Swimsuit... Cracked It!

This was something I wanted to try for a pretty long time! Another polish going diagonal over my manicure. I finally did! :P

After wearing O.P.I.'s Swimsuit... Nailed It! for almost 2 days I had some tipwear, so decided I could give it a try :)

I put striping type diagonal over my nails. Then I painted the top part black. Over that I put Carnival Lights from China Glaze and over that I put Essence Crack Me! Silver. I took the striping tape off and then I applied new pieces of striping tape under the diagonal part.

Have you ever done something with striping tape? Let me know! :)

Diamond Cosmetics - Gold Foil

Hello lovely people! :)

Today's swatch is a fun color to me. It's gold! I think this is my first and actually only gold nail polish that I own, so this sentence doesn't really make sense I guess. Just blame the fact that it's past midnight... (usually I start living at that time :P)

This is a nail polish from Diamond Cosmetics and let me tell you it's great! The brush reminds me of China Glaze, which I really had to get used to when I got my first CG, but to me it just painted a little bit more smoother than CG.

Gold Foil is a metallic gorgeous gold color. For these pictures I used 2 coats to get it opaque, but you might even get away with just one. You know how some polishes are very pigmented, but you still need 2 or 3 coats to make it opaque? This is one of them.

The formula is kinda thin, but great to work with! It's not flowing away like water :P In the picture below you can see the micro glitters just sitting there being pretty.. Love it!

And lastly I decided to put the silver Essence crackle polish over it, since I hadn't show you yet. This one crackles so much different than the white one I showed once. I like this one way better!

In the Netherlands you can get Diamond Cosmetics at boozyshop.nl. In America you can order them online at diamondcosmetics.com for only $ 2,50! I believe they only ship in America, so that sucks for the rest... :(

And lastly I wanted to thank Steph from imperfectlypainted for sharing one of my posts in her recent post :)

Thanks for reading,

Color Club - Sex Symbol + Comparison

Today a sexy nail polish swatch of Color Club's Sex Symbol. Okay, not really sexy, but pretty sexy... :P A few days ago I swatched Color Club's Magic Attraction and this one is pretty much the same, but just silver.

Look at that bling bling... :O

Since the swatch of Magic Attraction was a bit rushed I decided I could show you again (on a nail wheel, cause I do not want that on my nails again just for swatching) :P

The first nail shows Magic Attraction, the second nail shows Sex Symbol, the third nail shows What A Drag, the fourth nail shows Sex Symbol over What A Drag and the last nail shows Magic Attraction over What A Drag.

If you don't want to layer Sex Symbol or Magic Attraction 3 or 4 times to get it opaque I recommend you to layer it over a silver polish. I actually think it looks better that way anyways.

I'm not sure, but to me Sex Symbol looks a lot like O.P.I.'s Crown Me Already, but Crown Me Already has chunkier glitters in it.

Color Club - What A Drag

[Insert cheesy greeting]

My second Color Club swatch in a row! So since I only own 3 expect the 3rd one tomorrow :P

M'n tweede Color Club swatch na de andere! Sinds ik er maar 3 heb, kun je de 3de morgen verwachten :P

You see this color? See how silvery it is? It's beautiful! Another silver color I think is beautiful, but have never seen in real life, is China Glaze's Millennium. The difference between these 2 is that Color Club has glitter in it as well. So it's kind of a pain to get this off.

Zie je die kleur? Zie je hoe zilver het is? Zo mooi! Een andere zilveren kleur waarvan ik denk dat die mooi is, maar nooit in het echt heb gezien, is China Glaze's Millennium. Het verschil tussen deze 2 is dat What A Drag er ook nog glitter in heeft. Dus het is best lastig om eraf te krijgen.

The picture above shows some kind of purple undertone or something... I have no idea where that comes from. The only color you'll find in the bottle is silver xD You'll need about 2, 3 coats to get this opaque.

In de foto hierboven zie je iets van een paarse ondertoon ofzo... Ik heb geen idee waar dat vandaan komt. De enige kleur die je in het flesje zal aantreffen is zilver xD Je hebt trouwens zo'n 2, 3 laagjes nodig hebben om het egaal te krijgen.
