My favorite handcream

This is a tip for all you ladies out there who just hate those fatty, oily hands after using handcream.

I always have dry hands, but when winter comes, they're really dry and need a lot of care and attention.
I have been searching a good handcream for years, and my search is finally over.

The cream i'm talking about is Essence 24h hand moisture balm, with yoghurt and green tea.

The thing I love about this one, is the fact that it leaves no oily film or any residue after rubbing it on your hands.
It's a light cream, with a nice fresh scent.
But the fact it just disappears after massaging it in your hands for a little while, is really wonderful.

I am not exaggerating, you really have to give it a try.
I bought mine in Germany, for only 95 cents!


Have you already tried this one? What do you think about this handcream?

Essence Let's Go Girls!

Essence has some new products, especially for the upcoming soccer world championships in South Africa.
Among these products, there are (self-adhesive) nailstickers and bodytattoos.


The stickers and tattoos come in the colours of your country, in my case, of course, The Netherlands.
And those are fun!

The nailstickers are really easy to use.
Just pick the design you want, take it off the sheet, and place it on your nail.
Press down gently, and seal in with some topcoat.

First up, some pics of the nailstickers.
The lacquer I used is Essence Glamorous, a nice deep red with a subtle shimmer.


Looks fun, right?
In my opinion; an easy way to decorate your nails to support your country when they have to play soccer.

If you want to decorate your body even more, you can use the bodytattoos.
Also quite easy to use.

Just pick the design you want, and cut it out.
Peel off the protective film, and place it, design down, on your skin.
Wet the tattoo with water, and leave it for about 30 seconds.
Remove the paper, and let your 'tattoo' dry.
Easy does it.













Quite fun result, right?
A quick way to decorate your nails and the rest of your body, so no messing around with those stripers and dotters just before the game starts!

Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to cheer!

My Queensday nails

Yesterday was a big day here, Queensday.
Party's everywhere, everyone dressed up in orange clothes, funny hats, wigs, and so on.
So, nails should be decorated too, right?!

This was my mani:
(Hmm, sorry for the somewhat crappy look in this pics, somehow Blogger makes them look weirdly)


The orange polish is Juicy Orange from Essence, one from the Show Your Feet polishes.
This polish claims coverage in one layer, but it just doesn't.
I really don't like this one, it's more a jelly-based polish.
Three coats still didn't cover nicely.

Maybe this one is from a bad batch, or they just failed at this particular polish, I don't know, but I won't be using it again.

All the other Show Your Feet polishes do cover great, by the way.

Thanks for stopping by!

Catrice Don't Feed the Birds

This is a polish from Catrice's new polish collection, a nice bright yellow with a lovely shimmer in it.
Has 'summer'written all over it.
And I just love the name!
Wouldn't you just love to walk into a store, and ask, 'Hi, Can I have Don't Feed the Birds?' Sounds great, hehe.
Put a whole lot of Konad butterflies on it, just because I felt like doing so.

Oh, I know the acrylic on my nails looks a bit on the sloppy side, I filled it up myself for the very first time, without any lessons or something... :o



This is 3 layers of polish by the way.
The second picture is more colour accurate than the first I see.
A close-up to show off the great shimmer in this one:


For the butterflies I used Konad plate M78, and the following polishes:
Essence Show Your Feet Caribbean Sea
Essence Show Your Feet Hot Red
Essence Show Your Feet Deep Blue Sea
Catrice Lucky in Lilac

NOTD: Nfu.oh #66

Quickie today, it was sunny, so I felt like holo madness!
I truly adore the Nfu.oh holo's.
They just áre holo.


A subtle Konad, Essence Show Your Feet Caribbean Sea, used plate Mm63.

Thanks for stopping by!

NOTD: China Glaze Flying Dragon

This polish kinda surprised me.
It's a neon, and looks quite flashy in the bottle.
However, it dries matte? That really surprised me.
Put a topcoat on anyway, shiny it looks a bit more nice.
And I just love the tiny little pink and blue glitters in it!


Used Konad plate M63, and Essence Show Your Feet Caribbean Sea.

Just to show off the great glitters in this polish:
