Nail Art || Stripes

Hello! Another manicure from days ago and I believe I have a few more coming that are from days before :P But the other week I decided I had to do more than just slap on a coat of polish and go to work. I decided it was time to get out my striping tape and get taping!

I don't know how I came up with this color combination, but I liked it. The blue looks less dark than it actually was. You could actually barely tell the difference between the black and blue. Over the black I just had to put on Fairy Dust, since it makes every manicure better. Over the pink/purple I put on Kleancolor Chunky Holo Fuchsia.

As you can see I do not really master the tape as you can see on my pinky finger. Of course I applied a layer of topcoat after the tape, but sadly the next day the tape came off :( But I had fun for as long as it lasted :P

The blue polish is a blue polish from Hema, the black is just Black from Color Club, topped with China Glaze Fairy Dust. The pink/purple is Purple Crush from Orly.

I hope you're having a great weekend and I'll see you next time! :)


Thank you for reading!

Catrice Month: I Wear My Sunglasses At Night

We're a week into this Catrice Month! Yay! :)

I'm showing you I Wear My Sunglasses At Night today. A black polish with green and red glitters in it. If you ask me; one of the unique polishes Catrice made.

It's opaque in 2 coats. Formula was great again, like usual. I felt like it got a little bit thicker than it used to be, but not super thick. The polish dries really quick and needs a top coat for some shine.

Sadly this polish got discontinued, but maybe they bring it back sometime :)

Thanks for reading :)

Day 30: Inspired By A Tutorial

* * * Check out my 150 follower giveaway! * * *

I feel like this is the last day of this long challenge. We have a day 31, yes, but I don't think that's going to happen :P I'm kinda done with it. BUT, I will do 1 more thing for this challenge though :)

But now for today; There are so many tutorials I wanna try! I came across this one by accident. I was just Google-ing(what?!) something and I saw these nails and I decided that it was going to be my inspiration for today.

It's from this photo tutorial by Chloe's Nails. She used normal tape for it, so I did too. I'm horrible at it! :P My nail polish actually got under the tape! So I did all my nails with the tape first and after that I went over it with the polish brush.

I used 2 coats of Zoya's Dana for the holographic polish I used Fashion Addict! from Color Club and Black from Color Club as well.

You should definitely check hers out, but I think you have already xD

Thanks for reading and sticking with me the past month and a few days :)

Day 29: Inspired By The Supernatural

* * * Check out my 150 follower giveaway! * * *

Today's challenge is weird... I had no idea what to do and it just doesn't seem to fit in the other 'Inspired By...' challenges. But when I think of the supernatural I think of ghosts. So here are my spooky nails! :P

From left to right, meet Awkward Ghost, Just For The Lulz Ghost, Hmm... k Ghost and Henry.

I thought flakies would look nice over them, because usually you'll only see them on black, so it looks kinda glowy ;p I only added them on the 4 gentlemen you see here, not on the black around them. This was Golden Rose Scale Effect #13.

I'm almost finished with this challenge! :D If you know some other fun nail challenges like this, let me know :)

Thanks for reading!

Day 27: Inspired By Artwork

* * * Check out my 150 follower giveaway! * * *

Hello! Today is again, really simple. I choose to do Mondrian nails, because it's simple (and I went to a college named like that). I actually wanted to do all my nails, but I didn't feel so well, so ended up with this.

I actually painted all my nails black, except for my thumb. With striping tape I made the lines and filled the blocks in with a dotting tool. Then I took the striping tape off.

My thumb has 2 coats of Catrice Blues Brother Vol. II. My index finger is just Black by Color Club. My middle finger is 1 coat of Black and 2 coats of Ruby Slippers from Color Club and my pinky is a coat of Black and 2 coats of Almost Famous, also from Color Club.

Below my inspiration picture;

Day 23: Inspired By A Movie

* * * Check out my 150 follower giveaway! * * *

I love movies, but I had no idea what to do for today. At first I wanted to go for Confessions Of A Shopaholic, but then I had to watch the movie while I wasn't really in a movie mood.

Another movie I just love is Madagascar. My dad bought me the first movie a few years ago for my birthday (I think I turned 16!) I wasn't really too happy with that; a stupid cartoon movie... But I loved it! Now that I'm 21 I can still get really excited when I see the movie :P

The penguins in the movie are too hilarious. That's why I wanted to create them on my nails. It was easier than I expected it to be and I like that I actually see penguins on my nails :P

Base coat: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat

Base color: China Glaze - Seashell

Black: Color Club - Black

White: China Glaze - Snow

Orange: Essie - Tart Deco

Top coat: Seche Vite

I hope you liked it!

Thanks for reading!

Day 22: Inspired By A Song

Check out my 150 follower giveaway!

I've been thinking so much of what song I should be inspired by. I listen to so much music, but I couldn't pick anything where I though I could make something with. I decided to watch video clips instead and I got inspired!

I doubt you can tell what video I choose, but I picked Jessie J's Domino. The video is really nice and I saw some things that I wanted to do something with.

This picture is inspired from the part where Jessie sits on this zebra print chair and she wears this gorgeous butterfly mask!

My index finger is inspired by a jacket she wears in the video. It's a blue and green gradient with leopard print and something printed in yellow. I decided to just put the yellow with the gradient as well.

