For Jette, and the rest of you sweeties ;)

Specially for Jette...and all my other readers ofc, 2 of CND effect polishes which have been part of my stash for quite some time now but don`t get used that often. Sparkle effect Raspberry and Jade( I also own Tael, but I swatched it before )

I`ve used 4 colors of polish on both hands, 2 layers, and then added Raspberry to my left hand and Jade to my right hand. After some photos I thought it would be fun to show you what a matte tc would do as well...cause I lub it a lot!

Green = OPI - Jade is the New Black, purple/taupe = OPI - Planks a Lot, black = Nfu Oh - 132 and grey/creme = OPI - Skull & Glossbones.

For mattefying effect I`ve added a layer of China Glaze - Matte Magic

I loooove this kind of effect on polishes. You can combine it with so many other colors and brands. You truely create something new, so I can`t tell you which is my favorite either. I only know it works perfect, glides on great, dries medium/fast...I do always end up using a fast drying topcoat and it`s way easier to clean off then glitters ..tha horrorrr!!!  Hmm I haven't tried using them both together over a color yet...wonder what that would look like :)

P2 haul :)

Last monday I went to Kleve, Germany, which is about 45 minutes drive from where I live. I sometimes go there by myself, but most of the times with a friend. When I was growing up, my parents went there as well, so I`ve been there loooadss of times now. The reason we go there is food shopping and make-up/body products. They have such different products available there and most prices are lower then "ours". For instance, baking products for pies and cakes, waaaayyy more different items available. Cake flavours, toppings, fillings etc etc.

Anyway...we also went to the drugstore called DM and I did some major P2 shopping :) They finally had P2`s cotton gloves, they`re always sold out when I go to the store :S , can use those when you have some nice cremes on and want to leave them on during the night. I bought their Quick Dry Spray as well, wanted to try it out, haven`t heard anyone about it yet. And ofc I "needed"  some color polishes as well ;)

*191 gigantic, a rich creme blue
* 248 rich,a deep purple with shimmers
* 249 dangerous, a teal creme
* 208 rich& royal, a taupe...perhaps mauve..nice color :)
* 207 stormy, a nudy beige with tiny shimmer
* matte topcoat

I`ll try to make some photo`s of these colors as well soon :)

Zoya Posh/mat

At first I was like O_o ooehh...but now I`m like wow!!!

I think i had to get used to the color, I`m not very good with reds, I smear it all over my fingernails and hands or work it in such a way you`ve never seen such streaky nails, but this one...I love! We once had a red wall, was in our appartement and we had to redo the stupid paint for about 7 times!!! I think that`s where my original fear for reds came from :) But after applying even 1 coat of this polish I thought; this could be my missing red! I applyed a second coat just to finish it up and make it look perfect, casue it does to me. I must say I`m very happy with the result, it`s defo a stayer in my little Helmet!

I wonder what this color would look like with a little Konad action and!! how long will this red beauty last since I can`t really use a topcoat casue it`s a matte...hmm....we`ll see!

My Orly mattes :)

In these photos I`m trying out my Orly mattes. I used China Glaze- strong adhesive base-coat first. Dried up very smoothly and fast. Then I applyed the dark/black Iron Butterfly and the purple Purple Velvet. I`ve never used a matte before, I did have China Glaze matte top-coat and HEMA`s topcoat as well, so I was wondering how to handle this kind of polish. Both of em dried up very fast after applying, so it wasn`t possible to recover any small mistakes. Had to make fast streaks and apply a 2nd layer after 5 minutes. Polishes/brands themselves I would recommend to anyone. The colors are quite heavy, but since they`re matte and the blackish one has shimmers in it and the fact my nails are tiny atm....it gives a soft character to the whole. So even though I picked these colors by watching swatches and reading comments of others, I don`t regret picking these 2 :)

OOoeeehhh....

What`s all this mess!!! Lola's taking a look as well...

Actually the mailman came by today...yippieee :) And he brought me gifts from Hawaii (the ebay-seller) and Head2Toe.

All the polishes I want and ordered arrived safe and sound, nothing broken.( order )  Delivery was very fast, ebayer and shop were very reliable.

Will show some photo's/swatches soon.....if any has a request just let me know!

China Glaze

Ink, It`s not black, and it's not blue. But I do like it. I still must learn how to use it as my streaks are way to thick still, but we're getting there ;)

Matte Magic,  This is actually my second bottle of Matte polish. I already ordered this one and was waiting till it arrived when I saw a bottle at one of our dutch shops for about 2 euro's and since I couldn't wait...I bought it as well and tried it out. In the end I do Like this brand better though. I like the idea of transforming a nailpolish into something completly different. or even a complete different mani, like some use Matte with the Konad-set as well.
