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 past 1,5 months..

 Helloooo

so I was a little abscent :) and things happend as live just goes on and on and on....

I'll do a quick photoshoot of the past 1,5 months;

We've had some extreme fruits-of-the-region in our fridge for a while. lot's of strawberries, cherries and raspberries. Actually it was way too much as we ended up making smoothies with the raspberries cause we've had them for a while they already went squishy in their tiny cardboard boxes.

I've planted 4 different kind of seeds and 3 came out which are; basil, peppers and tomatoes. I wonder when the plants will give me their fruits s the weather is terrrrible here atm, only raining. I actually don't dare to put the plants outside now cause I'm afraid they'll get too much water/rain and that will just ruin all the "hard" work. So I'll just spoil them now inside the house and we'll just see how it'll go.

I baked cakes....and this is one of them. that same day I bought a new silicon mold for the bird/cherryblossom tree. Don't know how that would be for you, but when I buy something I immediatly wanna try it out. it's no fancy cake it's just 2layer spongecake with a cherry flavoured extremely purple colored icing nomnomnom. cause it was such a light snack it was gone in a couple of days :)

On to the polishes woooop
In this picture I finally try sort of a half moon manicure. The black polish is Illamasqua - Scorn, with Sephora by OPI - Shiny Dancer and topped it with Seche Vite...I love the blueish metallic look of Shiny Dancer and Scorn is one of the best blacks to work with...specially since it's originale a matte one.

 My favorite neonish pink/coral!!!!

China Glaze - Pink Plumera.

I was eager to pick out a pink colored from CG latest neon colors but it was soooo hard. I watched so many swatches and I decided on Pink Plumera and i ahven't regreted it at all!!! i love, it would look even better on a taned skin, but on pale it works out well :)

I've been waiting for this collection to be available for a while. I love pinks (and purples...) and i knew I had to have all 4 of teh OPI - Mini Mouse polishes...unfortunatly during the trip to my house 1 of the 4 bottles exploded and made a complete mess of the entire package, but I'll just re-order it cause i want them complete :)

I'm wearing If you Moust, you Moust with Nothin' Mouse about it, topped with Seche Vite.

This is actually the most amazing polish ever made!!!  Not the blue one but the black ;)
I'm wearing China Glaze - Techno Tael in 2 coats and topped it with....OPI - Spotted yessss

My special french friend :) has arranged a bottle for me during a tiny swap, big thnx to her mom, and i'm in love with it. I try not to use it too much, as I don't want to run out of it.
I'm still very into crackle polishes...no idea why?! But this one is just...special :)







Well that was kind of a fast forward view, I'm off to do my nails!!! Ooow I should really show my uber stash of swap goods from MUA. the pile is getting bigger and bigger :)

OPI Muppets!!!!

A while ago I received an email from Dollupnails, one of the online shops where I regularly buy polishes. OPI-Muppets collection was available for preordering. As I scrolled down their website I instantly knew which other polishes I wanted to add to the order, but to pick out a couple of Muppets' oeehh that was so difficult!

I tried to search down swatches, but it was hard since the collection avaible yet. And the only photos available were from nailwheels or small presskits it seemed cause I saw the same colors each time. So trying to make a decision I came to the following colors;

Excuse moi!, Rainbow Connection, Divine Swine, Gone Gonzo!, Meep Meep Meep
2x Merry Midnight, Crown me Already!, Pink Shatter

This is one of the few collections I was reaalllyy looking forward to and had my hopes set on getting some :) So the fact that it was only just a pre-order and I had to wait a while, didn't spoil any of my fun, it was pure excitement! As always my order arrived perfectly (perfectly packed, always great communication through emails) and it felt like a little xmas party in October with all those glitsorz haha. The only thing I regret is not having picked out more colors ....  ;)

For Jette, and the rest of you sweeties ;)

Specially for Jette...and all my other readers ofc, 2 of CND effect polishes which have been part of my stash for quite some time now but don`t get used that often. Sparkle effect Raspberry and Jade( I also own Tael, but I swatched it before )

I`ve used 4 colors of polish on both hands, 2 layers, and then added Raspberry to my left hand and Jade to my right hand. After some photos I thought it would be fun to show you what a matte tc would do as well...cause I lub it a lot!

