OPI, Essie and H&M

For this mani I used 
H&M mini - dark purple
Essie - Carnival
OPI - Show It And Glow It

The first two fingers are dark purple and carnival. Last two are the OPI polish. Wanted to see how they looked on top of the H&M polish.
Unfortunately the result wasn't all that impressing I think.







Best friends:)
Would be nice to try them on without anything on as a base. 
Would probably take 1000 years to do, but think the result would be amazing :)


And the holo-glitter-pics :)

Lacquers I used yesterday

Hey guys
I lined up the lacquers I used last night to the sponging. Here you can see them :)

The Depend without a visible number is the green to the right

My first sponging + more

Today I came up with this cute design but the tape I used to make straight lines ruined the polish a bit because it wasn't dry enough.
I used the lacquers from Pieces - Soul Petrol, Highland Green & Red Berries and from H&M - White
 Anyway, I ended up removing this mani quite fast and made a mani with stripes and sponging gradient.
 This is my first time to try sponging - at least on nails :b I think it went pretty well except that the neon colours on my pinkie became too dark because there were too many layers of different neon colours.
The colours I used are:
Depend - no. 34, 35, 54, 131, 133, 159, 193, 223, 247, & that green colour again where the number has been worn out
H&M - Purple
Pieces - Red Berries
Models Own - Purple Mystique
Rimmel - Lycra Pro 312 Ultra Violet, 60 Seconds 605 Purple Reign & 60 Seconds 825 Sky High
Kiko - 333
Barry M - 308 Berry Ice Cream
Tiger - no. 17
Sally Hansen - Blue Me Away!
Essie - Turquoise & Caicos
Gosh - 597 Miss Minty
Rival de Loop - 55

Can't wait to receive my polishes!

So I have sinned.
I have ordered a lot of polishes in different online stores. Here you can see which polishes I'm talking about: 
Models Own:
Disco Mix
Emerald City
Gun Grey
Purple Mystique
Evergreen
Nubar:
Midnight Glory
Nubar 2010 Glitter Top Coat
Reef Green
Barry M:
Instant Nail Effects - Blue
Pastel Collection - Berry Ice Cream
Classic Collection - Indigo
Essie - Turquoise & Caicos

I have also ordered a XL stamping plate and five Stamping lacquers in the colours black, white, gold, silver and blue.

Well that was pretty much polish so I promised myself not to by any polishes in the next period, like a month or so. We'll see :b

I'm looking very much forward to receive these lacquers especially the Nubar 2010 Glitter Top Coat, it's a flakie and it looks so lovely. I'm also excited to get the stamping plate so I can make wild nails in a few minutes :)

I'm hoping that the packages will be in the mail today(if I'm very lucky) or tomorrow. If not I think I'm gonna wait until Monday, that's way too long.
Please be here very soon.

Remember that you can at any time write me a comment with a suggestion of how I should paint my nails next.
