En ce moment, s’il y a bien un vernis qui agite la blogo, c’est bien le Teenage Dream de OPI. Idéal pour les accros du vernis, du glitter et de la paillette, mais quasi introuvable dans la plupart des Sephora. Résultat, moi qui le voulait, je me suis vite dit que je ne vivrai jamais mon rêve d’ado* (teenage dream quoi).
Et puis, l’autre soir en faisant mes courses à Monop’, je fais un détour vers le rayon maquillage et je tombe sur ça :
Le vernis Color Play n°95 de la marque Debby. A vrai dire, ce stand, je ne le regarde jamais mais là, j’ai été interpellée par le stand de vernis pailleté. Il y avait celui-ci, dans les tons rose, mais également un dans des tons violets et un dans des tons bleu métallisé également. Hop, un petit coup d’oeil vers l’étiquette et là, je vois 6.95€ (si ma mémoire est bonne). Ni une ni deux, celui finit directement dans mon panier, entre une bouteille de coca et un paquet de pâtes.
Comme j’en avais marre de porter mon vernis taupe Miss Helen (ah ben tiens, encore du Monop’!), ni une ni deux, je me suis retrouvée avec les doigts pailletés! Et je ne le regrette pas!
Un séchage rapide, des doigts méga pailletés mais qui sont plutôt discrets de loin…et la même couleur que le Teenage Dream d’OPI! Je crois que je ne pouvais pas être plus heureuse!
En plus, bon plan : en ce moment, avec les 3J ces vernis sont soldés aux Galeries Lafayette – en tout cas, sur Marseille, je les ai vus soldés! Sinon, pour moins de 10€, je pense que c’est tout à fait raisonnable, non?
Et sinon… chose promise, chose dûe : le résultat du concours (Oh La La) Paris! Encore une fois, vous avez été nombreuses à participer (une centaine environ) et je me dois de vous féliciter pour votre assiduité à mes concours! ;)
Mais il est temps de tirer une seule gagnante..Heureusement pour vous, je suis super gentille comme fille et j’essaye de vous organiser régulièrement des concours! D’ailleurs, en ce moment, il y a un concours pour gagner une création Saraha!
La grande gagnante du bon d’achat de 20€ à valoir sur la boutique d’OH La La Paris est le commentaire n°2, soit Pauline du blog La Boite à Bijoux de Pauline C! Félicitations, je t’envoie un mail dans la soirée pour te mettre en relation avec Mélanie! ;)

PS : merci à toutes pour vos gentils mots sur mon dernier article! Vous zêtes des zamours ♥
Vous me connaissez, j’adore vous gâter! Alors, quand je suis tombée par hasard sur la boutique de Mélanie, connue sous le nom de (Oh la la) Paris, j’ai craqué. Et j’ai découvert une créatrice avec un réel univers, qui ne demande qu’à le partager avec tout plein de personnes. Des bijoux poétiques, un vrai esprit créatif… Allez hop, je vous embarque dans l’univers de (Oh La La) Paris!
Bonjour Mélanie! Peux-tu te présenter en quelques mots ?
Bonjour Amélie ! Et bien je suis donc Mélanie, Toulousaine d’origine, Parisienne d’adoption, et toute jeune créatrice de la marque (Oh la la !).
Dans la vie, j’aime rire, le fromage, remonter le moral des gens, respirer un bol d’air pur et les bains bouillants.
Sinon, je n’aime pas refaire 2 fois les mêmes erreurs, rater mon avion (ça marche aussi avec le train), le ski ou plutôt les virages de montagne, et avoir les cheveux électriques.
Ta marque s’appelle (Oh La La !) Paris Depuis quand existe-t-elle, et surtout comment t’es-tu lancée dans l’aventure?
J’ai créé ma première ligne de bijoux en Octobre 2010, mais cela faisait déjà quelques temps qu’elle était toute conçue dans ma tête. Je n’ai pas un parcours de bijoutier, ni même de créatrice ou quoi que ce soit en rapport avec ce que je fais aujourd’hui. J’ai tout appris seule, sur le tas (et sur le tard), par tâtonnement mais avec passion.
Avant, j’étais une employée modèle dans des services export plus ou moins ennuyeux. Et puis un jour j’ai eu besoin d’un grand, très grand bol d’air. (Oh la la !) est né de ce souffle d’air, j’ai voulu mes créations légères, simples et rêveuses. J’espère insuffler autant d’énergie à celles qui les portent que ce que j’y ai mis dedans…
Tes créations sont très féminines et délicates, avec un vrai univers poétique. D’ailleurs, le slogan de ta marque, c’est « Bijoux expressifs ». D’où tires-tu ton inspiration?
Plus ou moins consciemment, j’ai créé des bijoux à mon image : j’ai conçu ce que j’aurais aimé porter à ce moment là. On ne me verra jamais créer un bijou parce que « ça plairait aux autres ». Après, il est certain que je suis moi aussi influencée par les tendances, la mode, et surtout par mes heures de ballade sur les blogs déco et sur Flickr… La moustache, c’est « so 2010 » mais c’est si drôle !
Aujourd’hui mes goûts ont évolué, et je suis en train d’élaborer 2 nouvelles collections assez différentes de ce que vous apercevez aujourd’hui sur mon site. Je suis comme beaucoup de filles : changeante et indécise. Cela se retrouve dans mes collections je pense. Ces prochains bijoux seront « expressifs » car ils feront réellement passer un message. Le choix d’un collier, d’un bracelet, tout comme d’un vêtement, n’est pas anodin pour une femme : c’est une façon de s’exprimer, de montrer une facette de soi.