Green = OPI - Jade is the New Black, purple/taupe = OPI - Planks a Lot, black = Nfu Oh - 132 and grey/creme = OPI - Skull & Glossbones.

For mattefying effect I`ve added a layer of China Glaze - Matte Magic

I loooove this kind of effect on polishes. You can combine it with so many other colors and brands. You truely create something new, so I can`t tell you which is my favorite either. I only know it works perfect, glides on great, dries medium/fast...I do always end up using a fast drying topcoat and it`s way easier to clean off then glitters ..tha horrorrr!!!  Hmm I haven't tried using them both together over a color yet...wonder what that would look like :)

What I bought in NY :)

Hmm where shall I start :)

I bought... 2 pairs of Uggs, 1 pair of Ugg insoles, 2 Levis jeans, 1 GAP jeans, 2 GAP sweaters, 3 Juicy Couture shirts, 1 House shirt, couple of headbands from Ricky's NY (can`t remember the brand, I had to cut off all tags :S ) Anna Sui bag, Anna Sui nail polish( 307...I totally forgot to bring my wishlist grr ), UD Naked palette, UD eye primer ( golden shimer ), MAC mineral blush, MAC blush brush, L`oreal souffle fond de teint ( can`t get those here yet! ), special eye liner brush, Magnolia Bakery cookbook, StarBucks coffee mug, StarBucks mocha coffee sticks andd normally I would buy a nice perfume to end a trip. Something that reminds me of the city. But since I had a terrible cold/couldn`t smell anything...and I had the strong desire to buy a pair of earstuds at tifanny...the earstuds won. Teeny tiny little silver bowshaped.

Is this all?! no not yet...polishes still!!

Seche Rebuild & Recondition...these were actually free at Slly Beauty as I purchased 4 bottles of China Glaze :) Sally Hansen crackle overcoat Vintage Violet, CG Senorita Bonita, Cha cha cha, Secret Peri-Wink-Le, Crushed Candy ( crackle yay! ), OPI suede Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow, matte Alpine snow ( finally I can make some nice french manicures ), La Paz-Itively Hot, Spark de triomphe, Zoya Marley, Crystal, Dannii, Sally Hansen HD DVD, 2x Seche Vite ( they were on sale at SB ), Out the Door Northern Lights holo topcoat, SOPI Who Let the Dorks Out? ( Glee edition ), I Don`t Bite ( Safari edition ), SinfulColors Cream Pink, Dream On, Essie Smooth Sailing, Finger Paints Art Dealer Tael-er, All you need is Color, Hue left a message? and a lovely rose-bag I received free with 3 Finger Paints :)


Am I satisfied with my shoppingspree?! I`ll be honoust...no..in a city like that, its never enough ;) We had an amazing time, and I`m very very happy with what I bought. Everything still needs to be used and tried ofc, but some moments...I just think...what if...and oeh I should have... ;)

Serena Glam Slam red

Thanks to Carolina I received one of the Glam Slam editions from OPI. These are very hard to get in my silly country, and I feel so lucky now :) I hope your Gosh - Holo will arrive soon Carolina!!!

