ANNY - Green Hills

I was overwhelmed when I saw the ANNY stand at perfumerie Douglas. There were just too many gorgeous colours to choose from! Take a look on their website and you know what I mean. And the bottle shape.. LOVE it! I had to take one bottle home, I picked Green Hills. Green Hills is a blackened green polish with a jelly-like consistency. It looks mostly black indoors, but outside or under my daylight lamp I can definitely see the green. I adore this colour, it makes me so happy! :D I used two coats of Green Hills and both coats went on smooth and even. The flat brush is easy to handle.

ANNY nail polishes cost €9.50 per 15ml. A bit on the expensive side for me, but I'm afraid I have to try more colours!

Windmillion Glitter Sandwich

Today I'm showing you glitter sandwich nails (polish-glitter-polish). I started with applying two coats of Thanks a Windmillion from OPI and one coat of Essence - Blair. Blair needs some thinner, all the glitter was clumping together, argh! But still, an awesome glitter polish.. I think I need a backup bottle. ♥ To complete the sandwich I added one coat of China Glaze - Innocence. The result was a bit lumpy after that, so I decided to use a layer of matte top coat. I kinda like how this looks, but I don't think I'll keep it on my nails for more than a day. Let's say it was a nice experiment. ^_^

Essie - School of Hard Rocks & CND Effects - Crimson Sparkle

The two nail polishes I used here were part of my last Transdesign order and I just couldn't wait to wear them. I'm not sure if this is the best combination, but I do know both polishes are a-ma-zing. Essie - School of Hard Rocks is a dusty greenish teal creme. A difficult colour to photograph, so it's obviously the perfect choice to wear when you're learning to work with a new camera. :|| SoHR looks more greyed out/dustier in real life, it's a beautiful shade that appeals to me a lot! Formula was great, I applied two coats. Then I added one coat of Crimson Sparkle from the CND Effects range. I'm telling you nothing new, but the Effects polishes from CND really are the bomb!

Beware of the Cat

When my new Konad plates arrived I immediately fell in love with the cute little bird on plate m83. For this mani I applied two coats of Eyeko - Rain Polish and stamped not one, but two birds on my ring finger nail with Konad Special Nail Polish in Black. It looked cute, but I felt something was missing so I added a naughty cat face (for the cat and the line I used a small paint brush and black acrylic paint). Yes, now it's complete. I have a little story on my nails! :)

I'm not only excited about this mani, but also about my new camera! Of course I have to get used to it(s weight), but it takes much better pictures than my compact camera, without a doubt. I'm hooked. ♥

Dangerous Rainbow

I felt a bit uninspired today. Then, as I was looking through my Helmer drawers, I spotted Rainbow from Gosh. Perfect! I applied two coats of p2 - Dangerous and one thin coat of Rainbow. Flakies :L

Thanks for watching and have a lovely weekend! 

Pink & Bows

Yesterday my husband and I celebrated eight years together! The perfect occasion to bake my sweet and supportive man a cake. With a bow and tiny hearts. ♥ 

After I was done decorating the cake I had no energy left to do my nails, so I did them this morning. I applied three coats of Barry M - Bright Pink, a beautiful yummy candy pink (apparently my camera hates photographing pink, Bright Pink looks less blue-toned irl). Then I added one of the bows from image plate M59 with Konad Special Nail Polish in White and a light pink rhinestone. I was thinking about adding little hearts, but I'm glad I didn't.. I like it simple these days. ^_^

a england - Ascalon

"Forged by magic and guided by our hero's sainted hand, the steely grey of his spire is alive with a swirling heart of lavender fire."

Today I'm showing you a england - Ascalon, another nail polish from The Legend collection. I think Ascalon is an incredibly cool nail polish, I already wore it twice in two weeks. Now that says something, believe me! Ascalon is a steel grey coloured polish with a good amount of prismatic particles. It also has a subtle duochrome effect; I mostly see a purple flash, but at certain angles there's a golden green colour visible. It's hard to photograph, but the green is definitely there! The formula was excellent, I used two coats. 

The Legend nail polishes are available now on the a england website (£9.00 for 13 ml).

Bella Flora

If this is what you're thinking right now: "Whoa, what a cool colour, I need that nail polish!", then I suggest not buying Bella from Essence, 'cause Bella looks much greener than my picture shows. If you're looking for a fabulous sea green creme though, this nail polish will not disappoint! Bella glides on smoothly and two coats are enough for an opaque result. The flower image I used for my ring finger nail.. ahh, I like it so, so much. It's my all-time favourite Konad image, no joke! You can find it on image plate M20. The stamping polish I used is Konad Special Nail Polish in White and I placed a dot in the middle of the flower with Charla from Zoya. And can I say I love my top coat? So shiny! ♥

a england - Dragon

"Like sunlight glinting off his iridescent mossy green scales, the fearsome Dragon lays basking arrogantly, awaiting his due."

Ahh, I love the nail polish descriptions on the a england website. And I love the nail polishes too. It's quite obvious why, I mean, look at this one.. look! It's Dragon from a england's The Legend collection. A collection that consists of not one, but two unique green nail polishes! This is a dream come true, thanks Adina. ♥ Dragon is not your regular green nail polish, I also see copper shimmers and a mesmerizing scattered prismatic effect on my nails. Put green pigments and prismatic particles in one bottle and I'm in love! The formula was nice and smooth, I used two coats.

Indigo Lunar Eclipse

I love snow. But when it starts snowing at the moment I want to photograph my fresh new mani, I hate snow. I wish I had more pictures to show you, this looks so awesome! Recently I finally bought Barry M - Indigo, an insanely gorgeous blurple creme (the colour was hard to capture on camera, it looks much deeper and purplier irl). Indigo applied beautifully, two coats were enough for full opacity. I wanted to add something to it without losing too much of that beautiful colour so I lightly sponged the tips of my nails with Lunar Eclipse from Orly. This is a dreamy combination, I like it very much! Indigo is such a stunner, why haven't I bought it earlier? In my experience Barry M never disappoints!

Thanks for watching and enjoy your weekend!

a england - Saint George

source

You have no idea how excited I am about the new collection, called 'The Legend', from the brand a england. The story behind this collection appeals to me a lot, because Saint George is the patron saint of the city I live in. The city's oldest preserved seal dates back to the 14th century; this seal shows Saint George attacking the dragon to save princess Sabra (you can see her on the right). Fun to see, don't you think? Now it feels like this collection really comes to life!

Today I'm showing you Saint George. Wow, wow, wow! I love everything about it; the rich and deep colour, the prismatic sparkles, the formula... Perfection. It applied like butter, two easy coats for beautiful green nails. My new go-to polish for sure. Or am I too quick? I have more Legends lovelies to show you, can't wait to try them!

The Legend will be available soon on the a england website. Oh, and don't forget to take a look at The Mythicals. ♥
