Nail Fail: Nude And Pink

Ola! When I wore this look, it was THE BOMB! It looked so good in real life. But when I saw it on photos, I was less than impressed. What the hell happened? Why wasn't I able to capture it on camera? *Insert sobs*

I used the following products:

Eveline MiniMax nail polish, no. 496: One of my favorites. The shade looks very lady-like and it dries very fast. Only one coat is necessary for full coverage. If you love nude shades, this one is for you.

Essence, colour&go (old collection): I can't say this enough, I just love the old polish bottles so much more than the new ones. This polish really shows all the amazing things essence has to offer: I've had it for a long time, and the texture and shade are still flawless, not to mention that it dries super fast. Go essence!

Ugh, I'm so sad this look will go into the FAILS category. The photos just don't do it justice. You know, I've noticed I do a lot of dotted looks. Do I need to go to dotting rehab? LOL

Stay gorgeous!

Nail Look: Black Nail Fluff Powder

Hey guys! I love velvet nail powders, and to have one in black is a must have. This is one of my favorite nail products, it looks and feels amazing, and it lasts a very long time (a week straight, with only tip wear)! So here's a quick summary of the products I used in this look:

Thumb:

2 x Revlon nail polish, 999 'Blackest Black': I used this product as a base for the nail fluff. I do not like this polish because it's a little watery, but it's a great base for nail powder.

Nail Art Fluff from KKCenterHk, N.NAIL Lovely Villus Nail Art Decorations-Black [NNAIL-DRN852]: How I used this product: I applied 2 coats of nail polish, and while the polish was still wet, I dipped my nail into the pot of nail powder. I then pressed the powder into place with my finger. After a few minutes (this dries very fast), I brushed off the extra product, and I was done. This lasted for so long - 7 days, and the hairs did not fall out, and I didn't get any bald spots. All in all, I'm in love with this product. Price: 2.50 $ Rating: 10/10

Other nails:

Avon, Nail experts, Peeling and brittleness solver: This nail base prolongs my manicure, but it doesn't nourish my nails in the long run (it actually dries them). Price: 30 kn

Eveline, miniMAX, no. 496: I love nude shades, this shade is the shade of coffee (with lots of milk), but in the sun it shows that it has a pink undertone. This shade goes lovely with my skin tone. The polish is a one-coater, it covers all with one swipe of the brush. The texture is creamy and shiny, and it dries very fast. It's the perfect polish. If you're looking for a pretty nude shade, this is for you. Price: 11 kn 10/10

Essence, nail art, stampy polish, 002 stamp me! black (matt): I used this polish to dot the nails, it's great for this because the difference of the two polishes (1 shiny, 1 matte) gives it that extra wow. Price: 14 kn

Essence, nail art, express dry drops: This is my trusty helper whenever I paint my nails. Loving it! Price: 17 kn

What do you think of this look? Are you in love with nude nails as well?

***KKCenterHk has sent me the black nail powder for reviewing purposes.

Sunset Ombre With Dots

This is an update to a look I posted yesterday. Link to that post is HERE, where you can find all the info on the products used. The dotting is done by essence's Stampy polish in black.

I do a lot of dotted looks, especially dotted ombre. I just enjoy them so much. What do you think about them ? Would you wear them?

Sweet As Candy And Dots

Happy Monday! This looks is so pretty and pink and cute! I forget sometimes how pretty baby pink can be. I'm wearing two coats of Essence's colour&go, shade 104 'Sweet As Candy'. Two coats look so pretty - but one coat also looks amazing, it looks so nude and barely there. I'd wear one coat for pure elegance. I know I'm getting so boring with the constant dotting, I just love how it looks, but seriously, I need to start trying out some new stuff.

Do you wear baby pinks during the summer? Or do you go for more crazy colors? Until the next post, xoxo

Red Ombre With White Dots

If you want to see this look without the dots, follow this LINK. Picture of all the polishes used is at the end of the post (except for the thumb, which has been my cat's toy, apparently LOL). Anyway, I think my blue dotted ombre is still my favorite. I think the problem with this look is that I didn't use the super-white polish for dots, but a very peachy-white shade. Nevertheless it's always fun to wear a dotted ombre look. 

Are you all enjoying the summer? Until next time, xoxo

Why Does This Remind Me Of A Turtle ?

Ok, can anyone explain to me why this look reminds me of a turtle? I dont think it has anything to do with turtles...right? Anyway, here I'm wearing 2 coats of Eveline's Mini Max no.808 (a beautiful minty shade, but I'm not liking it very much, it has a very thick texture), and the blue dots are by Deborah, no.30 'Electric Bluejeans' (old collection).

Until next time, have a great day ;)

Blue Ombre Upgraded

Hey guys! Here's an upgrade of the 'Simple Blue Ombre' look I posted a few days ago, you can find it HERE, along with the info about all the polishes I used. After wearing the ombre look for a few days I got tired of it and decided to spice it up. I added essence's Studio Nails Top Coat and dotted over that. At first I wanted to do big polka dots, but I didnt like that (there are two photos of that in the bottom of the post), so I ended up adding the smaller dots and I just loved it. It was so much fun to wear.

Which one do you prefer, the final look or the polka dots? Let me know ;)

The Dotted Red

Hello there ! :)

So this look was inspired by this gorgeous red dotted ring I have, and I looked at it one day and thought to myself 'I wonder what this might look like on my nails?' I ended up absolutely loving it! Even though at first I thought it was too much...hmm....'halloween'? But I actually fell in love with it....The red polish used is Catrice 'Bloody Mary To Go', one of my favorites...it's a beautiful red...I in general LOVE Catrice polishes because they're really affordable and the quality is great compared to the price. The black dots are Essence, 'Stampy polish' - I use this polish a lot when I'm creating dots because it's a very very dark true black...

Hope you all enjoyed this post! ;)
