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?

Golden Rose Scale #06 over Essence - Bella

Hi guys! Sorry for not posting in a while but I have had a busy week so I didn't get the chance to write a blogpost but I did paint them.. Yesterday I had a party to celebrate Lisa's 16th birthday (wich is today!) and I had loads of fun (happy birthday sweetie, thanks for inviting me :D). I wore a turquoise blouse and I wanted something on my nails to match them. I applied two layers of Essence - Bella, 1 of Golden Rose Scale Effect #06 and 1 layer of Essence matt topcoat. Let's look at the final result first!

So, I think it is very very veeeeeeery purretty but I don't really get why there are 3 copper flakies on my ringfinger? It's so strange, they don't colour-shift or anything they're just plain copper. Oh well, still pretty!

Here's a picture of Bella:

normal light, 2 coats, no flash.

So then I applied 1 layer of  #06 and here's a picture of it before I mattified it:

normal light, no flash.

And ofcourse then I applied the matt topcoat and here's a little other picture of that:

the kittypic ofcourse!

In bright lights the flakies turn all pink and invisible so I like it better in darker lights where all the flakies turn green, blue and prettyyyyyyyy...

So, that was it for today, I hope you like the mani and be sure to check out Lisa's blog though she's not posting very often haha love you though cutie :D♥

PS. I got a question in my last blogpost from Jossy and she asked what is my favourite nailpolish of all time and if I'm going to do the nailpolish obsession tag.

Well, my favourite nailpolish of all time is still China Glaze - For Audrey. I adore the colour, the formula, everything about it actually! And erhm sure, I could do the nailpolish obsession tag! Are there more people who want to see me do this? Let me know in the comments and maybe I'll just do it!

Golden Rose scale #10 over Catrice - Caught On The Red Carpet

Hey guys! Before I got Lucy's package, I had this manicure on my nails. Laureen and I placed an order on nailpolishfashion.nl, she ordered 2 of the Golden Rose Scale Effects and I ordered China Glaze - Crushed Candy wich I will show you later this week! The Golden Rose polishes came about 1 week before Crushed Candy and Laureen was a cutie to let me apply nr 10 before she came to pick it up :D I applied 2 layers of Caught On he Red Carpet from Catrice first, then 1 layer of Golden Rose scale effect #10  and after that I added a layer of matte topcoat. Here's the result:

Pretty, huh? Here are all the steps done while creating this mani haha..

2 coats, not completely opaque (oof that VNL, blahhh!) with flash.

kittypic!

Now, COTRC with 1 layer of #10, pretty!

Well, after this I added the soft touch topcoat by Essence and I've shown that result above! 

What are your feelings about flakies, and how many bottles of flakie-polishes do you own?

I think I like this combo, I'm just not really sure... Should I try something with scotch tape? Or stamping? 

What do you think?

PS. I'm practising for another musical again this week and I'm really excited but really tired after last week.  There was a erhhh 'celebration' at my school and I polished people their nails for an entire week! It was so much fun, lol! I painted the nails from about 60 people and earned €67  for the school. Awesome, right? :D

Manicures of this week!

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of posts these weeks, thank god it's almost my summer vacation. Unfortunately, I have another testweek coming up and I don't think I will be posting that week... Ofcourse, after that, I'm done with school (for this year.. ugh.) and can post all I want! Are you ready for some pictures?

H&M - DAZZLING JADE 

This mini polish from H&M only needs 2 coats to be opaque and the colour is just.. ♥.♥ 

Then I stamped it with the animal print stampy plate by essence with CG - Rodeo Fanatic. Love!

On to the next!

Catrice - Run Forest Run!

Lol, love the name. This is only 1 coat, because it didn't need another haha.. I just had to mattify this baby. 

Nice right? Well, I just couldn't leave it uncrackled :$

I love the complete mani! It looks like.. crocodile skin or something?

Ok, on to the last manicure of this week!

Catrice - Am I Blue Or Green? 

I know I already showed you this polish before, but it was the perfect base for this mani! Ok, I admit, it's not perfect. But it's my first rose nail art thingy, and I'm still learning... The overall effect is cute, I think!

What do you guys think of these manis?
