Christmas gifts, Explosion mani

And yet again an other mani inspired by one of the designs of nailside! Explosion manicure by Nailside. I love her tape manis! Well for Christmas I tried to do her explosion manicure for a second time. It turned out quite well. Not as nice as hers, but I'm not as practised as she is. And sorry for my tumb :P I do quite like the purple glitter over it tough :P It's opi's Divine Swine. I got for Christmas! I just had to try it right away. 

Used : 

Herome basecoat

Dark grey from Hema long lasting series as base colour

 Essence. 02 sparkling silver for explosions (I really like this silver!) 

And everything worth showing I got for christmas ! 

A care kit from Koh, (from my boyfriend) and a bottle of Catrice - Wear sunglasses at night. And Opi- Divine swine. And some really nice earrings :D 

Blue midnight turn black

With flash and without. Yea the many is already wearing off. I made it last Thursday so that's ehhmmm *counts on her fingers* six day's ago :P It's my B-pretty Dark midnight. A beautiful dark navy blue. But I guess layered over everything except for silver and white it will turn out black. If you look really good, and in certain light it does look blue. But most times its just black. But oh well. It's less hard than a real black. And it turned a bit darker after I added the top coat. Or maybe it just looks like that. Coming weak I'm starting with Christmas colours. God I love Christmas. We will go Christmas shopping in Germany coming Saturday. Looking forward to it!

Ow and look how the cold weather is killing my cuticles. :(

Bad Bad me, (new update)

Yea I'm terrible at keeping track. This way I will never get more followers Right?

Ok I told you guys how happy I was with my first Holo, Metallic Green from Koh. Well to come back from that. It was chipping quite quick. I was a bit angry. So next time I'm going to add an other layer of top coat, it's really foil like and just peals off. To keep it from pealing further, I added black tips. I'm still terrible at tape manies. Sorry

 

and an other B.pretty mani, The red crackles really good to I decided to use the crakle silver base from Essence as my base, witch made the red crackle a little metallic to in some parts. It holds up to 7 days with top coat.. 

And my many for the birthday of my boyfriends dad. I had this red dress with black, and roses jewellery. The base is a red from Helen (hema brand)

The roses are konad (black) and an essence plate, And the black shatter is Crackle from essence. I added some extra detail in the roses with silver base coat essence. afterwards I thought it maybe would have looked better if the roses were silver. I kept it on for 10 days! (with top coat) 

Without flash

Next up Essence, and my 1 euro glitter from paris polish. I never wear the ordenairy essence polishes. I got some (purple, blue and red) Color and Go polishes for my birthday, but I hate them! They are easy to use, but break within a day. And the smell awwww. But well I didn't knew what to do (after trying the purple B.pretty crakle again, witch doesn't work as well as the other two ;_;) 

So I got my box, and dumped it in my bro's lap. He chose the blue, and said it needed some glitter so this came out. With and without flash piccu's 

PINKPOP

My nails for Pinkpop, a bit late, cause it's already over and the mani is dead XD But well better late than never right ??

It's Miss Piggy from Catrice as base a layer of Matte topcoat from Hema, Konad with Hema Red and Konad white. Tips with miss sporty. (to lasy to check the color sorry.)

Lets start !!

Hellooooo

I'm trying to start to post how I do my nails every week. Well when I do something showing off course.
I'll start with everything from the last weaks XD when I started making picture's cause I noticed my twitter folowers actually liked seeing it.

Well at first, I was searching like crazy I wasn't into the nail blogs yet and I got air about the crackle polish,
First O saw was by Barry M but I'm not that used to ordering online so I left it. But than I noticed Essence was going to sell it in the Netherlands, So next time I got to the kruidvat I went to search. But off course there was none! There was a place for it and a brochure, but no bottle's. Quite quick I got to know there was a deliver problem. Well that sucks ! But when I was at my boyfriends place I got a call from my mom. They were shopping in Germany and they had the crackle in store !! So she bought me the silver base and the black coat !!

I'm so in love how it looked I actually carried it around for two weaks straight (redoing it once of course :P)

Than there was that free coupon in a magazine of my mom, for a bottle of nail polish (herome WIC), I claimed the coupon right away and set of to the store.  But no herome. And I went to an other store, no herome. Guess what Herome made a mistake, and didn't delivered it!! Serious Kruidvat (the store) hates me.
Well I got to know when they were supposed to come, and got to hear the date of the coupon was set later.
Anyway, eventually I went to the store and there they were !! Even more choice than I guessed there would be. Happy me !! So I chose this metalic purple polish, and just had to finish it with some dark tips. My nails looked lovely !! (please don't pay attention to the length difference. My nails were totally destroyed by my yob.)

Well this one is quite simple, I bought the iron mermaid by catrice quite a while ago, just because the color in the bottle made me really curious. It doesn't really cover well quick, so here I first added a layer of black and then one layer of Iron mermaid. I love how it looks. It's mostly a metallic like purple, but in other like it's a seaweed green. Really nice !! And as a finishing touch I added a layer of holo glitter I bought at the Douglas, just 1 euro. And I still had a giftcard so :D

But when I had the black crackle I wanted more of course haha. Well finally the dutch stores got them, and they were sold out in one day !! And no new bottles I almost when every week but noting new. Till I went to a different store in the town north of my city. (instead of in the city and the city were my boyfriend lives) And there they got a new stack! So I bought it. Well I added a purple with glitter as base. (It's from hema, but really bad coverage.) And two quick thin layers of white crackle. I tried to put a little of silver base on my index finger, to check the result. I do think it does crackle a little nicer, although I do also have a nice crackle like that on my right hand and that was without a little base.
