I'm Not Lion - This glitter is wild!

Hi ya'll,

Today I want to show you this incredible glitter polish from China Glaze's latest collection, Safari.

It's called I'm Not Lion - and it is wild!

I wasn't really sure if I wanted it or not when I saw the swatches, but I ordered it anyway - and boy, am I glad I did so.

It's absolutely amazing. It is right up on the shelve with amazing glitters - together with the famous collection of Eye Candy 3D-glitters.


The formula in this one was perfect, it was easy to apply. As with all other glitters it was a pain to clean up around the nail, though ;)

I've used three coats and topped with Seche Vite for the pictures below (direct sunlight):

I seriously can't stop looking at this beauty. It's said to be silver with holographic glitter, but it sure does look champagne to me.

I don't think that brings it down one bit, actually just the opposite. It's very sophisticated, yet still festive.

The pictures doesn't really show how much this pretty one glimpses, it's just one of those shades that really should be seen 'live'.

I thought the glittery shades would stand back from the neons this Summer, but now I'm sure it's gonna read glitter fest all over the year of 2012  ;)

NOTD: SATC nails

Hey guys,

This weekend Mister Man is away working, so all of the mice are dancing on the tables.

Or in other words: there's a Sex & The City marathon on my TV ;)

After the first two seasons I felt so inspired I had to paint my nails pink and then the (old) New York Skyline.

And the shoes are inspired by... well, I guess it goes without saying ;)

I'm really pleased with how this mani turned out - now I just have to figure out what to do on the other hand - since I can't write the girls' names, I think it's just gonna be pink - maybe with a skyline as well.

The pink base colour is Models Own Pastel Pink, and all of the black is painted free hand in black acrylic lacquer.

The hearts are made of China Glaze Dance Baby and with OPI Teenage Dream over to make them sparkle. You need some sparkle when doing a SATC-mani, right?

As I said, I really like how this turned out :)

I'm a Carrie fan... Right now I'm at season 5 - I think that is my favourite... This or season 6 - I mean, the last two episodes in Paris... perhaps the best two of the whole series.

Who's your favourite of the girls - and do you have a favourite season or episode?

          

Tutorial: 3 x wild animal print nail art

Hi guys!

I saw these amazing wild animal print nails on one of my favourite bloggers, Leslie from Nail Polish Art Addiction, and decided to give them a go myself.

I absolutely LOVE the result! Ye be warned: It DOES take a lot of patience and time to do these. But they're totally worth it, I'd say. Though I won't be doing them again for a long time ;)

On the other hand they're very simple to do - anyone should be happy to try this design.

Anyway, look through this page before you decide on not doing them? :)
