SOS Cold Winter - Corine de Farme - Balsamo Hidratante [REVIEW]

PRESS SAMPLE

 Hello ladies!
Enjoying this cold cold Sunday?
This last couple weeks have been rough for our skin. Its too cold and personaly, I hate it! My skin hurts and thankfully I found the miracle hand cream for the dry and cold season. Corine de Farme Hand and Nail Balm has been my savior! Lets check it out.

Bom Domingo!
Estas últimas semanas têm sido terríveis para a minha pele, está demasiado frio e a pele acaba por se resentir se não tiver o tratamento adequado. Odeio este frio!
Felizmente, há um par de semanas descobri o melhor amigo das minhas mãos, para este frio terrível.
O Corine e Farme Balsamos Hidratante para mãos e unhas tem feito verdadeiros milagres! Vamos ver?

Homéo-beauté végétale

This is one of my current hand creams and without a doubt my current favorite for extremely cold weather. 
This is a thick and heavy cream, however its not greasy. The formula has a lot of glycerin in its composition making it perfect for hydrating and protecting the skin in extremely cold weather. 
When the weather gets too cold, my hands and cuticles tend to get to dry and I need to apply hand cream constantely. I notices that, with Corine de Farme Hand and Nail Balm, the hydrating effect lasts for several hours and the hands and cuticles look amazing. I really am loving using this cream! I'm keeping it! Super aproved! 

Este creme é um creme grosso e pesado, no entanto não é gorduroso. A sua fórmula com glicerina permita hidratar e proteger a pele deixando-a macia sem ficar gordurosa. Quando o tempo arrefece muito, os meus dedos costumam criar aquelas peles pequenitas super irritantes e inestéticas. 
Tenho usado este creme desde que as temperaturas baixaram e ainda não tive nem uma ferida nem pelezita dessas nos dedos e as cutículas continuam optimas e muito saudáveis.
Vou continuar a usar! Recomendo!

Nail Polish Canada's 2013 HOLIDAY NAIL ART CHALLENGE WEEK 1 - SNOW


Hello everyone!



I was very surprised when Nail Polish Canada invited me to participate in their 2013 HOLIDAY NAIL ART CHALLENGE. It made me very happy! :-) I remember the beautiful manicures for last year's challenge, and and it's been very interesting to see what has been made so far this year. The challenge will run for three weeks (one mani per week). And we can participate one week or all three. The theme this first week is Snow, and we can make anything related to snow. This is my entry for week 1. As you hopefully can see, a snow fairy tried to make pink snow in her little Winter Wonderland on my nails. As usual, I have more photos of this manicure, and further down, you'll find a list of products, and I'll tell how I did this.

Although I can't win the prizes, (because I don't have a mailing address in Canada or the U.S.) you can vote for me. Just click here to vote for your favourite, or if you want to take a look at the other entries. If you want to join in, you can find all details and sign in here.








What I did:

1. I started with white nails. Then I made a pink- white gradient. I mixed pink and white nail polish on my palette (the back side of a stamping plate) with a dotting tool, and used a sponge.
2. For the layer of snow on the tips, I used the one stroke technique. I used pink and white acrylic craft paint for that, and a small angled brush. Usually I use fast drying top coat between layers, but this time I added a shimmer top coat first; one coat of IsaDora #769. (It shows IRL.)
3. Then I used different stamping plates, and a XL stamper for the fairy. For the snowflakes I used a Konad stamper most of the time, and white, pink and red Konad stamping polishes. And I made some dots from the fairy's wand.
4. The photos were taken inside. Because it was dark outside, I brought  a bag of snow to the kitchen, and made a little snow photo studio. I used an Ott- Lite, and held my hand in a shoe box with white sheets of paper inside. To not get everything wet, I placed a plastic bag under the snow. I've recently started taping pizza baking paper on the Ott- Lite, after seeing this photo tutorial on My Awesome Beauty. An Ott- Lite lamp is a good alternative, if you live in Canada or other places where there's little winter daylight.

After taking photos with Ott- lite yesterday, I had a chance to take photos in daylight this morning. The one taken in daylight is the first photo, and there you can see the shimmer better. But the gradient shows better on the other photos.
