I Love you people...

Hello everyone! ^^

You all know I've been super busy lately, and I haven't been writing that much here, I've just published pics and some basic information. Now I feel like writing some deep thoughts so here we go... :P
I'm living far from home right now, and even though I love everything here, Finland will always have special place in my heart, no matter how cold and crappy the weather is out there right now. ;) I don't really miss the place, I miss my people over there. ^^

My friends mean everything for me, I've known some of you my whole life and some of you 5 years or less (I know you guys are reading this <3), but time doesn't really matter. I have my new life here, and it's really amazing how awesome people I've met, but I could never forget any of you!

Right now I'm just enjoying my time here, because I know that one day I have to come back and then I will miss everyone from here. It really breaks my heart to know that there will always be people who are living far away from me and who I'm going to miss so much. I realized it the other day when I was chilling with my friends. Not many people stay here for a long time, people move back to their home-countries or some other countries and new people come here instead. This is a wonderful opportunity and experience, and I will never forget people I've met here or things I've done, but I just wish I could have all my homies in the same country at least... :') I never thought I would like this place so much, but in the end it's the people I love who matters. I'm going to come to Finland in February and I'm thrilled to see you again! x) It's been too long! <3

And all you my wonderful readers, thank you so much for your patience and sweet comments! <3 You guys are one of the reasons I'm writing this blog, so thank you for every single one of you! ^^
Haha this was very random post, thank you for everyone who read the whole thing... :'D I just wanted my people to know how much you really mean to me. You have made me a better person, cheered me up when I was feeling down and been patient and understanding even though I haven't always deserved that... x) You have always been there for me, and I hope you know I will always be there for you. <3

Award~ (Did u know this about me? ;))

I received this award from Minnie, Thank you once again! <3 Now I'm supposed to pass this award to 10 bloggers of my choice and then write 10 facts about myself.
It was a little challenging to choose blogs that hadn't received this award yet (or at least I hope I chose blogs that hadn't got this one yet...), but here are my choices:

1. Manicure Madness
2. My Travel Diary
3. Red Cherries
4. We heart nails!
5. Ash-Lilly's Lacquer Lust
6. Frippery Digits
7. Candy Library
8. Colouring my life
9. Shiny Nail Art
10. Diava's Lacquer Box

They're all very great blogs! Then the 10 things about me... Well, I was planning to do a proper post in which I'd tell you more about myself with lots of pictures (never seen before stuff, I was actually thinking somekind of picture of myself...). Would you even be interested? :'D Anyway, here's some facts for starters:

1. atm I'm very excited about Eurovision song contest! :P We watch them every year, and it's sort of a tradition... Even though the songs this year aren't that fabulous (my opinion!) I love the show. ^^

2. Sometimes I write lots of posts ready and then just publish them in time. Atm I have five (!) posts waiting to be published... :'D

3. I've probably mentioned this already, but my nails are very short in my right hand... I keep trying to grow them, but the index and middle nails always chip or crack, and so I shorten them all. :')

4. I'm addicted to lip palm! My lips get very dry if I stop using it, even in summer... I add lip palm probably more than 10 times a day.

5. I love drawing, but lately I haven't been drawing that much... I don't know why. Well, I guess I'm just waiting for somekind of huge inspiration! x)

6. I'm 182 cm tall and VERY clumsy. :'D My balance is horrible and keep stumbling.. I love high heels but I can't wear them that much because of this... I would be so much taller than everybody else!! xD

7. I dislike my feet. Because I'm so tall, my shoe size is...41-42 !! xDD There, I told it to everyone publicly on the internet... Anyway, sometimes it's hard to find cute shoes that would fit perfectly. I've always dreamed of desingning shoe-collection for tall and big-feeted people like me... Then I wouldn't have to worry about finding perfect shoes anymore! :P

8. I have glasses but I like them, I can't imagine myself without them. (Yes it's getting hard to think about these facts... Two more!)

9. I love chocolate and unhealthy food like chips or hamburgers, and eat them too much! I should start excercising, but for some reason (I'm lazy :')) I haven't yet...

10. I also love cooking, and if I have good recipes, I'm pretty good at it! ...Okay, anyone can cook with good instructions, but anyway. I love especially making brownies and apple pie, and in my opinion the best recipes ever can be found from here: Joy of Baking. If you love cooking, you should try them! My favorites are Apple Pie (<-- That's the best recipe ever!!! <3 It takes lots of time and effort, but it's worth it!) and Rocky Road Brownies (There's also basic brownie recipes, but that was the first I tried and fell in love with xD).