The shimery one is called Rally Pretty Pink...and it is!! I haven`t tried it yet, but it looks amazing in the bottle. Gold shimmer all over in a pink/red base, topped with a vibrant red creme crackle coat...can`t wait :)

double OPI

I always think it`s a waste to use up glitter polishes. most I own really need 3...some even 4 layers to make it all nice shiney all full of glitters. As I`ve seen on many other blogs, this was actually quite handy ofc. First take a polish which is somewhat similar to the colors of glitters and then top it with 1 or 2 layers of glitters. That way you can still have the same color, but with less glitter polish ;)

In this photo I`m wearing 1 layer of Yodel Me on My Cell covered with 2 thin layers of Last Friday night, both by OPI

OPI Skull & Glossbones + Silver Shatter

The lovely light grey from OPI`s - Pirates edition. Lovely as in shade and structure ofc. I used 2 thin coats on top of a bc, waited a while to dry completly and then applies a thin layer of Silver Shatter. In the pictures it`s quite clear to see it`s a shatter/crackle polish, but in rl this combo is hardly noticable. I`d rather use it on the pink/purple or on Mermaid's Tears.


Wooptiedoooo today my new phone finally arrived :) I mentioned a while ago I wanted  anew phone as I was about to expand my subscription...but I had the wrong date in mind ggrr so an extra 2 months waiting and now I have it woop! Smasung Galaxy Ace, white edition. I`ve put myself on a quick course of how to use Twitter haha, ow boy do I need training....

OPI In The Spot-Light Pink + I Juggle...Men

These were taken pre Gelac. A lovely soft pink which builds up strong layer after layer...very suitable for french manicures, topped with 1 layer of tiny glitters from I Juggle...Men. The pinky is the pinkest one from the Cirque de Femme collection released by OPI and I looove it! I love the jellynes of the polish, it truely glides on your nail, after 3 layers its a very cute soft pink. This is I think my new favorite for indeed french manicures...if only I could find a descent white :S

for sale / for swap

As I mentioned in a post earlier, I had ordered OPI's - Pirates of the Caribbean 2 times by "accident". I ordered them at seperate netshops as pre-orders but/and luckily I had the chance of getting them at both weeee.

But what to do with them?! I already used some from the first USA shipment, so the other one Singapore shipment is a spare i would like to get rid of :) (As you can see each bottle has a little sticker attacked, which is easily removed. It`s a waranty seal all my OPI polishes from that store have, can be pealed of very well ) I still have a Black Shatter which I don`t "need" and would love to give a good home.

If someone would like to buy all 8 or swap them let me know, I like to sell/swap as a set (with or without Black Shatter)

At the same day I bought Catrice - Enter Wonderland LE I got my hands on 2x Gosh Holo!!!!!! (with fixed base-coat) I couldn`t leave them for the anounced buy 1 get 1 free, cause I was sure they would be gone by that time! I will try to keep an eye out at the shop, but since I'm not very fond of our Kruitvat anymore max. visits will be 2 times a week when I`m at work.

These are not for sale ;) Can only be swapped, they go as a pair ( 1Holo + 1fbc), let me know if you`re itnerested :)


"added 14th May""
for some reason all comments on this blogentry are gone :S...I have not deleted them myself...and I cannot trace em back in Blogger either :S I`m very sorry for not responding...but I have no clue where the comments went :S....

Ooeehh goodies :)

Hhmmm...hhhmmm....I actually wanted to show something else...but my order of OPI -Pirates of the Caribbean came in today and I`m all excited to show it woop!!

lower row; Steady As She Rose, Sparrow Me The Drama, Planks a Lot, Silver Shatter, Mermaids Tears, Skull & Glossbones, Stranger Tides.

Ahhh I looove these colors, I fell in love the moment I read about it on other peoples blogs. I so desperatly wanted this that I made pre-oders with 2 differnt companies...and both shipped it out :S Tomorrow I can get my other package from the postoffice...

