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

Catrice Million Styles - Return Of Space Cowboys

Hello cuties! Today I rushed my butt to the Kruidvat to get some of the Million Styles polishes from Catrice, and found the two I wanted :D I got Shake It! Flake It! and Return Of Space Cowboys, wich I will be showing you today. It's a duochrome turquoise glitter and I applied 1 coat over my favourite black, MAX - Black.
normal daylight, not too sunny (as usual), no flash.

a bit moven, sorry, with flash.

kittypic! purrrr...

I LOVE THIS. It's all pretty and blue and duochrome and wiiiiiiii! The base is a dark gray jelly and it contains silver and blue glass flecks. Isn't that amazing? Drying time wasn't amazing but it wasn't too bad.. We'll see about the removal with this one, I hope I'll be able to get it all off haha!
So, what do you think? Do you own any of the Million Styles topcoats?

Franken on a wednesday - the perfect nude

I think every girl needs her perfect nude nailpolish, and...I got it! Well, I had to mix some polishes together for it but it turned out great! I bought "Nude" from the Action (a store who I think all of my dutch readers know) but it was way too orange and sheer for me. I poured some nailpolish out of the bottle and added some Essence white stampy polish, loads of normal white polish, 3 drops of Catrice - Moulin Rouge Light and 1 drop of Superstar - Skinny Vanilla Latte. Tadaaa!

normal light, no flash.

daylight, no flash. most colour-accurate pic, I think...

outside, no flash. very cold though!

kittypic!

I think nudes are elegant and sophisticated, and I simply adore this one! It's still quite on the pink side, but it's less pink than Moulin Rouge Light. Drying time was awfull though, this is two coats and it took me soooo long to get this dry.

Anyway, can you guys help me think of a name for this little franken?

My 100th post! Party/Christmas-mani "Hello Julia"

Hey guys! I just saw this is my 100th post, yay! I'm really thankfull for all of my followers and I love reading your comments, thankyou guys! Tommorow I'm hosting a birthday party with Sophia for all of our musical-friends :D I wanted something with a lot of glitters, and here it is! I applied one layer of my favourite black wich is empty now (booooohoohoo :c) then I used Hello Holo by Essence and sponged it onto the tips. After that I used Essence - Julia and added some more glitter! It took me two layers of topcoat to get it all straight haha..

I really like this mani, it's so fun and glittery! It's going to be a p.i.t.a to remove but it'll be worth it! 
What's going to be your christmas mani?

MAX - Black + H&M - METALLIC BLUE

Hello ladies! Have you noticed I allready have 106 followers now? Thank you, and welcome to my newest followers! 
I really liked the splatter nail art I did last time, so I had to try it again. As a base, I used MAX - Black. The cheapest but best black ever! You can buy it at the "Action" and it costs €0,49. I know.. right? It only took 2 coats to be opaque, and it didn't need a topcoat. Let's move on to the pictures (:



Then I took one of my H&M mini polishes, called Metallic Blue and I used the tip of a pen in stead of a straw..

kittypic!



close-up!

H&M Metallic Blue is anything but metallic, it's a very sheer blue and has pretty blue and green glitters but looks amazing over blue! I tried normal layering but the formula of this mini is so weird, it's not possible..

I'm leaving to France for 3 weeks, I'm really excited but I'll miss you guys so much! I just wanted to let you know I really love reading your sweet comments and I'll be back soon, I promise.
