Nailart: Turquoise flower

Catrice "Meet me at coral island" and Catrice "Million dollar baby"

Hi there!

Today i want to share 2 catrice polishes with you. Well, one is a nailpolish and the other is a effect topcoat from the "Million styles" edition. "Meet me at coral island" i already had for a few days, but i wanted to use it at the right moment. It's such a bright color, perfect for summer! I think....no, i know it would look awesome on your toes!! I have a nailartwheel, and i swatched it on there. When i bought the effect topcoat 2 days ago, i layered it over this color and it looked so pretty! I love glitter, but normally i don't buy topcoats with such big glitters in it, so i was having some doubts if i would buy it. I'm so glad i did, because i really love this one!
This is what they look like together!

So, Catrice "Meet me at coral island" and Catrice "Million dollar baby" from the Million Styles collection. Gorgeous, don't you think?

This is what the color looks like without the awesome glitters.

It's pretty hard to get the real beautiful, bright, coral color on camera. Well...you know what...you just have to go out and buy yourself this gorgeus color so you can see it in real life ;-)

Thank you for your time, and

i talk to you guys soon!!

Nailart: Piano nails

Hey!

Maybe you've seen my post about the China Glaze "Dance Baby" with Sally Hansen "Glass Slipper" swatches. Well......after a few days i decided to do some nailart. There are many piano nails i've seen, but one inspired me to do this one. The link to the original design is in the descriptionbar of the youtube video.
Thanks for watching and talk to you next time!!

China Glaze Dance Baby and Sally Hansen Glass slipper

Hello dear readers,

Last week i received a package from my dear friend Jae (Jaemarie2008). She is one of my sweetest friends from YouTube. Besides the fact that she makes wonderfull nailart, she is a wonderfull person! We just did our 2nd swap. This time we knew what we wanted, so we tried to get all the stuff we askes from eachother. And of course we both added some surprises! I've asked, among other things, China Glaze "Dance Baby". I had seen some swatches on a few blogs from the Electropop collection, and i really wanted this one (and also Aquadelic). Thank god she could get her hands on this pretty, precious polish! I couldn't wait to wear it!

When i was done staring at this awesome color, i went on with looking what great stuff she'd send more. Then i found out she had send me Glass Slipper from Sally Hansen. I haven't seen this one before, but i am madly in love with it. The first thing that came to me was that it must look great on Dance Baby. It would give the perfect subtle spark to this color. And i was right! When i was outside in the sun (ok, a little bit of sun) it looked AWESOME!
I know...the pictures don't really show that, but i've tried...

Imagine what these flakies will look like on a very dark color? Dark blue, black.....i bet it would be an eyecatcher!!

Thank you for your time!

Essence "A walk in the park" and "Stop for an icecream"

Hi there!

Since a few weeks Essence have some new polishes in their assortment. The 3 -way polish! A few months ago they had a limited edition on the 3- way polishes and they were great. I got 2 at that moment. I recently bought another one. It seemed like one of the polishes were flakies. Now i know they aren't, LOL. But hey, i still like it. The green color is gorgeous without adding the sparkles (i think it looks even better without the sparkles) It's called A walk in the park. The glitter topcoat is called Stop for an icecream.
I applied 2 coats, which went smooth, and one coat of glitter. No base and topcoat on this one.
Well...i let you see for yourself....

I don't know about this glitter coat, what do you think?

Half one stroke flower

Hi guys!

I'm soooo jealous of the people who can do a perfect one stroke flower. Well, jealous may be not the right word, but i do envy them a lot! I wish i could do that, but...i'll keep practicing.
So last week i made my first franken, a pink holographic polish, which you can find HERE , but i wanted to make a nailart design on top. I decided to give my one stroke another try! I thought i'd go for a pink and blue combo, and you know what, it turned out pretty nice if i may say so myself. Well, i let you judge for yourself....

And? What do you think? What i used is my franken holo polish as my basecolor. I used a pink acrylic paint from Folkart and a blue i bought at a local DIY shop (Kwantum). I also used some big glitters which i loveee so much! Topcoat: Seche Vite. To see the step by step video click HERE

Ok, so for a comparison to see  if my one stroke skills got any better, i have a picture of my first one stroke flower...

I think i got a bit better, but i know it's still far from perfect.

Thanks for stopping by!

My first franken!!

Hi there!

I made my first franken! Yay!!
I don't know why i haven't done this before, it was FUN!
I'm always complaining that i don't have any holographic polishes, now that's not something which can't be done anything about, i know that. I can order them online, but i don't like to buy stuff from the internet. I'm always afraid something will go wrong, or i won't receive it. Besides that, i always thinks it's a waste of my money to spend much for the shipping.
Anyway!!!!! A few weeks, maybe months ago my sweet friend Jae from YouTube send me some holographic glitters! OMG, they look so awesome, but i was so afraid to use them LOL. I know that sounds dumb silly! So, yesterday i had them in my hands again, and i thought, what the heck, let's give it a try. And you know what? It turned out absolutely gorgeous! Now, there wasn't any sun to pick up the gorgeous rainbows in this holo, but this is what it turned out in the bottle.

I started with filling the bottle for about 3/4 with clear polish by Sally Hansen. Then i added the holographic glitters and gave it a good shake! When you want to use it right away, don't shake the bottle, but role it in your hand. Shaking causes bubbles. I was not going to use it that day, so i shaked! After that i added a few drops of Catrice "The pinky and the brain", which is a very vibrant pink and Mavala "Wichita", which is a very soft/sheer pink. I gave it another shake and that's it!

I made another polish, as my basecolor for this holo.
I found a bottle of Orly Ridgefiller which was half full. I added some clear polish to this bottle, a few drops of Catrice "The pinky and the brain" and a few drops of Catrice "Meet me at coral island". That gave me a perfect soft pink for my basecolor.

This is what they look like together on my nails...

The pictures are absolutely not showing the beauty of this polish. But....most of you know what a holo looks like, so you can understand i love this! I did make another one, with turkoise, woohooo.... I will show that next time!

By the way, my new polishes need a name, any idea's?

Thank you for stopping by!
