Alpha Better Hologram

A big welcome to all of my new followers that found me through girlscene or my giveaway, thanks for following me! Today I have a very pretty layering mani for you guys. I showed you this polish a little while ago and since everyone really liked it I decided to swatch my other Shaka polish (Hologram Nude) as well. Because these holos are not very opaque I decided to layer it over two coats of Essence - Alpha Better Gamma (wich i'll show in the end of this post). Here's the final look!

I love holographics. This is just a perfect pretty pinky polish. In normal light only a little bit of the holographic rainbow is visible, but in sunlight...wow! Such a pretty effect. 

So what I did was apply two layers of Shaka - Hologram Nude over two layers of Essence - Alpha Better Gamma from the Class of 2013 LE. Here's a picture of that one on it's own:

ABG is a very cute salmony pink, really girly! When I saw this one at the store I immediately knew I wanted it because I don't have any polishes like this one and erhm well I'm an addict..woops. Anyways, I really like the colour of this polish because it's just sooo cuuuute :D

Don't forget to enter my giveaway, just 3 days left to enter!

Fly the Hologram Sky

Hello everyone! In my last post I showed you the polishes I bought in Italy, and today I made a little combo with two of them. First I applied 3 coats of Deborah Milano - Fly High, then 2 coats of Shaka - Hologram Sky.

Isn't that amazing? The holographic effect is soooo bright, but ofcourse not quite a bright as GOSH - Holographic! I am loving this combo.

Here's a little pic of Fly High on it's own:

This combo worked out great imo, the colours work perfect together. Shaka - Hologram Sky is really sheer and not that holographic when you apply it over your nude nails, but with a bright basecolour..KABOOM!

Today I found the new Essence bottles in my local drugstore and bought 2 of them, I simply couldn't resist buying these:

06 cookies & cream (from the nude glam collection) and 120 cookie love (colour & go)

See how I stayed in the cookietheme there? LOL!

I'm back from Italy! (Warning: loads of pictures)

Hello everyoneeee! Friday night we got home from our summervacation to Italy, and I'm so happy we're home again :) I missed the kitties soooo much... They've grown a lot over the past 3 weeks, but ofcourse they're still little kittens and reaaaally cute. Here are some pictures:

"whut?"

nawwww!

So, on to my vacation pictures!

First we went to Milan...

Duomo Santa Maria Nascente!

this is a sign we saw in a little bakery where we had some delicious cupcakes. Cute, right?

Then we went to Piano Di Mommio, a little village near Viareggio. This was our campsite:

our two tents!

the swimming pool ♥ 

me and my cousins nails. I had Better Late Than Never by Essence on my nails and I painted her nails with Herôme - New Delhi!

Here are the pictures I made that week:

Torre Del Lago Puccini

pretty flowers!

hahahaha!

the Tower of Pisa

Duomo Di San Martino in Lucca

me and my little sister in Lucca

this is the Giotto Bell Tower we climbed in Florence/Firenze, and this was the view:

purrretty huh? 

streetartists in Florence

my cousins, me and my sister dressed for dinner :)

The last week we went to Elba, an island near the coast of Italy. Elba is gorgeous! 

Capo Bianco, near Portoferraio

I don't know where this is on Elba..but it is pretty!

Marina Di Campo, where we stayed on a campsite that week. 

on a banana boat with other dutch people!

the group of friends we made that week :D

It was so great! Elba is soooo pretty, we snorkeled a lot and I had a lot of fun. Ofcourse we also shopped a lot in Italy...and I couldn't resist buying these 7 polishes:

Kiko 389 Mint Milk and 360 Strawberry Red

I'm not sure if the left one is Mint Milk, because the number is swept away or something...

this is a really cheap golden glitter polish I bought on a market in Pisa

Deborah - Fly High and Deborah - Good Luck Green

holographiiiiiiics! Shaka - Hologram Nude and Shaka - Hologram Sky

I am so happy I found those last polishes in a store called OVS/oviesse, they were only 2 euros :o

I bought one more polish, but that is still a surprise... Ofcourse I also bought some clothing, but I don't have any pictures of that to show you, sorry!

How was your summervacation?
