Gosh, it's Holographic!

Hi guys! Monday already! What's everyone up to today??

You're looking at Holographic by Gosh, and I've been literally stalking drugstores to find this one for ages! Finally found it last weekend so naturally I couldn't wait to try her! I like Gosh. Their nail polish formula is quite good and I actually love their makeup as well. Although it would be nice to see more choice in np colors.

The formula is tricky, kinda lumpy, but it all works out in the end, and it dries fast! I applied 2 coats and no top coat, and I adore it. It's probably the most dense holo I own, I can't stop looking at it!

I might indulge in some more holos, I've noticed different brands make different holos, who do you think makes the hottest holos ever?

May I Have This Dance?

Day 103

So I went to American Apparel today, hoping to nab Hassim, one of the few of their polishes that I haven't bought yet, only to find that they've been sent back to the company!! Rumor has is that they're revising certain aspects of the polish/packaging. I was surprised to hear this, because honestly, I love the polishes- most of them are nearly opaque in one coat, making them divine for Konading, and for freehand nail art as well! Anyway, while I was there, I chatted with the sales associates that were working, a lovely young lady, and a nice guy whose names I didn't ask for because I'm sometimes socially inept, and don't think about that sort of thing. Anyway, they know who they are- yay Miracle Mile American Apparel store! :) Anyway, that story was told to set me up for the explanation of the inspiration for my nails today, the guy suggested that I do dance-themed nails, since he was a dancer. I'm not sure this is what he was thinking of, since he mentioned ballet shoes, etc, but this is what immediately popped into my head for some reason... I was inspired!! :-) So, dear American Apparel lad, these are for you, I even used AA polish! :-P



I used American Apparel Cotton as a base, with China Glaze Liquid Leather for the dance steps and directions. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Even een snelle post zodat er weer wat nagelgerelateerds bovenaan staat. ;)

English: A quick post so there is something nail-related at the top. ;)




Dit is een van de nagellakken van mijn eerste online aankopen anderhalf (?) jaar geleden en ik ben misschien iets té impulsief geweest toen. Ik heb gewoon van alles in mijn karretje gegooid wat ook maar enigszins interessant leek en de meeste aankopen waren goed maar deze viel me irl toch wat tegen.


English: This is one of the polishes from my first online orders a year and a half (?) ago and maybe I was a bit too impulsive. I just filled my cart with anything that looked remotely interesting and most of that turned out great but this one was a bit of a disappointment irl.



Dit is de basiskleur maar als het licht er meer op valt zie je de gouden flash.

English: This is the base colour but when the light hits her she flashes gold.




Mijn mening: Ik ben er niet gek op. De applicatie was goed, ze lakt egaal en het kwastje is vrij standaard. Het is een duochrome dus ik zou haar mooi moeten vinden maar ik vind er dus niks aan. Het is gewoon mijn kleur niet.
Een flesje bevat 10ml en wordt verkocht voor €3,99 bij Alice and Jo Havesentials.


English: My opinion: I'm not crazy about it. Application was good, not streaky and the brush is pretty standard. It's a duochrome so I should love it but I don't. It's just not my colour.
A bottle contains 10 ml ans is sold in the Netherlands for €3,99 at Alice and Jo Havesentials.




Misschien moet ik haar eens over een andere kleur proberen. Zwart? Donkerblauw? Paars?


English: Maybe I should try her over another colour. Black? Dark blue? Purple?

New look!

Ik was vanmorgen wat met mijn testblog aan het knoeien toen ik erachter kwam dat ik op mijn echte blog bezig was. Oeps! Jullie krijgen dus vervroegd mijn nieuwe look te zien.
Ik weet nog niet of ik deze zo mooi vind dus er kan de komende tijd nog het een en ander veranderen en de blog kan dus soms even een beetje vreemd uitzien als ik met de lay-out bezig ben.

Zoals je ziet staat bovenaan een navigatie menu die ik nog in moet vullen en er is een link naar mijn Twitter. Het menu wil ik gaan gebruiken als short-cut naar posts over hand&nailcare, nagellak die werkt met Konad e.d.
De RRS feed moet ik nog instellen.

Dus niet schrikken als je op mijn blog komt en alles door elkaar staat want dat betekent dat ik er op dat moment mee aan het werk ben. De pagina vernieuwen zal dat in de meeste gevallen oplossen.

Wat vind je van de nieuwe look?


English: I was messing with my test blog this morning when I suddenly discovered I was working on my real blog. Oops! So you are getting to see my new look a little sooner than expected.
I don't know if I like this yet so it's possible there will be more changes in the future and the blog might look a little weird every now and then while I'm working on the and lay-out.

As you can see there is a navigation menu at the top which I still have to fill and there is a link to my Twitter. I plan on using the menu as a short-cut to posts about hand&nail care, polishes that work with Konad etc.
I still have to set-up the RRS feed.

So don't freak out when you come to my blog and it's totally out of whack because that means I'm working on it. Refreshing the page will probably make things OK then.

What do you think about the new look?

More Nfu Oh love - #51

Good morning! Is everyone enjoying their sunday? I hope so! I had a bad nail polish experience today already! I wore a turquoise color by the brand 2b, which I never heard of before, and as I thought the color was only so so, I wanted to remove this little bugger. And I have to say this is hands down the worst nail polish I've ever bought! The staining is ridiculous, my nails and fingers were blue. I never throw out nail polish, because that just seems so blasphemous, but this might be a solid candidate, ugh.

So after some soaking in pure acetone I decided I should give my nails something nice to wear after all the horror they went through. And when I say something nice, of course we're talking Nfu Oh's #51. This is probably the prettiest nail polish I'll ever own! Too bad it's half empty, so I really cherish it. I layered it over the most perfect purple ever: Viola Glitter by Collistar (will post about that one soon), and it's good to go!

What's your most favorite nail polish?
