Amethyst Fiji

Well hello there! I am in a very good mood becauuuuuuse it was my birthday the 27th, and I'm finally 16 now :D Yaaaaaaaay! On to the nail-related-part of this post. For my New Year's nails I used two layers of Essie - Fiji and after that dried I applied some Barry M - Amethyst glitter gradient on my accent nail :)

Luna-kittypic!

I am absolutely in loooove with this mani, it's so cute and the glitters reminds me of fireworks.. Fiji is a very pale pink that tends to look kind of white sometimes. I really like the way these polishes look together and I think I might apply the glitter to all of my nails. Should I? Leave me your thoughts in the comments!

Still alive! Random little post + Kitty Update #10

Wow....I'm sorry I haven't posted in such a long time but I have been so extremely busy with school and friends and musical-thingies! Anyway, I'm not going to dedicate an entire post to apologizing and explaining why, but I'm just going to do a little post with some recent swatches and a short kitty update. Let's begin :)

GOSH - Lambada. 3 coats, no topcoat. 

Sem-kittypic!

Catrice - No Snow Patrol & Mila-kittypic!

Essence Breaking Dawn Part II - Jacob's Protection

 

Luna-kittypic!

cheeky little stash-pic!

I haven't really been wearing loads of different nailpolishes lately (simply because I didn't really have a lot of time) but these are the ones I did wear and made pictures of. On to the kitty update :D

The kittycats are doing great. They've gotten really big! But not yet as big as Luna ofcourse haha... Here are some pictures!

Mila ♥

Sem :D

Luna <3

I love this picture, lol. 

Luna is getting along a lot better with the kitties. Sem is always testing his boundaries and playing with Luna. Mila usually just avoids her but is definitely not afraid of her...whenever Luna tries to eat her food she just pushes her away and protects her food. 

I'm really going to try to post something every week again but I'm not promising anything. Have a great week!

Top 5 Fall Favorite Nailpolishes!

Hello everyooone! I actually planned on doing an actual nailpost today but because of my work all my nails broke and they're really short at the moment :( So I figured I'd do a little Fall Favorites nailpolish edition for you guys! Let's go :)

Let's start off with number 5, Herôme - Kingston.

Kingston is a goldenbeige/champagne holographic polish that matches all of the fall 2012 fashion! Pictures HERE. 

Next up, number 4, Catrice - Caught On The Red Carpet.

COTRC is a dark jelly red, suitable for honestly any season of the year and I really like it (that's also why half of my bottle is empty). Pictures HERE. 

Number 3, Essence - Walk On The Wild Side.

WOTWS is a dark green polish with tiny little green shimmers. Very pretty! I actually haven't had the chance to swatch this yet, but I'm excited about trying this one out :D

Almost there! Number 2, China Glaze - Smoke And Ashes

Smoke And Ashes is a GORGEOUS polish from the CG Hungergames collection and I absolutely adore this polish! It looks like a starry night in summer. A black base with duochrome little shimmers shifting from blue to turquoise to green. Amazing. Pictures HERE. 

Number 1...drumroll, please...China Glaze - Purr-fect Plum!

I do not only like Purr-fect Plum because of its purr-fect name, but also very very much because of the purr-fect colour! This colour screams fall 2012 to me. Walk around my school for just 10 minutes and you will see this colour in sooo many outfits, it's crazy. This wine-purple coloured polish should be in everyone's stash this fall! Purr-fect Plum is from the CG On Safari collection :) Pictures HERE. 

While I was making these pictures Luna decided to join me, here are some pictures :D

she looks so mad, lol!

pawsy pic <3

That was it, ofcourse I have many many many more fall favorites but I just wanted to show you these five. Tell me, do you like these kind of posts? What would you like to see on my blog? Let me know in the comments :)

China Glaze - Smoke and Ashes

A big hello to all my lovely followers out there! Today I'm going to show you my swatches of Smoke and Ashes from the Hungergames collection by China Glaze. This was one of the polishes I immediately knew I wanted so as you can imagine I was reaaaally excited to try it. I used 2 coats of Smoke and Ashes and 1 layer of topcoat. Allright, here we go!

daylight, no flash.

daylight, with flash.

Pretty amazing huh? It reminds me of a very starry and pretty night! Here's a bottlepic, that is even prettier:

licky-kittypic!

