Meu Primeiro Essie

My First Essie


UPDATE: Por favor, vejam as novas fotos abaixo, no fim do post.
UPDATE: Please take a look at the new photos below, at the end of the post.


Essie Mochacino
Resolvi testar meu primeiro esmalte da marca Essie. Comprei a cor Mochacino, um marronzinho acinzentado com muito glitter fininho. Uma cor de burro quando foge, sabe? rs
A primeira impressao eh de que o pincel eh bem menor que o da OPI ou Colorama, por exemplo.
Mas, apesar disso, nao tem muita coisa diferente. Eh um esmalte como qualquer outro. :D (esqueci de tirar foto do pincel, mais tarde eu coloco uma comparando OPI X Essie).

I decided to test my first Essie nail polish and the colour chosen was Mochacino, a grey-ish brown with lots of very thin glitter. 
My first impression was the size of the brush: way smaller than OPI's for example. Beside that, there are not many different things, it's just another nail polish. :D (I forgot to take photos comparing the OPI and Essie brushes but I'll update later).

**************
Aqui estao as fotos comparando os pinceis da Essie X OPI, onde da pra ver claramente a diferenca no tamanho. 
(A cor do esmalte da OPI na foto eh o Skyfall, que eu ainda tenho que escrever um post sobre ele.)
As outras duas ultimas fotos abaixo sao uma representacao melhor da cor Mocachino, que estao mais parecidas com a cor nas unhas. As primeiras fotos que eu postei estao mais amarronzadas do que elas realmente sao.

Here are some photos comparing Essie's vs. OPI's brushes. You can clearly see the difference in size. (The OPI shown on the pic is Skyfall which I have yet to write about.)
The last two photos below are a better representation of the colour Mochacino. They are more similar to the real deal than the previous ones, which were a bit more brown than in reality.

Suzi e o Salva-Vidas

Suzi & The Lifeguard

Acho que eu passei 3 demaos nessa manicure. A cor eh um rosa discreto com um leve (bem leve mesmo, quase imperceptivel) brilho. 

I think I used 3 coats for this mani. The colour is a discreet pink with very subtle particles of glitter, almost imperceptible.

You Don't Know Jacques!

Essa cor eh a "You Don't Know Jacques!" da OPI. 
Achei uma cor muito linda para o Outono/Inverno, super chique!
Eu nao lembro quantas camadas eu passei, pois fiz essa unha em marco desse ano, um tempao atras! =)
O que voces acharam?

This is OPI "You Don't Know Jacques". It is a very pretty colour for Fall/Winter, super chic! 
I don't remember how many coats I used for this mani because it was way back in March! =)
What do you think?

Oi de Williamstown, VIC - Australia

Hi from Williamstown, VIC - Australia

Williamstown, VIC - Australia - Out/Oct/2011
Lembra do meu anel de coruja? Olha ele ai de novo, mas dessa vez o esmalte eh uma mistura nude que eu fiz. Usei uma demao do Apricot da NYC Color como base, depois apliquei uma camada de um rosinha bem claro, o Manicure Pink tambem da NYC Color, e por ultimo, apliquei o Coney Island Cotton Candy da OPI.
PS: Reparem nas gaivotas dando um role na praia! rs

Remember my owl ring? It's here again! But this time the nail polish I'm wearing is a nude mixture I made. I applied one coat of Apricot by NYC Color as base, one coat of a very light pink called Manicure Pink, also by NYC Color, and lastly I applied one coat of Coney Island Cotton Candy by OPI. 
PS: Check out the seagulls feeding on the beach!

OPI Marrom

Brown OPI

O esmalte de hoje eh um marrom medio, nem tao claro, nem tao escuro e flocado da OPI. As particulas de glitter sao bem visiveis, em tons dourados e vermelhos, com uma cintilancia leve meio azul/verde. Soa estranho, mas nao eh nao! =)
Ele eh bem transparente - passar menos de 3 demaos nao rola, o que pra mim nao eh um problemao, ja que nao curto esmalte grosso.
Infelizmente, nao tinha etiqueta no fundo do vidrinho com o nome do esmalte, portanto nao faco ideia que cor eh essa! =(
Eu chamo de marrom da OPI! rs

Today's polish is an OPI medium brown, not so dark, not so light, with particles of glitter. The glitter is very visible, in gold and red tones, with blue/greenish sparkles. It sounds weird, but it's not! =)
It's very transparent - less than 3 coats doesn't look good - which is not a problem to me, 'cause I don't like very thick polishes. 
Unfortunately, there wasn't a tag on the bottom of the bottle, sooo I have no idea which colour is this one! =(
I call it Brown OPI! =)

O vidrinho do Marrom OPI eh aquele que tem apenas 3.75ml, enquanto que o normal tem 15ml. Normalmente, os "mini" sao amostras pra voce testar antes de comprar o grandao. 

The little bottle of my Brown OPI has only 3.75ml, while the normal ones has 15ml. Usually the "mini" ones are samples for you to try before buying the big bottle.

Especial de Fim de Ano - XIII

Holidays Special -XIII

Outra inspiracao para fazer as suas unhas nesse fim de ano. Essa unha eh perfeita para o reveillon, para combinar com qualquer tom de roupa, inclusive o branco. Eu combinei duas cores, um prata e um incolor com particulas de cintilancia. Nao chega a ser glitter, pois as particulas sao bem minusculas, mas eh beeem brilhante. Um luxo so! rs Eu tirei fotos sob diversas luzes, pois nenhuma fazia jus a cor super brilhante do esmalte. A terceira foto eh a que ficou mais parecida. Espero que gostem!

