My NYE-mani: Sparkling colours

Yesterday I suddenly felt like doing a NYE-mani; one with a lot of glitters and colour.
Fireworks on my nails, if you want ;-)

So, this is what I ended up with, and I must say, I quite like it.



The polishes I used are all China Glaze:


Medallion, Ginger, Dynasty, Mahoganie and Meteor Shower.

I wish you all a great 2011, filled with lots of love, health, and polish!

Starry Stylish

My most recent mani (still wearing it) is this one.
I used P2 Stylish, I must say, it's a nice polish.
Great coverage, needed only 2 layers.

Then added some nice stars.
Polish I used for stamping is China Glaze Millennium, such a great polish for stamping!
The plates I used are BM 05 and BM 21 from the bundlemonster plates.

You Don't Know Jacques! Suede

Today, I felt like something a bit more low profile after Catrice's Don't Feed the Birds, so I chose OPI's You Don't Know Jacques Suede.

We all know how pretty this one is, right?
Pimped it just a little bit with a stamp on my ringfinger to make it a bit more exciting.





The design is from another cheapass plate I picked up somewhere (for all you dutch gals out there, Chinatown in Beverwijk!)
Stamped it with China Glaze's Millennium.


I used Orly Bonder as a basecoat, I'm curious how long it will last before any tipwear appears!


And oh, I almost forgot, I have almost reached 50 followers, yay. I have a teenie weenie surprise in store when I hit 50.

China Glaze Emerald Sparkle

For today's mani I chose China Glaze's Emerald Sparkle.
Oh, how I love the glittery goodness and deep rich base of this one.



Close up to show the glittery goodness:
(oh my, please don't mind the dry edges and cuticles, I do take care to them every day...)


Plate I used is again some cheap plate I bought somewhere for 1 euro.
I love these plates!
The foil on them is a real pest, I was about to throw them out because they didn't work, untill I realised there was foil on them. It was completely invisible, and só hard to get off.
See all those scratches? That's how hard...

Misa Burnished Bronze

Made this mani for a glamour-mani contest.
Glamour doesn't always have to be over the top, right?


Polish is Misa Burnished Bronze, stamped with China Glaze Millennium.
The plate I used is a cheap-ass plate I bought somewhere, B01.
It surprised me this plate actually worked!

NOTD: China Glaze Celtic Sun

Another neon today, I decided to trie China Glaze Celtic Sun, guess I was feeling like spring already.
It's really sheer, this took 6 layers, and that's not even enough. As Flying Dragon (another one from the neon collection) covered quite well, I excpected this one to cover just as well.
Thank god for Seche Vite!

Put on some Konad to make it look better, it ain't much without Konad, this one.
I used plate M57.


I see a little fail there on my ringfinger, but not that bad, it's still fun. I think the Konad made it look quite fun actually.
Next time I'll put some white polish under it first, I totally forgot that tip!

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:

NOTD: China Glaze Ruby Pumps

Ha!
The sun was shining (yay!), so something glittery seemed to be right for today.
Pimped it with some Konad, and my nails were good to go for today!

I notice macro-pictures are killing, I wil practice my clean-up some more *blushes*.


Just now I put some Essie Matte abut you over it.
Don't really like the matte effect on this polish, I love the sparkly glitteriness too much I guess.
Left one nail shiny to show off the difference.


After the pics I quickly put on a shiny topcoat again, but I thought it would be nice to share this with you.
That's it for now, thanks for stopping by!

Konad time!

As promised, some better pics of my last Konad, Diamond Cosmetics Hue Are You? with China Glaze Millennium over it.
Not bad for my third Konad try, right?I'm quite proud of it.


My little sister came by today, she really liked my Konad and wanted to try for herself.
After going through my stash, she picked China Glaze Strawberry Fields, and I made a nice Konad design.
She likes it a lot, and is eager to order her own Konad stuff, haha.
Notice the beautiful shimmer?

So, that's it for now, hope you like all the nails!

Diamond Cosmetics Hue Are You?

Put on Diamond Cosmetics Hue Are You? today, a pretty, warm burgundy with tiny bits of gold. A rich, deep colour.
Then some Konad to top it off!
I stamped with China Glaze Millennium, using plate M64
Will try to get a better pic tomorrow.

So, that's it for my very first blog post!
