Polish addicted? I really must be

I'm beginning to think that I have a polish problem.
I can't even keep my nails polish free for 3 days. It has not even been 48 hours since I removed my nail polish. And the worse part must be that I did wear polish in the meantime - strengthening polish because my nails really need that.

Anyway, I did a little stamping on every nail but then I had to try my new lacquer Nubar 2010 from Nubar, my first flakie!


 I added different dark shimmer and holographic lacquers and added the lovely flakie on top

Pimping my nails

Today I felt like pimping my nails so I covered half of each nail in a different colour. I did this on top of my mani I had already.
But when I saw this tutorial I had to try that out
  Tutorial Double ligthning bolt



The lacquers I used are:
L'Oréal - Resist & Shine Titanium no. 732 and 736
Gosh - 550 Purple Heart and 593 Midnight Blue
La Femme Beauty - 34 Azure and 21 Baby Blue

They're all shimmery/chrome lacquers and one is holographic and I think they look pretty good together. The Baby Blue polish is maybe too bright with the others but when the others are all so similar you have to look a bit closely to see where the colour changes.

This is the first time I have used tape to make nail designs and I am surprised how well it works. You get the most perfect lines by using tape so I'm definitely going to do that another time.

Lovely shimmer polish

So I did my nails again last night. Twice in a day - that must be a record. lol
Anyway, it's a bit similar to the polish I used earlier in the day. They both look black with holographic shimmer(Gosh) or shimmer(L'Oréal) in pretty colours, but when you get it on they're not black at all. Of course they're dark but they contain so much shimmer that the colour really shine through - especially in the sun. Very lovely both of them!
So the lacquer I put on in the night(yeah, it was actually night) has this very very pretty turquoise shimmer that I totally adore.
The lacquer is from L'Oréal in the Resist & Shine Titanium series and is no. 736
I know, I didn't clean my nails but I didn't feel up to do it because is was getting late and all that.
Anyway, the bottle is kinda weird. First I thought I had broken it when I tried to open it because half of the lid just went off. When I bought this polish I also bought another from the same brand and it did the same with the lid so I figured that it's on purpose.
This is how it looks when the lid is taken off.
Imagine this shimmer out in the sun - suddenly there's a thousand times this shimmer(okay maybe not but really much) in the polish. It looks so beautiful, didn't I say that already. Haha. Anyway I love it! :)