My middle finger is from where she wears this pink suit kind of thing full with with things. I don't know what they were, so I just stamped clouds on my nail :P

My ring finger is inspired by the wall where she dances in a white 'I-don't-know-what-to-call-it'. The wall is actually greenish, but I already had a green nail.

My pink is inspired by the very beginning. Also the wall, with these circles in circles going in circles ;p

Overall I'm kind of proud of my little creation. Especially because I'm not that creative :P I hope you like it too! :)

Day 18: Half Moons

Check out my 150 follower giveaway!

Maybe it's better for all of us to just skip this post :P This challenge helped some people to get better with the nail art and all, but I think I'm getting worse by the day!

I've never done half moons before and I used those half moon sticker things, but they didn't do what they were supposed to do. It was more straight then a nice curve, so I had to give it more of a half moon shape with the brush of the polish. That didn't work out too well either, but at least I tried :)

But, in real life this manicure actually looks nicer than the picture I have to say. I really like the combination of pink with glitter and black. And yes, the pink with glitter is from yesterday's manicure :P

That's all for today!

Thanks for reading :)

Day 15: Tribal Print

Check out my 150 follower giveaway!

I switched day 15 and 16. Today was supposed to be 'Delicate print', but I accidentally went to day 16. But that doesn't matter. I'm doing what I was supposed to do today, tomorrow OR I'll take a little break and continue in a few days. These sentences sound really confusing to me right now ;p

My tribal nails turned out really sad and not as epic as how it looks on other people. I do like the ones on my ring and pinky finger though. Of course I worked with striping tape again, because I don't really have nice brushes ;p

I started off with a base coat and then painted all of my nails black with the color Black from Color Club. Then I used striping tape for the shapes and stripes. Then I used different colors from different brands, just ask if you want to know a specific color, and I filled everything with a dotting tool. Again, I didn't use a topcoat afterwards. The reason I don't do that is because when I use a topcoat everything starts to smudge. Doesn't matter what topcoat I use or how long I leave my nails to dry. For the pictures I don't like smudgy, smudge smudge xD

Please leave a comment and thanks for reading!

Day 7: Black & White Nails

Check out my 150 follower giveaway!

I'm just in time today to post these Black & White nails. For some reason I found it really hard to think of something. I tried so many things and it just didn't look good. Now it's almost midnight, so I just did something simple. I'm not wearing the manicures I post because I'm going 'naked' for a while.

In real life the white nails actually look like they have a green layer over them. Which they actually have, because of the topcoat I used :P

Short post, but I hope to make it up tomorrow :)

Color Club - Revvvolution

After my swatch of Worth The Risque (no holo :( ) I wanted to go for a Color Club polish that IS holographic. I still don't know if there are 'failed' bottles from some polishes, but it's not the worst thing on this world, right?

Revvvolution is not like rainbow holographic, but more orange/yellow, green, blue. Maybe it just looks like that because the polish is black. Nevertheless the holo is very visible in real life and it's just gorgeous!

I'm not sure yet if I'm posting everyday the upcoming days, because I have to work from like 8 to 7, so I'm probably dead by the end of the day :P

Also, I wanted to know if I should do my posts in 2 languages (English and Dutch) I'm not sure myself yet, but please fill in my survey on the side :)

Frankenpolish - Underground Candy Shop

So, I was bored today and finally started with something I've wanted to do for so long... Franken! I did it once before, but I never was happy with that one.

I called this one Underground Candy Shop. That was the first thing that popped up in my head :P On all pictures it looks like it's a black based polish, but it's actually like a smokey deep, deep, deep, deep grey/purple/pink I guess. That's because I put in red and pink eyeshadow.

Some bottle shots...

Ingredients:
- Miss Sporty Glossy Tech'
- Red eyeshadow
- Pink eyeshadow
- ELF Black nail polish
- Golden Rose Scale Effect 04
- Golden Rose Scale Effect 09
- China Glaze Fairy Dust
- Color Club Candy Cane
- Wet 'n Wild Back Alley Deals
- Wet 'n Wild Rockin' Rubies

I don't know how much of everything I threw in the bottle to be honest. I did need to add a topcoat over it, because otherwise it didn't look as glittery and shiny. I used 'David' topcoat and I love the shine that it gives over a manicure.

So, what do you think of my Frankenpolish? Is that actually how you call it? xD

Sinful Colors - What's Your Name?

You may have noticed I didn't do anything nail art related when I started this blog. Not that I did do much of it on LimitedAddictionNails, but I can't wait to start stamping again! The reason of it is I got acrylics almost 2 weeks ago and because I use a lot of aceton, they're pretty much getting uglier by the day. So as soon as they are gone, or when my nails look more appropriate I start stamping again :)

A week ago I made swatches of this gorgeous polish that I wore right after I got it. A while back I did a swap with Iris from Polish Amor. One of the polishes I got was Sinful Colors' What's Your Name? It was on my wishlist, so I'm happy she got it for me.

What's Your Name? is a sheer black based polish full with blue/green glitters that turn purple in some angles. The purple is actually not noticeable, unless you keep it close to a light bulb and place the bottle in different angles. This is not too disappointing to me, because I didn't even know about the duochrome glitters :P

On MUA I read that you can hardly see the glitters, but I do notice the glitters in real life. Maybe it's just how you look at it. I have nothing like this and I love this polish!

Thanks for reading!
