Wham! Pow! Warhol is Almost Famous!

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

Well, hello there!

Now that my nail polishes are finally hanging on the wall, it's a little easier to find polishes I want to use for a little nail art.

The title pretty much gives away what polishes I used for this. I started with a white base color from Catrice, Snow Motion. I only wanted neon pink tips, so used Color Club's Warhol for that. I decided I'd like some orange with it and used Wham! Pow! for that. I wanted to see if you could stamp with Almost Famous and I find that it worked. It didn't really keep it's own color, but it does fit nice if you ask me :P I used image plate m65 for the stamp.

Of course the topcoat made it all streak again, while I waited for a really long time to apply it. I used O.P.I. topcoat that the sweet Nory got me :)


I think I might have found the setting on my camera where it shows a bit more color, perfect for neons. This isn't really color accurate, but it's way better than the washed out colors.

Galaxy Nails!

You may have seen this mani on Vampy Varnish (thank you so much!) but now I'm showing you here. I was so excited about these, I just couldn't wait to post them here!


The first time I tried galaxy nails was August 19th to be exact :P I did these October 11th and I think I improved if I may say so.



Of course a matte look again. I love everything matte with my Gosh matte topcoat :P


I love how you can still see the glitters when it's matte.



Here's a list of the polishes I used:
- Essence Multi Dimension - Midnight Rocker
- Miss Sporty Lasting Color - nr. 30
- Etos Effect Nails - nr. 09
- China Glaze - Ahoy!
- Catrice - Blues Brother Vol. II
- Catrice - Forget Me Not
- Catrice - Lucky In Lilac
- China Glaze - Fairy Dust

I actually have no idea why I am holding a bottle of China Glaze (I think it's it Crimson)

Do you like these galaxy nails, or even in general? And have you ever tried them? Let me know! :)

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?

Zombie Fishnet Stockings

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

I couldn't think of a nice name for this :P I thought this would be nice, since I wanted it to be something for Halloween again.

I started with China Glaze High Hopes as my base color. This color is not 100% accurate in any of these pictures, because my camera can't capture it. At the end I'll show you what it actually looked like.


I used Konad image plate m57 again for the fishnet print and again I used Color Club Black for the stamping.


I sponged on the same black color starting from the cuticles up. In real life this actually looked kinda cool, so you could leave it like that if you're going out on Halloween. But if that will do any good to your cuticles and/or nails...


I cleaned up and added a topcoat and I was finished!

And since everything looks nicer when blurred;


And here is how much I had to edit my pics to make High Hopes look a little more like it looks in real life.



Thanks for reading!

EDIT: For this I actually was inspired again on Tumblr. I just found the picture again! Click here! :)

Gradient Nails - Pink to Black

A new month, so time for me to do new things. My nail polish collection grew a lot in September, which I will show later today or tomorrow :)

But today I wanted to show you some gradient nails. I love gradient nails! It's easy and everybody can do it!


As my base color I used China Glaze's Ahoy! followed by China Glaze - City Siren, China Glaze - Urban-Night, China Glaze - Crimson and last but not least Color Club - Black.


Sometimes things just look better when they're blurred :P


So since Halloween is coming up, not really celebrated in my country, I decided to stamp skulls on my nails. I love the one with the little bow :P But the one with the crown looks nice too xD


And this last picture is some horror... I never really mind my nails breaking, but I do hate when it happens so far in, because I have to walk around for nails with that and I get stuck on everything!


Thanks for reading again!
