Glitter In The Air

* * * Make sure to check out my birthday giveaway here * * *

I love glitter on my nails, but I hate to remove it. I'm too impatient for that one technique where you have to sit down with your fingers wrapped in acetone for like 10 minutes.

So yeah, I didn't wear this manicure, I was just trying out to see what that glitter looks like :P (btw, you can also win that glitter in my giveaway. just saying ;p)

This is Essence's Purplelicious and I swear there was another version of it! My bottle dropped on the floor months ago, but I do think I gave Nory one in our swap. Not sure. But if there was another version of it, I used it in this Paint Splatter mani.

Holo molo! (see what I did there?) I do like this one and I wish it was more opaque. That way you could just wear a holographic glitter polish on it's own.

Okay, I'm ready for the weekend and when you read this I've been working for almost 5 hours and still have to go on for 7!

So, what are you going to do for the weekend? :)

First I got some holographic polishes and from left to right you see;

Believe it or not, but these are my first neon polishes (I think... :P)

The neons are hard to capture, but the last picture is the best I could get :P

Inspired On Tumblr; Zebra Nails

* * * Make sure to check out my birthday giveaway here * * *

As you might know; I use Tumblr. Depending on what kind of stuff you're interested in you can follow tumblelogs that like these things too. I'm interested in anything that has to do with nail polish, so I follow nail polish/nail art and that kind of stuff blogs :P

For this mani I was inspired by this picture.  I didn't want to go for an all nude polish so I went for a little bit of holo with Color Club's Love 'Em Leave 'Em. Over that I stamped with the zebra image from image plate m57. (is it a zebra or tiger print? I still don't know... :P)

When that dried I applied a piece of striping tape and painted the left side black. I immediately took off the striping tape, because applying a topcoat or just waiting for it to dry will pull up the sides and maybe take of your polish under it.

Overall I'm kinda happy with how it looked. I'm looking forward to try more stuff that I've seen on Tumblr :)

If you have a Tumblr, please follow me at fyeahilovenails.tumblr.com :)

Day 3 - A Polish That Makes Me Happy [Nubar - Prize]

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

Is there anybody out there that has a polish that makes them happy? I haven't found mine yet, so I decided to pick a color I haven't shown here before. Nubar - Prize, 3 coats.

This is an interesting polish. It's from the same collection as Jewel and has the same sandy kind of texture to it. It's holographic, but not as much as it looks like in the pictures. It's also not as pink as it looks like in the pictures. In real life it's more on it's way to be a brick color.

Since it has a bit of a 'dry' texture I decided to show different looks of it. In the picture above and in the first one below I'm wearing it without a topcoat.

Here I'm wearing it with a topcoat.

Here I'm wearing it with Gosh's matte topcoat. Still glittery and you still see that in real life.

And here I'm wearing it with a topcoat over the matte topcoat. I hope that's not confusing, but I wanted to see what would happen if I don't like it matte. Is it possible to go back shiny? Yes! :P

And here the 3 looks next to each other.

No topcoat, Matte topcoat, Poshé topcoat

Thanks for reading!

Black Magic Jewel

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

Today is just a really quick post. A few days ago I wore Nubar's Jewel and it started chipping on my the next day already. I was bored and instead of using striping tape I wanted to try scotch tape. The results below :)

The other colors I used were Midtown Magic from China Glaze and Black from Color Club.

Thanks for reading!

Nubar - Jewel

Today's swatch is of my first Nubar polish, Jewel. A Jewel it is!

I am going to try my best to describe this one :P Jewel is brown metallic-ish based and has a different kind of holo than others; small holo glitters with chunky pieces in it.

Here you can see it really well!

And here you can see the texture of it. To me it's kind of sandy or something. I don't think I have a polish like that (or never wore it yet) but I did like it. It's different to me.

In the pictures I wore 3 coats, but the next day I wore it all day and needed 2 coats. I went to the zoo with these nails and the only thing I used my hands for was taking pictures. After a few hours in the zoo they were already chipping off really badly! So yeah, I didn't really like that.

Color Club - Fashion Addict!

This polish was on my wishlist for a while and a few days ago I finally ordered it. I've seen swatches of it, but wasn't expecting too much from it. I was wrong! This polish is so gorgeous! I'm in love...

Doesn't it look super gorgeous? This polish was amazing to work with. It was just perfect. Two thin coats were enough to make it pretty like it is :) Hello holo!

Funny side note: On the site where I got this from it says NO HOLO, while we can see that's a pretty big lie :P

Thanks for reading :)

Color Club - Love 'Em Leave 'Em

Another polish striped off of my wishlist! This time it's Love 'Em/Leave 'Em. I remember seeing this a while ago while going through someone's blog. I wanted to order it immediately. But my favorite web shop didn't sell this one... A few days later I was checking the shop again and it was there! I didn't order it then, because my bank account didn't let me :P But last week I ordered it and I'm so happy with it!

Love 'Em/Leave 'Em is an almost nude, but really holographic nail polish. It's a great polish for work if you're not aloud to wear really OUT THERE colors.

I can seriously not keep my eyes off of it. I like it now, but I think it might grow even more on me when the fall and winter are here.

Oh hey there, holo! :D

I recommend this polish to everybody! It's just so gorgeous... :)

Catrice - Dirty Berry

Today I've got the polish Dirty Berry for you! Like I've told in my previous post; I bought 3 new Catrice polishes and this is the second one I'm showing you. Out of the 3 this is probably my least favorite. I don't really know why, because it seems like a color I would wear. Even more than Forget Me Not.

Vandaag heb ik de lak Dirty Berry voor je! Zoals ik in m'n vorige post vertelde; Ik heb 3 nieuwe Catrice lakjes gekocht en dit is de tweede die ik je laat zien. Van de 3 lakjes is dit misschien mijn minst favoriete. Waarom weet ik niet niet, want het lijkt me een kleur die ik wel zou dragen. Zelfs meer dan Forget Me Not.

The polish has minuscule red, green and blue glitters in it.

De lak heeft piepkleine rode, groene en blauwe glitters erin.

It even looks a bit holographic sometimes! I don't own anything holografic, so this was kind of a new experience :P

Soms ziet het er een beetje holografisch uit! Ik heb geen holografische lakjes, dus dit was een soort van nieuwe ervaring :P

I don't know in which countries you can buy Catrice. I believe it's a German brand, so they sell it there of course. I think it's possible they sell it in Belgium too, but for other countries I honestly don't know. So I'm sorry I'm gonna drive you crazy with Catrice swatches someday xD

Wat in het stukje hierboven in Engels staat is voor jullie niet relevant, want in Nederland is Catrice makkelijk te verkrijgen :) Trekpleister en Kruidvat :P
