Circus Confetti

A little glitter while we wait for the summer. Actually this picture is two months old and I'm sorry I haven't been blogging for pretty much that long.
Anyway, for this mani I used some coats of Essence - Circus Confetti over black :)

Don't worry, more posts are coming up :)

Green Hawaii Rainbow

Yeah, it sounds good :b
I found out that it looks very lovely with Gosh - Rainbow(or any other warm coloured flakie) on top of Gosh - Green Hawaii.
This adds even more glitter and colours to the manicure and it sparkles so very very pretty. You can only see the flakes in the shadow and in light you just get more colourful glitter :) it's great!

Lazyness and green glitter polish

I've been lazy at the moment especially with blogging. My apologies.
On Sunday I was shopping and I accidentally unintentionally bought 5 lacquers, uups.
Anyway, they were really cheap so I thought it was okay.

From left to right: H&M - Blue Wave, H&M - Sea Pearl, H&M - Ocean Sand, Gosh - 548 Green Hawaii, Gosh - 546 Rainbow

The H&M lacquers contain 11 mL and I got them for only 10 kr each(about £1,2 or $1,9) and I got the Gosh for only 15 kr each(about £1,8 or $2,8) and I'm very happy about that. I also bought Rainbow for Stine :)
Blue Wave is a baby blue lacquer with shimmer in blue and purple, Sea Pearl also contains shimmer. It's hard to see if it's holographic or just pink/peach, I'm gonna have to find out when I try it on. Ocean Sand is a brown base with silver shimmer. Green Hawaii is a fresh green with holo glitter in all of the rainbows' colours and at last but not least Rainbow is a flakie which shines mostly in orange nuances.

 I had to try Green Hawaii out immediately :)

Again blurry to see the effect

I hope you are enjoying your holiday :D

Summer green nails

Today(and last night) I did this manicure.
I think it's a lovely summer green mani which just cheers you up.
As a base I used Nubar - Reef Green
Then I stamped with gold stamping lacquer(unknown brand) and made details with Depend - no. 83 and Gosh - 572 Golden Bronze. As a finish I highlighted with Depend - no. 45

On the other hand I stamped with silver but it's very hard to see. I also think the gold makes it more warm and summer-like and the silver makes it more cool and not-so-summer-like ;)

Emerald City

I'm sorry if you're disappointed in this very simple manicure.
Well I'm going to a party tonight and I'm wearing a green dress and I thought that this must be the ultimate party polish and it will match my dress.
The polish I'm talking about is Emerald City from Models Own. When I ordered it on the internet I thought it looked very turquoise green but then it arrived and it looked only green to me. The more I look at it the more turquoise it seems to me. When I was taking pictures I couldn't even make it look green. Maybe it's all blue tomorrow, who knows? ;)
For base I used Tigers' green polish no. 27 and I'm wearing 3 coats glitter polish I think :)

The polish is pretty much the exact same colour as my top but my camera ate all the green colour itself. It is actually green with only a hint of turquoise.

 No worries dear friends. I have summer holidays and tons of time so you will see more advanced manicures soon.

Lots of lots of crack polish

I couldn't resist, I had to paint my nails again. It ended up being on top of what I had already.
I found out that it's pretty awesome with crack polish on top of crack polish on top of a colour :)
When you put on more than one crack polish, remember to apply top coat between them or it will just mess up. Another good idea is to pick crack polishes in very different colours, you don't really get the same effect with similar colours 'cuz it will be hard to tell the difference.
I also think it looks nice with crack polish on top of a glitter polish. The crack polish will tone down the BAM!-in-your-face-effect that glitter polish has. An idea could be if you put on a very lovely glitter polish for a party and the next day you can apply crack polish for a more everyday manicure without wasting the lovely glitter manicure.

 I tried with another coat of the blue crack polish but it might be too much.
One thing is sure, when you apply three coats of crack polish you can really see the depth in the polish.

I can't really figure out if it's too much with three times crack polish or if it's just for cool enough people :b
What do you think? :)

One thing is sure, the next few days I'm gonna take care of my nails, they really need some strengthening polish. I also really really have to study for my exam on Thursday and it means no more polish until then :(

Testing of my new polishes

Today this Konad mini stamper kit arrived in the mail and I had to try it out with my new polishes.

I couldn't decide which polish to wear first so I made all my nail different and used all polished at the time. 

I must admit, I really adore the glitter lacquers especially Disco Mix from Models Own. It's this lovely mix of blue and pink-purple glitter and is the perfect party polish :)

So which nail/polish do you like the best? ;)

Look what arrived in the mail!

Yesterday some of my packages arrived but nobody was home so I went down to the post office to get them today.
Here's what I got

The colours aren't very good in the picture but I'm too lacy to take a good picture right now :b

From left to right: Barry M: Berry Ice Cream, Indigo, Instant Nail Effects Blue, Models Own: Disco Mix, Purple Mystique, Gun Grey, Emerald City, Evergreen.
And I got a free eyeliner with the Models Own polishes.

The colours look very lovely but the Emerald City looked more turquoise green on modelsownit.com where I got it. It's pretty much just green without the turquoise.

I can't wait to try them out! I will let you know when I do :)
