Very late New Year's nails!

Yup, you read that one right. NEW YEAR'S NAILS. As I said in my previous post, I literally had NO time to post anything past month.. So I am posting them now, because I think they are to stunning!

Here is a close-up of my middle finger. For these nails I was inspired by Vanity Projects. I looove the triangle of rhinestones and studs, hmmm.

This is a close-up of my ring finger. I used NYC City Blackout, the rhinestones and studs are all from Born Pretty Store.

Still in love with these nails, really!

Btw, don't forget to enter my giveaway if you want to win some pretty Let it Glitter! polishes!

Hope you like these nails, guys!

Forever Polished - Blood Moon

HI! I am -finally- back with a Forever Polished swatch. Forever Polished is an awesome indie polish brand ran by the lovely Ashley. I still have one Forever Polished lacquer laying around and I'll be showing you that one verrrrry soon. OK, onto some macros and pictures!

As you can see, Blood Moon has various sizes of square red glitter and burgundy hexes It also has red hearts and silver holo moons! This mix sits in a clear base, so it makes a great topper.

I layered Blood Moon over White French by Only You. I really don't know how many coats this exactly is, since I dabbed it on my nail. That is the only issue with this polish, it needs a lot of dabbing and fishing, especially for the bigger glitter like the hearts and moons.

Besides the dabbing and fishing, it is a beautiful polish. I'm a big fan of Forever Polished because the lacquers are always chock-full with glitter and practically glide on the nail. That is why I probably had some high expectations for this one! But, like I said, it is a beautiful polish and it adds something special to your manicure.

You can buy Forever Polished here. Keep up with them on Facebook!

Glitter Dip with KKCenterHK Glitter

YUUUP I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A WHILE YES YES YES AND I'M SOOOOORRYYYYY. But I'm back now, yeah baby!

OK, so today I will be showing you an easy manicure you can create with this 0.2 mm black glitter I was kindly sent by KKCenterHK.

You can achieve this glitter dip look with 3 simple steps:
1. Paint on a nice coat of your favourite black polish, mine is City Blackout by NYC.
2. Before the polish dries, quickly dip your nail in the container with the 0.2mm black glitter from KKCenterHK.
3. Let it dry for a couple of minutes and swipe off the excess with a fluffy brush.

I did one nail at a time, otherwise the polish on the first nail would be dry and wouldn't hold the glitter very well! Basically, you do the same thing as with velvet nails, so NO topcoat! ^^

Et voilà, a nice close-up!

Please note that this glitter is NOT holographic, the pictures on the website might be a little bit deceiving. Nonetheless it's a gorgeous glitter to work with.

KKCenterHK sells this 0.2mm black glitter for $8.41 and you get 10 grams in a nice pot. Use the coupon code LoveLifeLacquer to get 10% off!

Cadillacquer Bring On The Night

Hiiiiiiii guys! In this post I'll be showing you my last swatch of the Cadillacquer polishes. You can check out the other swatches here, here and here! Let's move on to some pictures of Bring On The Night.

This is how Madeleine describes it: "Bring On The Night has a black jelly base with white, taupe and green fine flakies, small turquoise and square turquoise glitter."

I have to say, it does look a million times better in person. It has so much depth, but the pictures don't translate it very well. This is, I believe, 3 coats of Bring On The Night on its own with 1 coat of top coat.
The polish is a tad thicker than usual, but nothing too serious.

You can clearly see the bigger blue square glitters, but you can also see the different colours of the flakies, which gives this lacquer something special and different and it is simply gorgeous! 

Keep up with Cadillacquer on Facebook and Etsy. Madeleine has a great range of beautiful, feminine polishes, so make sure you check out her shop!

Cadillacquer 'Such is Life'-collection

Cadillacquer is fairly new to the indie polish world, but oh boy, I fell in love the moment I saw some of Madeleine's creations. She creates soft, feminine shades packed with awesome glitter combinations. Oh btw, this handmade polish is made in Switzerland!
So do you like pastels? Soft shades? Super awesome glitter combo's? Yes, yes and yes? Then you will absolutely love her new collection: 'Such is Life'!

First row from left to right: Live Free, Tell It To The Frogs, Bring On The Night, Say The Word 
Middle: Where The Wild Things Are
Second row from left to right: Once More, No Place Like Home, Life's Too Short,  Restless

Pastels: check. Soft shades: check. Super awesome glitter combo's: double check!! The lacquers are all very wearable for any occasion. Madeleine was so kind to send me four of her new polishes. Today you will get a preview of each one, and four Sundays in a row (starting tomorrow) I will be posting pictures and swatches of each polish. Enough of that, let's move on to some bottle shots!

Can I just say that I loooove this kind of bottles?

Here we have No Place Like Home. It's a soft grey-ish, lilac-ish pastel polish infused with gorgeous silver and pink flecks. I also had pastel coloured hex glitters, which makes it all tie together.

