NOTW: Sexy Leopard !!!

This sexy design is inspired on a tutorial by Brooke

From the China Glaze OMG collection I own 2 bottles:

DV8 and BFF
and I'm just crazy about holographic polishes since then. Bad that they are limited edition and can be quite pricey to find them on Ebay.

This are things I used to achieve it:

 The plate is number 57 

 

I used Konad Special Polish in black

I finished this manicure with a nice thick coat of Seche Vite.

How do you like this design?

Nicole's Fave

I got this beauty as a birthday present, came as part of a set with a gorgeous purple which I'll swatch soon. My first two Nicole by OPI polishes.

Consistency was good, dried very quick and only needed 2 coats to be completely opaque.

Is this your fave too?

Orly Space Cadet

Oh my! Oh my!
What a polish!

I just couldn't wait to try it on....
What an amazing and unique shade!

Reminds me a certain type of beetle, that when hit by sunlight, shows different metallic shades...just gorgeous!

green, purple and golden shimmer

For sure my polish this weekend!

(and already thinking of getting a back up)

This is my second Orly bottle and again the formula goes on the runny side, but 3 coats get the job done and dries up quick and completely opaque.

How do you like it?

Pakketje! Pakketje!

Mr. Postman is spoiling me this week!
I got a package from USA today.

I ordered at NailEtc.com 3 polishes I wanted for a while.
My friends gave me on my birthday a very generous envelope with money (it's dutch thing giving money as present).
They know how crazy I'm about polishes and make up, so they gave me the option to buy whatever I want...(I have the best friends ever!)

This time I picked:

China Glaze Millenium

I was in need of a silver khrome polish, since lately I'm into Konad (well Bundle Monster, I only own one Konad plate) I saw in many blogs that khromes are good for Konading and between my white, black, orange, green and yellow Konad polishes I was getting a bit bored.

OPI Designer Series Extravaganza

My first DS bottle, I've been looking like crazy for DS Desire, but haven't been lucky...this one is a gorgeous holographic fuschia with shimmer...

Orly Space Cadet

this polish really blew my mind away...there is no way to explain exactly which color is, but you have shades of green and purple with bit of golden/bronze shimmer, it's just amazing.
Never seen a polish like that before, and for sure will get at least one more color from the same collection.

Depending on the light conditions you get a different shade from this bottle, can't wait to try it on...


How do you like my picks?

Besos,
