essie Fall 2016 Collection Florals | Nail Art

Hello guys! Summer is still here (kind of) and the Fall Collection are already showing up. Today I will be showing you a floral nail art I created using the new essie Fall 2016 Collection. With names likes Playing Koi, Go Go Geisha and Kimono-over, this collection breathes Japan. This new collection is inspired by Tokyo and captures the city’s wild street style, eclectic cuisine and riot of autumnal colors. I will be posting swatches of all the colours very soon, but for now: only nail art ;-). <3

essie Summer 2016 - 4th of July inspired | Nail Art

Hi guys! Oh my goddd, regular nail polish! Yup, regular nail polish, yay! Sometimes you gotta switch things up, right? So recently, I was sent the new essie Summer 2016 Collection. This collection is inspired by Rebecca Minkoff's travels to Antigua. There is an off-white crème, a turquoise green with a gorgeous shimmer and some darker shades. Something for everyone, really! When I saw the colours, I immediately had some favourites and combinations in my head. Want to see what I came up with? Then keep reading! <3

essie Summer 2016 | Swatch & Review

Hi guys! Summer is here, or should be here. In Belgium, Summer is more like Fall. It sucks, so badly.. Fortunately, there are Summer collections, yay! Today I will be showing you the new essie Summer 2016 collection. It is inspired by Rebecca Minkoff's travels to Antigua. At first, the colours looked quite random to me, but after doing some nail art with them I saw that they actually go very well together. Very well². So without further ado, let's take a look at the pictures, shall we? Yes, we shall! <3

ProNails Whatta Watermelon & Pastel Kiwi | Swatch & Review

Hey guys! Today it is that kind of posts again.. Regular nail polish! ProNails released their new Spring collection, the L.A. Juice Bar Collection. This collection consists of six happy colours, some nail stickers and nail patches. All very fruity and tropical, I like! I received two colours: Whatta Watermelon and Pastel Kiwi. Want to see some swatches?

Nailbox January Edition | Review & Nail Art

Hi guys! I guess I might as well call it nail polish week, because YES again nail polish today! Today I will be reviewing my first ever Nailbox. The people behind Nailbox were kind enough to sent me their January edition for review. I was so excited, because I really did not know what to expect. 

When the box arrived, I immediately dived in and discovered four polishes, wraps and (!!!) a fortune cookie. So much first-timers in this box, haha. My first large Morgan Taylor polish, my first Nails Inc, first Color Club and Nail Essentials and my first ever fortune cookie! The fortune cookie probably was the highlight of my day, haha. 

I must say, not all Nailboxes are the same. Yes, there is a new box every month, but the colours of each box in the same month might differ. I received Morgan Taylor If The Slipper Fits from last year's Cinderella collection but you could also receive Party At The Palace. Then for the Nails Inc one I got Old Bond Street but you might receive Hyde Park Place. For the Colour Club polish I was sent Polar Vortex but I have seen some other pretty ones too. I do not know what the name of the Nail Essentials nail polish is, but I do know that it also differs! 

Alright, I think I rambled enough. Let's move on to some pictures, huh? <3

Bundle Monster Long Triangle Vinyls | Review

Hey guys! What, more regular nail polish? Yes! A while ago, Bundle Monster sent me some triangle nail vinyls and I have to admit, I need to practice a bit with using them in combination with gel polish. The thing with nail vinyls and gel polish is, you really have to remove the vinyls before curing them. Otherwise the vinyl will just stick to the gel polish and it will stay there. Forever. Well not forever, but you get the picture. And because you have to remove them, the gel polish will start flooding a little bit. That super crisp line? GONE, forever gone. So, I decide to go for nail polish. So awkward, though. If you are used to gel polish, I tell you, it is hard to wait for the nail polish to dry. But it worked out, yay! So make sure to hit the jump to get a close up and some details ;-). <3

ProNails New Icon + Gold Sticker | Nail Art & Review

Hey guys! Something rare on the blog today.. REGULAR NAIL POLISH. Dum dum duuuuuum. Well, regular.. It is a professional brand and it is pretty good. Not your basic polish! Today I will be sharing with you my first impression of a new-to-the-blog brand: ProNails. ProNails is a Belgian company that produces all kinds of nail products including nail care, nail polish, gel polish (Sopolish) and regular gel. It is a B2B company, however I think you can buy the nail polish at your local salon. Check out the ProNails website to find a ProNails Premium Salon near you. Now, let's dive into the swatches and the simple nail art I did! <3

My First Stamping Decal | Nail Art

Hey guys! Today I will be showing you the result of my first ever stamping decal, yay! Yeah, not so yay as it failed completely. I think I might need some more practice :-D. But hey, I tried! And it's probably because I did something wrong and not because of the stamper or the plate.

