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.

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!

Living up to my nickname!

I thought it was time to get some hearts on my nails, especially because my nickname is based on my name (Arti) in combination with hearts. :D

It's just a basic, white base colour from Essie, with hearts in several colours. They're mainly from Miss Sporty. I used Gosh' matte top coat to give it a matte finish. 

What's your nickname, and why?

Bye! :D

No cracks...

Originally I wanted to make happy coloured nails with a black crackle nail polish on top. It took me a while to get to the manicure shown above... Here's what happened! :)

Greydient

I made a gradient from yesterday's nails using a beautiful silver/glitter polish from GOSH! :D

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 :)!

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! :)

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?
