Misa in love with O.P.I.



Goodmorning sweet readers!

After posting yesterday with Misa “Forbidden Lust” I topped it
With the gorgeous OPI Holo DS Original. Only 1 coat.

I tried to make some nice pictures yesterday but it was a bit
too dark outside.
So I had to make the pictures by artificial light.
Maybe next time when I make a new post about Forbidden Lust
I’ll try OPI once again and show you better pictures.






What do I have to say about the gorgeous holo…….
Besides that the Misa makes the holo wonderfull…………
I don’t know, just that I love it very much.
I’m a sucker for holo’s and do love them so much.



Well I hope you like them anyway!
See you next time and for now take care as always.

Love from me……….

Relaxing and polishing, doing some nailart.

Herôme "Safari in Johannesburg"



Hello everyone!

How was your weekend? Hope you all had a relaxing and happy time.
Today it's Sunday so I made some time to do my nails.
The wheather outside is grey and it's raining all day.

Lately I bought a lot of new polishes from Herôme.
The brand has a lot of colors and I love a lot of them.
For today I picked a nice kind of taupe color.
Its lovely name is Johannesburg nr. 72.




Applying went just well, I did two layers.
It is a very creamy polish and I love it so much!
I have to say that it was a little thick but with some thinner
it worked okay.

My nails looks a bit curved here and there but it's because of the light I guess.




I have decided that when I reached my 100 followers I will do
a nice giveaway containing products from Herôme!
I hope you will like that!



Well that was it for now. I wish you a nice evening and see
you next time.
Take care sweet people.
Thanks again for stopping by on my blog.

Koh is going Antique



Hello dear people,

Well another day! Today it is a very grey day in Holland.
Just raining and very windy over here. And then I don't mention
the cold.....brrrrrrrrr....
It's time for spring, sun and light :-)
Guess we have to wait for that some more time.

I was thinking this afternoon what to do with my mani.
ofcourse I am still wearing my Green Stardust from Koh.
But as I told you yesterday I was a bit disappointed with it.
What reminds me to say that I thank you all so much for all of
your sweet comments.
That really means a lot to me!

Well I decorated Green Stardust with a little stamping and some
striping and dotting.




I used my favorite "Millennium" from China Glaze for stamping and
dotting.
For striping I used a nice silver one from Essence "Silver Star".
This time I used the Delaney plate number H22.



I wish you all a very nice evening and for those with the
timedifference maybe a nice day, morning or midday!
Take care for now and I will see you next time.
Thanks for stopping by again.

Koh Green Stardust 201 "The Olive Star"



Good evening my sweet readers,

Hope you are doing great!
I had a very busy day at the office. I was glad coming home
today. Ofcourse I wanted to post something new today but my eyes are already
very sleepy :-)

Well today I show you a mani from two days ago.

This is a nailpolish from Koh.
I think it's a lovely color and it applied well.
I did two layers of it.
It is an olivegreen polish with beautiful green flakies in it.
It was a disappointment to be honest.
I do not see the glittering spark from the flakies.
Not with a topcoat nor with a flash-photo.





I took these photos outside in the snow.



Well take a look at it and please tell me what you think of it!
I'm off for bed now and hope to see you all soon.
Take care and till next time.

Love from me......
