Beautygloss remake!

  

Hi there! 

My fellow Dutchies may know BeautyGloss, which is a Dutch beautyblog. A while ago, Mascha, the website's owner, got her nails done by Maybelline.

I decided I'd try to make them myself, on my own nails :D! I didn't use the Maybelline colours, but just a few other ones I found in my stash. The green, pink, and blue (pinky finger) are from Miss Sporty, the green/blue on the ring finger is Miss Minty from Gosh, the black is from Jessica, the white from Essie, and the pink on my thumb from some unknown brand I found (bottle without sticker or anything xD). I mostly used a thin brush, like the lady from Maybelline.

Get'm lined up.

Hi there! Last weekend I went to IKEA and bought some things which I wanted to have for quite a while now... Guess what!?

Review | BornPrettyStore's striping tape

Hi there :D!

Recently I got my order from BornPrettyStore, and one of the items I bought was the striping tape. I got it in the package above, a simple plastic bag. 

Colourful print

Hi there! Yep, still alive... xD. Sorry 'bout that.

A few days ago I decided I wanted to do a panther mani. Here it is! I used Miss Minty by Gosh as a base colour. Then I added some pink, orange, and yellow-ish blobs on every nail. Just a quick swipe with a brush with black nail polish on it, and you're done!

First, I thought I'd finish it with a nice, glossy top coat. When I saw that, I just wanted it to be matte... so I applied my Essie's matte top coat over it, and here's the result! 

I did the same with my right hand, but I used different colours for the blobs.  

Unfortunately I had to file all my nails this short, because the nails on my middle finger and thumb were torn away by some walls and doors et cetera... :(. Anyway. They'll grow fast enough. :) 

I'm writing ahead right now, so you definitely can look forward to more posts :)!

Thanks for reading. Bye!

The blue glitter crackle.

Hi there! How's your week?

The title pretty much sums it up. This manicure is a combination of three different polishes. First, a light blue one from Miss Sporty. Then I added a Miss Sporty glitter top, and a black crackle polish. 

First I thought I'd keep it like this:

But then I realised I hadn't tried the black crackle yet, so I just added it the second day of the mani. :)

Enjoy the rest of your week :D! (I certainly will, since Friday it's my birthday!)

Bye! 

A beautiful peach

I finally have my first Barry M polish! It's Peach Melba... and it's beautiful. I love the formula, colour, finish and everything! I added some other colours and stripes to this manicure :).

Video | Gradient nails

A while ago I made Assassin's Creed nails, and on my ring finger I made a red/black/white gradient. Here's a video about how you make a gradient like that :D!

I hope you liked it :).

Bye! 

The Polish Pen

As you may have seen in yesterday's manicure, sometimes I have to make very thin lines with nail polish. Last summer, I bought these amazing things... they're just pens, filled with polish. As you can see above, you can make very thin lines with it!

Assassin's Creed 3

Yep, I made Assassin's Creed nails! It's because Assassin's Creed 3 came out today :). 

My boyfriend has a Playstation 3 and he has all of the games, and a few months ago I decided I'd start playing them. He said I should play AC2, and I finished that one... So now I'm playing Brotherhood and the very first one. Bjorn (previously mentioned boyfriend) also ordered a special Freedom edition, so that got me in the mood to make these nails :D! 

Let's play!

Credits to The Nailasaurus! I wanted to make them too since I first saw them :). 

Yes - (my boyfriend and) I have a Playstation 3! I usually play Assassin's Creed (finished II, atm I'm playing the first one and Brotherhood), Raymann Origins, or Gran Turismo. 

I wanted to do something Playstation related, because AC3 is out next week. I decided I'd paint the controller buttons on my nails, because I already had black on them. Maybe I'll make some AC nails next week :)! 

Do you play videogames? Which ones do you like? Let me know in the comments :D! 

Bye!

Basic black matte

I've cut my nails today, so I decided to go for a darker colour. (I don't like to wear those when my nails are longer, it tends to look more vampy that way...) Obviously, black is the darkest colour I could find.

Some old ones...

So here's what I did when I didn't have a blog... I just made pictures of my nails and posted them on twitter/facebook. They weren't the best quality (except the green one), so I didn't want to write individual blog posts about them. I wanted to show them anyway, so here they are!

I'll look for some more older pictures like these, and then I'll post them as well :).

Enjoy your week! Bye!

Peach stamping

I have a peach coloured dress, which I'll be wearing tomorrow... so I decided to make some nails to go with it :). Unfortunately my matte top coat left a white stripe on my thumb...

Fluorescent Halloween nails!

Hi there! We don't celebrate Halloween in the Netherlands, but I've seen lots of bloggers who started to make Halloween creations, so I thought I'd join them :)!  On one nail, I made spider webs and on the other the actual spiders. 

The Avengers

A few days ago my boyfriend and I were watching The Avengers. Then it hit me. I had to make Avenger nails! 

A bit of green

Yes, here's an other Essie nail polish.. it's 99 - Mint Candy. It's as creamy and opaque as the previous polishes, and I love it just as much :)!

I... can water marble?

Yay! It might look a bit 'dirty', but that's just because I just finished cleaning up most of the mess I made... And I applied some oil on my fingers, so that's why they're shiny :).

I made these during the making of a water marble tutorial! Here it is. Enjoy!

Yellow or green?

I still don't know if this is a yellow or green polish. I have to admit, it looks green in the picture, but now I'm wearing it and it looks pretty yellow to me...

Stoned!

When I ordered my Konad stamping kit, I bought a set of Konad rhinestones too. I decided to make a manicure with them, and this is how it turned out!

Essence's crackle

(I'm sorry about the pictures, I took them with my phone...)

Here's a quick post about Essence's black crackle nail polish! This is because I read on a forum that people didn't like it, because it was too thick or to sticky. You also have a dark metallic blue, and apparently a white one too (although I've only seen -and own- the blue one.)

I used a metallic green (which has quite a bit of yellow in it) as the base colour. I think it was a Gosh polish, but it could've been a Catrice. I haven't got the bottle near me, but I'll update if I know!

note: you have to use a base coat with these kind of colours, since you wouldn't want yellow or green nails!

I applied one thin coat of the black crackle, and a Rimmell top coat. This is the result. :) 

What do you think about crackle nail polish?
