Neon on! - pt. 2

Hi lovelies!

I'm continuing to neon on with two orange/coral manis today!

Corals & Florals

Hi lovelies!

On Wednesdays we wear pink, and coral is sort of pinkish, isn't it? So here we go!

FoF: Quicky post for a quicky mani!

Hey hey!

Didn't have much time last week, but was able to do a very quick mani on one of the friends! Here goes:

I used Bourjois 10 day nail polish #25 for this and an assortment of stripers.

Swatch-It Sunday: Hunkemöller Sexy Nails Summer Collection

Hi there and welcome to another Swatch-It Sunday1

Today I have the whole summer collection of Hunkemöller Sexy Nails for you! My aunt got them for me, so sweet! So I went on swatchin' :D

First up is "Bright Pink", a - doh - bright pink creme that is opaque in 2 easy coats. It applies nicely and lasts for a good time!

Next up is Mint Green, a nice light minty blue with a frosty finish, opaque in 2 coats and gorgeous in sunlight (by the time I swatched these, I had had to have switched nail shapes, due to a chipped of corner):

Vintage Pink is the third beauty, a nude pink with also a frosty finish. Nice application, 2-coat opacity, or one thicker coat, as shown here, all nails have 2 thin coats, except the ring finger, it has one easy thicker coat:

Look, pretty! 

And last but not least: "Cobalt" and "Coral". Now the coral, I must say, is really more orange. But it looks great with the bright cobalt. Both apply nicely and have also 2-coat opacity. 

So I did some nail art with a white and black striper:

My overall impression is very good! Al polishes have an easy 2-coat opacity and last quite a while. So go get a matching one for your bikini! They are available online and in the Hunkemöller stores for 2.99 euros a pop.

Glowing Embers - NYC Timeless Tangerine & Rock Muse

Hey hey!

Some swatches and nail art today! This is NYC "Timesless Tangerine", a bright reddish orange coral creme that is opaque in 2 coats (and this is without top coat, look at that shine!):

Then we have a very nice NYC smokey topper "Rock Muse". I decided to sponge this on the tips, creating a nice gradient:

It reminds me of glowing embers. I love it! What do you think?

Catrice New Limited Edition "Hip Trip": Green Days and Wheels on Fire

Hey hey!

I decided to quickly swatch two of the nail polishes of Catrice's new Limited Edition "Hip Trip" (link here). I was allowed (by myself) to buy two of them, and only two. Someday I'll make money, but today is not that day ;-) Anyway, it just became available so I wanted to show you, so you can decide whether or not to buy these!

The two that caught my eye were "Green Days" and "Wheels on Fire". The blue one is very pretty as well, but I already have something similar.  Let's look at Wheels on Fire first. Catrice describes it as Flamingo Coloured. And Flamingo Coloured it is. I have some great nail art in mind, but have as of yet not had time to do that yet. It is very pretty on its own as well though:

It is a bright hot coral and it is PERFECT for summer. It has a frosty shimmer that makes it sooooo pretty! I love it. Two coats were enough to make the mani opaque. This is shown without top coat.

Then for Green Days:

I was a little disappointed by the bad coverage. The colour is very pretty though so it is still worth to paint on an extra coat (which I didn't do because of the lack of time). Catrice describes it as mint, but I would rather call it lime...

On the webpage of Catrice, they explain how to do a saran wrap mani, so I did that with these two colours. I thought it could either be really cool, or really not. It turned out to be the latter (so don't do it with these colours):

That's it folks! I can really recommend Wheels on Fire, it is perfect for summer and would also be a great colour for your toes! They retail for 2.99 euros here in Holland, so it is a good investment ;)
