For today's post, I thought I'd show you the evolution of my nails throughout the week. Quite a few changes to consign in my nail diary as you will see in a second.<br />
<br />
I usually wear my nails short but have let them grow out quite a bit this month. Pretty unusual for me but I felt like it and actually really like them long.<br />
<br />
Here's what they looked like from Monday to Friday:<br />

I'm wearing A Butterfly Moment & Pink Yet Lavender, both from the Mariah Carey by OPI collection. I really liked this manicure and actually prefer wearing neutral and nude nearing polishes when my nails are this long.<br />
<br />
And on Friday night, I have no idea what happened in my tired overworked little brain but I went clipper and file crazy and hacked off all the length, sacrificing my long nails and giving birth to nubbies. This new length was calling for something dark so I dug out Lincoln Park After Dark from it's hiding place and topped my index and middle fingers with Pink Yet Lavender. I'm so in love with this glitter, using it and abusing so much recently.<br />

I almost regret having shortened them although I do like them at this length. It's just that I got used to them being long. Oh well, I might let them grow back.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Any thoughts? Do you prefer them long or short? Do you keep your nails at the same length most of the time or do you oscillate between lengths, chopping them off in crazy spells like I did on Friday?</div>

Oh yes please<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
A few months ago when I first saw the Mariah Carey by OPI collection I was really intrigued by the 4 unusual, gritty yet glittery and sparkly polishes baptised Liquid Sand by OPI.<br />
After a couple of unpublished late summer swatches of them I was conquered! I'm not a fan of Mariah's music but I was blown away by the polishes created for and with her.<br />
<br />
What a crazy idea to create textured polishes when we are all trying to even out the surface of our lacquers, using and abusing thick jelly like topcoats. But this novelty really works and is mesmerizing.<br />
I actually can't stop looking and and touching my nails when I have one of these on.<br />
<br />

I don't really know what to say.<br />
I've been away for so long. Over 4 months. Just about the time I needed to get back on track after quite a bit of change in my life. I feel much better now, have dealt with the separation and have adapted to my new job.<br />
<br />
Some of you might know this already, but in September I started working for the official and exclusive distributor of OPI, Burt's Bees, Bodyography and Comfort Zone in Switzerland. I was hired as their social media manager and expert chemist. The job is fascinating and I find myself doing so many different things. A lot of research, picture taking, nail painting, problem solving, negotiating, brain storming etc. and so many laughs and good times I share with my colleagues, especially those who have become good friends.<br />
Could a cosmetic junkie dream for anything more?<br />
<br />
For a while I was a bit afraid I would have to close my blog's doors as I now work in the cosmetic industry and after much discussion and thinking, I'm going to continue to share stuff with you guys because I just love doing it. There probably will be quite a bit of OPI polish on here, but that's because I wear their products at work and really like them. But you will obvisouly be seeing many more goodies, such as my first indies, more make-up posts and maybe a few surprises once in a while. Are you ready to welcome me back and share with me?<br />
<br />
For my last words in this comeback post, I'd like to thank all you sweeties who helped me and made me smile when the path was at it's roughest. Many of you sent me messages, emails, instagram messages and more. Thanks girls, your support and kindness mean the world to me :)<br />
<br />
Love Emilie<br />

My dearest readers,<br />
<br />
Just a quick message to tell you all that I haven't forgotten you, that I miss you and will be back very soon.<br />
I still need a bit of time to deal with the separation and my new life.<br />
<br />
I hope you all understand.<br />
<br />
Lots of love,<br />

<br />
I've always been attracted to gems and stones of all sorts. The ones that catch my eye the most aren't the very fancy sparkly ones you only see in magazines and receive in tiny red boxes. I prefer the ones that I find myself in river beds, along a mountain path or in antique shops, set on a delicate brooch or ring. There is something very special to those simpler stones. Their tiny veins, splashes of color, texture and shape just make them so interesting and mysterious, as if their heterogenous constitution and appearance was trying to tell us their story.<br />
<br />
When I look at this nail polish, OPI's Thanks A Windmillion, I think of a long lost imperial jade stone that was once a part of a Ming dynasty sword, broken to pieces and used to make an intricate piece of jewellery, or an antique pin worn by a dainty lady of the XIXth century.<br />

Thanks A Windmillion, this dusty milky jade polish, came out in the Spring 2012 Holland collection. It's formula was perfect and it only took 2 thin coats to get it completely opaque and smooth.<br />
<br />
What are your thoughts about this polish? Do you have any nail polishes that make you dream?<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading.<br />

Considering how old this polish is, I was impressed by it's flawless formula and application. As you can see in some of the pictures, there are a couple of bald spots here and there, but nothing unusual. Oh how I wish this polish was part of the permanent line, I'd wear it more often but since I only have 1 bottle, I'm going to have to keep it for special occasions.<br />
<br />
What do you think of this polish? Do you have it or have you ever tried it?<br />
<br />
See you next week! (I'm going to the mountains until Friday. Yay vacay!)<br />

