Busy but having fun!

I know I'm terrible...more than a month without posting...

It's been busy for me...and I have to accept, I've been lazy during my free time...

This is a short post to let everyone know I'm still alive hahaha

Yesterday I have some friends over at my place for nails, coffee and soesjes (dutch pastry).

This is the result on Janice's mani-pedi

mani: miss sporty pink and white bundle monster tips with white konad polish
pedi: barry m yellow with light blue crackle on top

both with nail tek foundation II as basecoat and seche vite top coat.

I enjoy so much doing my friends nails...even more than doing mine...since my cuticules are having such horrible season, I think this is the biggest reason I haven't posted any swatches because I have purchased quite some polishes later...

I got to find one of the China Glaze OMG polishes I didn't have LOL (purple holo) on Marktplaats (dutch Ebay) and I find just so gorgeous...love holos!

Also I purchased again from Nailetc some goodies.

I got OPI Teenage Dream from the Katy Perry Collection

Show it and Glow It from OPI Burlesque Collection

Orly Halleys Comet from the FX Cosmic Collection

And waiting for my China Glaze Crackle polish in white since it was out of stock :(

In a local store I got one of the Catrice's Floralista Limited Edition Collection in Pink Spring (muted pink with soft purple undertone)

And a couple of Essence Whoom Booom!! Collection Chacalaca (purple) 

and Roy's Red (which looks more like a cherry pink)

I ordered at Alice and Jo Havesentials the two new Instant Effects Barry M Crackle Polish in Pink 

and Light Blue

Both are great spring colors and now with the warmer sunny weather they cheer up my day...

Spring besos,

You don't know Jacques Suede + Konad

Finally I got in the mail my bottle of OPI You don't know Jacques Suede version.
It's the first of that finish I own and I'm in love.
It needed only one coat to be completely opaque and dried very quick.

The downside of Suede finishes as well as Matte is that they get "shinny" quite fast.
You cannot use lotions and they wear off quicker than regular finish.

This polish is different from the regular version of You don't know Jacques, it's a golden brown tone with a gorgeous shimmer, beautiful in suede finish as with topcoat on.

I wanted to make this mani a bit more fancy and I decided to do some konad on it

I love how it looks like black lace over a piece of golden fabric...

I used:
Nail Tek Foundation II as Base Coat
You don't know Jacques Suede as Base Color
Konad Stamping Polish in Black pearl ( the flash makes it look blue)
Bundle Monster Plate nr. 20
Seche Vite as Topcoat

Besos,

Brenda
