Essence - Blue Addicted

Well hello there! I'm sorry it took me so long to post something new.. This weekend Gemma and Alisja came over and I did their nails! Gemma really REALLY liked this mani (< click!) so she wanted the exact same haha :D

Doesn't it look really cute? She loved it and I'm happy she did <3 I used Catrice Glamourista as a base, then  took the Essence white stampy polish and stamped her nails with Konad M65.

Alisja wanted me to do some water marbling but we didn't have a lot of time so we just did one nail on each hand, an accent nail. I used Essence - MY BOYFRIENDS JEAN'S, Paris Memories - White and the mysterious Cosmetica Fanatica polish for this marble!

close-up!

I think it worked out great and I'm happy they loved it <3 I love you guys!

Now, on to my nails :D Friday I went shopping and the first thing I saw was that the new Essence products were in the store! The blue crackle was gone already but I'll get it another time. Fingers crossed! I did pick up Blue Addicted, a blue jelly mixed with green and blue glitters, I think it's the closest dupe to Deborah Lipmann Across the Universe. I LOVE IT! It took 3 coats to be opaque, and I applied one layer of topcoat over it.

I don't own Across the Universe but from the pictures I've seen I can tell it's a really close dupe. It was a p.i.t.a to remove, ofcourse, but glitters will be glitters lol! I'm happy I got this, because I wasn't sure.. But then again, it was only €1,29 so why not give it a try? My try was a success.

What do you think of these 3 manicures?

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?

P.S. Here's a little picture from some gorgeous flowers in my garden!

These roses are for Audrey - CG For Audrey

Helloooo! I'm back, sorry it took me so long haha... Next week I have another testweek at school (urgh) so I probably won't post anything... SO SORRY! 
So erh tuesday I got For Audrey in the mail (a major lemming was killed!) and I couldn't wait to try it. But Monday I put on one of my new polishes from H&M, the Hello Kitty Turquoise. Here's a quick pic!

I wanted to show you this because this polish and For Audrey are pretty much THE SAME! I'll make a real comparison as soon as possible, but here's a bottle comparison pic...

Yeah... That's exactly what I thought.

On to For Audrey (LOVE IT)

As you know, I really love my M65 Konad Rose - pattern, lol. I couldn't help stamping it on this BEAUTIFULL polish!

Catrice Glamourama - C04 Glamourista / Valentines day manicure!

Hi! Yesterday I went shopping here in Zoetermeer, and I went to the Trekpleister where they sell Catrice. The still had the old LE (Glamourama) and I saw Glamourista and it was just a perfect red polish. It was only €1,25! Today I'm going to show this perfect little polish to you! It's a deep jelly red, without any shimmer. 

with flash, it's not that bright in real!

this is how the colour sort of looks like in real. I had to darken it with my computer because my camera just couldn't pick up the right colour. 

Ok so I liked he colour, but I was like hmmm little boring! Since valentines day is monday, I made this little valentine manicure for you! I stamped with the special Essence stampy polish with KONAD plate M65, the rose pattern.
