Queen's Day Nails

First of all: thanks for all the lovely comments on my last post. I knew you guys would like it as much as I did, lol! Today's Queen's Day, a national holiday in The Netherlands. Our national colour is orange, so orange nails it is! I can't say I'm a fan of orange, but hey.. once a year I can make an exception. :) I'm wearing two coats of Essence - Andy, You're a Star and for the crown I used China Glaze - 2030 and image plate BM-215. I also thought it would be nice to add a rhinestone for some bling.

Thanks for watching!

Cowgirl Up On Steroids

Oooh, just look at that! This is one coat of Speciallità - Atena over two coats of China Glaze - Cowgirl Up. A dreamy combination, isn't it? I'm in love. The red-purple glow from Cowgirl Up combined with the amazing prismatic sparkles from Atena.. it's almost too hot to handle! :L

Neon Funky French

I rarely photograph my neon manis, 'cause well.. it frustrates me that I can't capture the glowing brightness. But I'm so excited about this mani, I just had to share it with you! I'm wearing two coats of OPI - Mod About You and for the funky french tips I used Pool Party from China Glaze. Like I said: impossible to photograph. This looks way cooler (and pinkier) in real life. I freakin' love it! The ribbon sticker is from Essence. Cute, isn't it?

Peach!

Today's mani is all about the colour peach! I used three coats of Barry M - Peach Melba on most nails and Catrice - I Scream Peach! for some accent nails. The circles are from Konad plate m65 and I stamped with Konad Special Nail Polish in White. At first I wanted to add rhinestones, but I prefer smooth nails so I placed a couple of dots with sparkly Rica from Zoya. The result: peachy 'springy' nails.. just what I was going for! :)

Thanks for watching and have a nice weekend!

Liquid Crystal Tips

I want to declare my love to Crushed Velvet from Diamond Cosmetics. It's my fav dark purple creme, so smooth and dreamy... I love it to pieces! And with China Glaze - Liquid Crystal sponged on the tips I love it even more. This is such a winning combination, I couldn't stop staring at my nails! The third picture shows the blue-purple colour shift in Liquid Crystal, SO gorgeous. (Keep in mind this mani looks way more purple in person.)

colour shifting shimmer, multi-coloured glitter, ooh and aah! ♥

Bright Pink Glitter Nails

Who can resist bright pink glitter nails? I know I can't! ♥ For this mani I started with two coats of Barry M - Pink Flamingo. Then I added one of Catrice's Million Styles Effect Top Coats, Million Dollar Baby, a top coat with small gold hex glitter and medium-sized silver hexes. Silver you say? Then why do I see pink glitter? That's because I also added a layer of the sheer pink jelly of Essence's Colour³ nail polish called Brightsmates. Oh yes, you're looking at a glitter sandwich! ^_^ My camera freaked out a little (actually a lot *sigh*), my nails are obviously pink, but not neon pink in real life (that would've been nice too!). The close-up picture is more colour accurate than the first pic.

Thanks for watching! :h

a england - Princess Tears

I can totally see why this delicate polish is a england's gem of the month, it's a lovely shade for spring! Princess Tears is a lilac coloured polish with a strong lilac flash ánd an awesome and strong prismatic effect. At some angles it also flashes a subtle yellow-green, you can see a hint of it in my last picture. Princess Tears is kinda like Ascalon's lighter, lilac coloured sister! This polish has what we can call the typical a england formula: excellent. I used two coats, no top coat.

Princess Tears is part of The Legend collection. This fabled collection is available (with free worldwide shipping!) on the a england website.

Thanks for watching!

Copper'ize Me Caught On The Red Carpet

Today I want to show you a super cool new glitter topper from Essence called Copper'ize Me! Its clear base is filled with small copper coloured glitter and medium-sized multi-coloured glitter. I applied one coat over two coats of Catrice - Caught On The Red Carpet. My camera couldn't pick up the right colour, COTRC looks more blue-toned and deeper in real life. But.. I'm posting this to show you how awesome the glitterzz are! I love how the copper glitter peeks through and how it twinkles with the glossy finish. Copper'ize Me! is a stunner, matte ánd glossy!

without matte top coat

Thanks for watching and have a good Easter weekend!

Pastel Arches

Do you guys remember this mani? And this one? During spring I love wearing pastel colours, so this time I created a pastel version. I already had Did You 'ear About Van Gogh from OPI's Holland collection on my nails, a wonderful neutral shade with good wear time. For the arched tips I used OPI - Mod About You (pink), the minty colour is Thanks a Windmillion, also from OPI. To complete this mani I placed a couple of silver dots with Millennium from China Glaze and of course I applied a good layer of top coat. I'm really pleased with this combination! Pastel ♥
