OPI - Mad as a Hatter - Hype or Hit?

Hey there! Today I'm going to show you another well known hysterical glitter: Mad As a Hatter by OPI. Everyone probably knows about the Alice in Wonderland collection by now, so I'm not going to get into that, unless somebody wants me to of course! It's supposed to hit stores on the 11th of March in the Netherlands, but the entire collection can be ordered online already :-).

From this collection I only got Absolutely Alice and this one. I was expecting to loooove Mad As a Hatter, but as turns out, I think Absolutely Alice is way prettier! MAAH just looks, I don't know, weird. Well, on me! This was 3 coats and the formula was great though.

This polish contains about a zillion colors, which makes it a lot of fun to watch. However, personally, I think it's bordering on too much hysteria.

What do you think about this polish? Hype or Hit?

I May Have Lost My Marble..s...

Hey all!! Quick nail today- lots to do today! Concert tonight, plus I had my makeup done by the lovely MA, Britta, from Pennsylvania, who was at the local MAC store for the unveiling of the latest and greatest MAC collection. (picture to follow at the end of the post)





I used American Apparel Cotton as a base, with American Apparel Peacock and China Glaze 2030 from Khrome Collection marbled, the 2030 didn't like to play well with Peacock, and instead of marbling, just got blotchy... oh well. Topped off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE?

These nails have just a little bit of everything. The acrylic is called "wild roses" from sparklesnailproducts.com. I added clay dots and 3d acrylic flowers.

Love these nails. The acrylic is also from sparklesnailproducts.com. I added little purple and green hearts and clay conversation hearts "hugs" and "love".

These nails have 3d acrylic hearts that I made using a mold. I purchased the mold from ebay.

SOCCER MOM

These nails are for a soccer mom supporting her son. Go # 14!!!!

Big Fat Fail Day And Some Awesome News!

Ik had een Valentijnsmanicure in gedachten maar na vijf pogingen heb ik het opgegeven. Ik ben blijkbaar niet gemaakt voor schattige nail-art dus hierbij mijn Valentijnsnagels: China Glaze Ruby Pumps!

En ook hier zat het niet mee. Eerst smeer ik meer op mijn vingers da op mijn handen, vervolgens heb ik drie nagels beschadigd met op de bank zitten (Smudge Fixer to the rescue!) en nu zitten er stofjes in mijn topcoat. Vandaag is geen goede dag voor nagellak.
Dit is dus basecoat, drie laagjes Ruby Pumps, topcoat en dan op sommige nagels een laagje Smudge Fixer, nog een laagje Ruby Pumps en nog een laagje topcoat. Godzijdank hebben we aluminiumfolie!

I had a Valentines Day manicure planned but I gave up after five attempts. I guess I'm not made for cutesy nail-art so here are my V-day nails: China Glaze Ruby Pumps!

And again something went wrong. First I painted more finger than nail, then I smudged three nails while sitting on the couch (Smudge Fixer to the rescue!) and now there is dust in my topcoat. Today is not a good day for nailpolish.
So this is a basecoat, three coats op Ruby Pumps, topcoat and then on some nails a coat of Smudge Fixer, another coat of Ruby Pumps and another coat of topcoat. Thank god for foil!
