OPI Skull & Glossbones + Silver Shatter



The lovely light grey from OPI`s - Pirates edition. Lovely as in shade and structure ofc. I used 2 thin coats on top of a bc, waited a while to dry completly and then applies a thin layer of Silver Shatter. In the pictures it`s quite clear to see it`s a shatter/crackle polish, but in rl this combo is hardly noticable. I`d rather use it on the pink/purple or on Mermaid's Tears.


Wooptiedoooo today my new phone finally arrived :) I mentioned a while ago I wanted  anew phone as I was about to expand my subscription...but I had the wrong date in mind ggrr so an extra 2 months waiting and now I have it woop! Smasung Galaxy Ace, white edition. I`ve put myself on a quick course of how to use Twitter haha, ow boy do I need training....

Essence - Denim Wanted! collection



Tadaaa...I just had amazing fun :) I thought it would be nice to show you all the entire collection of Essence-Denim Wanted!

These are the 5 polishes that are included in the collection; 01 High Waist pink, 02 I love My jeans, 03 My Boyfriend`s Jeans, 04 Forever Mine and 05 Fivepocket Grey.

01, is more of a coral pink/reddish, extremely strikey, I think 3 layers would be needed to get a nice opaque color.

02, is not entirely black, it has a little silverish shimmer in it. Though you can see that better in the bottle itself then when you apply it.

03, this is what I would call a jeans/denim blue, deep rich color.

04, hmm I`m not sure about this. I`ve read it on someone else`s blog and she mentioned...not seen this color before...I think I share that opinion. It`s almost a neon blue, don`t dislike it, just have to get used to it :)

05, an absolute grey grey...rather a dull grey if you ask me. I wouldn`t wear it like this, I`d Konad a nice purple or red on it, this is too dull for me :)


Nevertheless...5 bottles for about 8.95euros not bad!! Except the pink, the colors glide onto your nails and 2 layers are enough, 02 is okay using just 1 layer!!

Zoya Kelly



Hello!! Meet my new best friend Kelly :)

Hmm...color might apear a little matte in the pictures, but it`s defo shining. I received this polish last week with my order from eNailSupply. It`s from the Wonderful collection.

I looove this color, it`s a deep dark grey, the polish itself is creme-based and glides on your nail. The first layer showed some streaks, but applying the second it all vanished. Dries fast, but since it was on my toes I wanted to be sure and applyed the SecheVite.I would recommend this color to polish-lovers!! and I can`t wait to use it on my handnails and try several Konads on it :)

In the picture I`m wearing a Sally Hanson double duty base-coat, 2 thick layers of Kelly and topped it with SecheVite. ( only this foot....cause I have Edyta on the other one )

Koh - Baby Grey



This is my first polish from Koh and I think he will get some friends soon ;) Koh is originally from Herome, which is a dutch brand. It`s being sold in Amsterdam at the Bijenkorf in a flag-ship store and in at Douglas all over the Netherlands, as far as I know but correct me if I`m wrong ofc. Koh is a very delicate line of 120 different colors  from sheers to shimmers, to cremes and even holos. Koh-cosmetics has a website, but only the dutch version has an online-shop. Polishes are being sold for 14,95euros each, 10ml. I strongly suggest to watch the colors rl cause some just don`t apear good on photo`s :S ooww and good thing to know, they pack each polish in an individual cute box :)

I bought this color cause it just called me from the rack really :) It`s called Baby Grey nr 229 and as I understood it`s from their latest new selection with other "baby" /soft/pastel colors. Amongst them there is a yellow, beige, pink, blue and a nude.

I love this color for the little shimmer/glitters in it, they`re pink and makes the grey look really cute!! I`n the picture I wear 2 layers without a base-coat, but I did apply SecheVite afterwards. I had fake nails before...type; extreme too long and this cute color didn`t really look good on it, I love it on my short nails :)

Bourjois




9, a dark purple shimmer, A very dark purple, almost eggplant, only on short nails ;)

13, a pink highly shimmer, A very bright pink, rich color. Love it on short nails.

28, a grey creme "love" been looking so long for a nice grey, without shimmers...and not silverlike at all, and this is it! Works perfect with Konad-set as well!

 All of these have the so called " fan effect brush" and its awsome!!!. The color just glides onto your nail in 1 stroke. The polish itself, of all 3, is very very good, Dries nice, no streaks. I do find them a bit expensive, but when I picked the colors it was just what I was looking for, totally worth it.
