NOTD - BABY BLANKET HEARTS

I don't know why, maybe it is the pastel colors, but this mani makes me think of a baby blanket. I used Sinful Colors Beverly Hills and Unicorn and then used OPI White Shatter. I then stamped a heart on the top - awwwww!

SWEET NAILS & SWEET FOOD

First up - the nails. This was my NOTD a couple of days ago. I really liked this color combo. I have had a hard time finding a color combo where I liked the white shatter. So I was very nicely surprised by this. I want to wear this again in the near future. I used China Glaze - Moulin Rouge and then OPI - White Shatter. Then I added a skull sticker for fun.







Now for the food! These were desserts I made for the Fourth of July holiday.

Reese's Peanut Butter bottom cupcakes. Basically you put a resses peanut butter cup in the bottom of a foil cupcake liner before adding your cake batter and backing. Let me just tell you - heaven!!!!!!!!!! I used a devils food cake and homemade chocolate butter creme frosting.





Vanilla cupcakes with a light cream cheese butter creme frosting and red, white & blue decorations.




I made three kinds of brownies, but only took a picture of this one. The others were plain and caramel swirl. This one is a cheesecake swirl brownie topped with leftover chocolate butter creme frosting, chocolate sprinkles, vanilla crunch sprinkles and dark chocolate crumbles.

NOTD - TEAL & GOLD

Hiya / OPI DS Glamour

Hi!

Long time no see! I'm excited to make this post, it's been a while. I finally graduated and got my bachelor of Communication & Multimedia Design, so I can finally spend a little bit of my time on the more trivial things in life, like blogging about nail polish ;-).

I'd also like to thank everyone who has been so supportive, even during my break! Thanks so much for all the e-mails, comments and visits to this blog.

Unfortunately I haven't been swatching like I used to, so for today you'll have to put up with some old material. These pictures were taken during my vacation last year, which I actually spent with two nail polish bloggers. Great fun.

OPI DS Glamour

This is probably the last post on OPI products ever, since they're now owned by Coty, but I needed to share this particular polish. OPI DS Glamour is old, hard to find and probably way too expensive on Ebay nowadays. But hey, it's pretty. It's a blue holographic, not as holographic as some other OPI holo's from the same line, like DS Signature or DS Original, but still damn pretty.

Since summer just kicked in, I thought it was fitting to start off with something holo. What I like about these holo's are their application, it's super easy, and they hardly chip on me. Even without a top coat, which they don't even need because they're super shiny worn alone. Two coats and you're done. Too bad I can't buy new OPI anymore, right?

Out of the loop

I have to admit, I'm hardly aware of the latest nail polish collections, so I disabled my 'upcoming collections' widget for now. If they're are any super hot collections I *need* to know about, please let me know in the comments! My wallet and I will be super grateful.

My favorite drink during the summer

OPI - SPARK DE TRIOMPHE

LOVE this glitter polish! This is part of the Serena two packs that came with a shatter polish. This one came with the white shatter polish and I hated the combo together. I just did not think it looked good at all. This glitter polish is so pretty and I think I just didn't like it covered up :)

OPI - CAN YOU TAPAS THIS?

I'm kind of on the fence about this color. The formula was a little runny and if I wasn't really careful it wanted to run into my cuticles, which you can see happened on my ring and pinky fingers. Also the color seemed just a little too brown for my liking. You may be asking yourself, why the heck did I get this color then - I think the last picture sums that up :)

YO HO HO & A BOTTLE OF RUM

Ahoy, matey! I improved upon my previous mani with a cool skull & cross bones stamp. I am totally getting pirate Halloween costume from this. I love it! Base is LeChat Spot Light, OPI Black shatter and stamped with China Glaze 2030.
