Animal Print Series - Black Tiger

Hello Lovelies!

How are you today? The weekend is almost here - you nearly made it! Hurray :-D Today I want to share with you another Animal Print design. I saw similar pictures online and liked them a lot so I had to try it this way too. I think it is a bit more elegant and less girlie.

The base colour for this manicure is Maybelline Color Show - Mauve Kiss. I then added a stripe of black polish to approximately one third of my nails with L'Oreal - Black Swan. Using a fine nail art brush I created tiger stripes on the other part of my nails.

I don't know what it is with me, Animal Prints and matte top coat, but I added some to this manicure too. At first I was pretty pleased and wore it for a while, but I ended up adding a glossy topcoat again later. I simply didn't like the look of the matte finish anymore, especially on the black polish. I didn't take another picture though, but you get the idea of how it looks like glossy from the pictures above.

How do you like this design? Is this something you'd like to wear too?

Maybelline - Color Show - Mauve Kiss

Hello Everyone!

Today I want to show you this Maybelline Color Show polish by the name Mauve Kiss (150).

Mauve Kiss is a light brown creme polish with an excellent formula. It is almost opaque in one coat, but I still used two for these swatches without any base or top coat. Judging by the name I expected the polish to have a hint of lilac to it but that is absolutely not the case.

This lovely nude polish is ideal to wear year round especially with nailart ontop of it. 

I think it looks good with my skintone so I will definitely use it again!

How do you like this polish? Do you wear colours like this on their own or do you prefer them with a bit of nailart?

b.pretty - inchromnia

Hello Lovelies!

A few days ago, before my green week for St. Patricks Day started, I posted my b.pretty chrome collection. Today I want to show you one of these polishes. This is inchromnia. Given that it is almost 2 AM and I can't sleep, this might be the perfect post to write right now! :-D

Inchromnia reminds me of platinum with a golden touch. It is a shimmery matte metallic polish with a great formula that is easy to apply. It leaves hardly any brushstrokes and is opaque in two coats. 

In these outdoor pictures the colour appears a bit colder and reminds me more of steel. I really like the finish of this polish a lot. Depending on the lighting it has this cold chrome look or a warmer golden touch.

I will definitely be wearing it again. It is suitable for everyday but pretty enough to be festive. With a little accent you can wear it for any occasion!

How do you like this polish? Are you a fan of the chrome finish?

LOOK by BIPA Nail Quickie - Beige

Hi everyone!

For my second post today I want to show you this LOOK by BIPA Nail Quickie. I got this during my Christmas Shopping spree. See the haul here.

Beige has a beautiful golden shimmer to it and is an elegant nude colour. It is definetely work appropriate and can be worn every day. But in my opinion this could also go with a festive robe.

The formula of this Nail Quickie is very good. I used two coats to reach full opacity and it dried very fast. For these swatches I did not use a base or top coat.

How do you like this polish? Isn't it a wonderful nude?

Nicole by OPI - KardashianKolor - SOPHISTI-CUTIES

Hello everyone!

Today I want to show you the Nicole by OPI - KardashianKolor - Sophisti-cuties blue box.

 It contains four mini bottles of nailpolish in beige, a dark glitter, petrol and brown.

 My Empire... My Rules - Follow Me On Glitter - Khloé Had A Little Lam-Lam - 

Hard-Kourt Fashionista

 I did not wear these on my nails yet but put them on a display to show you the colours a little better.

I am looking forward to try these on. But I guess this could take a while, because in my opinion these colours are perfect for autumn. And there are still so many others to wear first! :-D

Do you own any of these colours?

claire's - Grey Day

Hi everyone!

Today I want to show you claire's - Grey Day from my Christmas Shopping trip. It is a glitterpolish with a clear base and square, dark-grey glitterparticles in it. It is very easy to apply and the glitter density is good. For all pictures below I only used one coat of Grey Day with some additional dabbing here and there to cover bald spots. I did not use a topcoat.

First I have GD over 2k beauty's - Teal.

 Second is GD over LOOK by BIPA - beige. (I will link back to the swatches once they're up.)
(Update: did that! :-D)

And last but not least is GD over a matte pink polish from claire's you can see here. Of course it is no longer matte after using a topcoat.

I like this glitter topper quite a lot and am glad that I picked it up while I was out shopping for Christmas Presents (see my haul here). It is a unique glitter polish to my collection. I have nothing alse that can be compared to it.

I do think that it looks beautiful on all these colours.

Do you have a favourite combination? How do you like this glitter polish? Do you own any square glitters?
