My Indie Polish "Pride" and "Mars Diner"


These items were sent to me for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
Hello lovelies!

So of course I fell ill again, because I had been healthy for almost two weeks and clearly that is absolutely absurd and must be undone immediately (or so it seems). Therefore, since I have fallen behind on blogging, I will merge two posts into one and present the last two pretties I have from My Indie Polish's "Hello Toronto" spring collection!

My Indie Polish "Sunsets at Bluffers Park"



These items were sent to me for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
Hi lovelies!

Time for another one of My Indie Polish's pretties! This is "Sunsets at Bluffers Park", inspired by the Scarborough Bluffs, which according to wiki "have been described as a 'geological wonder' and a unique feature in North America."

Red Coat Tuesday


Hello lovelies!

Today I join Color Me So Crazy for Red Coat Tuesday, as an hommage to the well-known television series "Pretty Little Liars" :D Oh how I love that show! And not only because of the entertainment, which is amazing, but also for the fashion. Especially Aria's.. love it.

My nails for this occasion sport Claire's Leather Look Nail Polish in a sort of metallic red. My Lieutenant got it for me :D It's super sexy!

SiS: Rimmel Space Dust "Aurora" & "Moon Walking"

Hello lovelies!!

Rimmel recently added 5 beauties to their collection, the "Space Dust"s. Anything that is named after something extraterrestrial, I need to own, so when my local drugstore had a 2 for 1 discount, I purchased these pretties. Here are the two I was able to acquire first (the other 3 had already sold out, but I was able to snatch them just before closing time on the last day of the discount, YEAH!). First up is Moon Walking:

Swatch-It Sunday: Essence Sparkle Sand Effects Nail Polish [pic heavy]

Hello lovelies!

Today (I mean, it's still Sunday in, like, the States and all ;) ) I will show you swatches of the new Sparkle Sand Effect nail polishes by Essence. Like OPI liquid sand, but then affordable in Europe ;) There are only 3 so far, but I'm sure there will be more to follow (I really really hope!). A nude "Hey Nude!", a sexy red "Me & My Lover" and a grungy black "Here's My Number". Let's start with the latter ('cause so did I). [B T dubs, my friends gave me these for my bday ;) ]








As you can see, it is a nice dark grey/blackish polish with holo and black glitters and a fine micro shimmer. It's is all kinds of sparkly IRL, the photo's don't do it justice! It's opaque in 2 coats, but it dries very very slowly. Also, to obtain the best sand effect, one should not use a base coat. Not only will it not dry as sandy, but it will also slow down the drying process even more... Dry time is an issue with all of these 3 polishes. But they are gorgeous. So let's go to the next: Me & My Lover: 







This is 2 easy coats again. It is bright sexy red, with a golden and pink shimmer. This polish screamed black rhinestones to me (yeah, it just did, I dunno, but I had to obey!). Just FYI, don't push them into the wet polish (as is sufficient for 'normal' nail polish). Underneath the rhinestone it will NEVER dry. Wait for the "Me & My Lover" to dry and then attach them with some nail glue. That will do the trick. 

Now last, but not least, "Hey, Nude!", based on a popular song that a iconic singer in Utrecht used to sing every year for Queensday. 





SUNLIGHT! (finally)



Gorgeous. Simply Gorgeous. This one is very sheer, so even after these 3 coats, there's still some VNL, but it's OK for this one. This one has some chunky silver glitter and silver shimmer. Awesome! 

Now I thought a bit of nail art was in order, and I wanted to try the ikat with these three:



And of course, I made a tutorial, since it was an easy peasy design ;)


So, all in all... LOVE! I had shown you my first texture here, but it was different, since it was glitterless. This is, in my opinion, BETTER! Trust me, you will not be able to avert your eyes from your nails, once you wear this! The only down side is the dry time, but one could easily overcome that for this budget-friendly price ;)

Barry M Ridley Road Texture Polish!

Hellooooo!

I have my very first texture polish! My friend brought it over from The UK. Barry M Ridley Road:




'Nuf Said! It is soooo nice :D Application is nice. You can have opacity with two thin coats as long as you apply it very neatly. I found that is has an awesome sand-like texture with two coats. If you put three coats, it gets more of a bubblegum feel to it. Haha it's so much fun! I added some studs from Action:




And that's it! Weartime with this polish is amazing. It lasted 3 days on my nails. That is super long for me!
