Flowery jelly sandwich

Hi everyone! How are you all doing? Today I want to show you a manicure that did not turn out the way I hoped but still looks pretty cute.

Lovely layering: Glittery Elderberry

Hi everyone! It's time for MORE BARRY M! I just can't get enough (can you? - if so, I'm sorry. I still have one other polish to try out). Today I proudly present: Elderberry. This polish has such a peculiar greyish blue colour, it's very interesting! 

Lovely layering: holographic green

Hi everyone! Today I want to show you what I wore on the first day of Christmas... Let's just say I like to work ahead ;).

Lovely layering: mint and gold

Hi polish pals! Who doesn't love layering? Here's a pretty combo I wore. I'm currently out of town to celebrate New Years Eve. I hope you all have a great time tonight and an amazing 2015! My giveaway is probably closed by the time you read this. I will pick the winner within a week.

Monthly Man-icure: December

Hello there! It's that time of the month again ;). Seb kept it simple for this man-icure: he chose only one nail polish. It's the sparkly W7 Fairy Tale.

2013 Nail Art Challenge: (1) A polish you've never used

The 31 day nail challenge. I started it, and I never finished. When I got to the 'black and white' challenge, I just sort of... quit. I don't really like black and white. But... I found a new challenge on the blog Procrasti-nails, made by blog owner Katherine, who did a great job on creating it, thank you Katherine! :) This challenge, the '2013 Nail Art Challenge' has way nicer themes than the 31 DNC and really triggers my imagination and creativity! There's not much creativity involved in this post though, since I simply layered two polishes:

Sunlight

Glitter Bubble Gum

After wearing the blue magnetic polish I felt like putting on something bright.. so I chose GOSH's Bubble gum, and tried a subtile glitter fade. I was too lazy to do nail art so this was a pretty nice way to make my manicure just a bit more interesting.

 

Shot by a golden gun

My boyfriend got me a lovely polish - again! This time the (apparantly not so?) limited 'The man with the golden gun' by OPI. This polish is so special!! As if real gold flakes arent luxurious enough, it also comes in wonderful packaging.

NYE nails

For New Years Eve (happy new year by the way!) I knew I wanted something sparkly... but I didn't feel like using glitter polishes because I hate taking them off. So I used two of my flakies polishes (and no top coat - they need that though, the polishes don't shine that much). I won't be posting in a while so enjoy these last pictures :D

Ice princess

I layered a strange iridescent polish (that I don't think I have ever used before) over one of my favourites; Essence's Absolutely blue (previously seen in this post). Because of the cool-toned, sparkly result I decided to name this manicure 'Ice princess'.

Les Supplies:

Essence - Absolutely blue

Luminelle (Yves Rocher) - Parme féerique

Sweet jelly sandwich

I decided to try out something new: a technique called "Jelly Sandwich".
For this type of manicure, you use a polish with a jelly finish, with a glitter polish in the middle. The jelly polish is the bread and the glittery one the spread.

If you want to buy 'It's a trap-eze' from China Glaze's most recent collection, don't, because the jelly sandwich is a great DIY-dupe! You would have to use a more grey-lavender jelly though.

Here's what I used:

MAX - neutral

Bourjois - Rosé sulfureux

OPI - Rainbow connection

Sandwich order:

One coat of the MAX polish

One coat of rosé sulfureux

One coat of rainbow connection

Two coats of rosé sulfureux

That made quite a thick but lovely sandwich =)

Flakie magic

Abracaflakiedabra

Flakies are like magic... it can be hard to capture their beauty in pictures, but I think the colour shift is surprisingly visible in these!

green --> blue

See the blue on the pinky and index finger?

So here's what I used:

NYC - City Blackout

Golden rose - scale effect 04

Essence - better than gel nails quick drying top sealer

Fairytale

Essence - Absolutely Blue 
Essence - Troy
