Then and Now

Hey guys!

Today I recreated my absolute most popular manicure ever - this rose gold french manicure.

For the manicure I started off with a milky base of Essie Adore-A-Ball on all my nails. Afterwards I freehanded the rose gold tips with the beautiful Essie Penny Talk.

I think it is so fun that this is my most popular manicure ever (it is really trending on Pinterest), because it is in no way the manicure I am most proud off!

Metallic and Floral

Hey guys!

Today I have a special and funny manicure to share with you.
I can not for the life of me remember who I was inspired by, so if you know, write it in the comments!

For the manicure I started off with a rose gold shimmer of China Glaze Meet Me at the Mirage on all my nails, except for my pointer and pinky. Afterwards I applied rose water decals on my pointer and pinky.

And with my outfit!

I love the contrast between the metallic nails and the floral nails!

Cirque Colors Facets Collection | My Picks

Hey guys!

Happy New Year!
This year's first blog post is swatches and reviews of my picks from the new limited edition Cirque Colors Facets collection.
These polishes are sponsored by minta.dk but everything I write about them is my honest opinion.

First up is Smoky Quartz.
Smoky Quartz is a holographic polish with a black base that makes the holographic flakes look gold - it is seriously so beautiful. This polish needs two easy coats to be completely opaque. It applies like a dream and it has the perfect consistency - not too thick and not too thin.

Next I have Carnet, which is a stunning bordeaux polish with silver holographic flakes.
This one has almost the same formula and opacity as Smoky Quartz, so it only needs two layers of polish to achieve full opacity.

Lastly is Morganite.
Morganite is a gorgeous rose gold polish filled with holographic flakes.
It needs three coats to be completely opaque and the formula on this one is a little thinner compared to the other two, but the application and dry time is still amazing.

And that's my picks from the Facets collection - they are all so beautiful!

Snowflakes

Hey guys!

Today I have some simple stamping nail art featuring snowflakes to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a dark blue base of Essence Royal Blue on all my nails. On my ring finger I created the negative space with a small brush dipped in acetone. Afterwards I added the bronze snowflakes using Essie Penny Talk and MoYou London Festive plate 02.

Close up!

I seriously love how these turned out!

China Glaze Meet Me at the Mirage

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the stunning China Glaze Meet Me at the Mirage.
Meet Me at the Mirage is a rose gold shimmer.

The formula is great - it is not to thick and not to thin. The coverage is good too and it is opaque in two easy layers.

Afterwards I played around with some weird ass color combinations.

I love rose gold and this shimmer is perfect!

Rose Gold French Manicure

Hi girls!

Today I did a really simple manicure - a rose gold french manicure!
I was inspired by this manicure by Arelis P at nailsbyarelisp on Instagram.

I started off with the semi-sheer pale nude nail polish that is Essie Adore-A-Ball. With two easy coats it looked like this:

Afterwards I freehanded on the rose gold tips using Essie Penny Talk. You can also check out Arelis' video on how to make the manicure here.

I really love both the polish Adore-A-Ball and this manicure! It is so simple, but sooo pretty!
