Dupe Or No Dupe? Punk Purple vs. Wrapped Around My Finger

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

Another "Dupe Or No Dupe?"! :) I bought this Catrice polish at work last week and it actually never really stood out for me. I guess because the color is pinkish and I thought this was another polish I already had. Last week I was in the need to buy a polish at work again and since I own most Catrice polishes I just picked this one :P

E.L.F. - Punk Purple and Catrice - Wrapped Around My Finger

On the picture these 2 don't really look the same, but in real life they do. The colors aren't really color accurate either, but I bet you can find swatches online. I've used Punk Purple in my Punk Princess Nails post before.

You can see the difference between them. Punk Purple is a bit more purple and Wrapped Around My Finger is more pink. That's what you'll see in real life as well. If you own one of these you don't need the other polish, because nobody would notice it's another polish.

Thanks for reading! :)

Pink Wednesday; Swap Swatches

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

A few weeks ago I did a swap with Iris from PolishAmor. Thank the lord she got the package, so a weight fell off my shoulders :P Like seriously, when I see these programs on TV where they check packages at the airport I'm scared they will do it to my package too. Since I'm still not really sure if it's legal to send nail polish... :P

Anywho.. She got me some pink polishes too. I don't have the box with polishes close to me at the moment, so I can't tell if these were the only three xD

This first one is Sinful Colors - Folly. This picture isn't really color accurate, but I can tell you it's gorgeous!

When I wrapped this second one open I was like; my mom is gonna love this bottle. My mom came into the room, looked at the polishes I already opened and she was like; Ooh, I like that bottle!
I didn't say anything :P This is Naby in the color (I believe) Rose. I never heard of this brand before, but it is a really nice polish! And of course the color is gorgeous too! I wore this one for like 3 days.

This third one is Wet 'N Wild's Tickled Pink. I don't really know why this one was on my witslist. I have a few pinks like this already. Still I like this kind of pink!

Which of these 3 is your favorite? Let me know in the comments! :)

Untrieds Day 2: China Glaze - Traffic Jam

Today's untried is another one from Nory. I almost bought this one myself, but I succeeded in not ordering polishes before I got Nory's package.

This polish is quite interesting... At first I was like; Oh, that's a nice darker pink polish! Until I went to the kitchen later at night to find out the color completely changed. It now was some kind of pink/purple and totally not looking like it looks in the picture. 22

This was just one coat and really messy! :P

Pink Wednesday: Not So Pink

Today some little bit of nail art again. It's really easy, but I kinda failed a bit as usual.

I painted my middle finger black and put striping tape in the middle of my nail. I put 2 more pieces on the left and 2 more on the right. Then I applied some pink and purples. To stay in these colors I randomly painted my other finger nails in the colors I used on my middle finger.

For this nail art I was inspired by the wall in front of me :P

Day 7 - A Polish That I Wear Often [Miss Sporty - 360] [+ Pink Wednesday]

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

Make it 'used to wear often'. Since my nail polish stash got bigger and bigger I wear so many different colors. But this used to be my favorite and I even have a back up of it. This is Miss Sporty Lasting Colour: 360.

I'm horrible at describing colors, but I would say this is a warm pale pink I guess :P Especially when you compare it with Something Sweet from China Glaze.

And excuse me for the white dry fingers... When I swatched this polish it was like 3 am or something :P I removed my old polish, with a remover without acetone, and it makes my fingers so dry. Next time I'll just use the one with acetone again.

Here is a comparison with Something Sweet. See how warm 360 looks next to Something Sweet? That's why I love it! :)
 

Do you have any Miss Sporty polishes? These are probably my favorite when it comes to applying nail polish :)

Pink Wednesday: Sugar Flakes

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

Okay, I have 9 minutes before it's midnight and I really want it up on Wednesday :P

After finding out an hour ago it's Wednesday I had to come up with something! I had an idea in mind, but actually changed it into this simple thing :P

I painted my nails with 2 coats of China Glaze Sugar High and on top of it I applied my new matte top coat from Gosh. It takes forever to dry so I had to 2 one nail over.

Since that's a bit boring I decided to add 2 coats of a flakie polish from Golden Rose. This is number 09.

I wanted to see what it would look like with the matte top coat, so applied that over it again. I like how it came out!

While editing these pictures for this post I noticed that the flakies look purple on the pictures, but in real life they're actually orange and green! No matter what angle I look at my nails, the flakies are orange :P

And I wanted to thank everybody who's following me :) I just hit 81 followers! I know it's because of the giveaway, but I hope you'll stay with me after it :P

Thanks for reading!

Pink Wednesday: Pink Ribbon Inspired

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

This is my first Pink Wednesday and I love the idea of it. I love Mean Girls! xD

I wore this mani yesterday, later on the day because for some reason I thought it was Wednesday. I went to go get something from Pink Ribbon and found this bracelet. I don't like it as much as last years, but it is a great inspiration for something on my nails.
I also bought a nail polish from Etos (local drugstore) and it's also for Pink Ribbon. When I came home I painted my nails with this color and went to look for my water decals.
This is what I made:

I failed at placing them in the middle and they were a bit too short, but whatever. It's still nice! :)

Thanks for reading again :)
