Beauty-Light

Look what my dear neighbour gave me:

Beauty-Light is a beauty gadget from the fifties, which his mother had bought back then. Not that I needed it, as he kindly said. What does it do? Well, it lights up and it warms. You first had to clean your skin, then apply a fat night cream and then massage your face with the lamp. Afterwards you had to rest for about ten minutes with a cold damp cloth over your face.

If it worked? I have no idea, but I don't think it is worse believing in than if this one works.

Perhaps the warm massage combined with the following cold cloth might speed up the blood circulation, and that is not bad. Here is the front and the back side of the nice little folder I also got with it, complete with a schema on how to do the massage:

And here is the Danish text inside the folder:

Do you have problems with your look? Buy yourself a Beauty-Light for use at home against loose skin and wrinkles.

Summer Nails

I've collected my summer nails for you in this post, but we start with my Easter nails, which I didn't like that much:

The light yellow is Sally Hansen's Go Bananas, which I have stamped with my new Bundle Monster Holiday Collection stamping plates. I just don't think it looks much like Easter egs, and my tape-chicken is not very good either - ough. Well, the good thing is that it is easy to remove. ;)

I am playing with stereotypes, that is styles many loves but which I never wear myself, e.g. flowers, red and pink. Here I have stamped roses on top of Misa's Fleeting Hibiscus:

It was not bad at all.

Back to my favourite colour, green - here R de L's Precious Metal:

The polish is a gift from a dear colleague, which I have dotted flowers onto, very easy.

I had bought some new tape which I wanted to try. I made this holographic texture manicure:

The holographic polish is my favourite from MakeupStore named Siw and the texture is IsaDora's Ocean Crush. I have added a matching rhinestone on each nail.

Summer calls for holo polishes, because they are so beautiful in the sunshine:

An old orange polish from Gosh Funky Orange:

I'm not especially fond of orange, but this one looks so lovely in the sunshine. I've made a simple dotted pattern with red on top of it.

Here I've done my nails at my summer cottage and painted them with the only polish I have there, a really boring light pink shimmer polish. I spiced it up with turquoise checks when I came home:

The turquoise is Sally Hansen's Blue Me Away.

Another stereotype, pink nails, which I never wear anymore:

But I did love these. The polish is L'Oreals Shocking Pink, which I would never have called it. I have dotted simple flowers at the tips. I think I will make these again one day.

And the last stereotype for now - butterfly nails:

I love the mint green colour, which is from Oriflame named Mint Pear, but the butterflies do not impress me. The one at my ring finger is good, but the others are just annoying.
