New Essence Glitter :)

Hi everybody!

Today I finally tried my new Essence Glitter Topcoat I brought from Germany and I am pretty happy with it ;) But judge for yourself!!

Polishes I used:

• O.P.I. - Skull And Glossbones
• Essence Special Effect Topper - 13 Mrs And Mr Glitter
• Wet n Wild Megalast - Disturbia

In all of my flash-pictures Disturbia actually looks way more blue than it is is real life. Actually it´s a very plum polish - dark and beautiful with a bit of a hidden shimmer.

Here you can see it´s actual colour a little better:

I started with painting all of my nails with 2 coats of Skull And Glossbones - btw one of my most loved O.P.I. polishes ever! It is so damn pretty :)

After I painted the plum polish in 2 coats on my middlefinger and ringfinger and topped the rest of my nails with the Essence Glitter.

It is made of yellow-goldish, blue and black big hexagonal glitter pieces. A little tricky to paint an even coat, you have to fish a little for the glitter and drag it around, but for me it wasn´t a huge problem :)

I really like how the manicure turned out ^^

Enjoy the rest of your week!!!

New Year Gradient

Happy 2013 everybody!!!

I hope you had a great change of the years and celebrated with friends and/or family like me :)

For our new years party I wanted a nail design fitting to my top, which was black, grey and white.

So... I created a gradient with a LOT of glitter, party sparkle ^^

Polishes I used:

• Flormar - No. 392
• Wild and Crazy - Anchorage
• Essence - 142 I´m the Boss!
• Sally Hansen Insta Dri - 24 Night Flight

I started with 2 coats of a silvery glitter polish (Flormar) with very fine milled holographic glitter.
Prettty ;)

After I picked up my make-up sponge and painted on 4 different polishes.

Silvery-glitter (same color as above), shiney light grey, sparkly dark grey and black.

Then I sponged on the color-mix on my nails.

After I painted over a little of the glitter which I started with and sealed everything with a topcoat to blend the colors together.

I hope you will have a happy new year and will paint your nails like CRAZY :D

Glitter All Around

Hi again!

Have you had a nice christmas time? 

I really enjoy to be with my family and to see a few of my friends again.

Yesterday I spend a whole day with my best friend and brought around 50 polishes to her place ;) So we spend a lot of our time with talking about nail art and I ended up painting her any my nails.

And somehow we both choose glitter ^^

1) My Manicure

Polishes I used:

• Wild & Mild - 1$ Bill
• Essence Nail Art Special Effect Topper - 10 Glorious Aquarius

I used 2 coats of the soft mint polish and on top one coat of the turquoise glitter. It is btw an amazing glitter topcoat with multiple sized turquoise glitter particles, holographic glitter and copper hexagon glitter.

My Friend´s Manicure

• China Glaze - Hello Gorgeous
• Essie - A Cut Above
• China Glaze - Sweet Hook

I used Sweet Hook as a base coat and then started to create a soft gradient with Sweet Hook. To make the effect a little bit more bling I painted on a tiny layer of A Cut Above. The glitter particles are way bigger and made the gradient more stand out.

Enjoy the last day of 2012 :)

31 Day Challenge 2012 - Day 18: Half Moons

Welcome Back!

Wow, I finnished my nails before it turned dark today ^^ I am a little sad that I am so late every day, I post always between number 28 and 35 and most likely nobody reads it any more... should have prepared designs in advance *sigh*

But since I am always so dead after work I am happy to get ONE manicure done :D

Polishes I used:

• China Glaze "Strawberry Fields"
• Flormar Nail Art Polish 
• Essence "Make It Golden"

I started with painting my nails 2 coats of the cute pink China Glaze polish. I really like this one because it as such a beautiful hidden golden shimmer :)

After I applied one coat of the golden glitter on top which created a nice effect and made the golden shimmer even more visible.

In the end I used my golden nail art pen to create freehand a half moon manicure and some random loops to make it look more filigran.

I think it looks pretts nice - what do you think? :)

And in artificial light to be able to show you all the hidden shimmer :)

See you wednesday for day 19 already!

Accessorize Polish - Mink & Essence - Make It Golden

Moi :)

Today I wanted to show you the 2nd polish I bought from Accessorize. Its a very nice taupe colour and I liked it a LOT.

I wore it 2 days just on its own in 2 coats - which is seldom for me to have JUST a normal polish without a design or anything ;)

After 2 days the tips were pretty creepy, so I used one more coat to repair it mostly and added a very nice golden glitter, Essence - Make It Golden.