En allant sur ton site internet, on peut voir en homepage une vidéo mettant en scène tes créations! C’est génial, ça fait très pro! Tu penses en faire une sorte de mini-série, au fil de tes collections?
Bien entendu ! Tu as tout compris : le clip vidéo est le petit « plus » qui rend chaque collection unique (et puis ce sont quelques heures de bonheur, ces tournages). J’ai de la chance d’être entourée de personnes très compétentes dans ce domaine, qui ont su capter mon univers et le retranscrire en images. Tout le mérite leur revient sur ce point là. Maintenant le prochain clip est bien dans les cartons : il ne nous manque plus que quelques heures de beau temps pour le tourner ! A voir donc au printemps prochain !
La question rituelle du blog, celle que je pose à tous les créateurs! ;) Si tu devais créer une collection capsule pour une marque ou un créateur, ce serait qui et pourquoi?
En matière de créateurs ou de marques de mode, je n’ai pas de réel « coup de coeur » qui se démarquerait, bien que j’admire le travail de bon nombre d’entre eux. Les jeunes créatrices de mode ne sont pas en reste également, et en choisir un/e s’avère trop difficile. Par contre, j’imaginerais bien une collection de bijoux inspirée par un parfumeur comme « L’Artisan Parfumeur » car les odeurs de ces parfums me font chavirer et partir loin… Des bijoux de bouteille utilisables en pendentif peut-être ? Je vais les contacter pour voir … ;-)
Pour info, les créations de Mélanie sont en vente sur sa boutique en ligne mais aussi chez Les Mégères pour les Parisiennes (16 rue de Cotte 75012 Paris) et dans une boutique éphémère toujours sur Paris au Lieu 37 (37 rue des Petites Ecuries 75015 Paris) du 8 Mars au 8 Avril.
Et comme Mélanie est une fille super sympa, elle vous offre un bon d’achat de 20€ à valoir sur sa boutique Etsy! Pour cela, il vous suffit de me laisser un commentaire sur cet article en me disant pour quel bijou vous craqueriez avec ce bon d’achat! Le ou la gagnante sera tiré au sort via un logiciel.
Pour cela, vous avez jusqu’au Mardi 22 Mars – 20h! N’hésitez pas non plus à retrouver Mélanie sur Facebook pour être au courant de toute son actualité créative! :)

Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers, randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported technologies etc.) can be stored or read on your device to recognise it each time it connects to an app or to a website, for one or several of the purposes presented here.
Illustrations
Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).
Illustrations
A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Illustrations
If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Illustrations
An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
Information about your activity on this service (for instance, forms you submit, non-advertising content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (such as your previous activity on this service or other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.
Illustrations
You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
Content presented to you on this service can be based on your content personalisation profiles, which can reflect your activity on this or other services (for instance, the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects. This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.
Illustrations
You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Illustrations
You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.
Illustrations
You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Illustrations
The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Illustrations
A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
Content presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type, or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times a video or an article is presented to you).
Illustrations
A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
Your data can be used to monitor for and prevent unusual and possibly fraudulent activity (for example, regarding advertising, ad clicks by bots), and ensure systems and processes work properly and securely. It can also be used to correct any problems you, the publisher or the advertiser may encounter in the delivery of content and ads and in your interaction with them.
Illustrations
An advertising intermediary delivers ads from various advertisers to its network of partnering websites. It notices a large increase in clicks on ads relating to one advertiser, and uses data regarding the source of the clicks to determine that 80% of the clicks come from bots rather than humans.
Certain information (like an IP address or device capabilities) is used to ensure the technical compatibility of the content or advertising, and to facilitate the transmission of the content or ad to your device.
Illustrations
Clicking on a link in an article might normally send you to another page or part of the article. To achieve this, 1°) your browser sends a request to a server linked to the website, 2°) the server answers back (“here is the article you asked for”), using technical information automatically included in the request sent by your device, to properly display the information / images that are part of the article you asked for. Technically, such exchange of information is necessary to deliver the content that appears on your screen.
The choices you make regarding the purposes and entities listed in this notice are saved and made available to those entities in the form of digital signals (such as a string of characters). This is necessary in order to enable both this service and those entities to respect such choices.
Illustrations
When you visit a website and are offered a choice between consenting to the use of profiles for personalised advertising or not consenting, the choice you make is saved and made available to advertising providers, so that advertising presented to you respects that choice.
Information about your activity on this service may be matched and combined with other information relating to you and originating from various sources (for instance your activity on a separate online service, your use of a loyalty card in-store, or your answers to a survey), in support of the purposes explained in this notice.
In support of the purposes explained in this notice, your device might be considered as likely linked to other devices that belong to you or your household (for instance because you are logged in to the same service on both your phone and your computer, or because you may use the same Internet connection on both devices).
Your device might be distinguished from other devices based on information it automatically sends when accessing the Internet (for instance, the IP address of your Internet connection or the type of browser you are using) in support of the purposes exposed in this notice.
With your acceptance, certain characteristics specific to your device might be requested and used to distinguish it from other devices (such as the installed fonts or plugins, the resolution of your screen) in support of the purposes explained in this notice.
