Dress Maker with flowers

Hi guys

My body/mind is so sick of summer, so I’ve been thinking about spring/summer a lot lately. My last manicure was also inspired by spring. I used Milani – Dress Maker as a base. I didn’t really like the application because I needed 3 coats for full coverage. I hate polishes that need 3 coats. Luckily the result was worth it. Gorgeous shimmer!

To add something extra, I decided to use water decals from Viva La Nails.

I really love this combination. I think I’ll do this more in spring, but instead of using Dress Maker, I’ll use Sold Out Forever from Catrice because it’s an exact dupe + 2 coats do the job!

Are you looking forward to spring/summer?

Thanks for stopping by

Eyeko “Vintage” and "Rain" Polish

Hi everyone!

I recently won 2 eyeko polishes in a giveaway! I got Rain Polish and Vintage Polish. I have had other Eyeko polishes in the past from the old line, the cute small bottles with the metal cap (does anyone else have these?). I like the renewed polishes, but I haven’t had a chance yet to get some. I might put them on my Christmas list!

This one is “Rain Polish”, a gray/blue polish (duh, what else did you expect by looking at the name!). It think it’s a pretty color for fall.

The other one I got is “Vintage Polish”, a pretty mint polish.

Application of both polishes was ok for me. The formula was a little thick, but good enough to work with! Look how cute the bottles are! I like how they have unique labels for each polish!

You can get these polishes and others on the website of Eyeko. They have really cute nail polishes and often promotions so keep an eye on their website/twitter!

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!

Catrice swatches PART 2

Here is the second part of my Catrice swatches (finally!). My nails are very short at the moment because of my summer job. I'll take more care of them when I finish, I promise!

Lucky in Lilac - a lilac creme



Londen's Weather Forecast - a dark grey - leaning towards blue - creme with a subtle shimmer.



Just Married - a sheer pink with shimmer (3 coats on photograph)



From Dusk to Dawn - a taupe (supposed to be a dupe for Particuliere from Chanel)



Clayton-My-Hero - a muddy gold with a subtle shimmer



And last but not least,

Sold Out Forever - a mint with subtle shimmer (dupe for Chanels Jade)



I'm planning on getting some other Catrice's too, so there will be a part 3 someday!


Have a nice day and thanks for stopping by
