each of the containing 12 different designs, and all of them more or less categorized a bit. The designs are super cute, at least to my eye, and you all know how much I love cute stuff, right? I got these cute hearts, pretty little butterflies...

...more beautiful flowers and deliciously cute fruit.

These fimos were nice and pretty thin, I've heard some companies sending out too thick ones, and obviously they don't stick well enough then, but these seemed pretty reasonable to handle. There weren't many broken ones and the wheels weren't too messed up, even though some pieces had jumped in the neighbor slots. And of course the variety in this pack is pretty awesome, most of these are something I will probably be using sooner or later. I will have to practice using them, so that I will get them to lay nice and smooth on the nails, at least somewhat so, but I would still say these are pretty easy to use. And they are a fun little addition to your regular mani.

Also, I wanna give a big shoutout to how fast I got the items, it only took few days, even if they were sent from US to Finland, which usually takes some time.

Would I recommend getting these fimos? Sure, if you're a nail enthusiast like me (you can browse their nail art stuff here: Tmart Nail Art Decorations. Would I recommend Tmart.com? Probably yes, at least for me, things went smoothly. And the prices on things are totally reasonable. I might go on and order some tech stuff there later on, and I will let you know how that works out for me.
