The Digit-al Dozen's Stamping Week - Bridal


Hello lovelies!

This month's Digit-al Dozen theme is stamping, so I can legitimately stamp every manicure this time! Excellent timing, because I've been incredibly busy lately and I didn't even realise that the challenge had started until today... Since stamping is my go-to nail art method these days, I had some recent manicures on my camera, so I wouldn't miss the challenge, thank goodness! I'm starting the week with a romantic bridal manicure. It wasn't meant bridal, but everyone at work thought it to be very much so and, well look at it, they have a point!

The Digit-al Dozen does Story Genres - Fantasy


Hello lovelies!

The Digit-al Dozen is back, with story genre inspired manicures. Of course this is another wonderful excuse to do a Harry Potter inspired mani, in the name of fantasy! I have recently been to the Harry Potter Expo, where I was sorted by The Sorting Hat into a house. Guess which one?

Catrice "Pulse of Purism" Limited Editions


Hello lovelies!

A long while ago, I bought one of Catrice's limited editions (well, only the nail polishes): "Pulse of Purism". I didn't get around to posting them, but on the off-chance that they're still in your local drugstore, I figured: better late than never! The nail polish part of this collection comprises of three cremes and 1 special effect topper.

Paisley Stamping


Hello lovelies!

Yesterday I had a job interview and this manicure was what I wanted to wear for it, were it not that it chipped off within a day and I couldn't redo it in time... I ended up wearing something else, of which the pics just were awful, so let's just look at the intended manicure here!

Friends on Friday - Weddings, weddings, weddings!


Hi lovelies!

I have done a few wedding related manis for friends recently and I'd like to show you! Let's start with the bride. She was so beautiful. And I am so honoured that I got to do her nails! She wanted something subtle, since she never wears nail polish. [Unfortunately, I didn't get to take pics, you know how those days go, too much is going on and there are too many guests. It's ok. Afterwards, the bride sent me phone pics. Super sweet!]

Catrice Nomadic Traces Nail Art


Hello lovelies!

Long time no blogging, eh? I just didn't have time. Anyways, I showed you some nail art with Wanderluxe from the Nomadic Traces LE by Catrice last week, and now I did some with both Wanderluxe and Trip Into The Blue. I fould the latter later in a different store and thought it would go really well with Wanderluxe! And since Wanderluxe is a one-coater and had already proven to be a good stamping polish as well, I did this:

Catrice "Wanderluxe" from the Nomadic Traces Limited Edition


Hello lovelies!

Today I'd like to show you some nail art I did with one of the gorgeous polishes from Catrice's latest Limited Edition "Nomadic Traces". I quite like this collection for a change, finally! I picked up three things from it. Two lacquers and a lip stick pencil thingy. Today I show you the first one I picked, "Wanderluxe", with some stamping:

Duochrome spring florals!


Hello lovelies!

Today was a very spring-y day, it is my aunt's birthday and it is my half-birthday, so all this calls for a happy spring-y manicure! I recreated a recent mani by Pink & Polished NailsEver since I saw it on IG, I couldn't get it out of my mind, so I had to do something about it!

Catrice "Berry Potter & Plumbledore"


Hello lovelies!

As a huuuuge Harry Potter fan, running into this polish, inevitably resulted in my buying it. Even though the name is kinda horrible, I needed it. And I'm glad I bought it! Check it out:

Catrice Plum Fiction


Hello lovelies!

Today another pretty from Catrice, Plum Fiction, from their Luxury Lacquers line. This is a glitter bomb that is opaque in two coats.



It is jam packed with two sizes of purple glitters and some copperish orange-ish glitter, that is especially visible in more dimmed light, like here:


Application was very difficult, because of the high glitter density. It needed a lot of top coat and unfortunately the top coat bubbled. That was such a shame... But the polish is very pretty and eye-catching and does give a luxurious feel!


What do you think?

Catrice "Blue And A Half Men"


Hello lovelies!

Today I present you a new Catrice pretty, called Blue And A Half Men. The show it was named after used to be one of my favourites, it's really a shame that stupid things happened on the set over there.. But anyways, it inspired this pretty polish (although naming might have been done after manufacturing...)

Catrice Ombre Top Coat


Hello lovelies!

Something interesting appeared in my local drugstore this weekend and I thought everybody who sees it in store would like to know "Does it work?" So let me tell you my experience with Catrice Ombre Top Coat. (Now that I google it, it has been out there for a few weeks, I just have not set foot in my drug store much lately!)

So what they say is the following. Start out with any light colour. Then put one coat of of ombre top coat on the second nail, two coats on the third, ... you get it. So I tried it. I started out with a baby blue base, She Nail Enamel 304, that I picked up in Malta.

#RedCoatTuesday: Pretty Little Daisies


Hello lovelies!

For today's #RedCoatTuesday, on which we celebrate the mere existence of Pretty Little Liars (because it's frickin' awesome), I chose a raspberry red nail polish from Catrice, called "Raspberry Fields Forever", one of my untrieds. I don't know why I have never tried it before, I mean look at it, it's amazing and I knew it would be when I first saw it in store. Anywayz, I decided to go for a happy mani with little daisies, because I was in the mood for happy nails:
