August nail polish favorites

Oh boy, it's the end of August allready! This month just flew by! I just don't want summer to end, luckily I have a holiday coming up in September, so fingers crossed for nice weather! This month I have been loving the last bit of summer and I took full advantage by painting my nails with summer polish like neons, brights and just really colorful polishes. But, of course, I have...

Rimmel Apocalips

A while ago, I saw the Rimmel Apocalips in my local drugstore. Well, actually, I first saw them months ago and I wanted one immediately, because of the vibrant colors. I saw a lot of people on Youtube rave about these lip lacquers and I they just looked stunning! But because I just bought about 15 lip products I didn't actually need, I couldn't justify bying these. A few...

Girly Bits Hot Toddy

The weather is slowly changing over here, fall is on it's way. I can see a couple of brown leaves on the trees and this made me crave a nice fall polish. Happy enough to still make the summer last a bit longer, but warm enough to make me look forward to fall and all the gorgeous colors nature gives us. I love spring and summer, but nothing beats a sunny fall day, when all the brown,...

OPI Alcatraz... Rocks

When I first saw the new OPI San Fransisco collection I got really excited! Beautiful colors, with a few little gems. I have to admit, there are also a few not so unique colors in this collection. The one polish that stands out in this collection for me, is the sparkly liquid sand. OPI Alcatraz... Rocks is a very smoked out purple navy with a ton of multi colored...

Chanel Taboo

When I first saw a swatch of this polish, I was in total and utter love! It's just gorgeous! But I immedialtely thought there is no way I'm ever going to pay that much for a polish! I held on to that firm believe for a few weeks, untill a friend of mine (or my enabler, which ever you prefer) send me a picture of it again and I gave up. I just had to have it! And who can blame...

Mani Monday: Dots

If you've read my nail art: big fat failure post, you're familiar with my outstanding nailart capabilities and know that I am quite possibly the worst nailarter in the world, lol. So when I realized I had to get creative for this weeks Mani Monday's theme, I had a slight panic attack... I contemplated just skipping this weeks theme, but that felt like cheating. All the...

Essence long lasting lipstick

No polish today, I have something different for you. A couple of days ago, I did a little shopping and I spotted the new Essence collection. I am a sucker for lipsticks and when I saw and swatches the new Essence long lasting lipstick, I was impressed. I decided to try them out and picked up 3 of the 10 available colors. Wear Berries, On the Catwalk and Dare to wear The...

Big fat failure: base coat

I was always under the impression that it didn't really matter what kind of base coat I would use, as long as I made sure to use something to protect my nails. I have tried a lot of different base coats and they were all fine where it comes to durability of my manicure. ( discoloration is a whole nother story though). I have used my trusty Sticky Base Coat from CND for a long...

China Glaze Water you waiting for

This is one of those polishes everybody kept telling me to get, because it's gorgeous. I wasn't convinced, I put this in my cart every time I ordered polishes, but I also took it out every time. Untill I decided to finally just give in and get it. It stood in my stash for a couple of months, untried and unloved, untill I pulled it out yesterday and just made myself paint my nails...
