New goodies!

A while ago I found a local (dutch) site that sells all the nail polish brands I like and made some picks. I wanted to try getting polishes here since buying them online from USA can take a while for delivery and this site counts with the polishes I wanted to get.


I was looking for good non konad stamping polishes and a couple of colors I was craving for.

For konading I picked from China Glaze Khrome and Romantique Collections:

2030, Adore and Harmony (I purchased from a USA site China Glaze Millenium also in the photo)






And from Color Club:
Snakeskin (Untamed Luxury Collection)
and the popular Revvvolution from the Femme Fatale Collection (which many blogs claim to be the closest dupe to the holographic almost imposible to find version of OPI My private jet) I have the regular one and still find it a beautiful color, but definitely the other one is just perfection.




And a big bottle of black Konad stamping polish.









The site is www.nailpolishfashion.nl

I liked that they give you the option of choosing for package sending costs or regular post envelope (under your own risk). This can make your order much more cheaper. Delivery was quick and well packed.

I'm very happy with my picks...how do you like them?

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
