Let it Glitter - Oh Wow!


Let it Glitter is a dutch indie polish brand and is fairly new to the indie market. The woman behind this brand, Suzanne, is such a sweetheart. She first started posting photos of her manicures on her blog, but after a while she wanted to take things to the next level and create her own glittery polishes! And I'm glad she did!

Pshht! She released her Winter Wonderland collection about a week ago, so make sure to check out her information at the end of this blogpost.


Oh Wow! is a super cute glitter topper with a mix of big hot pink hexes and slightly smaller turquoise and white hexes. I've always loved the combination (hot)pink + tuquoise, so this polish is perfect for me.


Oh Wow! applied quite smoothly but I had to dab the glitters a bit on the nail, no major issues though! I layered one (dabbing) coat over Cadillacquer Yeah Science! and I think it makes a wonderful combination. I also added one layer of Essie Good to Go.

By the way, I'm so happy this polish comes in a square-ish bottle. I luv those bottles! + the packaging is too cute, Suzanne attached a little card to the polish!


Let it Glitter is available through Etsy, the polishes sell for €7 which is $9-10. Also, make sure to check out her blog and her Facebookpage!

Do you like this kind of glitter combinations?

Gosh Frosted Sand - Frosted Purple


Hello hello hellooooooo. Today I will be showing you one polish of the new Gosh Autumn/Winter collection, Frosted Purple. And it is, indeed, a liquid sand. My first everrrrrrr! 


Even though the name of this lacquer is Frosted Purple, to me it looks more like a grey with just a hint of purple. Nonetheless, I think it is a beautiful shade. Shown in the pictures is two coats of Frosted Purple on it's own, without a topcoat so you can see the effect. Duh.
It applied really nicely and I felt that it dried pretty quickly too.


In the picture above you can see the polish also has some bigger hex glitter in it, which makes it even more glittery. YAY!

For my readers in the Netherlands and Belgium, Gosh is available at Kruidvat for €7,29.
I know Gosh is also available through Superdrug, but I'm not quite sure where else. Let me know in the comments below!

The Dexter Collection: Keep Breathing


Hi! Today I will be showing you Keep Breathing created by Cadillacquer. It's part of The Dexter Collection, as most of you might know!


Keep Breathing has a turquoise base packed with green and white flakies and lilac and purple hex glitter. If you're looking for the perfect Summer shade, well this one might be it!


As all other Cadillacquer polishes, this one's formula was yet again, a dream. It does feel a tad thinner than the other lacquers, but it it heaven to work with. Shown in the pictures is 3 coats.


I wore this polish for one week straight! AND: on day 7 I had some minor (teenytiny) chipping and a little tipwear on all my nails. Sounds great? IT ISSSS.


I feel like I'm constantly repeating myself, which I'm actually doing. Again. So, here we go. You can buy Cadillacquer on Etsy and Llarowe and make sure to like them on Facebook too!

See ya tomorrow!

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! So, this is how nail art-y I can get at the moment. Things are still a bit busy, but that will change prettypretty quick. Hopefully that means: more time for nail art!


When I was wearing this manicure, a girl at the bus station asked me if I did it myself, because she really liked it. I was like: ohhhh yesyesyes *gigglegiggle*, thank you! And that, ladies and gentlemen, made my entire week!

Products used:
Essie - Lilacism
Only You - White French
Nail art brush from Born Pretty Store
Essence - Top Sealer


 I have some pretty exciting things coming up, so stay tuned for that. For those of you who want to have a sneaky peaky, check out Cadillacquer's Facebookpage! (and like it!)

Forever Polished - Pastel Me Right


I'm back with another Forever Polished lacquer! YAY, CONFETTI, YAY! This time I will be showing you Pastel Me Right. I won't let you wait any longer, so without further ado: LET'S MOVE ON! (to the swatches ofcours)


Here is what Ashley had to say about Pastel Me Right: "Pastel Me Right is a lilac shimmer base
with added pastel shapes. From hearts, stars, shreds, and fine glitter."


It is kind of a frosty pastel shade with a beautiful shimmer in in!



I painted on 3 coats of Pastel Me Right to get a full coverage. I smoothed it out with my Essence - Top Sealer. It applied super easy and drying time is OK as usual. I did fish a bit for the stars, and I was not able to catch a little heart, mememe.


I usually do not like frosty polishes, but this one is the exception I think!

You can find Forever Polished on Facebook and you can buy Ashley's beauties on Bigcartel!

Put A Ring On it!


Today I will show you these cool studs/rings from Born Pretty Store! They are super fun and easy to use. I have been wanting something like this for aaaages, so I was pretty happy when they arrived!


I used Essence Lilac Is My Style, from the Snow Jam LE, as my base colour. Then I put some clear polish on my nails, picked up the rings with a dotting tool and put them in place. I also added a little round stud above the ring and that came out really pretty, I think! I sealed it all in with Essence Top Sealer.

You can find these rings* at Born Pretty Store. They sell for $5.83 and they are available in silver and gold. If you are planning on buying these, don't forget to use my code: AYJ61 and get 10% off!

Did you pick something up from the Essence Snow Jam LE?
