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…

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.

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…

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…

NOTD: Greige not beige
For today’s second post I’m bringing you a NOTD I wore recently. I’m still loving the sand style or liquid sand type nail polishes. So when I was in Germany and checked out local drugstore DM, it was a no brainer to pick one of these up. I found this gorgeous taupe color from P2.…

Neutral nail colors
A bright nail look isn’t for everyone. And it’s definitely not suitable for every job out there. Let alone a job interview. So what if you want to wear nail polish, but know you can go for a bit more than just a layer of clear polish? There are plenty of neutral shades out there.…

Best toe nail colors
It’s summer which means those peep toed shoes and sandals can be brought down from the attic. And with exposing your feet, most people will start wearing nail polish on their toes. I tend to wear nail polish year round because my feet are out a bit more and I just like the overall look…

NOTW: 100persand
The other day I painted my nail with one of the most stunning sand finish nail polishes I have come across in a while. Out of all the finishes that have been a rave in recent nail polish history, liquid sand is my favorite so far. I simply can’t get enough of the grainy, glittery…

Drugstore nail polish stash #1

Must have nail colors for spring
Spring time means a change in color schemes. From darker hues, pastels and brights are suddenly much more apt to complement the sunnier weather. And I love spring nail polishes. From pastel greens, mints and bright corals and everything in between. Today I’m sharing my 5 favorite spring nail polishes with you. 1. L’Oreal Color…

Nail care routine
One of the most soothing beauty rituals on the planet is doing a manicure. Since you can’t use your hands for a while afterwards it not only forces you to simply sit and do nothing, but also the routine of it allows me to relax and focus on something differently for a little bit. I…

New in: China Glaze & Let it glitter nail polish
*sings* Nail polish was my first love, and it will be my last, as long as there will be nail polish… Ahem, corny but true: my first beauty addiction was nail polish. When I was 12 I started to become interested in beauty products for the first time and I was bitten by the nail…

NOTW: Indigo Sparkle
Nail time! For a few weeks in November, I decided to take proper care of my nails. Ever since last winter, my nails had been so dry and brittle. They just kept on breaking and it seemed as if wearing nail polish only made things worse. So when I was at the drugstore, buying nail…

Nail polish tag
Apparently there is a nail polish tag… Yup, I found this over at Lidewij’s blog and thought I’d do it too. Because really it makes sense I do a nail polish tag, because when it comes to make up and beauty products, nail polish was my first love and I’m pretty sure it will be…

Cassis sparkle nail art
This super easy nail art isn’t really nail art, but I still thought it was super pretty and thought I’d share. I wore this on my nails a big part of last week and loved it. I paired a purple/ pink glitter polish over a dark, almost black, purple color to create this effect. Here’s…

New in: budget nail polish
It’s no secret I love nail polish and I especially love them when they are cheap! None of the polishes featured in this post cost more than 4 euros and one of them retails for as little as €1.69. Now that’s what I call a bargain. There’s polishes from HEMA, H&M and Essence and some…

NOTW: Cracked orange
Another quick and easy post as I have been out enjoying the sun yet again. I swear I have been outdoors more in the past 3 days than I have in the past 3 years! Hooray for my hayfever not acting up too much. I can tell it’s not entirely over, but I definitely don’t…

NOTW: Million Dollar Green
I thought this is a very spring like nail look. It definitely reminds me of sunrays hitting the green grass of a park. So perfect for this time of year. My nails have been pretty banged up lately. I cannot seem to let them grow out and they break like there is not tomorrow. I…

NOTW: Sparkly Nude
Neutral nails. I wrote about my favorite nude nail polishes a little over a week ago and today I’m bringing you a neutral nail look with a bit more oomph. It’s not an entirely original idea. I sort of stole it from Dutch beautyblogger VeraCamilla. What she did was take a sparkly topcoat and instead…
