Piñata Pink - a purrrpolish franken

Hello everyooone! Today the weather has been amazing, the sun has been shining like crazy and it's really warm outside. Padapapapa...I'm loving it. To celeberate I decided to make a new franken, and because it has been a while since my last one. I can't really remember what colours I used but I know it was a lot of dark red, pink and white. I applied it to all my nails accept one accent nail and on that one I applied 3 coats of Catrice - Bye, Bye Birdy!

two kittypics! 

Doesn't this just look really fun and summery? My franken actually dried up matte for some reason, but I applied some topcoat so it would match the shinyness of Bye, Bye Birdy! Drying time was ok I guess but that could also be because of the topcoat...

Only one more week until we can pick up the kittens to live with us, aaaah!

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?

Essence - Mellow Yellow

So this is sort of a pre-easternails mani, because on saturday or sunday I will show you what I will actually be wearing on easter but for now I just wanted to show you this one! It's Mellow Yellow, a pastel-light-yellow that is unfortunately not available anymore. Damn you, Essence. Anyway, here are my pictures! I used three coats and no topcoat.

daylight, no flash.

sun (yay!), no flash.

shocked-kittypic!

As you might know, pastel colours are the new trend for this summer and I think I'm actually fine with that. It looks sweet and happy! This polish does not really have the best formula, the application is fine but it dries kind of slow. Anyway, I'm happy with the result and I'll see you in a few days!

Catrice - Bye, Bye Birdie!

Well hello there :D I really liked Bye, Bye Birdy last time I put it on but it went on a bit streaky and bubbly so I didn't make any pictures, but this time I did! So here are the pictures :D

Did you know Bye, Bye Birdie has a bit of a shimmer? Here's a close-up!

How pretty :D

Do you remember this post? I really liked the combo so uhmmm.. Birdy got crackled, again!

another kittypic!

I really like the colour, it's just such a shame the application isn't as amazing as the colour is.. The crackle is a bit different from last time but I like it! Less stripy :D

How do you feel about yellow nailpolish?

PS. This is my last day of summer vacation. Tommorow, I have to go to that building full of fun people and teachers (D:) again. To be honest, I'm not really looking forward to it...

PPS. This was my last post with long nails in a little while. I cut them short today because they were weak and  the layers were splitting. I bought some new treatment-stuff and I hope they'll work soon so I'll have beautiful , long and healthy nails!

Birdy got crackled!

If it wouldn't be soooo messed up, I would show you the pictures of Bye Bye Birdy without the black cracking topcoat, but too bad. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, I just apply 3 thin coats of the new catrice polishes and for some reason air bubbles appear everywhere.

Anyways, since I'm LOVING the crackle-polishes I had to try the black one. Birdy definitely got crackled!

Like like like! WDYT?
