The Hunger Games

Ok to start from the beginning (cause this is going to be one of my longest blog post ever ! I'm starting with te condition of my nails. You are looking at my right hand right now. which looks quite ok. But I had to keep my nails short because of the cold weather. I've got three !! Three tears in my left hand nails *cry* But on the bright sight. There is almost no yellow staining left!! I'm for sure that my nails will look great if I would use nail whitener now :P

and now on to the Title. The Hunger Games. I spotted this name earlier this year.  (long usless story)I've used a picture of a guy I wanted to use for a character. This guy was Chris Hemsworth. I started internet stalking the guy. Ended up watching Thor and discovered he had a younger sibling which is just as handsome! Liam hemsworth. (they also have the same laugh XD) So I watched last song. And started stalking Liam which apparently was going to play the role of Gale in the hunger games. (still didn't know what the hungergames were) a weak past and a friend of mine posted the hungergames trailer on Facebook. And I was f*cking sold. What an awesome trailer !! they told me the books where just as awesome so I decided I needed to read at least the first book befor 23st of march when the movie premier will be.  I needed less than 7 day's to finish the first book. Same for the second and I'm still buzzy with the third. (started monday) I never have red a series this fast !! I'm a huge FAN XD

Cinna's Eyeliner. (Catrice liquid eye liner) 030 I am golden Sandy

Oké so I've got some make-up inspiration from it. As first you can see my nails. They are inspired by  Katniss her interview dress/ look. There was described her teams painted flames on her nails and her dress was set with colourful crystals finishing with blue. So my nails were set on fire. (as seen on the first picture) And I have finished it with a blueish glitter (Magic Star - Gosh) and on to the next inspiration. Cinna. You have to love Cinna. He is caring a perfect listener and just plain brilliant. (and I think he's gay and I love gay men although it is never confirmed in the books)  He is an artist and I love artists and I love the casting of Lenny Kravitz to play him Although I was sure he was fair skinned :P So when I found a golden Eye-Liner in the sale box I had to buy it!! and do the Cinna look (just a plain golden eye-liner on the upper lid.) It's a quite nude style for my taste. (that is also the reason Cinna stout out as a capitol resident. Cause he wears plane/almost no make-up ) But somehow I do love it to. But I decided to try to make it a little bit more feminine. And first added a black line with my gel eyeliner (Catrice) and finished it whit a golden line (liquid eyeliner catrice)  As you can see below. I still need to practice on straight lines haha

as finishing touch a full face picture of me with my golden cinna look and added some golden lip gloss too ! 

But I'm not the only person which is a hunger games fan. And China Glaze comes with a special Hunger Games Colours of the Capitol series. They used to have different names. (all really book inspired) but they changed it into the districts.

I want to buy at least two of the capitol colours. District 1 Luxa and lush (in the original name this one was inspired by Katniss' interview dress.)
And District 9 Harvest moon. (originally inspired by CINNA :D)
But I do love :
District 3 Riveting and District 2 Stone Cold too. So Maybe I will order all four.

Manhattan

Helloww
It has been a while since I posted cause I've been bizzy !! I'm going on my final (graduation) intership within two weaks and I still needed to search for one !! My mom forced me to wear nude nail polish. And altough I tought I didn't have any I found I did have the most wonderfull shimmery nude I could think of. But I didn't took a picture, sorry. (it's the colour from miss sporty that I've updated in my stack posts.) My mom actually said I looked kind of naked with the nude colour XD.
My nails where badly damaged by the cold weather. So I decided I kept my nails a bit neutral for an other weak. I grabbed manhattan D96 (boring I know)
It's a wonderful metallic creme colour, with a holografic glitter. It's like a party on your nails!! It was kind of hard to capture. But oké.

Quick konad on the avant garde

I've bought this colour from gosh a while ago with discount. I still wanted a dark dark red so when I spotted this one in the dirty dirty discount box I had to dig it up!
So I haven't used it yet so it was Avantgarde it's turn to be used ! and I choose to do a konad with my stampy plate from born pretty.
For the stamping I used H&M mini strawberry lollipop I was really really happy that is was such a good polish for stamping !! I've got 3 more polishes from the same series, I hope there just as good :D 

Gosh magicly Blue stary monday ??

