Ms. Sparkle November Duo

Hello lovelies!

Tomorrow will be the start of a new month, so to celebrate I present Ms. Sparkle's November Birthstone/Star Sign Duo! 

Peachella & Wilderness

Hello lovelies!

Remember when we did manis for Rose? I was torn between many of her manicures and chose to do the pond stamping technique. But I was also very much in love with her Coachella manicure. I was just mesmerized by that colour combo, you know? Now I didn't have those polishes or that stamping plate, but I have similar polishes and a totally different stamping plate, so I just gave it a go! 

Tutorial Tuesday: Essence "Me & My Ice Cream" Trend Edition Nail Art

Hello lovely lacquer lovers!

The new trend edition of Essence has just hit the stores, so I wanted to inspire you with some nail art! First a swatch of "Icylicious":

It is a really nice colour, but sadly not opaque in 2 coats. This is 3 coats, and still there are some spots where it has not quite leveled. Oh well, I still like it! The shimmer makes up for everything, once the sunlight hits it ;)

Now onto the nail art. I used "Ice Ice Baby" for the lilac:

Now here is the tutorial! Enjoy!

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.

Review: Catrice "Bring Me Peach" Lip Balm Stick from the LE "Candy Shock"

Hey hey!

Today a short post, but I want to get it out soon, because it's about one of the limited edition products of Catrice. Catrice put two lip balm sticks in their LE "Candy Shock", "Bring Me Peach" and "Sugar Shock". They describe them as caring with a whiff of colour. 

I picked up "Bring Me Peach". "Sugar Shock" is a very light pink, so I already kinda knew it was not gonna look good on me. But I had to try out one of them, I mean, look at it! So interesting! (Well done, marketing wise :P)

Ok so how does it look? First: Daylight:

Not impressed. It doesn't even out and it makes my lips look, uhm, dead. (It's creapy!) I think this would look a lot beter on someone with a different complexion. It's just not for me. But how is it in artificial light? 

Not bad. Sort of a golden glow, that is much better. It's very subtle, but not unflattering. 

So I will only wear this at night ;) It is nice, and it is smooth, and it smells nice :) It takes care of my lips and I can feel that. So overall, even though the colour might not be for me, the formula is nice :)