Another inspiration to make your nails this holidays. This mani is perfect for the new year, to match any outfit colour that you choose, including white. I combined two shades, a silver one and a clear one with shiny particles. I wouldn't call it glitter because the particles are very tiny, but it is very sparkling! I took photos under different lighting, because none of them were capturing the true sparkles of the polish. The third picture is the one that best represents. I hope you like it!

Azul Gaga

Gaga Blue

Ha tempos eu queria testar a cor azul What's with the Catittude, da colecao Shrek da OPI, pois eu sempre via nas unhas das meninas, e achava lindo! Ate o dia que eu finalmente comprei o bendito! Devo dizer que, de cara, eu fiquei um pouco desapontada com a consistencia, que eh muito fina pro meu gosto. Precisei passar 3 demaos para cobrir tudo, e ainda assim ha pedacinhos da unha aparecendo. Maaas, depois de um tempo com esse esmalte, eu comecei a gostar - e muito - dessa cor! A cor eh um azul bebe, que me lembra muito aqueles antigos eletrodomesticos, sabe? Tipo geladeira de avo? rsrs
Bom, mas o que isso tem a ver com o nome do post? Eh que eu precisava de um esmalte-escandalo pra usar no show da Lady Gaga ontem!!! Pois eh, minha gente! Gaga em Van!!! Muito bom!!! Logo mais, post sobre o show!

I've been wanting to test the blue What's with the Catittude, from the Shrek Collection by OPI, because I would see it on other girls' nails and it seemed to be very cute! Then, I finally bought it and must tell you I was kind of disappointed with the consistency, which is too thin for my liking. I had to apply 3 coats of it and still I can see parts of my nail. Buuut, after a while wearing this nail polish, I started liking it - a lot! The colour is a baby/pastel blue, that reminds me those old kitchen appliances, do you remember? Like granny's fridge? lol
Well, what does it have to do with the name of my post? It's because I needed a faboosh nail polish to wear at the Lady Gaga concert yesterday!!! Yep, Gaga in Van!!! Suuuper duper!!! A post is coming

Retro Nude

Oi, oi luzes do dia!!!
Vamos comecar a semana com unhas novas? Como o prometido no post das Fanaticas por Beleza, mostrarei o esmalte Coney Island Cotton Candy da OPI. Sem mais, a cor eh bem bacana, um tom meio pessego rosado/alaranjado, que fica meio parecido com o tom da pele (pelo menos na minha!), lembrando bastante aquelas cores antiguinhas, por isso o nome do post Retro Nude.

Hi, hi sunshine!!!
Let's start the week with a new nail polish? As promised on the post about Fanatics about Beauty, I'll show you the Coney Island Cotton Candy nail polish by OPI. It's a very nice colour, kinda like a light pink-ishy/orange-ishy peach, similar to the skin tone (at least it is similar to mine!), reminding me of those old colours, that's why I named the post today as Retro Nude.

Fanaticas por beleza

Fanatics about beauty

Eu estava lendo minha September Issue da revista Flare (Canada), e achei que, assim como eu, voces se interessariam por essas curiosidades sobre maquiagem. Que nos adoramos cosmeticos e maquiagem, nao eh segredo pra ninguem, ne? Mas, lendo esses numeros gigantescos, a gente ate se espanta um pouquinho! rs
Divirtam-se! =)

A cada 4 segundos, um batom da M.A.C e duas sombras da mesma marca sao vendidos no planeta. E as cores mais queridas das canadenses sao a sombra Shroom (bege) e o batom Viva Glam V original (rosa natural para os labios).



Voces sabiam que, todo ano, a Bourjois vende mais de 6 milhoes de blushes e sombras Little Round Pots em 120 paises do mundo? O primeiro Little Round Pot foi lancado em 1914, um blush chamado Cendre de Roses Brune, que eh vendido ate hoje.


Em um ano, a OPI vende mais de 36 milhoes de vidrinhos de esmalte e tratamento para as unhas! Se fizermos as contas, daria 100.000 vidrinhos por dia! As cores mais populares: I'm not really a waitress, Coney Island Cotton Candy (Opa, eu tenho esse! Em breve, um post com essa cor!) e Lincoln Park After Dark. (respectivamente nas cores abaixo)


O delineador mais vendido em redes de drogarias e supermercados eh o imbativel Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner, que esta na lideranca por 3 anos consecutivos. Na America do Norte, um eyeliner eh vendido a cada 5 segundos. Naturalmente, a cor preta eh a campea de vendas.



I was reading my September issue of Flare magazine, and thought that, just like me, you would be interested on these curiosities about make-up. It is not a secret that we love cosmetics and make-up, but reading these big numbers kinda scare us a little bit! lol
Have fun! =)


Every 4 seconds, one MAC lipstick and two eyeshadows are sold on the planet. The hottest-selling shades in Canada are Shroom (beige for eyes) and the original Viva Glam V (a neutral pink for lips).

Every year, a Bourjois sells more than 6 million Little Round Pots of blushes and eyeshadows in 120 countries. The first Little Round Pot was launched in 1914, a blush shade called Cendre de Roses Brune, which is still available today.


Over the course of 365 days, OPI sells more than 36 million bottles of lacquer and treatment. If we do the math, that's 100,000 bottles a day! The most popular colours are: I'm not really a waitress, Coney Island Cotton Candy (I have this one! Soon, a post with this colour!) e Lincoln Park after dark.

The winning eyeliner at mass-market and drugstores is Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner. It has taken the lead at the cash register for the last three years running. In fact, across North America, one eyeliner is sold every 5 seconds. Naturally, black is the number 1 selling shade.
