Holographic goodness with Teeez! Cool

So today, finally, the weather is getting a lot better, with a lot of sunshine. And you all know what sunshine means right? Yep, Holo's!
This polish is from Teeez! and this is number 02, Cool, it's a light babyblue colour. I used the Gosh Fix base coat which is especially made for holographic polishes.  I've never used this polish without the fix base coat, so I don't really know how application is without. The base coat made application flawless. I used 3 effortless coats of holographic goodness. After that I topped it off with INM out the door topcoat. The topcoat didn't dull the holo-effect in my opinion.
My camera even freaked out with the pictures in direct sunlight, so it couldn't quite capture the full holographic effect. So without further a do, here are the pictures:

China Glaze and Chanel Konad

Today I wanted to do a konad again, I used plate m65 for the rose design. I really felt like using some fall colours, since all the fall collections are all coming out at the moment. So this is a base of three coats of China Glaze Loft-y Ambitions and I stamped the design on with Chanel Particulière. I really adore both colours. However, when I used my topcoat, I noticed it smudged the design a little bit. That's something I really need to practice on with konading.

Gouda Gouda Two Shoes Konad

So, I decided to really wanted to try stamping nailart again, and here it is. I used the leopeard print from plate M57 from Konad. This really is one of my favourite plates!
The base colour I used was OPI's Gouda Gouda Two Shoes and for the stamping I used China Glaze Urban-night. So on to the swatches!

I really loved this combo! At first I merely thought: Mehh.. But after a couple of hours I found I really liked it. It took some getting used to with the konading, but I'm really gonna do this more often. Have a nice weekend!

China Glaze Tronica - Virtual Violet

Today I have for you guys a polish from the China Glaze Tronica collection. If you didn't get your hands on the OMG or Kaleidoscope collections this one will also do.
This baby is called Virtual Violet and it's a pretty one! It's a vibrant purple with lots of scattered holo going on!

Close up!

Application is perfect, almost a one-coater, this is two coats though. I would advice to use a basecoat which is for holographic polishes. I used the Gosh Fix basecoat, because of this basecoat the polish dried a little rubbery. I used Seche Vite as a topcoat.


  

Chanel - Paradoxal

Hi everybody,

Yesterday I was talking about the new 2011 fall colours from Chanel and I remembered I still had swatches laying around from last years collection! I know this has been swatched soo many times and talked about on blogs A LOT! But I think it's just a beauty. So here it is: Chanel Paradoxal, with that gorgeous purple shimmer!

I had experienced some tipwear already 'cause I was wearing it already for a couple of days, but here it is!

Essence Hello Holo Topcoat

Hi everyone,

The weather here is awful right now. It's really hot and humid, hopefully the rain they forcasted will come soon, cause I'm sick of it.
Today I have for you one of the special effect toppers from Essence, which they released a couple of weeks ago. I got myself Mystic Mermaid and Hello Holo. I still want to own Circus Confetti, I love all the different colours of glitter. But for now I have Hello Holo. I finally got it last weekend, it's been sold out since it came out.
You can buy Essence in drugstores (here in the Netherlands at the Kruidvat stores), and these toppers are only 1,80 euros.

So, onto the pictures. Here I have Hello Holo topped over China Glaze Papaya Punch.

I really, really like it. I didn't have any sun out so couldn't capture even half of the holo effect. Application is good, but the glitters aren't really dense on the brush. I have 2 coats on and I still think it's not enough (but maybe that's just because it's so gorgeous.) I did have some tipwear because I was wearing Papaya Punch for a day before applying Hello Holo.

Meanwhile I'm waiting for stores in the Netherlands to release the new fall 2011 Chanel collection. From the swatches I've seen of it already I really want to have a closer look at Peridot and Graphite. They look awesome! Why is it that fall collections always make me want to buy them all! I tend to love fall collections a lot.

Lemony Flutter

Hey guys,

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, my nails aren't in their best shape and today I broke 2 nails, just because I was in a rush at work. That's also a reason I haven't posted, work is just really time consuming at the moment and I'm really glad when I get home to relax.

So, I wanted to talk to you guys about my FAVOURITE nailcare product, which is Lush' lemony flutter. This stuff is amazing! My cuticles are in perfect condition, and my nails are even getting a lot stronger. They used to tear a lot and they were very brittle.

Like the name says, it's packed with lemons and it's smells like lemon ice-cream. It also had Shea butter, mango butter, lemon oil and even lavender oil. When you get it onto your cuticles and nails the butter melts because of your body temperature. I always rub it in with my pointer finger and thumb and just let it sink in. I does let you have very greasy hands, so I use it before I go to bed.

I'm a person that likes to use large quantities of everything, maybe because I believe it'll work even better then! And I am quite happy to say that you really really only need a small amount of this stuff. I've had my 50 grams since december and I think that I didn't even use up a quarter of what is in the pot. I even think I can't use it all up in a year.

You can buy this product in every Lush store, or on their website, for 9,95 euros. I'll be posting swatches again very soon!
