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 fren

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 

 and some polishes.

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. 

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. :(

There were two things I really needed to do. Make an quite simple French many (so standart colours) and do some stamping. Well, I'm still not a star at stamping. But it turned out quite oké ! Just one side, my realy konad polish never really seams to dry. When I need to ad the topcoat the brush isn't allowed to touch the naile cause it will smudge... Weird.. Wel the result. I  liked it, besides from my stamping fail and the smudge of the top coat. Twice I got asked if these really are my real nails :P

And after I added some nail decoration hearths. Just one on every index vinger. Should really make a note that I have to ad two layers of top coat over the decoration. Lost them within a day :P
