Tiramisu' And Nails!

Hello. I need to find a way to post regularly but not spending too much time with it yet being efficient...

Ok, let me show how i make a scrumptious italian dessert: Tiramisu' and show you the state of my nails after 4 hours hard core house cleaning.

First Tiramisu' made with a technique to pasteurise the eggs, since they are going to be consumed raw, it really makes me cringe, but i found this way very helpful to avoid eating them totally raw.

1) Prepare a coffee (strong or light, is up to you), sugar is optional ( i do) , and pour in it Marsala liquor (quantity to your taste). Marsala substitutes: rum,spirit of your choice or nothing. The original recipe is with Marsala.

2) I use three eggs, divide them in whites and yolks. Whisk the eggs to a very hard consistence, and whisk the yolks with 100 g sugar till a foamy, creamy consistence.

3) Put 50 g sugar in a little casserole with a bit of water, on medium flame, heat until the syrup is still clear and bubbling with big bubbles. While whisking the whites add half of the syrup to the meringue and reform the hard meringue. And add the rest of the syrup to the yolks always mixing. (if the syrup hardens in the mixture, don't worry it will dissolve again).

4) Incorporate 350 g of  Mascarpone to the yolks and mix.

5) Add the meringue to the mascarpone mixture and mix gently. (Check sweetness level).

6) Wet the savoiardo in the coffee and cover the bottom of a pan with them. The more you wet the biscuit the more soft it will become.

7) Level the cream on top of the biscuits and sprinkle bitter cocoa. You can make levels with savoiardo and the cream, you decide. The original recipe is just one level.

 

My nails were 2,3 cm... a week ago i cleaned every corner of the living room and the whole fridge an freezer that was literally, totally freezed. I broke every nail and now just patience... i feel that my hands are sooo weightless!

DIY: Hands And Body Sugar Scrub

I think most of us, if not all, love soft and smooth skin. A very easy way to achieve this is by regular exfolation, since is going to be regular, it better be a gentle one.
And is such a nice thing to make our own scrub! they're so easy to make at home, with few (or more) ingredients.
I poured in my jar brown sugar, a bit of fine white sugar, in order to have different particle sizes for a better performance, then added bits of fresh lavender from my garden and finally poured on top a nice organic coconut oil, stir with a knife and adjust oil quantity if the mixture is dry.
Of course you can make your own variations: use salt instead of sugar or both, olive oil or another nice oil good for the skin.
I am ready to make one with grated orange peel and another with red rose petals, also from my garden.

Orly "Royal Navy"

I found my favorite blue: Tadaa! How can this be possible?? so saturated, bright, sooo blue.

Mi esmalte azul preferido! saturacion del color optima, intensa. Lo recomiendo a todo aquel que ame el azul.

この マニキュアは  私の好きな青 はです。とても ブリリアントです。

Il mio blue numero uno! Proprio degno di essere chiamato blue regale. Stupendo!!

Mon bleu préféré. Très lumineux et pigmentée. Je l'aime beaucoup.  

 Meine Lieblings-blau. Sehr pigmentiert. Ich mag es so sehr.

Essie"Navigate Her"

 

 Hello. Today i have on my nails this green which i like a lot (OMG...me...liking a green...).

After the huge disappoitment that Essie "Mint Candy Apple" was, i was afraid of having the same with this.

This green must have a mixture of tones suitable for my skin color, because i don't have the sensation of my hands dirty with pumpkin puree or ketchup.

Ok, see you next.

Essence "Wake Up" feat. NFU OH 51

Me wearing orange?, might be gettin' crazy...anyway, this caught my attention at the drawer for being bright and crisp.  Formula is amazing! with the right density to glide smoothly the polish onto the nail, basically no mistakes!, and since i couldn't decide between two colors, i opted for both.

Yo y el mamei...debo estar loca...pero me llamo a la atencion por su vivacidad. Lo primero que me vino en la mente quando lo vi, fue ese jugo de "naranja" que solia beber de niña.

la formula es estupenda, se aplica muy facilmente, y como no sabia por qual color decidirme, los use a ambos.

こんにちはみんな. わたしは オレンジ が へたですが これわ とても きれいてす

から 私はそれを持って幸せです。

Debo essere impazzita: io e l'arancione!, Mi ha colpito la vivacità del colore, ed é un bene in piu' la formula densa e scorrevole al punto giusto. E siccome non riuscivo a decidermi tra due colori, li porto entrambi.

Hallo.Orange gefelt es mir nicht aber dieser Nagellack ist sehr lebendig. In diesem Fall konnte ich nicht zwischen zwei Farben entscheiden, so dass ich beide tragen.

Je ne le croix pas mais...moi avec l'orange! mais il est tellement joli et vif que il me plait beaucoup. Et puis  il y a une formule magnifique, tres facile a utiliser.

How to: Smooth Glitter Manicure (finally...)

Good afternoon. I want to share with you how to obtain a glass like finish on your glitter manicures.
Once i was visiting Essence.com and out of curiosity i read the "better than gel nails" section and thought to myself that if these sealers are meant to smooth a fake nail tip, they could be good to smooth glitters too.
I got the sealers and put them as indicated by the brand: after my manicure was done, i applied the base sealer and then the top sealer.
OMG! it works, and with a very, very good result. Those top coat- sucker polishes have to surrender against this combo.
For the purpose of this post, pictures were taken about 15 hours after application, and as you can see the surface of the nail is smooth and shiny, just be carefull to spread each sealer evenly to avoid little rough spots. I've worn this combo for four days on top of very thirsty glitter polishes (Wet 'n Wild coloricon polishes) and the surface is still smooth, you can just refresh the glossy finish with your regular top coat.
You can apply Seche Vite right after the top sealer to speed up the drying process or you can leave it as is, either way you'll obtain a smooth, glass like glitter manicure. (These pictures are without any fast drying top coat on top of the sealers).

Orly-Sweet Peacock

 

This blue by Orly is very bright, lots of pigment, but the polish needs a bit of thinner: is too dense. It has a metallic finish and a grainy appearance.

Un azul bien encendido y pigmentado, aunque necesita un poco de suavizante ya que es bien denso. Tiene un acabado metalico y una apariencia granulosa.

この 青い は  とても  ブリリアント です、ても すこし  欝蒼 ですよ。

Questo blu di orly é molto acceso, purtroppo con una formula molto densa: bisogna qualche goccia di fluido ristorativo. Ha un finish metallico e un aspetto granuloso.