Heyyy

First I will explain the question marks. Cause I'm not sure this is actually blue monday. Why?? Cause the drug store personal where so stupid to place the discount sticker over the polish name...
And Damn.. My nails where soooooo beautiful in my last post... But I broke them shortly after.. So I had to file them down, and have to get them back in shape.. *sad face*  (so don't look at my ugly nails, esp the middle finger.) Ow and as for the tea bag repairing, didn't work)

 So this is Gosh Blue monday a blue glitter/metallic like polish, layered with Magic star, an multicolour glitter polish. It's a glittery colour festive on my nails. It was even a bit to sparkly and glittery at fist. So I added a matt topcoat. I'm sorry to say that the colours didn't end up on the photograph :(

New york - Catrice

Helloo

Not really much to tell. I finally got my acceptance to go on my intern ship !! Happy
So I threaded myself at the Kruidvat sale! 2 bottles of Catrice for 1 euro each, and 2 Gosh bottles for 2,50 each :D
The Catrice were both from the Big City live series

Londen and New York . Still would love to get my hands on a bottle of Berlin. But those didn't make the sale o well can't have everything, right?

So now I'm wearing New York

A lovely old blue (my mom looked at my nails that is an old blue, my answer : Indeed)
I love the colour. It's funny cause when I started this blog I didn't like blue on my nails. And now I don't stop buying blue's XD
Anyway. Great polish, great aplication, and it is a one coater !! Go Catrice !! I'm in love!

violet fusion ??

 well as you can see (or maybe not) I have this huge tear in my left tumb nail !! I tried to repair it with just nail glue (the white stuff on the site) the black is the tear. The tear isn't just huge, it's in the part of the nail bed where there is still blood underneath. So really painful to !! I can't just cut it! (this actually happens me quite often)
A while ago I came across the concept of fixing a nail with a tea bag. So I googled it and found this little video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0y-R_1qq7M

I used it and polished over it. So I wonder how long it is going to hold. You can't see the tea bag XD of the tear, and it feels really hard so that's promising.
 I polished my nails with Essence Princes Prunella. And P2 violet fusion Crackling top coat over it.
And I'm confused !! It looks brown gold purple err. Ok I kind of tought the princes prunella would be more brown. And the violet fusion more purple. (as you can see in the bottle) but It's a festivity of duo chromes XD One way it's all purple, other way its gold and brown. I made a few foto's without topcoat and some with. In different angles. What do you think ??

Glitter funky french and new stuff

hey

My mani of past weak. Wow, really didn't had the time to make a picture (and a blog post) till now. Bizzy bizzy bizzy.

Catrice - 440 wear my sunglasses at night, opi divine swine funky french

 as you can see, I used the two polishes I got for christmas. Catrice - Wear your sunglasses at night, and Opi - Divine swine as tips.
I love the divine swine colour. I'm so incredibly happy with that polish !! The Wear your sunglasses at night is a bit of a mwa. I like the colour and the glitter inside. But you really have to look to see the magic. So I've definitely got a love hate relation ship with that one. I know how great the polish looks. But others probably wont notice.

And now the new stuff I bought since half december :P (little stack update) Two image plates. The one with the hello kitty is from born pretty, that was a free sample (A) And the tips plate from essence, cause I kind of love those :P

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 

christmas snowflakes

Helloo there. My last many held really well. So it took a while before I did a new one
This is the result :P actually a free hand from my side. I don't really do freehand, I used to before I knew what konad was. But I tought I was way to bad at it :P
I was inspired by two other blogs
The nailside - snowflake  tutorial 
and Kayla Shevonne - snowflake glitter Gradient. 
I didn't really like the huge snowflake, so I choose to make smaller snowflakes. I don't have special brushes, so I used a white tipper polish (with a tipper brush) from b.pretty.

It does work, but when buzzy the brush gets thick with dried polish. That is why I ruined some flakes :(

And help me, my mom want's me to do the same mani at her nails this sunday !

Used
Base-coat : Herome
colour base : essence. 14 Rock Rebell
Gradient : Essence. 02 sparkling silver
snowflakes : White tipper. B.pretty
topcoat - Herome 

christmas shopping :D

Catrice- Lovely Sinner, without topcoat

 nope this isn't what I bought during Christmas shopping :P it is a new polish tough Catrice - Lovely Sinner  from their welcome to las vegas line. OMG I love this one so much. I've seen some negatives about this polish and some positives. I'm positive. It's a lovely slightly pinkish red with a small glitter in it. Compaired to what I'm used of catrice it needs some layers (3 normally I use 2)
Oke it turnes out a bit uneven, but nothing a top coat can't fix right? A great Christmas colour and I'm in love !!

Catrice - lovely Sinner and Herome Gold Geneva with topcoat

And now to make it even more Christmas :P I added a nice golden crackle, the Herome Crackle gold Geneva.
I love how it lookes. The soft gold of Gold Geneva and the strong sparkling red of Lovely Sinner. 
Germany I'm good to go :D christmas shopping :D Time for starbucks, marrons (chestnuts) and gluwwine.