Hema Glitter & Flakies Gradient | Nail Art

Hi guys! Today I have this simple glitter and flakies gradient for you. To create the gradient I used the brush of the bottle instead of a sponge. With glitter you really cannot go wrong when doing a gradient, it always looks good. ;-)

Romantic Stamping + 18K White Gold | Nail Art & Review

Hey guys! A quick post today! I want to show you this romantic and elegant design I did. I am pretty how with how it turned out, even though I mattified it. Not a super big fan of complete matte nails, but I think it suits the look. What do you think? I have some more details after the jump! <3

Sophin Matte Allure Collection | Swatch & Review

Hi guys! Today I will be showing you the new Sophin Cosmetics Matte Allure Collection. This collection consists of six pastel semi matte polishes. All the polishes have a great formule -like always with Sophin- and are big 5-free. In all my pictures, the polishes are swatched without a top coat. Although the formula is a bit on the thinner side, the pigmentation is great but the first coat goes on a bit streaky. Most of the colours will be opaque in just two coats, but sometimes I painted on a third coat so that it won't be patchy in the pictures. Alright, now let's move on to some pictures! 

Sophin Silk Collection | Swatch & Review

Hey guys! Remember Sophin Cosmetics? A brand I already raved about multiple times? Yep, that's the one! Well, guess what, I have new polishes to show you. Today I will be swatching and reviewing the new Silk Collection.

The Silk Collection consists of three soft pastel frosts. Yes, meh, frosts, I know I know. I am not a big fan of frosts either, but these do look pretty good on me. I actually really started to love 356, the pastel lilac shade. Application-wise, Sophin polishes are a dream. They have a great consistency, a bit on the thinner side, but they are very easy to work with. And the best thing: they are all big 5-free. Yay! Now let's move on to some swatches, shall we?

Geometric OPI Hawaii | Nail Art

Hey guys! By the time you are reading this, I am on a holiday in France with my family. I will try to keep up with you as much as possible but I'm not sure if the wifi and I will get along. :-D

For today: wheee, more nail art! This time I used regular nail polish ;-). And why yes, I am still obsessed with the OPI Hawaii collection. The more I look at it, the more combos I make. Almost every nail polish goes super duper with another one and today I will be showing you my favourite combination of all! ;-) <3

Bourjois Corail Magique | Random Swatch Saturday

Hey you! It is time for another Random Swatch Saturday, hooray! Today I will be showing you this coral nail polish by Bourjois. I have had this one for a few years and when I first got it, I used it a lot. But then other corals came along and this one was pushed to the back of my polish drawer. So, I figured it was time to let it shine again. ;-)

Sophin Cosmetics Ice Blue Glitter Gradient | Nail Art & Review

Hi! Looking for some refreshment? Well, look no further because I have this icy blue glitter gradient to show you today. Everybody loves glitter and gradients so glitter gradients are da bomb! YASSS. Especially this one using Sophin Cosmetics nail polishes. So that is glitter + gradient + great colours = ggg = LOVE. And with this weather, LOVE = refreshment! Yay! Okay, enough rambling, let's move on to some pictures, I'll let them do the talking! <3

OPI Hawaii Tropical Flowers | Nail Art

Hi guys! Yay nail art! Today I will be showing you this floral manicure. I am so proud of this nail art and I got so many compliments when I wore it. It's floral and fresh, but the base gives it some extra dimension and I think the colours go so well together. Just all the love for this nail art. If you want to know what I used (which is not reaaaaally interesting) or if you want to check out some more pictures (which I am sure is way more interesting), then please keep reading! <3

Alright, onto the blogpost. Today I will be showing you the result of my first stamping experience. Yes, I ventured into the magical (and mysterious) world of stamping. If you want to know what my thoughts are, then please keep reading ;-) <3
