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 :)

MAX - Rouge with China Glaze - Stone Cold

A nail post, yay! Today I have a very fashionable and fall-proof mani for you guys :D I saw THIS post on Lucy's Stash and I absolutely loved the colour combination so I tried to change it up and bit aaaand here's my result:

close-up, no flash. 

daylight, no flash (colour accurate)

Luna-kittypic!

Mila-kittypic!

So as a base I used 2 coats of MAX - Rouge, a jelly dark red. These polishes only cost about 50 cents and the quality is great so I love these! Then I used tape to create the little triangles with China Glaze - Stone Cold from the Hungergames collection, a very pretty matt polish. After all of this had dried I used a thick layer of topcoat and voilà, all done! I love the result. It's like a half moon mani...only with a triangle! Ofcourse, it's not perfect but this is actually the first time I tried a mani created with scotch tape. Anyways, if you want to try this out and post it on your blog too, please link Lucy for the wonderfull idea :D 

Don't forget to enter my giveaway to get a chance to win OPI - Black Spotted!

China Glaze - Purr-fect Plum (+ a little gradient)

FINALLY, a nail-related post! This is one of the polishes I ordered, Purr-fect Plum from the China Glaze On Safari collection. Isn't that just the perfect name? Purr-fect? On my accent nail I did a gradient with Catrice - Welcome To Roosywood, using (ofcourse) this tutorial.

daylight, with flash. 

daylight, no flash. 

This picture is imo most colour accurate, though it's a bit darker in real life in some light. 

close-up of the gradient nail!

kittypic!

I adore Purr-fect Plum, and it looks really pretty in combination with Welcome To Roosywood. Formula was good, it needs two coats to get pretty and opaque. Drying time was...mweh. It needs quite some time to dry if you want to avoid ruining your nails. Overall, I'm liking this polish. I ordered one more from this collection, but I'm not going to swatch it for you until my nails are a bit longer because it'll look prettier!

So, what do you think..Gradients, yay or nay?

China Glaze - Stone Cold

Hello everyone! I have no idea if I am actually writing a blogpost right now or something else. Blogger changed. Blah. I might get used to it some day...maybe...I don't think so.. Anyway, on to the polish! Today I would like to show you Stone Cold, also from the Hungergames collection by China Glaze :D I used two coats and ofcourse, no topcoat.

normal light, no flash.

kittypic!

As you can see, Stone Cold is a dark grey-based matte polish with loads of silver glitter. Very pretty, but I got kind of bored with it after a while so I applied some top coat...

daylight, no flash.

another kittypic!

I think I love it eitherway.. Matte is pretty and special, but glossy is also very pretty. No, I don't really have a preference!  

Ifd you would still like to order some Colours of The Capitol polishes, they're still available on enchantra.eu :D

So, wich version do you like best, matte or glossy?

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

Luxe and Lush in Roosywood

I am worlds worst blogger. I'm so sorry. But from now on, I will be posting more often because my testweek is over, hallelujah! OH BTW OMG I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING :D Yesterday Gemma, Lisa and I went to see The Hungergameeeeees! It was so amazing, I was actually shaking the whole movie through. And yes, when Rue died, I cried. And I'm not even ashamed of it haha... So it was really frickin awesome and if you haven't seen it yet, GO DO IT YOU FOOL!
Today I have a very pretty layering combo for you, it's China Glaze - Luxe and Lush over Catrice - Welcome To Roosywood. I used two coats of Welcome To Roosywood, 1 of Luxe and Lush and 1 thick coat of topcoat.

daylight, no flash.

normal light, with flash.

kittypic!

On the kittypic you can see Luna's fluffy belly in front of her little face haha.. Did I mention this mani combines two of my favorite things? Roosywood - Rosewood - Pretty Little Liars and ofcourse The Hungergaaaaames! That is just awesome. Anyway, I love the look of this "flakie-like" topcoat. It's a bit different than normal flakies, that's what makes Luxe and Lush so interesting! WTR is a pretty dusty purple-pink and I think this layering combo looks awesome. 

What do you think? Have you seen THG?

China Glaze - Riveting

FINALLY, a blogpost! Sorry it took me so long but I'm in another testweek and I was waiting for some polishes to arrive..yayyyyy :D I got 5 of the Hungergames China Glazes and I'll be showing them to you in my upcoming posts. Today is the day it's premiering in Holland (aaaaah) and I'm going as soon I get the chance! To celebrate the premiere I painted my nails with Riveting. Nails on fireeeeee!

sunlight, 2 coats, no topcoat, no flash.

how it looks in normal light, no flash.

kittypic! 

I AM IN LOVE. It reminds me of golden glitters on FIRE! I'm pretty sure this was inspired by Katniss her fire dress, and because I'm wearing this, I actually feel like Katniss. I'm on fire!

Application was awesome, it needed two coats for opaqueness and drying time was not too bad.

I'm not going to tell you the other polishes I bought, but if you follow me on twitter you can see them because I sort of kind of tweeted a picture haha..

I'm back from Switzerland :D

Hello my lovely followers! After an amazing but exhausting week of skiing in Ovronnaz we're back home with Luna :) When I got home I discovered one hell of a thing, I almost reached the 200 followers! I currently have 195, and I'm so cloooooose omg :D 
Here are some pictures I made this week (not a lot this time, we just had so much fun I forgot to take pictures haha)

The first day there was a weird fog laying over Switzerland. It looked mysterious, I liked it.

This is the view from our apartment the first day, dark and cloudy.

And this is the view from the next day, all blue and sunny and purrrettyyyyy :D

Me and my cousin Lieke decided to paint our nails, Lieke (left) is wearing OPI - Not So Bora Bora-ing Pink and I'm (right) wearing good old China Glaze - For Audrey. 

That's really the selection of the 20 pictures I made haha like I told you, not a lot.

That's it for today, I'll post some swatches of the new Essence polishes I bought soon as well. For now, I'm going to bed. I am extremely tired haha..

Fuchsia and Endurance

Happy valentines daaaaay! My valentines day was rather boring, I didn't get anything and nothing really happened as usual. For my mani I used two polishes I got from Lucy and layered them. For the base I used Barry M - Fuchsia and it took me two coats to get it opaque:

daylight, no flash.

normal light, with flash.

In the first picture it looks at lot like a cotton-candy-pink but it's a bit more purple in real. After this, I applied 2 coats of China Glaze - Endurance, a sheer pink-glass-fleck-shimmer. 

daylight, no flash.

close-up in daylight, no flash. GLASS FLECKS!

kittypic!

Unfortunately this took ages to dry and before it could dry completely I messed it up by going to work. Yeah, sucks.. Anyway, back to when it still looked pretty. I like the glass flecks and the combination of these two, but I guess I'm just not a pink-girly-girl. I can't get used to it, it's so not me, you know?

So, did you get anything voor valentines day?
