Here's one of the new Essence polishes that I couldn't resist when I saw it in the stores!

Catrice Call Me Princess + a little stamping

Call Me Princess is one of the new Catrice Crushed Crystals polishes, and oh my, it's a pretty for sure! It's one of those that you should see for yourself really, it's so rich and beautiful ♥ The texture in it isn't very rough, and the shimmer makes the textured effect less visible as well, but it's still very clearly a textured polish. It took 3...

Essence The Incredible

Beautiful color? Check. Gorgeous shimmer? Check. Weird sand-like stuff in it? Check! Ahh I had such high hopes for this polish when I saw it in the bottle, but yet again it's an Essence sand effect polish that disappointed me.

Textured spikes

Last night I couldn't sleep, and as happens more often then, I was thinking about nail designs. Often my nightly ideas become a huge fail when I try them, and they end up on the ideas list for some other time. This time I came up with this bold, textured mani, and for a change, it turned out ok! Lining it all up turned out to be quite tricky with the...

Catrice Luxury Lacquers - Preview

Omg you guys!!

It came with blue protective foil on front ánd back, it removed easily from both sides.

Here's a mani I did a few months ago, it's one of those that's simple and subtle, nothing special but it does the trick :)Essie Splash of Grenadine with H&M Sinful Señorita and Bundle Monster 322.Even though I like swatches on longer nails like I had here, I think I prefer slightly shorter ones on me! Which is good, because that's all...
