Cold as ice

I wanted to do my version of the expression "cold as ice"
But
This mani didn't really turn out the way I wanted it to.
On the pictures i'm wearing 2 coats of Kiko and 1 coat of Gosh and yet another one of Kiko- the flakie.
I didn't expect the polishes to be that see through, though it looked pretty neat in daylight.


Trying to catch the flakie/glimmer on the nails as well as in the bottle.




Really think I need to find a light blue polish for my foundation, and then maybe try again.
Perhaps even a white base would do the work, what do you think?

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.
Blurry photo of Green Hawaii to see some of the amazing glitter
 I had to try Green Hawaii out immediately :)
Again blurry to see the effect

I hope you are enjoying your holiday :D

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
