Essie-Merino Cool and a new ring!

Man do I love this polish! Where has this shade been all my life? Out of all my dusty, grey-ish purple/mauve polishes this is the first one that made me think of buying some back-up bottles....for the rest of my life!Merino Cool: I love you!I think the pics speak for themselves...(I'm wearing 2 coats+Essie Good To Go)
The double finger "vine" ring is from ASOS.com. It screamed my name, so I couldn't resist.It's mine now...forever;)
P.s.: My nail growth miracle is called "Acrylic", LOL! XO

My new nails:)

Oops! I did it again...I couldn't resist, I needed longer nails! So I applied a nice set of sculpted gel nails(I'm a nail tech:)). Yaaay! My natural nails are fine, I just don't like how easy they break.
I showed you Dusky Mauve last week, but not as a full manicure, and since it's such an amazing shade, here it is again in all its glory!

Barry M- Dusky Mauve (Chanel Paradoxal Dupe!)

Yesterday I saw this post by RijaH, which made me go directly to Alicejohavesentials, as they are the place to be for Barry M. I'm lucky Alice lives close to where I live, so I could pick my order up immediately.
Barry M-Dusky Mauve seemse to be THE Chanel Paradoxal dupe. I decided to compare Barry M to Purple Grey, and this is the result:

Index+Ring finger: Dusky Mauve Middle finger+Pinky: Purple Grey


In this pic I added 1 coat of CND-Violet Shimmer to Purple grey (middle finger+pinky)


Dusky Mauve (right) is obviously darker than Purple Grey+Violet Shimmer:

I'm very happy with this new Barry M shade, it's fabulous! I read that Paradoxal has a hidden shimmer, well, so does Dusky Mauve! But, if you don't like shimmer, Purple Grey is still a perfect alternative, the base seems to be almost identical. I'm happy I own both shades:) x0

Models Own Purple Grey (Paradoxal Look a Like)

After seeing THIS post by The Swatchoholic, I decided to get myself a bottle of Models Own-Purple Grey. I'm still waiting for 3 botlles of CND Effects (sparkles and shimmers for layering),which I think are neccesary to achieve the Chanel look, so you'll have to wait a few days before I can show you how wonderful this will look on my nails:).
I don't own Chanel-Paradoxal, so I can't make a comparison, but that's why we all love internet so much, right?

NOTD: P2-Gracious

P2-Gracious: 2 coats, Seche Vite.

NOTD: OPI-No Spain, No Gain

Just a lovely purple polish from the OPI España collection. I wear 2 coats and Seche Vite.
I don't know why, but last week I chose only "fall and winter" colours for my manicures. Dark purple, black, vampy. Maybe it's the lousy weather?

OPI Designer Series Extravagance,bottle nr.3.

Please meet my third bottle of OPI Designer Series Extravagance: The first one arrived (by post) broken last november. Ofcourse, my favorite ebay seller sent me a new bottle right away. The second one fell down on the bathroom floor and broke, causing a terrible stain, which I could luckily remove with acetone.
This is my third bottle, and I truly hope it's going to stay with me forever. Well, at least until the bottle is empty;).
This polish is AMAZING. If you don't own it already, I think you should get it, now!Just look at the pics, and you'll know what I mean. This is 2 coats, and a lovely shiny coat of Seche Vite:).

NOTD: Essence- DressTo Party

O.k.., nee, ik vind m'n nagels echt te lang voor dit soort kleuren. Kortere nagels zien er toch een stuk frisser en chiquer uit. Ik weet dus ook niet hoe lang ik deze lengte ga volhouden,:).

Uhm.., no, I think my nails are way too long for this type of colours. Shorter nails look more fresh and chic. I'm not sure for how long I'm going to keep my nails at this length.

NOTD: Basic Concept-Frost Berry

Dit merk is te koop bij Woolworth in Duitsland, voor 1,50 euro. Heel fijn om aan te brengen, je zou niet zeggen dat het zo'n goedkoop lakje is. Ik begin weer steeds vaker bij de goedkopere merken te kijken, omdat er van die juweeltjes tussen zitten! (2 laagjes+topcoat)

You can find this brand at Woolworth in Germany, for 1,50 euro. Very easy to apply, you really can't tell it's such a cheap polish!Lately I've been checking out the cheaper brands more often, because there you can find little treasures!(2 coats+topcoat)

Yesterday's mani upgraded.

NOTD: Essie- Sexy Divide+Swarovski

Ik had foto's in daglicht moeten maken, wellicht morgen. Essie-Sexy Divide: 2laagjes+ Swarovski en Out The Door topcoat.

I should've taken these pics in daylight, perhaps I will tomorrow. Essie-Sexy Divide: 2 coats+ Swarovski and Out The Door topcoat.

Glitter Week!! Kick off: Wet 'n Wild Sparkled

Deze week ben ik in feeststemming! Mijn dochtertje wordt zaterdag de 27ste 3 jaar! Dus, van vandaag t/m zaterdag íedere dag een NOTD met glitter.
De eerste: Wet 'n Wild Sparkled. No words needed...2 laagjes, geen topcoat.

Next saturday is my daughter's third birthday, and beacause of that I'm in a festive mood. So, I decided this week will be "Glitter Week". Starting from today, until saturday, I'll post a glitter "NOTD" daily. Today's glitter polish is Wet 'n Wild Sparkled. (2 coats, no topcoat)
