[sponsored] just cosmetics – first impressions
Happy Sunday everyone,

I was also lucky enough to receive a big bag of their different polish ranges to try out.
They sent me 3 gummies, 2 gelicious and 3 (+1 for the newsletter subscription) colorazzi nail polishes, as well as their base and top-coat.
Let’s get to the fun part, first I would like to talk about the gummies nail polishes.
This highly opaque , semi – matte nail polish with latex finish is available in 8 fresh sorbet colors. Apply the polish in two coats for optimal results and allow to dry thoroughly. Do not use a top coat, otherwise the effect will disappear.
020 sweet apple
a very nice and soft green shade with great coverage and a nice finish. I applied 2 coats.
010 spicy mint
such a pretty light blue polish, which reminds me of a clear blue sky. I also applied 2 coats.
070 delicate cherry
not the usual pink polish if you ask me. I love this shade and the finish is just as pretty as with the other two.
I must honestly admit, I am a fan of the gummies polishes. I love the colors they picked for me and I love the finish. I can imagine using these for a cute spring nail design with polka dots.
Next I would like to introduce to you the gelicious nail polishes.
This innovative formula with plumping-effect gives an ultimate high-gloss finish. The wide brush allows an easy application without leaving streaks. They come in 9 colors, mostly pink and red shades.
010 be a ballerina
such a nice light pink polish, prefect for spring nail designs.
040 be a vamp
this might just be the usual red polish, a classic which I must say I already have a lot of.
I applied 2 coats for both of them and must say that the glossy finish really surprised me. It is very pretty how shiny those are without any top-coat.
Last not least are their colorazzi nail polishes, which come in 29 colors and combines high opacity and shine.
110 be crazy
not really neon, but a bit lighter and not as exciting orange polish. I am not sure what to think of it, but that might be because I am simply not a big fan of orange.
020 be calm
a simple white without any shimmer or glitter. You know I like trying different white polishes and this makes a pretty good first impression.
270 be friendly
a simple blue/turquoise polish, which looks darker on the nail then in the bottle.
I am not so sure about the colors I received. I am happy I got to try the white, but the other two are not really convincing me.
The two red polishes seemed pretty much the same so I did a comparison picture of the swatches. The gelicious looks a bit darker but the seem very similar.

As I said, they also sent me their base and top-coat, which I haven’t gotten a chance to try yet.
They offer so much more nail care products. I am always big for nail care, so I also wanted to show those to you.
bright up polish
cuticle remover
iron nail hardener (with formaldehyde)
nail hardener (without formaldehyde)
pro calcium gel
ridgefiller
rose nail oil
Their products are very affordable, in the price range of p2 or Essence products. But if you live in or near Hamburg, those might be worth a try. My favorite are definitely the gummies polishes.
How do you like the colors? Anything interesting for you?
Please also check my friend Heidi’s Blog (www.heidispolish.com). She also received some colors to try out. Her Blog post is in German and very informative.

[movie] Mad Max: Fury Road Review
Hello everyone,
today I have a short, yet spoiler free, movie recommendation for you.
Right when I saw the teaser and trailers, which were so full of action and excitement, there was no doubt that I had to see this movie on the big screen.
That being said, I was very disappointed in the horrible German synchronisation, which was why I decided to see it in English. I also got the tip to see it in 2D rather than 3D, so I searched for a cinema in Berlin that showed the movie in 2D and OV (original version). Sadly not many cinemas offered it that way, but I luckily found a small cinema called Kino Central which did. I bought two tickets, for my sister-in-law and myself to see the movie on Friday.
What should I say? The movie was exactly what I expected it to be. A great post-apocalyptic action thriller with tons of cool cars, action and great actors. It stars mainly Tom Hardy
and Charlize Theron fighting against the evil war lord Immortan Joe.
Since I don’t want to spoiler, I will only say that this movie is a must-see for the big screen. It is packed with action and very thrilling. I love that it keeps you interested over the whole 2 hours of watching it.
If you like action and you love explosions, you should definitely watch it in cinema.
