http://elyssianbeauty.blogspot.com/2012/03/comparison-sleek-rose-gold-sleek-lace.html
Demystifying nails and beauty, accompanied by great music. Saturday, 31 March 2012. Comparison: Sleek Rose Gold - Sleek Lace (Guipure) Blushers. Ever since Sleek came out there's been a lot of fuss around their products for being good in spite of their low price. I was in Superdrug yesterday and I though I'd give the blushers a try. Here's a few swatch pictures for those of you who might be interested. All of them were take under natural mid-day sunlight with varying degrees of light/shadow. La Roche-Pos...

Elyssian Beauty Blog: November blues
http://elyssianbeauty.blogspot.com/2011/11/november-blues.html
Demystifying nails and beauty, accompanied by great music. Friday, 25 November 2011. I couldn't decide which winter colour to wear when I was looking at my pretty bottles and I was drawn by something that doesn't scream 'winter' i.e.dark and warm. If you think about the beautiful Christmas decorations that are almost everywhere right now, it sort of is. Icy blue fairy lights look so magical! I don't like multicoloured lights, but clear and icy blue are so beautiful! Labels: brand Barry M. La Roche-Posay ...

Demystifying nails and beauty, accompanied by great music. Wednesday, 24 December 2014. Morgan Le Fay takes over Camelot! I really felt like doing something freehand this year for Christmas and I wanted it to be sparkly as well. Morgan Le Fay, a beautiful shimmering polish, over black was my starting point and then I added little colourful details here and there. All polishes used for this manicure are from A-England. Designs: Morgan Le Fay, Perceval, Order of the Garter, Holy Grail (old version). I have...

Demystifying nails and beauty, accompanied by great music. Thursday, 13 September 2012. Greek Stories I: Seventeen - 533. Here is the first one I want to show you by a brand called Seventeen. No relation to the UK brand 17. As soon as I saw this deep glowing orange (at the lowest shelf no less! I knew I had to have it. It's only the second orange polish I own, but it has become a firm favourite. It's so warm and beautiful it almost soothes me when I look at it. Labels: brand Seventeen GR. Grab a mojito a...

Demystifying nails and beauty, accompanied by great music. Sunday, 29 April 2012. How to: Store Nail Polish, Thinner and Seche Vite Restore. Για αυτό το θέμα στα ελληνικά πατήστε εδώ.

Elyssian Beauty Blog: Summer in the midst of winter
http://elyssianbeauty.blogspot.com/2014/12/summer-in-midst-of-winter.html
Demystifying nails and beauty, accompanied by great music. Thursday, 18 December 2014. Summer in the midst of winter. Amidst all the Christmas merrymaking and due to a friend of mine my mind wandered off to Santorini. Artificial light. Can any of the beauty geeks recognise the back of this book? As a base since you can't get more cycladic than Santorini, then I used Korres 82 Ciel. To make it smoother and a bit more vibrant. I should do something Chrismas-y next!

Elyssian Beauty Blog: Byzantine influence: O.P.I - Every Month is Oktoberfest & a-England- Dragon
http://elyssianbeauty.blogspot.com/2015/04/byzantine-influence-opi-every-month-is.html
Demystifying nails and beauty, accompanied by great music. Thursday, 9 April 2015. Byzantine influence: O.P.I - Every Month is Oktoberfest and a-England- Dragon. Paris Psalter (BnF MS Grec 139), folio 435v. The design of this plate reminded me of the cross-shaped stained glass windows that are so common in orthodox churches. The base is the amazing inky blue with reddish shimmer O.P.I - Every Month is Oktoberfest. And the stamping was done with the chameleon of greens a-England - Dragon. Byzantine influe...

Elyssian Beauty Blog: Kim Hyun Joong's Shirt
http://elyssianbeauty.blogspot.com/2011/11/kim-hyun-joongs-shirt.html
Demystifying nails and beauty, accompanied by great music. Sunday, 27 November 2011. Kim Hyun Joong's Shirt. 1 coat of Nailtek base. 2 coats of China Glaze - Aqua baby. 1 coat of INM Out the Door topcoat. Le Chat CM Nail Art Polish - 4 Brown. 1 coat of INM Out the Door topcoat. I didn't really do a great job in this and I managed to ruin the design a bit when I was doing the clean up. This top coat is starting to bug me as well because whatever I do, it drags the design. Oh well! Disce ut semper victurus!

Elyssian Beauty Blog: Nubar Duochromes Swatches Galore (picture heavy)
http://elyssianbeauty.blogspot.com/2012/01/nubar-duochromes-galore-picture-heavy.html
Demystifying nails and beauty, accompanied by great music. Tuesday, 24 January 2012. Nubar Duochromes Swatches Galore (picture heavy). By now it is a well established fact: we all love the Duochrome colours by Nubar. They are beautiful and if anything, describing them as 'duochromes' undermines their beauty as there are more than two colours that they shift to and from. New name for Moonshadow. The only one that has a different kind of shimmer is Gold Leaf. And now, the pictures! Nubar - Gold Leaf (GL).

Elyssian Beauty Blog: An easy manicure and the konmari method
http://elyssianbeauty.blogspot.com/2015/04/an-easy-manicure-and-konmari-method.html
Demystifying nails and beauty, accompanied by great music. Saturday, 4 April 2015. An easy manicure and the konmari method. After my last post, which I really enjoyed, I went through my file of pictures that I had been meaning to blog about and did a nice sort-through. I think it might be the effect of reading the book of the moment, Mari Kondo’s The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I wish I had picked a different blogging platform to be honest cause blogger is always giving me a headache. I used Ciate...
