Gel Polish Swatches of 2013

2013 was the year I started using gel polish! It was a great experience and I intend to keep using and testing new brands and shades! 

Check out what I've been up too with gel polish! 

2013 foi o ano em que me aventurei no verniz de gel! Já há muito tempo que estava curiosa e queria experimentar e este foi o ano em que o fiz! Gostei bastante da experiência e vou continuar a usar e a testar novas marcas e cores!

Após a quebra podem ver o que andei a cuscar e a testar e o que está já em testes para ser publicado no próximo ano!

Eyes wide open! A glance at the international fashion shows reveals: the fashion trends of the Spring/Summer season 2014 are extremely diverse and range from androgynous grunge influences to the feminine looks of the 1960’s.

With false lashes, this look is quick and easy to achieve. They are therefore increasingly becoming a part of daily make-up routines. The new Limited Edition “Lash Flash” by CATRICE, which will be available in stores from mid January to February 2014, is all about fabulous lashes. A large selection ranging from natural-looking single lashes to expressive lash designs offers something to suit every style.
