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 :)

Essence new polishes: Cookie Love + Nude Glam Cookies & Cream

Hey everyooone! Today I will be showing you two Essence polishes from their new collection. Both named something with cookie! Let's begin with Cookie Love from the Colour & Go collection. I used two coats and no topcoat.
indirect sunlight, no flash. 

daylight, no sun, no flash.

close-up from the bottle..isn't that purrrretty? 


kittypics!

Cookie Love is a gorgeous brown polish with small golden glitters and some golden flakies :D The flakies are not that visible on your nails, but when you look really closely you'll see some. Formula was great on this one, applying was good and drying time was only 10 minutes. 

So here's the next one, Cookies & Cream from the Nude Glam collection. I used 3 coats and one layer of topcoat. 
shade, no flash.

indirect sunlight, no flash. 

outside, sunlight, no flash! (most colour accurate)

close-up, shimmers!


more kittypics!

The colour is pretty much the same as Hazelnut Cream Pie, but HCP has that Chanel - Paradoxal purple shimmer and C&C has golden and silver shimmer. I didn't particularly like the formula on this one, I had to apply 3 coats and a topcoat because it tends to get a little bubbly. 

Wich one do you like better, Hazelnut Cream Pie or Cookies & Cream?

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..

Greenhouse Glitter Just Messed With OPI

Hey guys! Still nothing about Simba, sorry.. We really miss him, but you never know, he could walk in in 2 days, 3 weeks, a year even, or maybe never again. But I don't want to think like that, so I'm not going to. Today I have a layered mani for you, It's SpaRitual - Greenhouse Glitter over OPI - Don't Mess With OPI, wich I both got from Lucy! I used 2 coats of Don't Mess With OPI and 1 layer of Greenhouse Glitter. Here's the final result:
normal light, no flash.

I'd consider these nails..WICKED!
Haha, here's a picture of DMWO:

So then I added one layer of Greenhouse Glitter, tadaaa!

sunlight, no flash.

close-up in sun, no flash. 

Look at those lightgreen golden shimmer/flecks!

So, that's all for today. Monday I have to go back to school (yuk!) and normal life will start again. I really enjoyed this vacation and I hope it's december again soon, because I love december! And I hope my order from nailpolishfashion.nl will be arriving soon too :D I'm not going to tell you everything I ordered, but I'll show you when the package arrives!

Today I would like to present you to... Irreplaceable! It's a beige-based nailpolish with gorgeous golden shimmery-glitter-flecks. Just absolutely stunning.

I love it. It applied great, was opaque in just 2 coats and it looks amazing.. Drying time? Erhhh.. 5 minutes! Price? €1,29. Now that's what I'm talking about. You can wear this with everything and it doesn't cost much. Why am I talking like I'm in a commercial..? I don't know haha I'm sorry!

S-he #466

Hellooooo! My little sister had a gymnastics competition in the Czech Republic (?) last year and when she got back she gave me this beautiful nailpolish from a brand called S-he. I got number 466, a gray/green colour with a subtile (but pretty) shimmer in it. On to the pics!
