Herome "The green of Edinburgh"

Goodmorning dear friends,

So after the candy-nails from yesterday today a more regular mani.
Lately I met so many green polishes over here (the blogs) that I've
tried the green stuff myself.
I bought it somewhile ago and never used it before.

It's Herome nr. 116 Edinburgh. It's a frosty polish and really difficult to
apply neat.
Again this polish was a little thick, just like the other Herome's I showed before.
But it has a nice radiance.
I must say it didn't look bad at all;-) Actually I like it.



Afterwards again some konad. I think old mani's are perfect to practise!
If it doesn't succeed the disappointment is a lot less :-)
I used konad-plate nr. M51.
As you can see it didn't go as well as last one :-(
I was struggling with the pattern and when I was dotting there were lot of thin
strips at my tool.
But anyway I let you see what it became.



Well this was all for now. Still I hope you like it!
I wish you all a really great day and till next time.

O.P.I. DS Jewel "A shimmer in the Dark"

Hi sweet people,

How are you today?
Well it is already Tuesday and the week is going fast for me!!

Today I polished my nails with OPI DS Jewel. I have to say that I had a lot of problems applying it :-(
Maybe because I used a new basecoat, a OPI ridgefiller.
I cracked my thumbnail when I was twelve years old. It was between the door, the door was closed with my thumb between it. It never recovered and I have some rifles on my nail :-(
Thats why I tried the ridgefiller. Anyway I did it fast because lack of time :-(

I can not find the right word for the color.
It has some red flows but it also has something brownish or bordeaux by daylight I guess.





Maybe some of you can help me to define this color???



I tried also some konad but couldn't find the right color so I tried
white konad stamping polish. Again just for trying out.
I used plate 63.




Thanks again for looking over here! I really appreciate it :-)
Well this was all for today. Have a lovely day and I see you around.

A fun thing to do "Three generations hand in hand"

Hi you all!!
I hope you all had a nice weekend!!!
And its nice to see you again here :-)

This time a mani, actually three mani's from about 6 weeks ago.
We were sitting over here, my mother, my daughter (Laquerized) and myself
thinking what fun we could do ;-)

Well see on the picture what we did, it seems to be nice to get us
captured in one photo with different laquers.
So as said so we did.
When we checked out my mothers stash I found a really beautiful Shiseido-polish.
So that was the one for her.
Beside that Michèle and I bought some new polishes including a
very beautiful Collistar and a Loreal.



My mother wears the Shiseido nr. A14 Pink Star.
A very creamy polish which applied very smoothly.
Micèle choose the Collistar nr. 43 Viola Glitter and it looked stunning on her.
You can't see it proper on the this photograph but it really was beautiful.
I went for the Loreal, it looked copper-red in the bottle but
in real it was so dark! Couldn't find red in it. Only by photographing it
you could see the color more clearer.
It has no name only a number: 734. (accidently I erased the print at
the front of the bottle when I cleaned it)



Well I hope you liked it!!
Well take care and have a great next week!!!
Hope to see you soon again :-)

O.P.I. We Always Have Paris making love to BeYu nr. 397

Goodmorning this Sunday!

Hope you all are oke today! In the Netherlands
everything is fine!

For the past New Year's Eve I had a try-out mani.
As I mentioned earlier I like the Suedes from OPI
a lot. I tried "We always have Paris" (suede) and made a
little nailart and a french.
I am not very good at this but still practicing.
The french looked nice I thougt.


The color on the first photo is the most matching.

For this mani I used:
Basecoat: O.P.I. Natural nail base coat
For the basecolor: O.P.I. We always have Paris (suede)
For the french: BeYu number 397
For striping: Essence 02 Purple Boost and a kind of fuchsia color
from Claire's (no name)
For decoration: Essence nailart little purple starshaped strass
Topcoat: O.P.I. RapiDry



BeYu polish is a clear polish with glitters.
The color matched awesome with the OPI polish :-)
For striping the Essence striper really did a good job.
You can make thin stripes with it.
The one from Claire's made a rather wide stripe.
So I think you better can use your own brushes.
I like the long thin brushes the most.
As a decoration I used little purple stars from Essence.
They come in a lovely little box as a assortment.

It was all for trying and practicing ;-)
But it was a nice result for me.

I hope you liked it again!
Take care and till next time :-)