Okay, that's it. Was there something surprising? ;D Or is there still something you'd like to know? ^^

Btw, is anyone of you following Eurovisions this year? I already mentioned this topic, but I want to talk more about it... :'D This year the contest is at Germany. As I said, there's not that much great songs but some of them are good. The first semifinal was yesterday evening at 22.00 (Finnish time), and I watched it live on the internet. I have to admit that I wasn't any big fan of Finland's song (I just think it's okay), but I'm so glad we made it to the finals! ^^ This evening is the second semifinal, and I'm going to watch that too. :) Here's the Finland's song:

Well, I'll probably write some more about the whole thing after the Final. ;) Do you have any favorites? Or Dislikes? :)

Sain siis tuon Kreativ Blogger -palkinnon Minnieltä. Idea on listata 10 hyvää blogia joille laittaa palkinnon eteenpäin, ja sitten kertoa 10 asiaa itsestään. Suunnittelin tekeväni vähän isomman postauksen jossa kerron enemmän itsestäni kuvien kanssa (kiinnostaako ketään? :D), joten en nyt käännä tuota koko litaniaa...
Oletteko seuranneet Euroviisuja? Minusta taso ei ole tänä vuonna kovin korkealla, mutta katson viisut silti, siitä on tullut eräänlainen perinne... x) Eilen katsoin 1. semifinaalin YLE areenan kautta, ja olen kyllä iloinen että Suomi pääsi jatkoon vaikka en olekaan kyseisen kappaleen suuri fani! :P 
Onko teillä suosikkeja / inhokkeja? :)

Some giveaways...

Okay first of all I'm very sorry to post just because of giveaways, but I didn't have time to put the pics of my new nails on computer yet, so you have to wait a little moment... I'll do the proper nail posting tomorrow, I promise. ^^'
And hey, it seems that my Finnish readers are interested in reading my postings in Finnish, so from now on there's going to be a summary in Finnish in the end of my postings. :)
Now for the giveaways:

Tällä hetkellä näyttää siltä, että pitää alkaa rustailla niitä suomenkielisiä tiivistelmiä! ;) Aikaa äänestää on vielä huomiseen, joten kaikki ketkä ette ole vielä ehtineet kertoa mielipidettänne, niin äkkiä äänestämään! ^^

Aah that sparkle~^^ I'm lovin' it! ;) Hehe, I've done 2 blingy designs in quite a short period, so next design will be more detailed, I promise! ^^'

Close-up from the bottle! *_*

I asked from my Finnish readers if they'd like to read my blog in Finnish, and there's been lots of positive feedback about that. So now I'm going to put an opinion poll to my blog's sidebar, and they can vote for that. That would mean little summaries in Finnish at the end of my postings! :)
Eli aika moni on ilmeisesti sitä mieltä, että pieni suomenkielinen tiivistelmä olisi hyvä juttu? :) Päätin laittaa blogin sivupalkkiin kyselyn aiheesta, joten käykää äänestämässä! ^^

Find the differences

I was shopping for prom shoes at Helsinki, and I also bought new crackle -polishes (and found perfect shoes, too!). I'd heard that Depend has now it's own crackle-collection, and I wanted to try that out. Here's what I bought:

Depend pink Crackle Effect and IsaDora black Graffiti -polishes. I haven't tried the pink one yet, but that black is gorgeus! Here's a manicure I did with that:

I used the green Claire's polish as the base.

But.... Guess what? I suppose that IsaDora has run out with their original crackle polish bottles, or how can you explain this:

They almost look like the same with the paper-sealing on, but when you take it away...

How many differences can you find?

Oh noooo! I want my collection to be coherent! D: Well, I could accept the differences between the bottles to that point, but look at this:

Even the brushes are different!!! That ordinary, wide brush is so handy when putting on the crackle polish, because you need only one stroke and there it is, you're ready. But with that ordinary, non-wide brush you need several strokes, and that's very troublesome especially when you have long nails, like I do. The polish starts to crack very quickly, and you can't really fix it after it starts to dry. It has to be pretty much perfect with one stroke... Agh, I'm so frustrated. Luckily the quality of the polish itself is flawless.

Normal, beautiful IsaDora bottle.

The weird, sturdy bottle I dislike. :(

They have just glued on the stickers with the right inci and other information...

Oh, how disappointed I am. :P But there are some good things, I have to say. Though it says on the bottle that it has as much polish as the ordinary bottle, I'm pretty convinced that there's more polish in that bigger bottle. And it's still the same price... ;) And yeah, the crackles still look great on nails, no matter what the bottle looks like! :)

Oh, I almost forgot! I polished my friends' nails too!

I used the pink Sinful Colors -polish as the base and black crackle on the top. I did these for Lena.

Pink gradient and konad on top.

And hey, remember to vote, everyone! You have only 4 days left.... ;)
