First it was the trend with one different colored nail (ring finger or/and thumb), which I didn’t care much for. It just seemed too obvious to me, very few combinations that I actually liked. Then there was the ombre effect on each nail, with the tip color fading smoothly into the base of the nail in the opposite intensity or complementary color. That I liked, but haven’t had the experience or frankly enough excitement to do it on my own nails
Then I stumbled upon this fun, super easy take on the ombre, which is actually painting each nail in a different color of the same family, from dark to light. I currently have some problems with my nails, they brake and exfoliate severely, so I had to cut them really short. I desperately wanted something that would cheer them (me) up, so I remembered about this method. Awesome! I didn’t have a super smooth fading of colors, but I worked with what I found in my polish collection. So here’s my take on it:
I love that they look like candies!
The polishes are (from thumb to pinkie): OPI Lincoln Park After Dark, Catrice 200 From Dusk To Dawn, OPI Parlez-Vous OPI?, Astor 102 Dawn Lilac, Flormar 29.
Btw: What natural oil is beneficial (I mean magical) for nails? Have you tried any good remedies?

So yesterday I presented myself with a pink challenge. The idea was to use lots of this color, also to incorporate some flowers and to make a semi-fantasy/wearable look that would transmit a romantic and ethereal mood. It was Valentine’s Day, after all! And I know I won’t be in the mood for so much pink sweetness too often otherwise.
Luckily, I found a fake pink orchid from Ikea I bought a long time ago and pinned it to the side of my head. From there I got the rest of the color inspiration and the softness of the shapes created. I messed up two major elements, because I wasn’t sure of the end result: first are the eyebrows that I totally ignored, thinking of making them as unnoticeable as possible. The thing is that elongating the eyeshadow shape so much, plus the flicked out lashes, requires a matching longer brow. Secondly – the lips, wish they were much pinker! But I’m happy with the result, nonetheless, hope you enjoy:

Hi everyone! I don’t really have an excuse for this late, second blog post, but I’ve really been busy and I’m even now writing this in a rush, because I have to pack! I’m going to London for this weekend’s International Make-up Artist Trade Show. I’ve been contemplating videos, reviews and hauls from this awesome show for a couple of years now and finally I’m able to attend it myself. It really is a dream come true and I feel like I’m going to touch something that seemed so unreachable and unbelievable
There aren’t a lot of Make-Up events generally, to be honest, but this is huge and I just can’t wait! I have made a list of what to do (thanks Koren) and what to get from there (really sticking to what I actually need). I would write more, but I have to go in an hour for my train from Antwerp to Brussels, and from there take the Eurostar to London! I will better write a haul, review, pictures afterwards, I surely will!
Apart from organizing a lot of contests on my Romanian blog lately (those are immense work!), I’ve been doing tutorials and make-up jobs also, here’s a preview from last weekend, which I love!
By the way, I have updated all my portfolio pictures on this web page, check it out! If you want to help me rank the looks based on the more appealing ones, you can do that my Liking/commenting them in the according albums on my Facebook page. Thanks!
PS: If you will be at IMATS too and would like to meet, I’d say 10 o’clock in the morning on Saturday at the entrance, please come over and let’s meet!

Welcome everyone! This is my brand new project! It’s been on my mind since forever, but I never managed to put everything together, including design, portfolio, social profiles and my thoughts of course. Since most of you, at this time, probably know me from www.fetelespun.ro, I’m not going to describe myself too much and just really thank you for supporting me on this new adventure. Let all your international friends know about this blog and share the love! If you’re new or just want to find more about me, don’t hesitate to check the About me page.
I will be focusing on makeup looks and reviews on this blog, planning short, to-the-point posts. I want it to be a reflection of my work and what I do, what I am inspired by, what I like. This is all in my head now, but I do not promise I’ll stick to the plan
Time will probably tell the format of this new blog.
There’s still work to be done on this page, especially the Portfolio (where I haven’t uploaded all my work yet), and some social profiles where I want to interact and get inspired by the community. But I’d really appreciate your thoughts, suggestions and support! Please follow me on GFC, Facebook, twitter and what not (other social profiles on the Contact page).
By the way, I live in Belgium, so I’d love to interact with Belgian beauty bloggers, so if you are one or know any, let me know! I don’t speak Dutch and just a little French, but I shall at least use Google Translate
It sure is strange to write your very first blog post, but bear with me and stay close for my next stories!
Thank you all,
xoxo Lili
