crown of gold.

Top - Ark Clothing

Skirt - New Look

Belt - Primark

Necklace - H&M

Nails - Barry M Peach Melba & Models Own Jade Stone

A quick outfit post from today, I bought this top last year before I went to Barcelona but it's quite awkward to wear... much like yesterdays body! The sleeves always seem to fall off my shoulders!
I bought this amazing crown necklace from H&M and I love it, it's very "me" as I love long, simple pendants, they always complete an outfit.

I also used fake nails for the first time today, I've always loved Barry Ms Peach Melba but it doesn't go on my nails very well and looks streaky so I can never wear it. It goes on so well on fake nails!
The Jade Stone is a lot lighter in real life, and the colours look lovely together. Hopefully the nails won't fall off mid shift tomorrow!

ManGlaze Giveaway: The Winner!

Hi guys! My giveaway ended last night, so the last few hours were spent going through entries, sorting them out in a spreadsheet. There were so many, I was so overwhelmed, thank you ALL so much for entering and the neverending support!
I used www.random.org to determine the winner and I'm pretty sure you're very curious to see who the winner is...

... I can tell you one thing, the winner won 2 awesome nail polishes by ManGlaze: Matte is Murder and Fuggen Fugly. Second, the winner is a she, and she lives in a country where a lot of my readers come from...

...Brazil! So who is it then?! With no further ado, I present to you the lucky winner:

Congratulations Karla Scoparo! I will be e-mailing you for your address shortly :-)

ManGlaze Giveaway!

Yes you read that right :-). I was enjoying my ManGlaze polishes so much, I just felt the need to share some of the ManGlaze awesomeness with you! And to be honest, you guys are all so great and supportive and funny and sweet and caring, so consider this giveaway as a small gesture of my thanks. Unfortunately I cannot buy everyone nail polish so I'll be giving away Matte is Murder (click here for swatch & review) and Fuggen Ugly to one lucky winner. The rules? Pretty simple: You have to be a follower of my blog (I will check) Leave me a comment with your email address It doesn't matter where you live, this contest is open internationally. Optional: You can earn one extra chance to win by reposting this on Twitter or your blog - include a link to your tweet or blogpost in a separate entry. You can enter till the 21th of May, 11:59pm - CET. I will use www.random.org to decide the winner I won't be sending out this package myself, I will order straight from the ManGlaze website and make sure it gets delivered at your address. Yay for laziness! ;-) Well dear readers, if you wish to enter: good luck!

And the winners are ..... *drumroll*

So finally! My giveaway has ended and I'm about to announce 2 lucky winners. First of all: boy I need to thank you all so much for participating and following me! I've had 299 comments, worth of 404 entries! This was definitely beyond my expectations, overwhelming to say the least. Needless to say I've had a lot of work sorting everything out, haha!
While I was on this I caught some cheaters too, I'm not as dumb as you might have thought, ha ha (I did think it was pretty lame though).

Well with no further ado, I present to you the two winners:

Set 1:

Set 2:

I used www.random.org to determine the winners, and kept everyone's preference in mind.

Congratulations ladies! I will be e-mailing you shortly.

Of course I feel the need to add some nail spam, so here is Sinful Senorita by H&M, a gorgeous pink with great application. And you might not think it is, but it's definitely a holo in better lighting.

Take care and till next time!

Herome - New Delhi & Romika's Giveaway!

Hi everyone! Since my last post a lot of new readers have joined my blog, I was amazed! So welcome to all of you!

As some of you might already know, my mom has a blogs: Romika's Nails. At the moment she is having a great giveaway to celebrate her 100 followers. This giveaway includes some really beautiful polishes and nail care products by Herome, a Dutch brand. So please hurry on over there!

I also have some stuff by this brand, so I thought I'd show you one of the bunch Romika is giving away! This pretty baby is called New Delhi, and it belongs to the W.I.C. collection. W.I.C. stands for World Inspired Colors, all the polishes are named after big cities. No wonder their color selection is huge: check it out.

I really like the color I'm wearing, it's a dusty minty aqua green creme. It's definitely a hot color at the moment. I applied 2 coats for complete opacity. The formula was okay, a bit on the thick side but it worked out pretty well. For those who couldn't help themselves and went crazy during the Models Own sale: this one looks a bit like Slate Green, but a tad lighter and more yellow.

This was it for today, take care and till next time!

Yeah baby! Giveaway time!

I made it to 250 followers! *Does happy dance*. Like I said I appreciate and love you guys so much! I'd never expected to find such a warm and welcoming place. And now I can finally thank you guys! Let's show you the goods: I'll be giving away 2 sets, one set a winner, so yes there will be 2 lucky winners!

The first set includes 4 great shades by H&M: Chicks Envy Me (a bright orangy red I actually like - this color doesn't look right in this photo), Fashionista, Liberty Girl, and the highly sought after Bella's Choice!

The second set includes 3 semi holo nail polishes, also by H&M: You Rock My World, Sinful Senorita and Mad About You. These are pretty awesome, the application is amazing. The holo effect is very subtle (unless you're walking on sunshine), but I think they're mega cute anyway. I'll try to swatch some of these any time soon.

I've added some photos for reference, these are swatched with my own nail polish. The nail polish that I'll send to the winners is brand new and never been used!

China Glaze - Ruby Pumps - & Upcoming Giveaway!

Hi guys! Today I only have time for a short post, so here it goes! This probably is one of the prettiest nail polishes made! You all know her by now, but Ruby Pumps by China Glaze deserves all the attention she can get. I snatched this one from my moms Helmer, it's a beauty! Definitely a must have, so I'll have to get me one too! The formula was amazing, after 3 coats you'll have the most gorgeous red sparkly nails ever.

I also wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone so much for reading, commenting and supporting my blog, you've all made this blog a very warm and welcoming place to be for me. I've passed 200 followers last week, which I've never expected, not even in my wildest dreams! To thank you guys I'll do a giveaway when I hit the 250 mark. Think H&M nail polish! And probably some other stuff on which I haven't decided yet! Maybe OPI's Reflecting Pool since it's not that easy to find overseas? So please stay tuned for updates about this :-).

Take care and till next time!
