Girly lightning bolt

Hello dear readers, I felt it was time for a lightning bolt mani again :) And it became a quite girly one. The pink base color I used is called Sexy Lady, the silver is Millenium and both are from China Glaze. As my final color I used my favorite black Where's The Soiree? from Color Club. But just black was a little too plain for me today, so I added a black jelly with silver glitters from Hema to it. The silver glitters aren't very visible on the pictures but they are in real life and go well with the silver chrome finish of Millenium, if I do say so myself, haha. Hope you all are having a wonderful day and thanks for reading!

Comparison: Grey/blue pastels

Hi guys, my first comparison post! I noticed I had a couple of pretty similar greyish blue pastels in my stash. To be exactly: China Glaze Seaspray, Eyeko Rain Polish and Essence Got A Secret. I just showed Take Me To Your Cheateau next to the three 'cause I didn't want a naked nail on the picture lol. Anyway, I applied two coats of each polish. The Essence (and Color Club) had the best formula, followed by Sea Spray. Sea Spray applies pretty okay with the first coat, but it tends to get a bit streaky with the second one, still manageable though. And Rain Polish was quite a disappointement. When I bought this polish about a year ago, the greyish blue color it has wasn't very common, so I was very excited about it. But the streaky formula was such a blow that I've never used it more than one time to swatch! And one year later I ordered Sea Spray, 'cause it was "so unique" and "I didn't have anything like it yet"... Boy, was I wrong. They both have that same, very subtle, silver shimmer. And I think Rain Polish is a tiny bit lighter and more blue, but I'm talking about the tiniest bit ever here. So not a soul would notice if you'd wear both on the same hand. And then there's Essence Got A Secret, which is more an obvious grey and lighter than the last mentioned two. Also it doesn't have that blue quality but still it's a beautiful color.
Thanks for reading!

Chacalaca and some glitter

Hi guys, yesterday I showed your the lovely blurple polish Chacalaca from Essence. The dark color seemed great for a base for glitters, so here used it to create a subtle glitter look. (Doesn't sound very logical, right?) I applied two different glitters from Diamond Cosmetics with the unique names Purple Glitter and Turquoise Glitter, then I mattified it with my favorite matt topcoat from Essence.

Essence - Chacalaca

Hi everyone, for today's post I have Chacalaca to show you from Essence's limited collection Whoom Boooom. Chacalaca is a rich and dark but vibrant blurple, kind of like the color of ink. The polish looks darker on the nails than in the bottle, but that doesn't make it less pretty. It's a serious color but because it's so vibrant it's not too serious at the same time, if that makes any sense. The formula was nice and smooth and covered perfectly in two coats.
If Chacalaca looks familiar to you it's probabaly because it's very similar to Essence Just Rock it (which I used here and here). Just Rock It has a tiny bit more blue, but if you wouldn't hold the bottles next to eachother I'd say they're dupes. So if you missed out on Chacalaca you can always get Just Rock It, which is part of the permanent Colour&Go collection. What do you think of today's polish?

Cute skittle

Hi lovely followers, today there are over 500 of you! I can't believe there are so many people following this little blog of mine! I couldn't even fill my wedding with this many people! Not that that has something to do with it or that I'm intending to get married soon, just saying 500 souls is a lot, haha. Thank you so much for reading Nailside and leaving your comments, it makes blogging so much fun! Okay, let's have a look at my NOTD then. (Pic heavy!) For this happy day I decided to do something happy, in a cute way. So I did a skittle in pastels. I suppose the pink on my thumb doesn't count as a pastel, but it fitted the rest so well :) The polishes I used, from my thumb to my pinky:

Essence - Let Me In Pink

Essence - No More Drama
Rimmel - Aqua Cool

China Glaze - For Audrey

Orly - Ancient Jade

And then flakies! ...to add some 'Wooow', lol. This time I used Golden Rose #4

And just for fun a layer of matt topcoat, to see how it would look. After the pics I made it glossy again, because this time I actually liked it better shiny :)

Awesome sauce from Golden Rose: #4

Thanks for stopping by again!

