Untrieds Day 20: Catrice - Sing: Hey, Dirty-Lilah!

Brand: Catrice
Name: Sing: Hey, Dirty-Lilah!
Finish: Creme
Yay or nay: Yay!

I love grey polishes! This one is with a lilac undertone and it reminds me of Essence's Got A Secret. They don't look that much a like though.

Bloody Hell nails

* * * Make sure to check out my giveaway! * * *

This is just something random I did like a week ago. I wanted to try out this fan nail art brush :P I still don't know the use of it xD

I painted my nails with a dark grey, Miss Sporty Lasting Colour nr. 420. Over that I sponged Catrice's ASHley and Color Club's Black. I put some red nail polish on a paper, China Glaze's City Siren, dipped the fan brush in it and dragged it over my nails :P This is the result.

I have to say I kinda dig it... xD I wanted to see what it looked like matte, so used the Matte Effect top coat from Gosh.

Which one do you like better? The shiny or matte one?

Day 6 - A Polish I've Never Worn [Color Club - Nouveau Vintage/Snakeskin]

* * * Make sure to check out my giveaway! * * *

You may have seen this post yesterday, because I failed typing the right date :P

For this day I actually had quite a few polishes to choose from. I picked two, both from Color Club. I picked these, because of 2 reasons:
1. I wanted to have them so badly and when I had them I never even looked at it.
2. Looking at the bottle they look a lot like each other.
I can tell you that that last one is far from true when on the nails.

Here I have Nouveau Vintage for you. In the bottle this looks really green, but is completely different on the nails. It's a really sheer polish, so I'm wearing three coats. It has kind of a bronze base and has green, red, blue, yellow, green and orange micro shimmer in it. The green and red are most noticeable in real life.

See how green it looks in the bottle?

This is Snakeskin. It doesn't even come close to the color of Nouveau Vintage. In these pictures it looks kinda metallic silver, but in real life it looks like what you see in the bottle of Nouveau Vintage. This one has gold micro glitter in it which looks really pretty! In the pictures this one looks really streaky, but in real life it doesn't. I'm wearing two coats.

Just an unnecessary comparison :P

Which one do you like better? Do you have any of these polishes? Leave me a comment below :)

Thanks for reading!

Day 1 - My Favorite Nail Polish [Catrice - London's Weather Forecast]

* * * Make sure to check out my giveaway! * * *

I was thinking; what is my favorite nail polish? Could be something pink, but I didn't want a pink one to be my favorite. After almost picking a pink polish as my favorite I remembered that another polish is my favorite! :O
Catrice - London's Weather Forecast! In October 2010 is when my nail polish addicted started and this was the first polish I picked when buying my first polishes. I've loved it ever since. And when my nail polish stash wasn't as ''big'' as it is now this was one I came back to a lot.

Since September London's Weather Forecast got discontinued and a new grey polish came into the collection; ASHley. I've heard it was similar to London's Weather Forecast.

ASHley, London's Weather Forecast, ASHley, London's Weather Forecast

No. Not the same. London's Weather Forecast is a dark grey polish with silver and a few red and blue shimmers. ASHley is a lighter creme grey polish. I like it, but I have another grey polish that I love better :P

In all pictures I'm wearing 2 coats of polish.

Well, I completed day 1 of this challenge and I am convinced I will end this challenge :P

How To: Striped Mani

Hey you!

Today I'm gonna show you a striped mani, but just on 1 nail. I like accent nails so on 1 hand it's my ring finger and on my other hand my index finger.

Vandaag laat ik een gestreepte mani zien, maar alleen op 1 nagel. Ik hou echt van 'accent' nagels, dus op mijn ene hand is dat mijn ringvinger en op m'n andere hand mijn wijsvinger.

Above picture shows you the result. As the title says it was my first try and to be honest; It's not that bad! :P

Hierboven zie je het resultaat. Zoals de titel zegt was het mijn eerste poging en om eerlijk te zijn; Het is niet zo slecht! :P

Three days ago I painted my nails in the well known color For Audrey from China Glaze. My mom doesn't know anything about nail polish or the names or whatever, but she loves this color! xD

Drie dagen geleden lakte ik mijn nagels in de bekende kleur For Audrey van China Glaze. M'n moeder weet niks van nagellak of de namen ervan of iets dergelijks, maar ze vind deze kleur geweldig! xD

I think this polish was opaque in 2 layers, but it could also be 3 layers. Anywho, today I thought I could try this striped mani over this color anyways since it wasn't that chipped. Which is weird, because I did work all day Wednesday and only my index finger had some obvious chips.

I got my striping tape out and applied that on my nail.

Volgens mij was de lak dekkend in 2 laagjes, maar het kunnen er ook 3 zijn. Vandaag bedacht ik me dat ik deze gestreepte mani net zo goed over deze nagellak kon doen, want de nagellak was niet zo erg aan het chippen. Wat trouwens raar is, want ik heb woensdag wel de hele dag gewerkt en alleen m'n wijsvinger was wat beschadigd.

Ik pakte mijn striping tape erbij en plakte dat over mijn nagel.

A nice combination would be blue and grey, maybe because of the rainy weather, so I got my favorite AND first bought nail polish and applied that. I used 2 coats of Catrice's  London's Weather Forecast.

Een leuke combinatie leek blauw en grijs, misschien door het regenachtige weer, dus pakte ik mijn favoriete EN eerst gekochte nagellak en lakte die eroverheen. Ik gebruikte 2 laagjes van Catrice's London's Weather Forecast.

After about 10-15 minutes I slowly pulled off the tape. I did apply a fast drying topcoat after I applied the tape. I was kinda scared to take it off, but the result wasn't that bad. Just a little damage at the top of the nail, which you can't really see on the picture :P

Na zo'n 10-15 minuten trok ik de tape er langzaam vanaf. Ik had trouwens wel een sneldrogende topcoat op gedaan nadat ik de tape opplakte. Ik vond het een beetje eng om de tape eraf te trekken, maar het resultaat was niet zo slecht. Een kleine beschadiging aan de bovenkant van mijn nagel, wat je niet goed ziet op de foto :P

 I hope you liked to see this and thanks for reading!

Ik hoop dat je het leuk vond om te zien en bedankt voor het lezen!
