Latest haul..which has a happy ending ;)

This...is....the worst that can happen with shipped packages ;)

I wrote about it 2 posts earlier. I felt a little incomplete without this OPI - I'm all Ears, so I decided to replace it (I did get a refund for it by the company) and since it's no point to just let 1 bottle be shipped, a couple of it's friends were invited to come along as well ;)



The special edition OPI _Spotted I've already shown, as well as a combination of 2 Mini Mouse OPI's...and CG -  Pink Plumeria...

CG - Exotic Encounters, Adventure Red-Y, Kalahari Kiss

2 polishes from Orly's Dark Shadow collection; Decadesof Dysfunction (wich is actually a re-release of Pure Porcelain) and Mysterieus Curse.

Long wanted Barielle Elle's Spell..yay!!

Complete limited collection Cucuba by Catrice;
1.Sunny Side, 2.Reggeaton, 3.Salsa Cubana, 4.Havana Drum and 5.Take it Mint

tadaaaa I couldn't stay behind :) I was actually watching the website each day till these would be available to order.
Unlucky as I am1 bottle leaked a bit, hence the weird looking cap.

I've been wearing No plain Jane all week and it just started to peel at the edges, which is amazing!

I lub em :)

Have you seen this brush by Bourjois?! It's like 2 sided brush 1 end for dotting and the other for creating a french manicure. For a fun brush I thought it was a bit overpriced tbh...€6,95 if I can recall, but I got it with a discount of 25%...which is still plenty :) I haven't tried it yet, but I did find a blog, Pretty in the Desert, which has amazing tips/photo's by Bourjois!!

I'll finish today with a photo of some cupcakes which I made for my sweet sweet cousins first bday :) She's turning into such a cute little girl!!

nomnom banana and strawberry flavoured blue and purple cupcakes.

My latest swap :)

Can't believe I haven't showed you all this omg...cause I've been using the eyeshadows and blush for quite a bit now...

A while ago I had a swap with Anouk from CupcakeBeauty, she sent me a suprise swap package filled with goodies I love! We did agree on some color "requirements" but rest was all a big secret ;)

Look at that cute bag with the poodle!!! It was filled with some samples grey matte eyeshadow by Esenceand a quad as well, blush by Catrice. These 3 products I've used most atm, I love how the grey matte looks on my skin/with my eyes :) The peachy blush is just perfect! Dark green glitter polish, Yves Rocher tiny polishes in Argent etincelant 33 and Corail irise 11, Essence Absolutly Stylish 40, Gosh Golden Dragon 564 ( I can't get this color anywhere since they changed their looks, I looove his color ) and Yves Rocher Brun Peau 81..I havn't used this one yet but it looks a bit like a red with a hint of braun in it but with pink tiny sparkles in it. I thought this will be my xmas polish :) A sweet looking nailfile and Gosh eye shadow primer waterproof...which I need now rainy/snowy season has gebun and I ride my bicycle to work very often ggrrr

Catrice - Enter Wonderland LE

 This Catrice LE was available last week in my local Kruitvat...but it`s a good thing I took em all cause as usual...it's all sold out now :S Boehoee, and they have a wonderful sale buy 1 get 1 free, and they don't stock up :)

1 Forbidden Apple
2 Lavevenderlicious
3 Wonderland Green Card
4 Miracle Heaven

I'm showing you nr 3 Wonderland Green Card. In the picture I`m actually having 1 layer sandwiched between a bc and tc, and it looked very good!! Tbh a second layer of color wouldn't be necessary.

It`s a fresh bright green, which I'll be wearinga lot I think! Would love to try out some stamping on it....and with it!

Me & my new dotting toolsz

Yay, yesterday my cheap cheap dottingtools arrived and I had to try it out immediatly...even though I just got back from a late work meeting and had been at work for about 14hours ggrrr.

As base I`ve used Catrice - LE Lavender Breeze which has an extreeeeme tiny hint of lavender. I had to use 2 layers as the first one is very streaky. I`m not very fond of the color on it`s own. It would be perfect for dotting, stamping or decals indeed. For the dots I`ve used most of my Barry M colors I own; Boots LE which is a lovely mauvy purple, pink flamingo, mint green, vivid purple and blueberry. Topped it all with  CG fast forward topcoat.

I`ve done this mani yesterday evening, and it was actually a big hit at work today. I don`t have any tip wear at all, it looks amazing, so I`ll leave it another day ;)

Tiny shopping haul :)

I walked through our local Kruitvat today, I was actually trying to find some polishes for swaps. At a sudden point my eye got caught by the displays...what was that?!?! Did they really stock up on time with the new LE by Catrice and Essence...I couldn`t believe it haha actually I still can`t :) As I was filling up my basket I slowly realised I really should stop buying every polish in the LE they come up with.So I placed almost all back and just kept 2 polishes which I really love.

Actually I placed all 4 Essence polishes back in the display as they just didn`t had it for me. I only took home the nailstickers and the tiny nail viles, cause they`re just cute to look at :) Now Catrice gave me some more troubles. I went home with 2 polishes, 4 Walk in the Woods and 3 Lavender Breeze. A lipgloss 1 Pink Spring and eyeshadow 5 Walk in the Woods. Quite soft colors actually...hmm...perhaps my subconsious was in a pastelly spring mood !

Catrice - Urban Baroque LE

My local Kruitvat, the store which sell Catrice, Ghosh and Essence, is always soooo late with selling the LE of those brands that I`ve stopped whishing to walk in and buy an entire collection :S Until this week O_o I didn`t even plan on going in, only needed some shampoo and something lured me to the polish isle... Which was a good thing really cause they had 2 special displays up still filled with all polishes woooptiedoo :) I wasn`t really in the search of some french manicure colors, but with these prices i was happy to try out. Catrice' LE is called urban Baroque and contains 4 colors.

1. Pearls and Chain, 2. Rock Barock, 3. Princess & Ballerina and 4. Biscuits & Cupcakes. Each color has slight more pinkness then the number before, starting with very pale at 1 and very pink at 4. To be honoust 1 and 4 are not my favorites, I did like 2 and 3. In the picture on the right I`m wearing 3 layers of each color and it`s topped with Seche Vite.

They are a of great quality, the prices of Catrice polishes are amazing, but these 4 tbh...don`t really work for me. I like to change my polishes on a regular base and spice things up a bit with either color, glitters, Konading or whatever. These colors are too sweet :) I think I`ll place em on my swap-page soon ;)

Remember to join the **Give-Away** if you haven't already, ends 8th of Januari...after that 2 more will follow.

( the other collection I bought was the I love Berlin LE by Essence which I`ll show soon! )

Catrice - Hip Queens Wear Blue Jeans

One of 3 latest Catrice colors ( other would be; Run Forest Run! and Absolutly Chinchilly! ) and I think this is my favorite for now :) As you can see in the bottle it has a tiny shimmer...but I couldn`t find any on my nail :S Perhaps I need glasses hehe. I do love the color of blue, it`s a bit of a warm blue. I can use it with some Konad on it, or add some glitters ( in the photo below ) or just leave it plain this color. I did apply 2 coats, but if you work it well 1 layer would be sufficient as well, very thick pigmented substance. I like it!!

I added a little layer of China Glaze - Dollhouse to the blue Catrice, to spice it up a bit. I love the pink big glimmer and glamour all over my nails this way. And since they`re rather short it doesn`t look trashy at all :)

Off to some serious cookie-baking now!! I`m going to decorate cookies with a 2,5 year old in 3 hours :) ( she`s not mine btw )