<br />
To achieve this look, I did a glitter sandwich using OPI's Gargantuan green grape (2 coats for the base, then 1 to cover the glitter) and LA Girls' Glitter Addict glitter polish in Uninhibited (1 coat), a black glitter polish in a clear base.<br />
<br />
To you, does this look more like eggs or ice cream?<br />

<br />
I like my first glitter sandwich so much that I decided to try another one! Instead of using a sheer white polish as my base and topcoat, I chose a grey one: OPI's My pointe exactly (2 coats as a base + 1 coat over the glitter). For the filling I used Essence's Glorious aquarius (1 coat).<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">(Sorry for the bad phone picture)</div><br />
My boyfriend scales walls (Spiderman collection) is an opaque in 2 coats white leaning grey creme lacquer. Very smooth and opaque and not quite as stark as pure white. I love it.<br />
<br />
Pirouette my whistle (NYC Ballet collection) consists in variously shaped and sized matte silver glitters in a clear base. It looks great over pretty much everything.<br />
<br />
Voilà! Back to the park I go.<br />

(or in my case I should "happy rainday" as it is pi...ng rain...)<br />
<br />
I just got back from NY and had a wonderful time there. So many things to do and see and it felt great being back in the city.<br />
<br />
I stuffed myself with donuts, pastrami sandwiches, gotham salads, NY cheesecake and so many other goodies I appreciate so much more when I'm there because the taste is just not the same as it is here. I can't even find donuts in Geneva...imagine my disarray! Oh I miss America.<br />
<br />
And the drugstores! Oh my the drugstores. I love them! As a kid I could spend hours in them just looking at all the beauty and makeup products. I must have spent at least 4hrs of my whole trip in drugstores if I add up all my visits during my 10 day vacation!<br />
<br />
Apart from eating and shopping we did of course go to the usual museums (Metropolitain, MoMa, Whitney, Brooklyn, Asia Society). If you are in NY now, check out the Keith Haring exhibit at the Brooklyn museum as well as the exhibit at the Asia Society, they were great.<br />
<br />
Anyways, enough rambling about the trip, let's talk about nail polish.<br />
<br />
For my return home manicure, I decided to go with a green ombre. It's not quite an ombre but it's as close as I could get having used only my OPI greens (weird jetlag challenge).<br />
<br />
Anybody feel like playing? Guess what polishes were used...<br />

<br />
Today I have a gorgeous vampy polish to show you: OPI's Zurich Surprise, a dark almost black plummy burgundy.<br />
<br />
This classic beauty was made exclusively for Switzerland and I must admit, I feel very special wearing it!<br />
<br />
I was really surprised by the formula, because normally with this type of color, the consistency is thick, goopy and uneasy to work with. On the contrary, Zurich surprise was a dream, spread like butter and dried in a pinch. Must be the Swiss quality :)<br />
<br />
Pictured here are 2 coats and a layer of topcoat.<br />

Had to be green!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello my dear readers,<br />
<br />
Very exciting post for me today: I got my first Butter London polish!<br />
I've been wanting to try this brand for quite some time now having heard/read so many good things about it. Well the day has come!<br />
<br />
A while back, as I was googling swatches of these polishes, I fell in love with a color: Bossy boots. As I was observing how gorgeous it was, I couldn't stop smiling to myself because the name fits me like a glove! I feel ashamed to say this, but I've often been told that I can be a bit tough and authorititarian, although always well-intentioned and fair. My friends tease me about it and we always get a good laugh about the tiny little friendly tyrant that lives somewhere inside me! I've tried becoming more mellow, in vain. I guess that's just the way I am and believe that there are just somethings you can't really change about yourself.<br />
<br />

Bossy boots is a beautiful yellow based seafoam green. A perfect seafoam green in my opinion (Mr Pantone agrees!).<br />
I don't know if all Butter London polishes are like this, but the formula was great:<br />
Opaque in 2 self leveling coats; no brush strokes, bubbles or bald patches. A dream!<br />
<br />
I can't wait to try more of these, and won't have to wait too long because I went a little crazy and bought 6 of them!! I know I know, shame on me!<br />
<br />
What are your preferred Butter London polishes? Any recommendations?<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading :)<br />
<br />
Oh! and I squared out my nails a bit and am not sure about the shape... What do you think suits me better??<br />

That's what I was feeling like Sunday so I decided to opt for a near neon manicure using two Sally Hansen polishes (complete salon manicure line): A Peach of Cake & Sun Day.<div>Both polishes are new to my collection and I wanted to try them both without having to deal with the terrible dilemna: which one should I wear? (the same dilemna that I impose to my boyfriend and that drives him nuts! I just love driving him nuts!) so this is what I ended up doing, and I must say, I'm happy with the end result.</div><div><br />

