Nfu Oh #039 (flakie)

Hi!

As I said in my previous post, I tried the flakie from Nfu Oh yesterday. It’s #039 and it’s a green/blue flakie.

I used it over a plain black polish, from Rimmel (Blackout).

And this is the result:

Nfu Oh haul & Nfu Oh holo (#061) swatch!

Hi!

Today I got my Nfu Oh order in the mail. I ordered them at NailXL. I’m sooooo excited about these polishes. I’ve read about them, how they are very spectacular and the best holos around. I ordered #061 (a holo), #039 (a flakie) and the must-have Aqua Base (without it, holos are just a disaster). Here’s my experience with #061…

NOTD – Rimmel Urban Purple with Konad

Hi!

Last week I’ve been very busy so I didn’t update my blog. I had 3 exams in 1 week and they were my last. Ever. Well, at least that’s what I hope :P I want to apologize for the state of my cuticles. While I was doing my very last exam, I bit my index finger. I didn’t even notice it until it began to hurt :( I tore off a whole chunk of skin. But now the stress is over and I can begin to pamper them again.

I decided to use one of my recently purchased colors. There was a 1+1 offer at the drugstore, so I bought 2 colors from Rimmel: Urban Purple and Magnetise. I used Magnetise as stamping color for a subtle effect.

This color is really hard to capture. It’s in between red and pruple. Kinda like a beet-color. Very nice. It’s nowhere near as bright as in this picture:

Cuticle Care – My Favorites: Lush, Rose&Co and Yves Rocher

Hi!

Today I wanted to do a blogpost about cuticle care, because this is so important for healthy nails. I think it’s even more important than taking care of your actual nails. Your cuticle is where your nail is born, so if it’s damaged there, it will not get any better because nails are made of dead material.

This article was actually a “page”, but I decied I want it in the sidebar as special link, and not at the top of the page next to “Home” and “About”. It doesn’t belong there.

I will show you my favorite products and how I use them.

Trind Nail Balsam – does it work?

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post about my experience with Trind Nail Balsam so far.

I have been applying nailpolish almost non-stop for the last couple of months and my nails were really beginning to take the toll. They were dry and started to peel and chip, something I have NEVER happen to me before. So it was time for some moisture :)
I had read good things about Trind nailcare products and decided to spend 13 euros on 9 ml of Trind Nail Care Balsam. It’s a lot of money for so little product, so it’d better work!

INM Out The Door vs. Seche Vite – part 1

Hi everyone!

First of all I would like to wish you a Happy New Year!

In my last post, I promised an INM Out The Door vs. Seche Vite battle. So here it goes.

As you may or may not know, Seche Vite and INM Out The Door are two of the most favorite topcoats in the nail polish world. They both claim to be very fast drying, extend wear and give a high shine finish. Because this comes at a price, namely shrinkage, I wanted to know how the two compare on several areas.

I’m going to split it up in 2 parts. The first part will focus on application, drying time, and of course, shrinkage. For this, I only did 2 nails: my 2 middle fingers. The second part will focus primarily on wear and durability. Because this takes a few days and I really wanted to update my blog, this is the reason behind the splitting.

INM Out The Door Northern Lights & my Christmas nails!

Hi!

First of all, I’ve been a bit busy the last week because I had an exam yesterday (yes, yesterday!) so I have been learning and was stressed out. That’s why I haven’t done my nails since the last time I updated my blog. They needed a break anyway. I have been treating them with Trind Nail Balsam to restore the moisture. My nails are peeling because of all the crap I put on them the last few months. Also, it’s cold here so my heating is on all day long and that means everything is drying out. I’m being mummified alive. My hair is dry, my skin, my cuticles, my nails. That’s why I can’t let them grow that long anymore… I hope Trind is going to help me. Will let you know!

Anyway, I had to do my nails for Christmas :) I ordered a new topcoat from INM (Out The Door) at Enchantra because they were on sale (I paid €5,01 per bottle; normally they are €7,95 for a bottle of 15 mL) . Were, so not anymore unfortunately. I ordered the normal one, and the Northern Lights one in Silver. I thought it would be nice for Christmas. I ordered them at half past 12 at night on the 22nd (so it was the 22nd for half an hour already) and they arrived the 23rd! Right on time.

I have been searching for a good topcoat that doesn’t shrink as much as Seche Vite. I will do a “Seche Vite vs. INM Out The Door battle” soon. For now I will describe my experience with INM Out The Door Northern Lights. This is a regular INM Out The door topcoat with holographic glitter.
