Cirque - Debris

Today I'm showing you a glitter polish from Cirque's Dark Horse collection. It's called Debris and it's awesome. Debris has a clear base with black and silver square and hex glitter and fine prismatic shimmer. I layered Debris over Zoya - Caitlin and I think they make a good pair! Caitlin doesn't look right in the first picture (too blue), but I wanted to show a glimpse of how pretty the prismatic shimmer looks in sunlight. ♥ The formula of Debris is nice, not too thick. The larger glitter parts tend to settle at the bottom, so I turned the bottle upside down before I started with my base colour. Worked like a charm, I had no trouble getting the larger ones out. This is one coat.

Thanks for watching!

Pink Floral Water Marble

Water marbling... who hasn't struggled with it? My first water marble experiment was two years ago, all I can remember was the mess and the frustration. Time for some practice! I decided to go for watermarbled accent nails. You know how much I like accent nails and it saved me a lot of frustration (and nail polish). I marbled with a random white polish, OPI - Mod About You and Aretha's R·E·S·P·I·N·K from Catrice. As a finishing touch I added a couple of dots with white polish and China Glaze - Ahoy. The light pink polish I used on most nails is also Mod About You from OPI.

Pupa - Holographic Strawberry

Oh, how I wish strawberries would look like this! ^_^ At the moment I'm wearing Holographic Strawberry, one of the polishes from Pupa's limited edition Holographic line. It's a muted warm pink with a not so muted prismatic effect. Look how intense, I'm head over heels! It reminds me a bit of China Glaze - TMI (which I sadly do not own, but owning something like it makes me happy). The formula was ok, I applied two thin coats over Nfu Oh's Aqua Base.

                                                                                                                                           image source

I bought Holographic Strawberry for €6,25 at the Dutch webshop. Quite expensive for only 5 ml.. I can't believe how weak I am when it comes to prismatic nail polishes. :$

Sparkly Tips with Cirque - Ophelia

A smooth base and glittery tips.. this is my favourite way to wear glitter polishes, I love the contrast! For today's mani I applied two coats of Essence - Chuck (looks more blurple than blue in real life) and I sponged the tips with Ophelia from Cirque. Ophelia is such a lovely glitter polish, it has a clear base with periwinkle coloured hex glitter and pink and green shimmer. You'll need at least four coats if you want to wear it on its own so I recommend layering it over an opaque base. In the picture below you can see how one coat of Ophelia looks over a black and a blurple creme polish.

Ophelia is part of Cirque's Dark Horse collection. This handmade collection is available on the Cirque website and locally in New York at Annie's stand at Hester Street Fair. Prices range from $12 to $16 (13.2 ml).

Neon Orange Glitter Fest

Is that bright or what? 8) Neon nail polish can be very unflattering on me (that doesn't stop me from wearing it, neons are just too much fun!), but the polish I'm showing you today actually IS flattering. This neon orangey colour is You Got Soul-Ar from Color Club. I hoped my orange nails would help our football team win the second match of Euro 2012 last Wednesday, but no.. we lost again, grr! Later I added one coat of OPI - Pirouette My Whistle (love it). I think it looks great with the non-sparkly light glitter from You Got Soul-Ar!

Thanks for watching and enjoy your weekend!

Cirque - Epoch

Today I'm showing you Epoch from the brand Cirque. Epoch has a shimmery duochrome finish and shifts from dark teal to purple. It's a real stunner, I love it! Epoch was easy to apply and dried fast, I used three thin coats. 

Epoch is part of Cirque's Dark Horse collection. This handmade collection is available on the Cirque website and locally in New York at Annie's stand at Hester Street Fair. Prices range from $12 to $16 (13.2 ml).

New Brand: CIRQUE

Recently Annie asked me if I wanted to review some of her nail polishes. She just released a collection of handmade nail polishes for her new label Cirque. I love trying out new brands, especially if everything looks so promising! The packaging was really cool - keep in mind this packaging is only for the press kits, but I just had to show you how pretty it is. What I like even more are the nail polishes, they look absolutely beautiful. The polishes you see on the plastic sticks are all part of Cirque's debut collection called Dark Horse. Two prismatic polishes, a duochrome, glitters, shimmers, glass flecks.. I love the variety. I can't wait to try them and show them to you!

You can get the Cirque nail polishes on the Cirque website and locally in New York at Annie's stand at Hester Street Fair. Prices range from $12 to $16.

Euro 2012 Nails

Today the Dutch football team will play their first match of Euro 2012! Our national colour is orange, but if I can avoid wearing it, I will. So I painted my nails with a grassy green (High Line Green from NYC), matching the football field. ^^ I used straight french tip guides to create the Dutch flag. I kinda like it.. the only downside of the green base is that the white stripe slowly got a greenish hue. Oh well, I'm ready, bring it on!

Flamingo Inspired Nails

Today I'm showing you another bird inspired mani (click here if you missed my peacock nails!). The colours I used for this gradient (Barry M - Peach Melba & Orly - Pixy Stix) reminded me very much of the colouring of a flamingo, so I decided to do some accent nails with feathers. For the feathers I used plate BM-214 and Konad Special Nail Polish in White. I added some sparkly accents on the feathers with Rica from Zoya. I hope you like the end result as much as I do! ^_^

Syrup Glitter Nails

After I saw a couple of Nfu Oh's Jelly Syrup nail polishes on Jeanette's beautiful nails I couldn't resist and ordered two, JS17 and JS30. Today I'm showing you JS17, a happy green jelly. I was in the mood for some glitter, so I also used OPI - Pirouette My Whistle. The layering order was JS17-JS17-glitter-JS17-glitter-JS17-glitter. Applying JS17 was easy, no streaking or bubbling at all. I was afraid it would take forever to dry, but the drying time was surprisingly quick for 7 (!) coats. Ahh, I'm in love with my syrup glitter mani. ♥
