Two perfect coats...

Some people don't know it, but there are more kinds of polishes than just pretty coloured ones. The most important ones are the base and top coat! 

In this blog post I'll show you which ones I use, and what they are good for. 

If you care about your nails, and you want them to be healthy and beautiful, this is the 'normal' way of polishing your nails.

- Clean your nails with some polish remover, make sure there isn't any dirt, nail polish, or oily stuff on them.
- Apply one layer of base coat.
- Apply thin layers of your coloured polish until it's opaque. 
- Apply a top coat when your polish is still a little wet.

Dripping French


You all know the basic, white tipped French manicure. Here's a variation! I added some 'drips' to it. You can make this manicure with some red polish too, for a nice, bloody effect.

Bye!

My first tape mani :)


Hi guys! 

This time I made a tape manicure, which is really easy to make. All you need is nail polish, a pair of scissors, and tape! 

First, you apply your base coat and base colour. Let them dry really good. Then, tape some parts of your nail. This is the reason your polish has to be really dry - you wouldn't want the wet polish to stick to your tape. Then polish over your tape with your second colour, and remove the tape directly while the polish is still wet. 

Finish off with a top coat and you're done! 

Hope you liked it :)! 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...

NYC Grey

Sorry, my cuticles are a bit dry lately. :(

A while ago I bought my first two NYC nail polishes - a brown and a grey one. You can see the last one in the picture above! :)

I quite like it. It wasn't expensive at all, and it was almost opaque after one layer! 

Do you like NYC nail polishes!? I do! :D

Bye!

Lots of polishes


So... here are all the polishes I used for the next manicure. It might be a bit of a chaos, but I was a bit bored and this mani was lots of fun to make! :)
