The Digit-al Dozen Does Vampy - Glossy/Matte


Hi lovelies!

Day two of The Digital Dozen Does Vampy! I have a simple manicure today. The photo's weren't all too great - it was late and there was little light left. Plus, my lightbox is broken. So I had to make do.

Gosh "Girls on Film"


Hello lovelies!

I have another glitter gradient for you, I love them so much, I can't help it. I used an untried that I bought because it was so glittery and girly - Gosh "Girls on Film". I applied it as a reverse gradient to Essence "boys are back in town".

Quick Swatch: Gosh - Berry Me

Hello polish people and what-not!

Today, a quick swatch of Gosh "Berry Me". When I saw it in store, I was drooling and when it finally went on a discount, flew to the store to buy it. It is such a lovely dark raspberry colour.. 



As you can see, it is somewhere between a jelly and a creme. It's not fully opaque in two coats, but that somehow doesn't matter at all. Application was very nice, not too thick, not too thin.

I decided to only do a little accent on the ring finger:


I did this with my silver striper from Essence. I really enjoyed this mani, the colour is so super classy, but not standard at all.. Love!

My first Stained Glass!

Happy Tuesday!

I entered my first Stained Glass mani ever into a contest of Tip Top Nails SA, as part of a 12-week during contest, in which you have to submit a new mani every week. The first task was to create a stained glass or mosaic effect, using only red, pink, purple, brown and nude shades. I wanted also to create a pattern, but that is easier said than done! In the end I was semi-pleased, as I hope I will eventually be able to do this a lot more neat. And since acrylic paint was forbidden, it was hard ;)





I used Essence "Iced Latte" as the base, and then drew on the frames with my black striper from Etos. Then I added the colours. Red is Essence "Fame Fatal" and the violet-red is "Berry Me" form Gosh. 

Do you like it or do you think it's too messy?
