Nail of the Day - October 2014

 

Manhattan & Buffalo: Nail Polish 96E

Tip: Kiko Fancy Top Coat nail laquer

Basecoat: p2, Intensive Nail! Hardener

Topcoat: essence, studio nails, better than gel nails, top sealer

I love a good french manicure - but it is so hard to do it yourself! So how do you do it? You use glitter for the tips of your nails! The great thing about doing this with a glitter nail polish is that there is no harsh line to it that you could mess up. Here I applied two coats of the base color and two coats of the glitter polish.  I really like the way it turned out and I will probably wear this on my nails again :P

What are you wearing on your nails this week?

Nail of the day - After Eight

Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 600 After Eight

Top Coat: Kiko Fancy Top Coat nail laquer

Basecoat: p2, Intensive Nail! Hardener

I put on two coats of After Eight before putting on a single coat of the Fancy Top Coat by Kiko. The glitter top coat is overpowering the green base big time. I had not intended for it to be like that and now that I know how this polish applies I would prefer to pair it with other base colours. Nevertheless I like the effect it gives because you can still tell it is definitely silver glitter and it does not appear too be colourful. 

What are you wearing on your nails right now?

Septmeber Drugstore HAUL - Swatches

Somehow this turned into a pretty pink haul ;)
I have been to the drugstore a few times this September and wanted to share some of things I got with you today. I love reading about or watching other people's hauls and I hope you will enjoy mine as well:

essence studio nails better than gel nails top sealer high gloss

This is the third or fourth time I bought this top coat and I will do it again. It makes a significant difference in how long my nail polish lasts and I love the shine it brings to my nails. It truly gives a 'high gloss' finish. 

labello Lip Butter Blueberry Blush

I have wanted to buy this for sooooo long! I own a lot of lip balms so I had resisted buying another one for a long time  - but ultimately I caved in. I love the texture, it is like nothing I have ever tried before. It does not help as much with chapped lips like Carmex does but it still does help and sometimes the consistency just feels lighter on the lips.

toothbrush travel case

I know this is not the most interesting purchase of the day but it is something I should have bought a long time ago. I simply never thought of buying it when I was at the store.

Catrice Glamour Doll volume mascara

This is a repurchase. I really like the natural but still volumizng effect it gives to my lashes. In addition to that it is a rather cheap drugstore product!

Catrice Limited Edition Metallure lip colour C03 Alluring Red

I have been eyeing this collection for a while now - the packaging is simply amazing! I love red lip colours but I already own a lot of them. This colour in particular looks a lot lighter on the lips than I expected it to be but I still enjoy the colour. 

L'oréal Paris Elivital Nutri-Gloss Crystal Shampoo

I have never tried a L'oréal hair product before and I have heard great their more professional lines. I am so very excited to try it since I do not think I have ever used a shampoo with glitter in it before! The packaging looks amazing, does it not?

I am sorry this has turned out to be such a long post but I hope you have enjoyed the many pictures I included. 

Have you ever tried any of these products?

Thanky for reading!

Nail of the Day - September 2014

Manhattan Bonnie Strange 006

Basecoat: p2, Intensive Nail! Hardener
Topcoat: essence, studio nails, better than gel nails, top sealer

I have a general obsession with dark red nail polish but this week I am wearing one I have not talked about before! Actually it is more purple than red but because the color is so dark it is hard to tell. I put on three coats (as always) to help the color stay on better but two coats would have been perfectly opaque. I like how settle the shimmer is- when there is no direct light you can hardly tell. I hardly wear anything than red in the colder moths and this one will surly be on my nails more than once this year!

What are you wearing on your nails at the moment? Do you have an all time favorite red?

Thanks for reading :)
