Rainbow Sprinkled Free Hugs

I can't tell you how much I've missed my polished nails and blogging about it! The eczema on my fingers is not entirely gone, but it looks and feels much better. Thanks for all the sweet comments on my previous post. ♥

Today I'm showing you Rainbow Sprinkles, a super gorgeous glitter topper from JENsations. I love it so much, look how cheery and colourful! For this mani I dabbed the glitter only on the tips. The base colour I'm wearing is Free Hugs from Essence; I had to use three coats to get an even surface. Free Hugs has a deeper pink tone in real life.

You can find Rainbow Sprinkles in Jen's Etsy shop for $8,00 (10 ml).

Thanks for watching!

Taking a Break + a england Tess D'Urbervilles

I hoped to post earlier, but at the moment I have a bad case of dyshidrotic eczema on most of my fingers. I can wear nail polish, but using nail polish remover hurts like hell and worsens the eczema. So I have to take a little break from polishing (and thus posting, bluh). Hope to be back soon of course! I have a lot of inspiration and beautiful nail polishes to show you. The last polish I wore was Tess D'Urbervilles, one of a england's Gothic Beauties. I love wearing black and this is black with something extra: beautiful emerald flecks. Absolutely amazing! Love the formula, too. This is two coats plus top coat.

The Gothic Beauties are available now on the a england website (£9.00 for 13 ml).

Thanks for watching! :h

Vacation Pictures Sicily

It was hard to make a nice selection, but here they are. Enjoy! :)

The Cathedral of Siracusa

Back to Blog!

Hi lovely reader! I'm back from Sicilia. :D My husband and I had such a great time.. we did a lot, saw a lot (ate a lot ^^) and took a ton of pictures. During my vacation I wore For Audrey from China Glaze on my nails. I couldn't have chosen a better polish, it's an amazing colour and the wear time was really great (I took the above picture after nine (!) days). In the background you can see a folding screen from one of the apartments we rented with Audrey Hepburns face on it. How's that for a coincidence!

Thanks for watching!

p.s. At the moment I'm sorting through my vacation pictures, let me know if you want to see a selection. :)

Sweet Gradient Nails & Cake

This time my nails inspired me to make a cake. I was wearing this pink gradient mani when I decided to make a cake for my husband (last Friday we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary!). Well, why not try to make it a gradient cake? It's not an exact match to the nails (I only had red food colouring), but I like it muchos! ^^ For the nails I used three coats of Barry M - Bright Pink and Gamax - Rosa Shocking to make the gradient. Then I added one layer of JENsations - Be My Valentine. A great glitter topper with hot pink and light pink hexes and light pink hearts. I had to fish a little for the hearts, but other than that it's a nice polish to work with.

You can find Be My Valentine in Jen's Etsy shop for $7,50/€6,13 (10 ml).  

Thanks for watching!
