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.

Golden Rose Flakies [picture spam]

* * * 4 days left to enter my giveaway! * * *

Sorry for not posting for a few days. I'm just really not in the mood at the moment; girl problems.

I wanted to get some more Golden Rose flakies, but couldn't really find swatches. I finally found a page that showed all of them and I was surprised that all 15 are actually just 4 different flakies!

So if you want to see the 4 different ones, keep on reading.

This is number 04. In real life it looks green most of the time, but in some lighting and angles you can catch a beautiful blue! And sometimes green and blue. Number 04, 06, 11 and 14 are the same ones.

This is number 09. It's an orange/yellow flakie. You see both colors really well in real life. Number 03, 05, 07, 08, 09, 10 and 12 are the same.

This is number 13. You can also win number 13 in my giveaway btw. Number 13 is green/orange. The orange can be yellow at some times too. Number 01 and 13 are the same ones.

The last one is number 15. I think this is the most special one, because it looks kinda rainbow-ish in real life. But on the pictures the blue is really standing out next to the orange and yellow. Number 02 and 15 are the same ones.

Here I have them all next to each other. Number 04, 09, 13 and 15.

Without the flash you actually see them at their best!

From each flakie I used 1 coat and put them over Wet 'n Wild Fantasy Makers Black Cream that I got from Nory.

What do you think of the flakies? Do you have some of these? Or from other brands? And which ones do you recommend? :) I know, lots of questions! :P

Thanks for reading!

Day 9 - Rainbow Nails

My days fly by! :P Skipping day 6, go to day 7, skipping day 8 and go to day 9 in one day! I don't even know if that is a right sentence, but whatever xD I'm excited about this one!

Rainbow nails! This color combination is something that I've used since kindergarten. Well, it actually started when we had to make a stupid decoration that we could connect easily and to make it all nice and neat we had to do red, yellow, green and blue. I changed that later into pink, orange, yellow, green and blue.

I should've made pictures from the beginning, so you could see what it looked like, but I think you get the idea. I just did it really simple; paint my nails pink and from there painting another color higher on my nail. The next day, yes THE NEXT, I applied 5 thin strips of striping tape all over every nail and painted it black. That was more of a drama than I expected it to be.... :P

Later I pulled the tape off and it wasn't really that nice looking, but nice enough that people around me wouldn't see the mess I made xD
At night my nails actually started to look dull, even though I applied a top coat. But my top coat is halfway in the bottle so it's hard to get out of it, so that actually ruins my manicures easily too.

And these three pictures are just for the like :P I like the first 2 of these 3 :)

Day 3 - Yellow Nails

Day 3 of the challenge!! :) Yellow, a color I like to see on others, but wouldn't wear myself. I only have 2 yellows and this is one of them. Essence's Yellow Mellow. The color of a cute little chickie!

Just to change it up a little I wanted to try one of the polishes I bought today. This is a metallic gold from Casuelle. I'm not familiar with this brand, but the polish is okay. Opaque in 2 coats and not streaky.
This combo is a bit of a fail though :P Those colors just do not match!

How To: Paint Splatter Nails!

Hi hi!

This time another first try! Paint splatter nails! I remembered seeing pictures of paint splatter nails and I just thought; Why not give it a try? I painted my nails with a black nail polish. Next I let a little dropped a bit of color fall onto my nail and with a dotting tool I dragged it away, I would say :P For the pink color I used Heli-Yum from China Glaze, for the green one I used Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy from Catrice and for the yellow one I used Yellow Mellow from Essence.

Alweer iets wat ik voor het eerst probeer; Verf spetter nagels! Klinkt beter in het Engels :P Ik herinnerde me dat ik eens foto's zag met verf spetter nagels en dacht; Laat ik het eens proberen! Ik lakte mijn nagels met een zwarte nagellak. Daarna liet ik een druppel nagellak op m'n nagel vallen en met een dotting tool trok ik het zeg maar weg. Voor de roze kleur gebruikte ik Heli-Yum van China Glaze, voor de groene kleur gebruikte ik Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy van Catrice en voor de gele kleur gebruikte ik Yellow Mellow van Essence.

When I saw this result I wasn't very satisfied... It needed a bit of sparkle. I knew I had a purple Essence effect topper I never used before, so I thought I could use that. Not that I like the combination so much, but just so I could show you too :P

Toen ik het resultaat zag was ik nog echt tevreden... Het had wat glitter nodig. Ik wist dat ik nog een paarse Essence effect topper had die ik nog nooit had gebruikte, dus die kwam nu van pas. Niet dat ik de combinatie nou zo leuk vind, maar gewoon zodat ik het je kon laten zien :P

And I made some blurry pictures too to really show the sparkle!

Ik maakte ook nog wat vervaagde foto's zodat je de glitter echt kan zien!

Doesn't that look nice? If I would do this again I would use another kind of glitter polish depending on what colors I used for the splatter.

Here's a picture of the polishes I used.

Ziet dat er niet mooi uit? Als ik dit nog eens zou doen zou ik een andere glitter nagellak kiezen, maar dat ligt aan de kleurtjes die ik dan gebruik voor de spetters.

Hier nog een foto van de kleurtjes die ik gebruikte.