Modern mummy

Hi guys, today is another gloomy day here in the Netherlands so I've got pictures for you from the vault. This is a mummy mani I did a little while ago, I used China Glaze Sea Spray for the base color and LA girl Matte Blue Twilight on top. Matte Blue Twilight was a delight to work with, the formula was quite smooth for a matt polish, so the lines came out surprisingly crisp. And as you can see I didn't use topcoat, because I wanted to keep the matt/shiny contrast :) Thanks for visiting!

First Love Piano

Hi guys,

This design was requested by Nill.. I didn't hesitated to make it when she requested for it because it reminded me of my friend when I was in college, her name is Laurice. She's a very talented musician/artist. She's like a sister to me. We've been through good and bad times. She loves to play the piano, and is very good in freehand drawing.. But I haven't seen her for a long time.. I miss her so much.. Hope she's doing fine... ☺

Materials Used:

white pumpkin nail polish

black ianti

konad black special polish

bundle monster BM207

Hope you like them.. God bless you all ♥

Essence skittle

Hi everyone! For today's post I'd like to show you a skittle I made with five Essence polishes from the Colour&Go collection; Perfect Plum, Lime Up!, Trust In Fashion, Just Rock It! and Break Through. Though I don't do skittles very often, I do like them very much. It's so simple, and I love simple :) Just pick five matching colors and BOOM! Awesome result. Zero effort. And it's an efficient way to go through your untrieds. Though I liked my skittle plain, I just couldn't leave it alone. I layered it with a beautiful flaky polish from Golden Rose Scale Effects, #15, which came from my untried stash. It's so pretty! And yes, then I mattified it... I'm really starting to get predictable... Anyways, hope you like it and thanks for reading :)

China Glaze - Watermelon Rind

Hi guys! For today's post I want to show you China Glaze Watermelon Rind, a beautiful teal/green shimmer with microglitter. I love the color, both glossy and matt, and the application was fine. But there's a but, this polish is really sheer! I had to apply four coats of polish to get it opaque, which is one coat too many for me. Fortunately this is easily fixed by using a green base color underneath. And instead of seeing the sheerness as a con, why not as a pro? It looks pretty as a topcoat too! In the last picture you can see it layered over black.
What do you think of Watermelon Rind?

MILKSNAKE NAILART

Hi guys, Good morning! I made a nail art yesterday, but I haven't got time to upload it because of my busy sched.. I made a milksnake manicure using bm215, my second design using new bundle monster image plate.. Here's a bit of trivia about the milksnake..

The milk snake or milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum; French: Couleuvre tachetée; Spanish: Culebra-real coralillo, Lithuanian: Pieninė gyvatė)^[1] is a species of king snake. There are 25 subspecies among the milk snakes, including the commonly named scarlet kingsnake (L. t. elapsoides).^[1] The subspecies have strikingly different appearance, and many of them have their own common names. Some authorities suggest that this species may be split into several separate species.^[1]

Milk snakes grow 20 to 60 inches (51 to 150 cm) long.^[1] They have smooth and shiny scales and their typical color pattern is alternating bands of red-black-yellow or white-black-red. ^[1] However, red blotches instead of bands are seen in some populations.^[1] Some milk snakes have a striking resemblance to coral snakes and this mimicry (known asBatesian mimicry) likely scares away potential predators.

Hope you like it! God bless you all!

Glitter overload

Hi everyone! Yesterday I showed you swatches of a pretty shimmer polish from Beyu, #325. The blue flecks were gorgeous in the bottle, but unfortunately they didn't show up that well on the nail. So I added more blue bling myself, as you can see in the first picture. It was amazing to look at, but then I wondered how it would look if I added more, different colored glitter... Only one way to find out!

So here's #325 with a blue glitter topper from Claire's.

Then I layered it with a red glitter, also from Claire's...

And finally a coat of Edward from Essence.

Sparkling!

And of course the inevitable matt topcoat, because I can't resist mattified glitter! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
