Hello lovely ladies!

I was in the mood for some holographic polish, but didn’t want one that was too strong. So, I decided to go with A-England’s Tristam. Tristam is part of The Mythicals Collection.

Battle of the Top Coats

Hello lovelies!

Last week, I already shared some of my experiences with several base coats. In that post, I already told you of my chipping problem. And top coats need to prevent chipping and should prolong your mani. So, today it's time for a comparison of a few top coats!

I'm going to compare:
- Essence Quick dry top coat
- Seche Vite
- Sally Hansen Insta-Dri
- HK Girl top coat

Battle of the Base Coats

Hello lovely ladies!

I am 'blessed' or 'cursed' (that depends on the way you look at it) with very oily nails. That makes that my nail polish chips very easily. Sometimes it even comes off as a whole!

My nail polish chips and comes off as a whole. Very annoying!

When I'm lucky my mani lasts for 2 or three days. Sometimes my mani is already damaged severely after only one day. So, I have a very hard time making my mani's last longer. Therefore, I tried many different base coats. Now I think it is time to share my experiences with you.

I am going to compare:
- Hema* base coat
- Hema 2-in-1 ridge filler & base coat
- Essence protecting base coat
- Essence peel-off base coat
- Essence 24/7 nail base
- Essence All in one complete care
- China Glaze Strong adhesion base coat
- HK Girl Stuck on blu

China Glaze Petal to the Metal

Picture Polish Hope

Hello lovelies!

Last weekend I went for dinner (sushi) with some fellow nail polish addicts. After doubting for a long time about with polish to put on my nails, I decided to go with Picture Polish Hope.

Black and white with a pink accent

Hi everyone!

Unfortunately I was very busy this week, so I wasn't able to post as much as I liked. So, this week there will be one post less than usual. Hopefully next week everything will be back to normal!

Today I'd like to share a stamped mani I did just recently. I figured that the black and white might go well with a glittery contrasting shade. Inspired by our bathroom, which is black and white with bright pink accents, I decided to go for a glittery pink nail polish as accent.

China Glaze Givers Theme

A galaxy mani featuring Gravity

Hi all!

Last week I showed you Picture Polish Gravity. I also did a review of the Bundle Monster CYO set.
Gravity really felt like some sort of galaxy and I couldn't wait to use my Bundle Monster set. One plus one makes two, and here's what I came up with.

Picture Polish Gravity stamped with
Sinful Colors Snow me white.
The designs are from BM610.

Bundle Monster Create Your Own

Hi everyone!

In my second Shoplog you could already see that I bought the Bundle Monster Create Your Own (in short: CYO) stamping set. Here is the full review.

Bundle Monster CYO

Those stamping plates were made of designs sent in by very creative ladies.
This set is only available as a whole. That was no problem for me personally, but I can imagine that you don't want all the plates.

Well, let's have a look at all the plates!

Picture Polish Gravity

Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to show a Limited Edition polish from PiCture POlish. Let's have a look at Gravity.

Picture Polish Gravity

A friend of mine asked: "Is that some sort of chameleon polish?"
I only can say, "Yes it is!"

Depending on the light your nails are in and the angle from which you are looking at it, this polish shifts colour.
