Koh - Glamourous Purple

Hey guys! Hope everyone's doing well.. Today I wanted to show you a lovely nail polish by Koh and I also wanted to tell you how I paint my nails, because I've been getting a lot of questions about that :-).

You're looking at Glamourous Purple, a lovely duochrome. This is 2 coats over 1 coat Smokey Violet (also by Koh). The formula of these polishes weren't too great, but the colors are really nice. I think this mani kinda looks like a less saturated version of Nubar's Purple Beach!

Second, how do I apply my nail polish? Well, it's nothing special really. I do have several ground rules:

• good lighting
• hands resting on the desk
• enough polish on the brush to cover the whole nail at once
• start in the center a little bit above the cuticle push it towards the cuticle and then straight up - then the same for the sides, starting from the middle.
• jagged line around the cuticle? Please read Megan Chair's amazing tutorial on how to clean up!

I'm not saying this is the way it should be done, but it works really well for me :-). Hope you found this useful. Take care and till next time!

I've Got a lot of Time on My Hands...

Day 95

:-P literally!! :-P I totally love the red digital one, its my favorite. :-D



I used American Apparel Cotton as a base for the white nails, and OPI for Sephora What's a Tire Jack? Matte as a base for the black nail. I also used OPI for Sephora What's a Tire Jack? Matte for all the black numbers, clock hands. China Glaze 2030 from Khrome Collection for the gold hands, and Zoya Dakota for the digital numbers.

Tick-tock!

A Small Delay and Two Giveaways!

Sorry mensen, ik ben nog steeds ziek en ik word misselijk van de geur van nagellak dus ik ben nog niet aan de BB Couture reviews toegekomen. Ik heb wel mijn vriend kunnen overhalen om de twee lakken uit de Men's Collection te showen onder de strikte voorwaarden dat hij ze mag laten zien terwijl hij stoere mannendingen vast houdt zoals een echte draadknipper en dat hij de fles nagellakremover mag vasthouden zodat hij 100% zeker weet dat het er ook echt weer direct af gaat als we klaar zijn. lol
Dus blijf kijken!

Ik wil ook deze twee giveaways net jullie delen:

English: Sorry guys, I'm still sick and the smell of polish is making me nauseous so I didn't get to the BB Couture reviews yet. I did however persuade the boyfriend to model the two polishes from the men's collection under the strict conditions that he gets to model with tough guy stuff like actual wire cutters as props and that he gets to guard the bottle of nail polish remover while I paint his nails so he will be 100% sure the stuff will come off right away when we are done. lol
So stay tuned for that!

I also wanted to share these two giveaways with you:
