Is it me, or isn't it too bad?

Here's a picture of my matte new-formula Catrice nails!

It's I'm Dynamite (the glitter) over Petrolpolitan (the green one). I used Gosh' matte top coat to make it matte. I must say... I like it. I've heard loads of comments and complaints about the formula and/or brush, but I'm not unsatisfied with it. Maybe it's because Petrolpolitan is the 'best' one from the reviews I've read, but still.

The only thing that could've been better is the amount of glitters that comes off the I'm Dynamite's brush. I had to go over my nails several times before getting enough on them.

Well. This one fits nicely on the shelf filled with Catrice (and Miss Sporty) polishes. :)

What's your opinion? Do you like the new Catrice polishes?

Bye!

I'm going vintage.

I've always wanted to try those cute, vintage flower manicures. So I did. I used my BornPrettyStore brushes and slapped on some red and white polish, making flowers on my pink base colour.

I just pretty much tried it without actually following a tutorial, and I think it looks pretty decent, right? The white lines are made with my liner brush. :)

You can't see it very well, but if you look at my pinky finger, you'll see I added a matte top coat, to make the manicure look a bit softer.

I hope you liked it!

Bye! 

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! 

Striped water marble

This time I made a striped water marble design! Unfortunately my pinky didn't turn out that good, but I really like the rest of my fingers. :D

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...

I hope you like this stamping tutorial! 

Enjoy your week :)

Bye! 

Stamping!

I bought new stamping plates from BornPrettyStore and this is the first time I've used one of them... I like the result. I've seen reviews from people who don't like 'fake' stamping plates (meaning not from Konad), but I really like these.

What are your favourite stamping plates? Do you even like stamping!? Let me know!

Bye!

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!

Essie's not so matte about you...

I've bought two Essie polishes today! :D For the Dutchies - you can buy it at Etos and the colours are about ten/eleven euros and the top coat about twelve. (I haven't got the receipt near me.)

The left one is 1 Blanc and the second one is Matte about you - a matte topcoat.

update: I just applied an other layer on my black thumb and it appears to be a little more matte than before... yay!?

Everyday I'm marblin'

Except not really. I'm just quite bad at it. I decided to give it an other try, and it happened. My water marble creation looked decent! I FINALLY DID IT :).

Gradient!

 

I made gradient nails this time! I think I need to buy a finer sponge though, because I think this one's not fine enough... 

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?
