Golden

Hello!

Here's my new year's eve's manicure :) It's simple and still looks gorgeous!







I used this tutorial. Base color is Kiko's black 275, and golds are Maybelline's Mini Colorama Honey Crystals and Essence's Make it golden.

I think this was the perfect mani to start 2013!

Let it snow!

Hello!

So this is Christmas...

We don't have snow anymore so I did a snowy mani. Well, it's white and sparkly ;)

It's one coat of Kiko 214, one coat of Essence's Space Queen and one coat of OPI's Pirouette my whistle.







I really dig this layering!

Merry Christmas!

Red matte

Hello!

Today, I have a red manicure for you. It's not the first one, but it's different :)

I applied three coats of NYC Penn Station (my favorite red yet) and a coat of Essence's matte top coat. And the combination is so gorgeous! I will do it again ;)

Gold french

Hello!

On the internet, I came along a picture of gold manicure. I wanted to do something similar, but because I don't own a gold nail polish, full of glitter, I had to make a difference.

First, I colored my tips with Essence's Gold rush, and it seemed really empty. So I went through my stash and found Maybelline's mini Colorama 48 Honey Crystals. I never used it before *blush*

So then I did a top coat of this pretty, pretty gold and here is the result:







I really like this polish, I'm sure I'll start using it more often ;)

Enjoy these last days of summer,

Black space queen

Hello!

I love black nail polish. And I also love sparkly top coats.

So here I am, wearing black nail polish from Kiko and Space Queen from Essence.

Red Night in Vegas

Hello!

When I first saw Essence's Night in Vegas on the internet, I knew I had to have it.

I have it for some time now and I love it!

This time, I used NYC Penn Station as a basecoat.

This picture was taken in sunlight, not with flash.

Black and gold

Hey!

When I bought Make It Golden by Essence, for basecolor I had in mind some gold polish or black polish. I hadn't had a black nail polish for two years now, so I bought it two weeks ago. I forgot what it's like to have black nails, it is different for me since I've had black nails for almost all the time in 2007.

And because now I have both Make It Golden and black polish, I tried checkers. Just for fun. I think it looks nice, what do you think?

 

The gold part isn't just MIG, I used Golden Sultan by Deborah for basecolor. But I think MIG looks better on Golden Rush also by Essence.