And aalll these polishes have to wait a little cause I have some nice Catrice - Enter Wonderland ones I want to show first!

minty minty ;)

I`m already in looove with this color. Usually I`m more of a pink/lilac/purple girl, the more glitters the better as well, but for some reason I have a weak for minty colors as well. This OPI -Damone Roberts 1968...is amazing!!! Perfect polish, 2 thin layers was all it needed :)

Just to show you my favorite minties I`ve used China Glaze - For Audrey (is it a green...or is it a blue..for me it`s a minty), Sinful Colors - Mint Apple, Barry M - Mint Green and ofc the lovely OPI one. Only Mint Apple has a slight shimmer, rest are cremes. Only a basecoat, 2 layers of each polish and a topcoat...hhmmm this actually looks funny. I wonder what they`ll say at work tomorrow ;)

OOowww myyy Damone Roberts!!!

A while ago I got a little shock when i was going through my inbox-mails. I got a message from Daph from Nailswatches, saying I had won her **Give-Away**. Totally in shock, cause I really didn`t think I made any chance of winning a bottle of OPI - Damone Roberts 1968.

I received the package, and  Daph stuffed with more goodies :) Nail art pens from Essence, nail art striper from Essence, load of samples, Models Own - Magenta Divine ( my first Models Own!! ), tiny LE Manhatten, P2 thinner...isn`t she just a sweetheart!!

We hope to read your blogentries soon again Daph!!, we`ll all be waiting :)

ooeehh glittsorz from Barry M

A while ago Sarah contacted me about organising a little swap, she had high interest in Essence stamping plates and ow boy I would love to have some Barry M polishes :) This weekend the mailman stopped by to deliver the package and I literaly ripped it open as I closed the door...wwooooww!! It contained some yummy chocolates, Racing Green, Once Upon a Time, Silver Cascade and a LE from Boots :) love love love them!!

Just before we went to a bday party this after noon this polish just came out so handy ;) As there would be many little kids, up till 3 yrs, I thought some glitter would be great! I layered it over  OPI - It`s totally Fort Worth It ( 2layers ) And indeed it was noticed within minutes by one of the little girls.
( the little spot on my finger..is actually from a blister I got. I went to a jewelry workshop with my mom and I was carving and working on the silverware so hard i didn`t notice I was actually hurting myself :S Pictures of the ring that I`m making will follow once I`m done...in 2 months I think hahaha )

I had a little silly action with Lola. She is almost 2 yrs old but still an extremly vivid, playful little thing and loves/needs her attention. I sometimes really need to make sure to get away from my computer or tv just to play a little with her. We started a little game a while ago where I would lay around...on bed, the couch or in this case the floor and I would make kitty sounds and miauw at her...O_o she responds to it!! We really talk. And then she comes to me and cuddles before she goes into ADHD attack again :) She`s such a sweetie!

OPI Not Like The Movies + Black Shatter

2 layers of Not Like The Movies covered with 1 layer of Black Shatter. I think I have to get used to the color of NLTM, I find it rather facinated ;) I can`t tell you it`s a pink, purple, grey or green. it`s all mixed up really. But I don`t consider it to be a duochrome polish :S But then again who am I haha. It`s a rather sheer polish, I think it would work better with 3 layers, but i couldn`t wait to BS!! Which is one of the best crackle polishes imo! Yes it dries incredible fast, but it dries up rather smooth. I did end up using a topcoat, cause i`m not that into matte crackles. These crackles didn`t felt bumpy or anything at all, very very smooth ( I`ll update my Swap-page soon as I still have 1 BS laying around I`m not going to use )

OPI Guy Meets Gal-veston

This just has to be my favorite polish of the week :) I`ve never owned a more jelly like polish, I love love love it!!! Not only the color, which is exactly like the picture shows. A mix between red, pink and coral and I`m very in love with it. I saw a great tutorial about how great this kind of OPI polishes are for layering. Can use it with 1,2,3 or even more layers, depending on your whishes. As I imagined it being so see-through and watery it would get all streaky and yuck....but no way. It just glides on your nail, holds on pretty long no tipwear at all after 2 days which is a huge plus for me. It was easy to clean of from my nails and certainly did not stain at all. Most of the polishes I buy are because they caught my eye during a little routine check on other peoples blogs, and I will tell you all....go buy this one!! :)
