Happy Queensday!

Yaaaaay it's queensday in Holland again! Everyone dressed in orange, wearing orange nailpolish, selling their old stuff and eating an orange tompouce. That's right, a tompouce. I'll be sure to get back to the tompouce at the end of this post :D

So for my Queensday mani I applied 3 layers of Essence - WAKE UP! and on my ringfinger I applied one thin coat of Golden Rose Scale Effect - #10 :)

here's a better picture of the flakies. purrretty!

Nothing really special but I liked the look of the flakies! It take an age to dry though, blah.

Anyway, back to the tompouce, or as we dutchies like to call it: tompoes. To everyone non-dutch who's reading this. If you ever visit Holland on Queensday, you HAVE TO eat one of these. Just look at them. This is the one I ate just 10 minutes ago: 

Nomnomnomnom!

So, what colour are you wearing for Queensday?

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.

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..

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.

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?

Happy Queensday dutchies!

Hello lovely readers, today is Queensday here in Holland so that means lots of orange, red, white and blue! Since I don't own the perfect orange, I borrowed MAN, GO Tango (Catrice) from my friend Celine (thanks cutie!)

2 coats, little VNL but it's ok! normal light.

Then I saw this awesome QDAY mani on http://dutch-diana.blogspot.com/2011/04/queensday-nails-from-2010-2009.html (go check out her blog, her nails are GORGEOUS) and I just had to try it out. Didn't really work out the way I wanted it to, but it looks cute... Have fun breaking your neck haha!

What did you do this queensday?
