Fishnets & hearts

Heya! :) The other day one of the producers of the DRK plates was so kind to leave a comment on an older post here, where I said the images smudged a bit and that I wasn't sure what caused that. She explained that the images on their plates are a bit deeper than most other plates, so the polish is still very wet when it's on the stamp. I always rush...

OMG

Do I need to say more? I think not!China Glaze OMG.My bottle is half empty already, not because I wear it so often but because... I frankened with it. There, I said it. *hides* Back then I didn't really realize how rare this polish would become, and even though those frankens turned out nice, I obviously wish now that I didn't! :)But luckily there's...

Purple/grey marble

I seldom watermarble because it can get so messy, polish doesn't always work, you can end up with bubbles, easily damage your freshly marbled nails because of the weird positions you sometimes have to hold your fingers in, and ugh it's just so much hassle! But yesterday I got in the mood for it, and it actually went well this time! I used 2 polishes...

Teal & glitters

Heyhey! Here's a mani from the vault, made with 2 new polishes from Essence and Catrice. I couldn't really polish the glitters, instead I dabbed them on more. That was exactly what I expected from a glitter like this, but I hoped it would prove me wrong. Ah well, it gave a fun result so I don't mind putting a bit more time in the application then :)...

Oh My Glitter! with Fantasy Fire

Yes yes, shame on me for not showing Fantasy Fire before, but here it finally is! Because of the basecolor and only 1 coat of FF the unicorn pee effect wasn't that obvious, I think it got a bit shy from all the pink/purple/blue shimmer in the basecolor. Next time I'd layer it on a different color, probably a dark blue or purple creme, see if the green...

Sparkly saran clouds

I was wearing OPI What's With The Cattitude? today, and even though it's a lovely blue creme on itself, I couldn't just leave it alone! I decided to use saran wrap (plastic wrap, cling film, ...) and different shades of blue and a white to sponge my nail with. Then added a sparkly top coat, and I'm so loving the result! ♥ There's a bit more contrast...

How To: Nail photos

A while ago someone asked me to do a How To: on making nail photos, but I don't change the settings of my camera much at all. So this How To: isn't about what settings to use on your camera, or how to get the most color accurate pictures with your camera. Instead it's about the things I've learned while making pics! Some of the pictures I use in this...

Essence Swatch-a-thon #2

Hey all! The new Essence polishes that I'm showing today are 3 polishes that are very similar in finish, they're all shimmery, sparkly and with some tiny bits of flakies. But they are different, if you look up close you'll see some differences in the color and the amount of shimmer. I do wish that those flakie bits would show up better though, but...
