I stole the photosz!!

Meh...my camera isn't working as it supposed to and I really wanted to make a post. So all the photos in this post are not mine!! I'll give a link/courtesy of the owner below the photos, but I wanted to share good stuff with you :)

First...I'd like to share my latest Konad plate with you sweeties. The first time I saw this plate it was on Spellbinding Nails , and I fell in love instant actually. It has sweet birds, cupcake/ice-cream/candy, a little animal and stars!!

Look at that!! The only problem was..ordering it :S That was a real pain. Several internet shop UK based used to have it, but all were sold out, even on Amazon. I ordered it through the same shop as where I found the image from and the price incl shipping costs ended at about 20euros...yes for 1 image plate. That's..like...insane!! But I am glad I have it in my collection ;)

Second... I have a couple of new polishes yay!!! With big help from my sister in law :) She was in London for a couple of days and she texted me if I wanted something. She was too kind, cause she brought back Illamasqua Scorn & Baptiste, Nails Inc Whitehall (magnetic) and Filthy Gorgeous Got the Blues (magnetic). As I babysitted my little cousin last Saterday I was given the polishes and I'm sooo happy. ( not only did I get the polishes, but she gave me a new haircut as well, she's a hairdesigner. I had an amazing day!! )  The colors are gorgeous and I hope to show my own photos real soon!

Right now I'm wearing Illamasque Scorn. I used Konad Q1 to stamp the birdies on both my thumbs and the other 8 fingers have Konad M57 leopard. As for the stampingpolish I used China Glaze Poetic...which I think is one of the best stamping polish from my own polishes!! I should try get other shades from that collestion :)

Dear Sally...

can you pwetty plsss sell you fabulous Salon Manicure polishes in my country as well!! I love them so much...the lovely colors, the structure of the polish, the brush aahhh *sigh*....

This is 2 coats of Fedora, for stamping I`ve used red Konad color.

little Konading in the morning :)

A quick mani before I have to cycle to the train for some shopping with mommy.

I`ve used 2 layers of Barry M Mint Green 304 and stamped it with my latest purchase on Konad plates with OPI Louvre Me, Louvre Me Not. As you can see I`m still standing in the bathroom, that's why I haven't cleaned my cuticles yet :)

little Amsterdam haul O_o

Ooeehh what a rainy day on Thuesday...luckely I had the day off. I already made some plans of going to Amsterdam by train ( which is just a little over an hour from here ) and visite some shops that I like. So no comic or electronic shops....just beauty shops :) Even though sale has started, I wasn`t in need of clothes or shoes...couldn't even get tempted to visit those shops...I just had fun among the beauty products :)

First stop was the Koh - flagship store at Bijenkorf...wow they have such nice/friendly staff, the corner always looks very tidy and you feel very welcome and helped. I went home with Essential nail serum, 131 Glamourous Purple! and a bag filled with their lovely samples which included; bath powder sensation, body scrub sensation, body oil sensation, shower foam sensation and cream soap sensation. I heared and read so many good things about these items, specially about the oil. You lit it like a candle and when it turn liquid you can use it as a warm oil to rub on your body...has an amazing scent as well...ooeehh can't wait to try this! They added a little black clutch/bag as promotiongift, I'm sure that'll come out handy!!

Next stop was Lush. Just before xmas my hubby asked me to make a small whishlist cause he had some money "left"  on our budget. I gave him some nice tips and hints and I got amazing presents, but some of those items still circled around in my head :S And visint A'dam I just had to take a visit to Lush as it only has about 5 shops in entire Holland. I picked up 2 kinds of lipscrubs; Lip Dip which has hints of lemon and cranberry and Bubblegum...speaks for itself. What's so funny about this stuff is after you've applied and scrubbed...you just lick your lips and put on some lipbalm. It really works!! I've only used Lip Dip several times now, and I've got such smooooth lips :) I picked out R & B as well, it's a leave in conditioner for your hair. Never heared of it, but as I opened the jar just to smell it, wow I fell in love! I' m gonna try it out tomorrow ;) Picked out these goodies came to a certai amount of euros I was allowed to pick out a goddie from what was left over from the xmas selling at Lush. I asked what the difference was between all...but most contained bathbombing thingies....we don't own a bath :S But!!! Soon I'm going on a tiny weekend away to Brussels and we have a bathroom with bath weeewooo, so i can test em out there ;)

