H&M - Fashionista

Hi guys! Is everybody enjoying their day? I hope so! I'm having another busy but boring day at the office, thankfully I'm allowed to wear any nail polish to work. Heck, they don't even notice that I compulsively change colors every day :-D.

Today I'm wearing another pretty nail polish by H&M. Like always, the formula was pretty good, 2 coats and a finish as smooth as silk. This polish can be a bit streaky though! The color is a bright blueviolet. Love.

The name of this polish is Fashionista, and I'm glad they got it right this time, because they have messed up before! :-D

Thanks for stopping by and till next time!

From The Vault: Sunshine And Flakies!

Ik hoop dat iedereen het nieuwe adres van mijn blog heeft gevonden! 100+ followers al, wat is dat snel gegaan! Bedankt dat je me volgt. Ik waardeer het heel erg dat jullie de tijd nemen om mijn geklets te lezen en mijn foto's te bekijken.
Zo, genoeg geslijm. Op naar de foto's!


English: I hope everyone found the new blog address! 100+ followers already, that's fast! Thank you for following me. I really appreciate you all take some time out of your day to read my ramblings and look at my pictures.
So, enough with the mushy stuff. On to the pics!



Dit is een oudje uit het archief omdat ik gisteren en vandaag zo druk ben geweest met de verhuizing dat ik geen tijd heb gehad om te lakken. Deze foto's zijn volgens mij van afgelopen zomer en zoals je ziet had ik nog niet helemaal uitgevogeld hoe mijn camera werkt want het zijn niet de beste foto's.

English: This is an old one from the vault because I've been so busy with the move that I haven't had time to polish my nails. I think these pics are from last summer and as you can see I hadn't yet figured out how my camera worked because the pics aren't the best.



In de schaduw zodat je de flakies beter ziet. Ik draag Nfu Oh #235 met #50 daar overheen.
235 is een prachtige lavendel creme. Helaas was de lak behoorlijk gescheiden dus ik had VEEL verdunner nodig om alles weer gemixt te krijgen en dat deed de applicatie geen goed. Na deze mani heb ik hem een nachtje open laten staan en toen was de formule wel weer handelbaar.
50 is een lichtpaarse jelly met blauw-groene flakies.

English: In the shade so you can see the flakies better. I'm wearing Nfu Oh #235 topped with #50.
235 is a beautiful lavender creme. Unfortunately my bottle had separated significantly so I had to use a LOT of thinner to get it all mixed up again and this didn't help application. After this mani I left it open for a night and that made the formula workable again.
50 is a light purple jelly with blue-greenish flakies.



Ik ben van plan om de rest van de week weer eens wat nail-art te laten zien want dat is veel te lang geleden. Misschien gooi ik er zelfs nog wel een valentijnsdag mani tussen!
Bedankt voor het kijken!

English: I plan on showing some nail-art the rest of the week because I haven't done that for far too long. I might even throw in a valentines day mani!
Thanks for looking!

Air Nail

So I was thinking about the Daily Nail logo, and it made me think of other types of mail, like airmail, and I thought that airmail would be a fun look for nails!! So, I got to work making some french tip sticker guides out of painter's tape and a Konad plate as a guide for my X-acto knife, painted the stripes, and c'est voilà! - Air Nails! :-P Ok, I'm a dork, I'll freely admit it. I have to say though, I think it's hard to use guides, they drive me nuts, so I only use them when I have to- like for stuff like this.



I used Sally Hansen All the White Stuff as a base, with Pure Ice French Kiss for the blue stripes, China Glaze Salsa for the red stripes, and China Glaze Liquid Leather for the cancellation stamp on the middle finger. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat for good measure. :-P

(Thank goodness it didn't add on to shipping costs!!) :-P

OPI - La Paz-itively Hot! Matte

Hi guys! How's everyone doing? Today is such a grey day, it's raining for hours now. And what do we do in sucky weather? Right! Wear bright and happy nail polish.
I decided to go with one of the mattes by OPI that I actually like. Don't get me wrong, I love the suedes, but most of their mattes are really not that great. This one, however, is.

It's La Paz-itively Hot and I'm enjoying this bright, almost neon, pink color a lot. It also has a slight shimmer which adds that little bit of depth I need. Unfortunately it's a 3 coater, but it dries super fast, so I don't really mind! What colors do you love to wear when you want to cheer yourself up?