I know it's full of good stuff such as antioxidants etc. but I just don't like it. My sister had ordered a green tea cake for her graduation dinner in Boston and just thinking of it makes me turn green. I must say that was the nastiest thing I've ever tasted, and believe me, my palate has encountered some weird food. The most unusual dish I've eaten must have been curried bat in the Seychelles. It was actually really good and tasted like rabbit or chicken. Yes yes, we Europeans, especially the French speaking ones, eat awkward stuff sometimes.<br />
<br />
Anyways, enough rambling, let's get down to business.<br />
<br />
Today's polish is Sally Hansen's complete salon manicure in Green tea. I must say, this isn't the color of green tea but it sure is gorgeous. This is the very first polish from this line that I try as it has only been available here for a very short time (actually I have to cross the border and go to Sephora in France but that's only a 15 minute drive) and I'm impressed by the quality and the range of colors.<br />
<br />
I purchased a few others and will be trying them shortly. There were only about 20 colors in my tiny Sephora but if I really like these polishes, well then I'll stock up on them when I go to NY at the end of June.<br />
<br />
Colorwise, I'd say Green tea is an opaque minty green, but it is a bit dustier and softer than what I've seen on the market these past years.<br />
<br />
The formula was great: 2 easy coats, self leveling, very glossy.<br />
<br />

I started off with pastels but am now also attracted to medium toned purples.<br />
<br />
As much as I loved OPI's Pirates of the Caribbean collection, I remember that the only polish I refused to wear was Planks a lot, the dusty purple one. I used it on some friends and they really loved it but I kept it as far away as possible from my hands as I could. You must be thinking "why on earth did you buy it?", question to which I'd answer "it came in a quatro pack and I really wanted the other three polishes".<br />
<br />
This poor lacquer has been sitting in the back of one or my Helmer's drawers for too long and I owe it an apology. It is gorgeous and I felt like I had unearthed a long lost treasure when I dug it out the other day.<br />
Never again shall I abandon you my dear.<br />
<br />
The formula was great: opaque in 2 coats, not streaks, bubbles or problems of any kind.<br />
<br />
Have you ever fallen in love with a polish you used to dislike?<br />
<br />

People say you are either an opimist or a pessimist. I don't believe in that and think we are both. It all really depends on our mood and the people we are friends with.<br />
<br />
Do optimism and pessimism have their corresponding colors? I don't think so and don't know how Essie came up with such a silly name. Eternal optimist...they could have done much better for such a pretty polish.<br />
This typically is a color I would have steered away from a while back, and I don't know what is getting in to me these days but I'm becoming attracted to colors I used to flee. Must be the rain, my mood or an overdose of Coptic texts. <br />
<br />
Enough rambling. Aside from the silly name, this polish couldn't get any better. It's opaque in 2 coats, fast-drying, self-leveling and super shiny without a topcoat. What more could you ask for?<br />
<br />
Do you ever go through phases where you tend to gravitate towards polishes that you used to think were just blah and boring?<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading<br />

<br />
I'm in the mood for glitter. I usually am not a glitter fan and I don't lnow how to explain this sudden urge to bear disco balls on my fingertips...<br />
<br />
For this manicure I used 1 coat of Dior's Waterlily as a base (light warm green) and added 1 coat of Purge from LA Girls glitter addict over top (green glitter in a clear base). Purge. What a horrible name for such a nice lacquer...<br />
<br />

My pictures don't do this mani justice and you just have to imagine how sparkly this was.<br />
<br />
I absolutely loved this manicure, got many many compliments on it , and have to admit it made me feel like Poison Ivy the whole time I wore it!<br />
<br />
What do you think of this combo? Would you wear it or is too far off from your comfort zone?<br />
<br />

<br />
How have you all been doing?<br />
<br />
Today I have a stunning dusty turquoise polish to show you: Dior's Saint Tropez.<br />
<br />
This polish just came out and I jumped on it as soon as I saw it. It's dusty quality is just so special and very different from those über bright turquoise lacquers I'm used to seeing. I'm in love with a polish....yet again!<br />
<br />
The formula was great: opaque in two coats, fast drying, self leveling and very shiny. I didn't even use a topcoat.<br />

Hi there,<br />
<br />
The weather has been pretty weird here for the past few days. The sun will shine for a few hours then rain will be pouring down like crazy, then the sun comes back. Weird and wardrobe confusing. I thought this mani represented it pretty well and was really happy when I came up with the idea to do it and post it on my blog, but then it dawned on me that it could just as well be in an Ikea catalogue...<br />
What do you think?<br />
<br />
I used Chanel's Blue Boy (Jeans de Chanel collection) and Jaune Trendy by Bourjois ( a company owned by Chanel). No topcoat.<br />
<br />
Blue Boy's color is great but I don't really like the jelly finish (too sheer) that required 3 coats. There was some pretty massive tipwear as well...unusual for Chanel, even when you don't use a topcoat.<br />
<br />
This is the first Bourjois polish I try and am pretty impressed. Self-leveling, shiny, quick-drying and no tip wear.<br />
<br />

<br />
Do you ever close your eyes and imagine you are on a beach, drenched in monoï oil, holding a mojito, a hibiscus flower in your hair, the waves tickling your toes? That's the mood I'm in right now.<br />
Unfortunately there is no beach around here and this mani is the closest I'll get to the tropics in a while.<br />
<br />
What am I wearing? Well a bathing suit of course! Just kidding! Actually Essie is on the beach with me, reading a book named "Nice is Nice, but Turquoise & Caicos is even better".<br />
<br />
3 coats of each, no topcoat.<br />
