Gradient || Orange To Pink

By accident I just found this gradient I did months ago! June 15th to be exact :P The only thing I remember from this manicure is that I was really proud of it and I wore it for days!


To be honest I have no idea what polishes I used... Looking at the spilled polish on the bottle I think this is Sugar High...

I wanted to see this gradient in a matte version and really liked that too. I have no idea what topcoat I used, but there are a lot of topcoats with this finish :)


I hope you liked my first real post after this long :)

With A Flakie On Top

Todays manicure is something I really love! Easy and simple, but looking pretty nice. 2 weeks ago I wore Color Club's Warhol, a bright neon that looks so amazing in the sun. I put a green flakie on it and mattified it and I was in love! I tried to capture it on my camera, but it never worked out... A week later again I tried the same, but it just didn't happen.


Yesterday I just grabbed a random polish (just because it's kind of weird for me to stare at my polishes for 30 minutes, pick something and then decided it's not what I want). As my base color I'm wearing Miss Sporty's number 328 from the Clubbing Colours. Somebody please tell me where I can find the names for these polishes! Over that a Golden Rose flakie in number 09.




Just like the combination of Warhol and flakie I wanted this one matte too. It looks really different than when it's shiny, but I don't know how to explain that. I used ELF's matte topcoat for it.

I really like the look of the topcoat, because it's not a shiny matte, but I just looked at my nails and noticed that it's not matte anymore, while a few hours ago it still was matte. So it stayed matte for like 20 hours or something.



I'm sorry for the picture spam, but believe me; I had so much more! xD

Thanks for reading!

Fake The Splatter!

Hi! Can I say that I'm really ready for the weekend? I just need it! ;p Today I'm gonna show you the manicure I wore yesterday.


I painted my nails with 1 coat of Who Are Blue from Catrice. Over that I stamped with Color Club Wild At Heart and I used image plate m70 from Konad. I really think that the image looks like some paint splatter or just something random with a brush and paint xD

Then, to add more holo, I added a coat of Fairy Dust. Because, you know... Fairy Dust makes everything better :)


I hope to show you the manicure that I just made tomorrow, because I'm in love with it! xD

Thanks for reading!

China Glaze - Sun Worshiper


Hello! I hope you all have a great day! Today I'm showing you another swatch from the polishes Jenn got me. This is China Glaze's Sun Worshiper. This one was on my wishlist too, because I thought I might need it someday for something :P On the pictures I'm also wearing a coat of Finger Paints Flashy.

Sun Worshiper, from the Poolside collection, is a bright neon orange/yellow polish. It dries matte and pretty streaky, but with a topcoat you don't see that. I used 3 coats for opacity and I tell you; this was so hard to capture with my camera! But the picture above is almost color accurate.

I think Sun Worshiper is a pretty unique polish and when you have it on your nails it's really out there! It almost looks like it's giving light or something. I think that looks really cool!

Do you have Sun Worshiper or would you ever wear a color like it? Let me know :)

Catrice feMALE LE; Swatches


Hello! Today I'm showing you a new LE collection from Catrice. This is the feMALE collection. The collection is focusing on the male dandy look versus feminine elegance.

This first one is A Woman's World. The pictures are far from accurate, but it's a nice coral orange polish. This one is close to Catrice's I Scream Peach!, but a little lighter in color.



Next we have Nude. A brown beige polish. This one was opaque in just 1 coat! I like the shiny version much better than it's own finish. The matte finish makes the polish look a bit dull...



My favorite from the 4; Who Are Blue. A lovely blurple polish. I think that's my first blurple polish. I like both the matte finish and the shiny topcoat finish. This one is similar to the Essence Colour & Go Absolutely Blue, but that one has a shiny finish. 1 coat is okay, but 2 coats is better.



Last but not least we have So Suit! A smokey grey polish. It looks lighter in the bottle than on the nails. Compared to the other 3 this one dries more shiny matte. I don't really like this one, but that's just the season; I'll probably love this one in the Winter.


All the pictures with the original finish were taking approximately 2 minutes after I applied a polish. The shiny version were taken probably right after I applied the topcoat.

I like the collection, but it's not that special. My favorite is Who Are Blue? I don't think Catrice ever had one like it in their standard collection, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Which one is your favorite? :)

Thanks for reading!

Day 16: Delicate Print




Hello! Today I have the 'forgotten' delicate print. Maybe a bit too delicate :P Today I had some nail horror going on on both my hands, so that's why my index finger is not going to be showed for probably a week xD

I started, of course, with a basecoat. Today I used Trind's Nail Repair. I think you can all see what polish I used, but if not; It's the GORGEOUS Wild At Heart from Color Club. For my matte topcoat I used GOSH Matt Effect Topcoat. Then I stamped with Wild At Heart and I used image plate SdP-47.

The reason why I did nothing with my middle finger is because the matte topcoat takes a long time to dry and something invisible would just keep making bumps and smudges on my nail! I re-did my nail 3 times and then I just decided to leave it like this ;p

Thanks for reading!

Day 8: Metallic Nails


For today we have some metallic nails. I have to say I hate metallic polishes. The finish is something that's just not my thing. Recently I saw this post from The Polished Perfectionist. Since I now wanted to try something metallic matte, I did it for today. And I love the way this polish looks matte. This is the new version of Let's Mauve On! from Catrice.

I decided to stamp over it with an image from Konad image plate m65. I don't really like this combination, but I guess it's okay. I think I might Let's Mauve On! more often now.


Tomorrow we have rainbow nails and I hope I can make it look just like I did on my old blog :)

Day 3: Yellow Nails


I have never worn yellow polish. While I had this on my nails I didn't really know what to think about it. The color looks nice, but not on me. My fingers looked even more fat and yellow! :P This is Almost Famous from Color Club added with a matte topcoat from Miss Sporty.

For summer I think I might wear this one. I find this color kinda funny today, since it started snowing here today. And of course today I forgot my gloves. When I went home from work I almost felt with my scooter a few times, my hands almost froze off and when I came home and they started warming up they were hurting like hell! I almost cry and I hardly cry xD

So this is it for today :) I hope to see you back tomorrow!