So I'm really happy with the look of this polish, though I would've really wanted to see more of that duochrome glitter that is visible in the bottle but not on the nails. It's a nice colour but I think I'll wear this more often as soon as fall begins, because I LOVE bright and happy colours in spring and summer :D

Catrice Million Styles - Return Of Space Cowboys

Hello cuties! Today I rushed my butt to the Kruidvat to get some of the Million Styles polishes from Catrice, and found the two I wanted :D I got Shake It! Flake It! and Return Of Space Cowboys, wich I will be showing you today. It's a duochrome turquoise glitter and I applied 1 coat over my favourite black, MAX - Black.

normal daylight, not too sunny (as usual), no flash.

a bit moven, sorry, with flash.

kittypic! purrrr...

I LOVE THIS. It's all pretty and blue and duochrome and wiiiiiiii! The base is a dark gray jelly and it contains silver and blue glass flecks. Isn't that amazing? Drying time wasn't amazing but it wasn't too bad.. We'll see about the removal with this one, I hope I'll be able to get it all off haha!

So, what do you think? Do you own any of the Million Styles topcoats?

Color Club - Revvvolution

Ever since I first saw pictures of Revvvolution, I wanted to have it. And now I dooooo! I only had to apply 1 coat for it to be opaque and it applied like a dream :D It's such a pretty holo, I mean, just look at this:

sunlight, no flash.

more sunlight! no flash.

normal light, no flash.

gorgeous bottle pic in sunlight, bwaaaah ♥.♥

kittypic!

I think it's really purrretty, but after 1 day the tipwear is kinda bad, look at that kittypic. Oh well, it's pretty anyway! Ofcourse, in sunlight it looks absolutely amazing, but it's still a pretty polish in normal light, without the holo. So, do you guys own Revvvolution? What do you think?

Crushed Luxury

Hello lovely ladies, before I start talking about my nails, I would love for you all to take the time to vote for Lucy in the glossybox contest! Just click this link: http://fb.me/1gCbmyBRx and "Like" the picture on facebook :D Lucy, I really hope you win this contest, yours is BY FAR the best!

Now, on to my nails of the week! In the package I received from Lucy I found Color Club - Untamed Luxury, a green/tealish glitter. Then, on friday, my order from nailpolishfashion arrived! I ordered China Glaze - Crushed Candy (wich is kind of the crackle version of my favourite nailpolish ever, For Audrey!) and decided to combine these two. The result? Crushed Luxury...

normal light, no flash. PLEASE, don't look at my dry, ugly hands :o

I ♥ this! First I applied 1 layer of Untamed Luxury over my favourite black of all time, MAX black...

normal light, with flash.

artificial light, no flash. I made this picture to show you how the colour pretty much looks in just normal daylight!

kittypic!

Before I could apply Crushed Candy I had to apply 2 layers of topcoat to make this finish less gritty lol.. But, after that completely dried, I finally applied Crushed Candy :D

artificial light, no flash.

close-up of my middle finger, normal light and no flash. (such a high ISO, sorry about that..) 

kittypic!

Yes. I adore this. 

Do you like this layering combo?

Galaxy nail art tutorial - my first video!

I feel sooooo bad for not posting in such a long time but I made a video of my galaxy nails, but the editing took me ages.. Note to self: Windows Movie Maker sucks. Find a new program. 
But finally, it's done! My first youtube-tutorial-video :D

It didn't really turn out as good as I wanted it to, I should have left more black open but I think the result looks kind of cool!

normal light, no flash.

kittypic!

So what do you think, should I do more tutorials?

Catrice - Bye, Bye Birdie!

Well hello there :D I really liked Bye, Bye Birdy last time I put it on but it went on a bit streaky and bubbly so I didn't make any pictures, but this time I did! So here are the pictures :D

normal light, no flash.

in sunlight, no flash

kittypic!

Did you know Bye, Bye Birdie has a bit of a shimmer? Here's a close-up!

How pretty :D

Do you remember this post? I really liked the combo so uhmmm.. Birdy got crackled, again!

normal light, no flash.

another kittypic!

I really like the colour, it's just such a shame the application isn't as amazing as the colour is.. The crackle is a bit different from last time but I like it! Less stripy :D

How do you feel about yellow nailpolish?

PS. This is my last day of summer vacation. Tommorow, I have to go to that building full of fun people and teachers (D:) again. To be honest, I'm not really looking forward to it...

PPS. This was my last post with long nails in a little while. I cut them short today because they were weak and  the layers were splitting. I bought some new treatment-stuff and I hope they'll work soon so I'll have beautiful , long and healthy nails!
