NOTD: Blue confetti
The past few days we saw some pretty nice spring weather over here and so it urged me to post some fun spring nail polish look. Remember my love for baby blue nail polish? Well that is still going strong and so I paired a fun baby blue polish with an even more fun top…

L’Oreal Flower Bohème top coat
Spring 2015 is well on its way, but the weather over here hasn’t exactly been indicative of that. So when I spotted these 3 new top coats by L’Oreal a few weeks ago, I felt that they would be the perfect accessory to brighten up any grey, dull, cold, rainy and windy spring day. Because…

Sally Hansen Cuticle Remover and Insta-Dri top coat
I do my nails every so often. And there are always a few products that I use whenever I do a manicure. Just recently I ran out of two of my go to products and I decided to replace them. One of the products below is completely new to me, the other has been a…

NOTD: Easy as Peach
It’s spring so it’s time to bring out those brights and pastels when it comes to nails. And what color is more sunny and fun looking that yellow? Add a bit of cupcake sprinkles and you have the perfect recipe for a nail of the day that breathes spring time. One of my favorite ways…

Staple spring nail polish
The perfect spring accessory? Nail polish of course. Preferably in the sweetest pastel colors I can find. Corals and mint greens have been staples for years, but I’ve also gained an appetite for nudes and of course my latest love: all things baby blue. And luckily those colors range from the super cheap to the…

Drugstore nail polish haul
Spring is around the corner and in the past few weeks I have found myself stocking up on some spring appropriate nail polishes. They are all drugstore brand polishes and range from as little as 2 euros a pop to 5.99. You will notice that I am favoring baby blues this time round as well…

NOTD: A flaky does it
Glitters. Holographic top coats. Flakies. If it sparkles I’m all game when it comes to nail polish. So when you combine the three and make a glittery holographic flaky top coat, you bet I need that puppy in my life. So when Catrice released a Limited Edition last year that included a nail polish that…

OPI Hawaii collection
The minute I laid eyes on the OPI Hawaii collection on a number of blogs I decided I NEEDED a few of the polishes in my life. There hasn’t been an OPI collection in almost 2 years that I went crazy for like this one. The pretty pastel shades, combined with some amazing brights make…

NOTD: Denim Blues
My new favorite nail polish shade for spring? Blue! I am loving blues in all different shades at the moment. But especially the paler, softer tones that are much more appropriate for spring. So I thought it would be time to show you a blue nail polish look. This nail polish look includes 2 different…

Orly Polish Bond base coat
A good base coat can do wonders for your nail look. It not only protects your nails from discoloration, but a good base coat will also make sure your nail polish will stick for longer. Of course you still need a good top coat to protect your polish from chipping, but I find that a…

NOTD: The semi-purple gradient
Not all nail looks turn out to be a success and I’m still not sure how I feel about the one I’m showing you today. On the one hand I like it, and on the other, I think it’s hideous! When I decided on pairing these polishes together, I went by the way they looked…

OPI 50 Shades of Grey
It is no secret that OPI is my favorite nail polish brand. At first I wasn’t too excited to see their special limited edition for the 50 Shades of Grey movie release. I saw some swatches online, but wasn’t blown away. That was until I laid eyes on the collection myself. I picked up two…

Instanails #1
Today I thought I’d try something new. Not all of my nail looks end up on here. I often don’t have time to make sure I do a proper nail photo shoot. Or I simply forget or I don’t find the combination interesting enough to share on here. Whatever it is, I sometimes still end…

NOTD: Let’s get lost in Vegas
Am I the only gal on the planet in love with the Catrice Luxury Lacquers line? I hear nothing but a beep about the new line Catrice released last year. First as a limited edition and now as part of their regular line available in stores which sell the expanded range. The colors are stunning.…

NOTD: Rose gold galore
Rose gold is everywhere nowadays and when I found these two rose gold inspired nail polishes last year I thought they would make a great combo to hop on to the trend. They are both super affordable, as they’re by budget brand Catrice, and I absolutely love the colors. The two polishes are from limited…

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you made it into the new year safe and sound and I wish you all the best for 2015. Today’s post is short but sweet as I am still recuperating from dinner with friends and am quite possibly on my way to celebrate New Year’s Day with my family.…

This post serves two purposes: to wish you a Merry Christmas and to show you a last minute nail look that I wore to work last week. So first of all, have a Merry Christmas and I hope you have a great time with family, friends or whoever you’re celebrating with. I am spending it…

Trind Nail Repair
Taking care of your nails is important if you want them to look good. I recently found out again how true that is. For over a year I had been using the Trind Nail Repair nail strengthener and then suddenly ran out. I had another nail strengthener lying around and figured: let’s use that before…

London nail polish haul
Whoopsie daisy, I completely forgot to show you the polishes and accompanying swatches that I bought in London. I took a trip to London at the end of October, so this post is long overdue. However, I hope you don’t mind my still making this post. It’s nail polish after all and if there is…

Butter London Bit Faker
Butter London is a brand that I had been eying up for a long time, but from which I never bought anything. Whenever I ran into it in stores abroad, I never found a color I liked or that I didn’t have yet. However, I was curious because so many people rave about the brand.…

OPI Coca Cola mini collection
I’ve been a tad naughty. Remember my London beauty products shoplog? Click and have a look if you don’t, but you’ll see that I forgot to include something in that shoplog. I wasn’t sure whether I was going to review this, but after swatching them, I decided to pop them up here anyway. During my…

Top nail polishes for fall
Like I love wearing plums and berries on my lips right now, I’m also digging this color on my nails. But there are a few other colors that I love wearing this time around. Golds and purples, but also a dark blue are high on the list. In any case, as long as it’s dark…

NOTD: Icy taupe
A quicky nail post for today’s nail news. I created this super easy to do nail look the other week and thought I’d share. All you need is a taupe basecoat and an ice like glitter topcoat and you’re done! Here’s what I did. I never really pay attention to the type of colors I’m…

Drugstore nail polish stash #2
The sharing of my nail polish collection continues. By now, we are at the end of our journey. All that’s left is the second half of my drugstore nail polish collection. And that means a bunch of random, miscellaneous brands. Some old, some new. Some more expensive, some cheap. Today i will be showing you…

NOTD: glammed up peach
A quicky nail post after this morning’s musical extravaganza. One of my favorite ways of wearing glitters lately is by using a pastel or fairly neutral base color and to layer the glitter over that. This is one of my favorite combinations so far. Products used: L’Oreal Miracle Repair 7 base coat for damaged nails…

New Catrice & Essence nail polish (fall 2014)
The new Catrice & Essence collections that changed products for fall have plenty of new products to try. As always there are quite a few nail polishes that are newly added. Now that Catrice has an extra long space in the shops, their nail polish line has also been extended with some new products and…

NOTD: Genius in the Bottle
I have so many different nail polishes that I’ve decided to start and try to catalog all of them, while on my nails, on this blog. If I keep this up I should end up with a good overview of all the polishes I have, swatched on my hands to see what they look like.…

Glitter & top coat nail polish collection
In my nail polish collection a large chunk of the bottles I own is taken up by glitters and top coats. I love me some sparkle on my nails and so I have quite some bottles to add a bit of extra to any nail polish look. My favorite brands for top coats and glitter…
