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:

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

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.

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?

Nail Colour Marionnaud - Stone Grey

My mom and sister got this nailpolish for me when they went to an international gymnastics competition in the Czech Republic (?) and it's from a brand named Marionnaud. I used two coats for this blue/purple/grey polish. It's a true blurpley. Hihi! Allright, let's look at the pictures :D

daylight, no flash.

normal light, with flash. 

kittypic!

I think the first picture is the most colour accurate, and most of the time this polish looks blue but when it gets a bit darker it turns into a dark grey with a purple undertone. I like it! It's quite neutral and it matches my clothes today haha :) Btw, do you remember the picture I showed you last post, with the fresh snow? Here's what it looks like now..

All those kittyfootsteps, wow! Haha our garden is very popular for all the cats in our neighbourhood. You know, just to hang out and stuff. Lol. I mean, they even walk across the trampoline? Weird kitties. 

I have some other news to share with you guys, I won a giveaway! DeltaCephei had her amazing DC's Dazzling Days again and I won a LUSH snowfairy lip tint. I'm very happy and I can't wait to get it and try it. Thanks Suzanne! Be sure to check out her blog on http://deltacephei.nl/

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?

Moustache Mani Monday!

Hey guys! I saw this post (http://www.thetracefacephiles.com/2011/11/moustache-mani-monday.html) and knew I just had to do it :D I used Essence - Can't Cheat On Me as the basecolour and then added moustaches with MAX - Black..

kittypic! 

So.. I kinda failed making the moustaches but well, it still looks quite cute right? :D I'll also send this picture to Traci so she can post it next monday!

Here are two pictures of Essence - Can't Cheat On Me without the moustaches.. It took me 3 coats to get this polish opaque.

in shadow, with flash.

Prettyyyyyy! Such a shame it has been discontinued..

Will you grow a moustache this Movember?

Catrice - New York (Big City Life LE)

Last week I went to our local drugstore and noticed they had the Catrice Big City Life LE! Except for the palettes, wich I was pretty bummed about because I wanted to buy the Berlin palette. Anyway, I only bought one nailpolish, New York. It's a blue-ish grey polish and very pretty! For these pictures I applied 2 coats and no topcoat. 

just a quick bottle pic, isn't it ADORABLE?

kittypic!

I tried to KONAD it with a light silver and the flower pattern from M61 but it didn't really show up.. Here's a paw-pic to show you how it looked (with flash).

Isn't that last picture cute? I love it <3 

Application was good, but was it me or are the brushes of the nailpolishes different from the normal Catrice polishes? 

Edit: I just checked, the brush is definitely different. It's a lot more short and thin than the normal ones! It didn't make the application amazing, but it wasn't awfull or anything. 

Do you own any of the Catrice Big City Life LE polishes?
