This months theme for Cyw’s “Mottomonat” is “Glitter on Top”, which is THE! BEST! TOPIC! EVER! for the little magpie in me… 😀 I started with two coats of “wow, wow, wow!” and then just used a small brush to add the green stripe. As I already said above, this was so far the easiest…
I was in the mood for short(er) nails again, and to me, short nails always mean dark nails… 😉 I usually don’t buy OPI polishes – although I like the quality, their regular price is just way too much for my taste. But I travel a lot, and when I see special offers at the…
I finally found the time to try one of the new edding nail polishes: And yeah, it is quite ok, application was nice, drying time was ok, and it lasted my regular two days. But that was pretty much the problem, it is simply ok – and so are essence and p2 polishes (the new…
Cyw wants to cool down a little with a “Soft Summer” for this months “Mottomonat”, so I thought I’d offer her some iced water… 😀 I started with two coats of a sheer light blue, then dabbed on two shades of mint/aqua for a bubbly and water like effect. After this dried, I added some…
I usually love the summer themed LEs from p2, and “Beyond Lagoon” is no exception to the rule. I am showing you two colors today, but I am pretty sure the other two will follow soon… 😀 While the darker colors are a bit sheer and more metallic looking, the yellow is more of a…
I had two ideas for this months theme for Cyw’s “Mottomonat” – “Pool Party”. But since I didn’t manage to do both, I thought I combine them to a skittle-like look and call it “A day at the pool”… 😀 The water-looking nails are quite simple, I started with a middle, slighty aqua colored, blue…
These are again fashion show inspired nails, this time from Mara Hoffman Fall 2015: I started with two coats of a light blue, and used darker colors and a small brush to paint in the curved lines. I wasn’t sure about the metallic tips in the original version, so I used a less contrasting color.…
I finally found the time to give the new essence polish range – called “the gel nail polish”, though they are regular drying polishes and don’t need light or an UV lamp – a try: Consider me impressed. 😀 It’s nothing new that I like essence polishes – they apply well and I LOVE the…
As I already wrote last week, next to the stamping plate organizers, Born Pretty Store kindly sent me two stamping plates for review as well: Both plates are very well etched, the square one a bit deeper than the round one, though both not as deep as the MoYou London plates. But after some slight…
This months theme for Cyw’s “Mottomonat” is “Something lacy”. My first idea was doing some sort of bridal nails, but since I already did something like this for last years “Elegance” month, I decided to go a little more “Burlesque”. 😉 I started with two coats of “jamaica me crazy” and then added a stamping…