Last but not least I went to several drugstores and scored Pupas nail art kit in silver/purple...ooeehh even got it on discount. My first trip ven to Make Up Store got me a lovely holographic olish called Madeleine, it looks like a pinkish beige. I'll try to make some photo's of it soon. I was lucky to get OPI's Glam Slam set....I don't need the Black Shatter and will keep it aside for a **Give-Away** or a swap as I have a black IsaDora and a Barry M crackle polish. My Konad order came in as well, yay. I have quite small and short nails. So a normal stamp is too big most of the time, which result in the images not being stamped at same spot :S I was wodnering if the two way stamp would work better...soon to find out!! And I got 2 lovely plates as well; M66 & M70  :)

That a lovely Me-day for me, filled with rain and a blister...and stuffed bags :) I will make sure to draw the winner of my latest **Give-Away** before the end of this weekend, and I`ll place up a new **Give-Away** as well!!

Ciate + stamping (BM)

In these photos I`m wearing 2 coats of Ciates - Sharp Tailoring which just glides on my nails, I love the formula and even the brushes of Ciate. A brand I highly recommend. I had luck I bought a package of 3 different colors At Asos for a discounted price, but the brand really caught me and I would surely buy more :) I`ve added some stars using one of the BM plates. For the stamping colors I`ve used red Konad color and the black one is Essence nail art Stampy Polish. I topped it all with Seche Vite.

Tbh...I had to wait a little longer with the red Konad color then with Essence. Has anyone else experienced it as well...Konad stamping colors to me don`t dry that well :S

Catrice + Konad

I`ve done a little Konad  ;)

* First I used Sally Hansen double duty as a base-coat
* 2 layers of Catrice - From Dusk To Dawn 200, I love this brownish mauve
* used Konad image-plate M3 with Konads special nailpolish white to create the stars
* topped it all with SecheVite

My new leopard mani

I love Konad image plate nr 57 :)

This time I`ve used China Glaze - Poetic as a base with 2 layers and I used Gosh 553 - Black Passion with the stamp-set. Base and Top coat both with P2 8in1 Wonder. Mani didn`t take that much time and I think this looks very good, nice shiny with the metallic "background".

My new Essence polishes & Konad

 

Today I've recieved my new Konad imageplate nr 57, which I've order with Boozyshop a dutch online shop. ( Delivery was amazing fast ) I've seen so many manis with this plate I just had to have it, normally I'm not a sucker for animal prints, but this plate really drew my attention.

Earlier this week I had purchased 2 new polishes from Essence. 03 back to paradise which is a dark green with a hint of blue in it.At first I thought it was an extreme dark turquoise, but when applied it it's more dark green with blueish and 04 Fruit punch which is a creamy orange with slight shimmers in it. Both from the Return to Paradise line. I must admit, I didn't really like the colors when I only applied 1 layer, was very streaky so it has to be 2 or even 3 for a nice opaque color.

For this leopard mani...bare with me ;) it's only my first time use of the plate...I've applied the fruit punch in 2 layers, and used back to paradise with the plate. In mani swatches I saw people use a differnt color to fill up the little gaps the stamp will leave, so I thought it would be fun to do as well...I had better not ;) I used Essence nail art freestyle & tip painter in black and silver for it. Topped it with my favorite Sally Hansen double duty and that was it.

Since the main color was orange...and I needed a moisturising cream afterwards I searched through the cabinet and came across Rituals-touch of heaven. An ultra rich whipped body cream fragranced with sweet orange and cedar...makes an ultimate handcream. So now my hands don't look orange..they even smell orange....mmm

( next time I'll clean the excess polish better before taking photo's ;)  )