Next up is Restless. Some of you might know that I love me some minty polishes! There is a lot going on in this polish, but I'll try my best to describe it. It is a mint base with big turquoise hexes, normal-sized turquoise and burgundy hexes and very small fuchsia, turquoise, burgundy and silver holographic glitter. PHEW.

Let's move on to Where The Wild Things Are. This is a blue-ish grey base with a golden shimmer in it. It has various sizes of grey, white and iridescent glitters and some iridescent shreds.

The last one: Bring On The Night is a dark jelly base with a burgundy-ish shimmer in it. It has big and small turquoise square glitter. All I can say is that it is glittery, very glittery.

So these are the polishes you will see the next four weeks. I hope you like them, I surely do!

Cadillacquer nail polishes can be bought on Etsy. They are 15 ml and $12 each. Also, make sure to visit and like their Facebookpage!

Urban Lacquer - NaCl

I'm back with another indie polish. This time I'll be showing you NaCl by Urban Lacquer! NaCl might by one of my favourite polishes ever. EVER. Oh btw, I basically included all my pictures of NaCl in this post, just so you know... Now, without further ado, let's move on to some close-ups!

This is what Brenda had to say about NaCl: "NaCl is a gorgeous, color-changing blend of white and iridescent glitter - 8 different glitters, to be exact. Looks beautiful over any base color! This formula is thick, and almost has a fluffy texture. It glides easily onto the nail, and is a wonderful addition to your winter polish collection!"

NaCl looks good over any base colour! I had the hardest time deciding which colour I was going for, but then I figured that the different colours of the glitter would really pop if I layered it over black. And it did, oh boy it did!

I layered two fine coats of NaCl over NYC - City Blackout. Application-wise, I had no problem whatsoever, it glided on like butter! For the accent nail I used these small round studs from Born Pretty Store. I topped it with Essence Top Sealer to seal (duh) it all in.

 You can buy your own Urban Lacquer polishes in their Etsy store and make sure to stop by their Facebook page for updates and releases.

Très Chic Rectangular Studs

Hi everyone! Today I'll be showing you some really gorgeous studs from KKCenterHK and my first real attempt ever on outlined nails.

And when I say first real attempt, I litterally mean first real attempt. I already have some posts with glitter outlined nails, but not with painted outlined nails so.. TADAA! I used NYC City Black Out and Essence Café Olé.

For the accent nail I used these 4mmx2mm silver studs I kindly received from KKCenterHK. I picked them up one by one, put some clear nail polish on them and placed them on my ring finger and my thumb.

And here's a close up of my thumb! Studs are great to boost and add something special to your manicure.

You can find these studs here, but make sure to check out their other nail art products as well! And don't forget to like their Facebook page too!

WingDustCollections: Neon Black & Total Pink Bomb

Hi! Today I have two more WingDustCollections polishes to show you: Neon Black and Total Pink Bomb. I already kind of introduced Stephanie in one my previous post about WingDustCollections, which you can find here. Let's start off with Total Pink Bomb.

Total Pink Bomb definitely lives up to its name! There is no better description than Total Pink Bomb for this one! It is a pink jelly base with holo dust, hot pink glitter and holographic hexes. I used 3 coats and a topcoat.

The coats are just three thin to normal layers. The polish has the right consisteny and it really applied like a dream.

The picture below captures the different glitters pretty well. You can clearly see the tiny holo particles! I normally don't wear a lot of hot pinks, but I looove this one. It's a holo-thing, I guess haha!

Next up is Neon Black

 

Neon Black is a gunmetal base with flashes of lavender and blue shimmer. It is one of those polishes where at first you're like 'OK, seems like a simple grey polish to me', but when you are actually applying it you're like 'What is that? Is that purple? And blue? What? Oh my god!'

Again, I used 3 coats of Neon Black to get full opacity and it applied very smoothly. I almost forgot to mention that it has a semi-matte finish, but I used a top coat, so you can't see it. This polish was so hard to capture! I really couln't do it justice, it is so much more intriguing in real life.

In de close-up below you can see the blue particles and with a lot of willpower and a bit of imagination you can also see a lavender shimmer. Thank god!

Edward's Love - Swatched

This is the second polish I picked up from the Essence Breaking Dawn part 2 LE: Edward's Love.

Edward's Love is a black base with silver flecks with a golden tone in specific lightning . It's not the most exciting colour but still pretty, you can easily use it as a nice base colour  for whatever nail art you want to do.

Just like Alice had a vision - again! the consistency is too thick, what makes it sometimes difficult to work with. But it has great coverage: I used one thin and one regular coat for this swatch.

Did someone pick up Jacob's Protection? Does it have a thick formula too?

Mix 'n Matchy Matchy

Yeah, I was a bit lazy. Here's a simple manicure inspired by Very Emily's Mood Polish Mix'nMatch!

I used 
Essence - Nude or what? as a base colour
Only You - White French
NYX - City Blackout
