Color Club – Miss Bliss

Friday, August 16th, 2013

I found some old photos of this polish that I hadn’t posted yet, so here it is today for Kerstin’s Holo Friday. Color Club Miss Bliss is the pink shade from the Halo Hues collection that came out this year. The color isn’t very special or original at all, but the pretty rainbows makes it well worth having. I don’t remember how many coats I applied but I would guess three. I really like the formula on these polishes, there are no bald spots whatsoever!

Here it is in the sun:

And photo of it in the shade:

It’s a little deeper in the tone than Halo-Graphic from the 2012 Halo Hues collection, so if you don’t have any of those I would recommend this one.

On Monday I’ll be back at work, and I sure will miss being free all day long. Ah well, nothing lasts forever.. Except my love for holographic polishes =D

China Glaze – Infra Red

Friday, May 10th, 2013

This Holo Friday I have another Hologlam polish to show you, this time with more color than last week. Infra Red is a gorgeous deep magenta color with a beautiful linear holographic effect. I applied two coats of this for full opacity.

This is what it looks like in the sun:

It still looks wonderful in the shade thanks to the rich base color:

This may very well be my favorite from the collection! That’s probably not a surprise since I absolutely love QT from the OMG collection. They’re definitely not dupes but they are both dark pinks which I have a weakness for.

And with this I wish you all a wonderful weekend! I hope there will be more sun so I can photograph some more nice holos soon =)

My Birthday Manicure

Sunday, May 5th, 2013

How about some nail art this beautiful Sunday? I rarely have something to contribute to Lela’s NailArt Sundays, but today I had something in my stash. This manicure was something I did for my birthday party back in April. I have now turned 30, does that mean I’m a grown up now? Hell no!  =)

The base is three coats of China Glaze Dance Baby, and then I made irregular spots with the dark pink Traffic Jam using a dotting tool. I then followed up with Black Creme from Wet n Wild along the edges of Traffic Jam. On top of that I applied Poshé topcoat. I’m quite pleased with this manicure, even if it was made in a hurry. On the index finger nail you can see that it got a little stringy, it was probably because the polish had dried a little too much when I applied it with the dotting tool.

The manicure is a little worn here as I took the photos after a couple of days.

I did have some inspiration for this manicure:

What is it? It’s one of the coolest pair of shoes I own, Pink Friday from Iron Fist:

Pink and leopard print, can it get any better? I love these shoes! Though my feet didn’t love them after a few hours…

Valentine’s Day Manicure

Thursday, February 14th, 2013

Today is Valentine’s Day, so I’ve made a tiny effort to use my stamping plates for once. I wanted to go with a pink base, so I applied three thin coats of Orly Basket Case. It’s a gorgeous hot pink creme that’s been standing in my Helmer way too long without being tried. I chose a heart design from the Konad plate M3, and I used China Glaze Millennium (a beautiful silver chrome) for the stamping. For top coat I used Poshe. I still haven’t really decided if I like it better than Seche Vite or not. My gut is still in love with Seche..

The hearts ended up too far to the edge of the nail, but I didn’t have time to redo it so it’ll have to do =) And since I don’t have access to any light during the weekdays I had to take the photos with flash.

How about a hunk for Valentine’s Day? Can you say no to this guy’s invite?

Aaah I wanna go rub his belly now!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Zoya – Kimber

Wednesday, November 14th, 2012

I’m still digging through photos from the past year to edit for the blog, it’s nice to have something to fall back on when there’s hardly any light to photograph in these days. Here’s a polish that I wore a few months back, the beautiful Kimber from Zoya’s Surf Collection. From what I can tell the color is a mix of coral, red and pink, and it’s filled with orange/golden shimmer. I don’t remember the number of coats, but if I would guess it’s probably my usual three with Seche Vite on top.

Just look at that beautiful shimmer!

China Glaze – Dance Baby

Sunday, October 28th, 2012

Hi, it’s been a while.. I haven’t had time for blogging for quite a while but now I’m trying to catch up a little. It’s still October so I thought I would post something pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I happened to have some photos of Dance Baby from the Electropop collection. And I have to say that I’m in love with this cool bubblegum pink creme! It applied nicely with two coats, and it’s a gorgeous shade that stands out in my collection.

These photos were taken in natural light, with no sun:

NailArt Sunday – Wicked Baby Tiger

Sunday, September 2nd, 2012

After seeing all the lovely nail art manicures that pop up every Sunday thanks to Lela’s NailArt Sundays, I thought I’d try to come up with something as well for this Sunday. The base is China Glaze Wicked Style, and I did a simple gradient with the light pink Dance Baby on the tips, using a sponge. When that was done I had no idea what to do next.  After some fails on my right hand I decided to just do some simple stripes with a black Ink Nail Art polish from NYX. One coat of Seche Vite, and then it was done!

I really like this, and I’ll be sad to see it go. But I’ll probably do something like this again in the future.

China Glaze – Wicked Style

Sunday, September 2nd, 2012

Wicked Style from the Electropop collection is some kind of warm bright pink, and I had serious problems with getting the color to show up correctly in the photos. So what you see here is not 100% accurate. I applied three coats to get an even coverage, and then Seche Vite on top as usual.

In real life the color is a tad more lighter.

Anyway, it’s a very beautiful pink creme.

Color Club – Electro Candy

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012

I bought four of the polishes from the Electro Candy collection over a year ago, but for some reason I hadn’t tried any of them out yet. I figured they were a bit sheer, so under two coats of the pink Electro Candy I have two thin coats of the nude colored Pandora from Zoya. I didn’t get any good photos of Pandora on its own so that’ll have to wait until another time. Both of the polishes dried pretty fast.

Electro Candy is a gorgeous shimmery neon pink with a flash of light blue/turquoise shimmer. There was no sun that day so the photos look a bit dull:

The shimmer looks mostly silver here, but you can see the blue flash in the bottle.

The last photo is taken inside with flash:

This is such a gorgeous polish, why did I wait so long to try it?

Edit 24 August: Seems I got the date wrong when I published this post, it should have been the 22nd and not 8th, so it got buried with older posts.

China Glaze – QT

Friday, August 3rd, 2012

Finally I’m posting something for Kerstin’s Holo Friday! Here’s an old favorite of mine, the gorgeous dark pink QT from the now legendary OMG! collection. I wore this a while back, but I’m pretty sure I settled with three coats as I usually do. A dark hot pink holographic polish, can it get any better?

Here’s a few shots of this beauty in the sun:

Such a beautiful polish!
