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

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! 

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! :)

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!?

Apple nails

You might be interested in this or not, but I have a MacBook. Obviously, this design was inspired by Apple :).

I just used a base coat, a white polish, a grey polish, and a matte topcoat. I painted the Apple logo with a small, simple brush. (No 'real' nailpolish brush, though.)
