Nails! Nice & Neutral

*blows dust from blog* 

I can't believe it's been a year since I posted my last nail pictures... I'm not one for long explanations, but how about some new nail pics? I decided to go for something nice and neutral. Two coats of OPI - Don't Bossa Nova Me Around, stamped with a england - Her Rose Adagio. I wore Her Rose Adagio a couple of times and loved it. As you can see it's also amazing for stamping! The stamped design is from plate BM-406, one of the plates from the Bundle Monster 2013 'Create Your Own' stamping set. This organic design is one of my favourites from this set.

Thanks for watching!

Mix & Match

I'm a huge fan of mix and match manicures. I like to pile up a bunch of nail polishes on my bed and search for nice colour and finish combinations. For this mani I combined three polishes, Iced Latte from Essence, Pixy Stix from Orly (looks more muted irl) and Shimmer Polish - Airriann. Wow, such an amazing glitter mix! I used three coats and it's still in great shape after four days. 

Shimmer Polish is available at Cindy's Etsy shop for $12 a bottle.

Cirque - Never Nude

This lovely nude coloured prismatic polish is Never Nude from Cirque. The prismatic effect is really strong, it's a wonderful shade to wear on a sunny day! The formula of Never Nude was good, I used two coats for an opaque result. On the ring finger nail I applied two coats of OPI - Did You 'ear About Van Gogh? and I made dots with Never Nude. The first picture is most colour accurate.

Never Nude is part of Cirque's Dark Horse collection. This handmade collection is available on the Cirque website and locally in New York at Annie's stand at Hester Street Fair. Prices range from $12 to $16 (13.2 ml).

Teeez Boudoir Secrets Collection

Today I'm showing you a couple of nail polishes from the new Boudoir Secrets collection from Teeez.

"This elegant make-up collection is decorated with unique vintage charms that makes each product a treasure on its own, disguising the bold secrets inside. Because underneath the abundance hides a rebellious diva, like the 18th century queen of France Marie Antionette, who was passionate for the pleasures in life."

Teeez - Cool (04) is a light blue shade with a subtle silver shimmer. I really like the colour, but it was difficult to apply due to the thick formula. I swatched it twice 'cause it looked awful the first time (and I think every polish deserves a decent swatch), but I'm still not happy with how it looks on my nails, bummer! This is three coats.

Teeez - Gutsy (05) is a peachy nude coloured polish with gold shimmer. I can't say I'm a fan of this colour, but it applied much easier than Cool. Two coats.

Teeez - Femme Fatale (09) is a berry creme. Ahh, saved the best for last! This one is gorgeous and it applied like butter in two coats. 

To be honest, I'm not blown away by these nail polishes. Next to the unique shades Teeez made in the past, these three don't look so special. The packaging is cute though. :) Oh, but what's up with the names? I already own shades from Teeez called Cool and Femme Fatale. This can be somewhat confusing, I wish they gave them new names and not just a different number. 

Teeez nail polishes cost €4,90 for 8,5 ml. They're Big 3 Free. You can find more information on their website.

Gamax - Malva

Gamax Natural Summer Suggestion

I was in the mood for something subtle on my nails after wearing dark or neon nail polishes, so I chose to wear Malva from the Gamax Natural Summer Suggestion. 

Malva is a pinkish nude creme with a sophisticated, fresh look. Definitely work appropriate. What I really like about Malva is that it makes my hands look so tanned! My husband thought it looked great too, I've trained him to like every colour I wear, but I guess he was happy to see a less crazy colour on my nails for once. :O

The formula was ok, the only complaint I have is that it's a little bit on the watery side. I used three coats, no topcoat.

Thanks for watching!
