Depend // First Impression

Hey guys!

I recently won a competition on Instagram and the price was a variety of Depend products that I have decided to review today!

First up I tried the Cuticle Peeling from the 3-Step Action nail care kit.

I normally use the Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover to remove my cuticles and compared to this I was happily surprised by the Depend Cuticle Peeling. It does what is promises and it is really easy to use. I especially liked that you use the nail brush from the set to remove the dead skin cells. Definitely not the last time I use this!

Next up I tested the Mud Mask.

Except for the long dry time I like this product as well - I do not think I am going to use it a lot though, but it is nice to have in your collection and it does what it promises.

Then I tested the 7day Starter Kit with the color Lady Bug Love.

I am ecstatic about the quality of this kit! The dry time is amazing, it is easy to use, and the polish applies like butter! The only negative thing I have found (so far) is that the top coat does drag the polish a bit even though it is dry. 

All in all, I am so happy with the quality of these products from Depend.

Bruxelles!

Hey guys!

Today I am going to Bruxelles for a study trip - I am going to learn all about the European Parliament! For that purpose I made an EU flag inspired mani.

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of Essie Butler Please on all my nails. Afterwards I made the twelve "stars" (dots) of the flag - three on each nail - using Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow and a big dotting tool.

And here you can see the flag.

I am not sure how I fell about this nail art, but I am really looking forward to going to Bruxelles!

Stamping

Hey guys!

Today I have a simple skittlette to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a green base of Essie First Timer on all my nails, except for my pinky which I painted gold with Essie Good as Gold. Afterwards I stamped the design on my middle and ring finger using MoYou London Holy Shapes 03, Essie Good as Gold and a see through stamper!

This kind of skittlettes is definitely one of my go to manis!

China Glaze Desert Sun

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of a long time lemming of mine - China Glaze Desert Sun!
Desert Sun is a delicious, caramel brown creme.

The formula is amazing and it is creamy and easy to apply - it is a little on the thin side though and I was nervous it would need 3+ coats, but it builds up really well and it is opaque in two thin coats!

I added a popsicle charm from Daily Charme to my ring finger.

Now I have the munchies!

Gradient

Hey guys!

Today I have a teal gradient to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a minty teal base of Essie Blossom Dandy on all my nails. Afterwards I used a make-up sponge and the following polishes to make the gradient:  Essie Blossom Dandy, Essie In the Cab-Ana, and Essie Garden Variety.

I need more gradients in my life!

Negative Space

Hey guys!

Today I have some negative space nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with naked nails (except for base coat of course). Then I placed striping tape and straight vinyls horizontally across my nails and painted them with the white nail polish CND Cream Puff. To finish everything off I applied a matte top coat.

I love minimalistic designs like this one!

Glam Polish POP!

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful Glam Polish POP!
POP! is a peach-colored scattered holo.

The formula is perfect - it is easy to apply and glides onto the nail with no struggle! The opacity is great for such a fair shade and it is opaque in two thin coats.

I am in LOVE with this shade - I look so tan!

Saran Wrap

Hey guys!

Today I have a skittlette featuring the saran wrap technique to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a purple base of Essie Shade On on my thumb and pointer, a white base of CND Cream Puff on my middle and ring finger, and a blue base of Barry M Damson on my pinky. Afterwards I dotted random blops of Essie Shade On, Barry M Damson and the red polish By K. Oy-Mak on my middle and ring finger and smeared it together with a piece of saran wrap.

Close-up!

I love the saran wrap technique (except for the clean up part)!

Florals for spring? Groundbreaking

Hey guys!

Today I have some floral nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a yellow base of Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow on my thumb and pointer, a black base of Essie Licorice on my middle and ring finger, and the silver, holographic glitter F.U.N Lacquer 24 Karat Diamond on my pinky. Afterwards I freehanded the flowers on my middle and ring finger using a small nail art brush, watered-down white acrylic paint and Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow.

I love a good skittlette and in my opinion this one is amazing!
