Chock a l'Orange

I just love orange and coral nail polish, so when I started falling for the neon trend a couple of months ago, I also started the search for that perfect neon orange.

I've looked through the orange range of Essie, OPI and China Glaze and came across some very bright orange shades. But none of them were the exact right neon one.

So when I saw swatches of Orly's new Summer collection, Feel The Vibe, I knew my search had come to an end.

Melt Your Popsicle is the most amazing bright neon orange shade I've ever seen in any nail polish. It just makes my fingers glow, and I seriously can't stop looking at it.




It was a little difficult to get my camera to show the right colour, but I think these pictures are pretty good in showing it right (taken outside in the shade):

Like in most other neon lacquers, the formula is quite thin and runny, and it's not very opaque.
In these pictures, I've used two coats of MYP over Nubar Cloud White.

Also it dries matte, so I've used a coat of Seche Vite to make it shiny :)

This is absolutely my favourite neon of all the ones I got!


   

Matching nails and shoes

Hi guys!

A few weeks ago I was invited to a party. It was Mister Man's nephew's 15th Birthday, so I knew it wasn't gonna be anything wild - and so I wore a pretty white dress with my favourite shoes (9 cm heels!)

Since my dress was plain white, I wanted to do something special for my nails. I was thinking about a crazy colour to spark things up a bit, but decided to go with a matching solution instead.

I'm very pleased with the result, and it was noticed by all the women at the party ;)

I love the gold and black laces together, and wanted to find something similar from a stamping plate. Which I did with Bundle Monster plate BM20.

The gold polish is GOSH - Gold.




Natural light, shadow:

Artificial light + flash (so a little on the yellow side :/ )

DIY: How to make a light box and take great photos

Hi guys!

I've just bought myself a light box - and I absolutely love it! But before I threw money after a semi-pro light box, I made one myself out of an old parcel box.

It was very easy and the quality of the pictures that I took for my Danish blog was improved by far.

Perhaps there's some of you out there who'd like to know how to make such a light box?

If so, keep on reading. I will guide you through the very simple method.

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? :)

The colour and scent of Summer

Hi guys!

In Denmark it's pretty difficult to find lacquers from Revlon, so when I came across this pretty thing on my latest shopping spree, I didn't think twice before putting three copies in my basket... (They're not all for me, I'm not a polish maniac ;))

I put it on the minute I got back home, and have loved it ever since.

Revlon Mad About Mango is a tangerine tango/dark coral creme polish with a scent of mango... I think... To be honest I'm not that fond of mangoes, so I don't really know how they smell...

It reminded me more of gum, which to be honest many of my scented polishes do. So the scent isn't what makes this polish special. It's the scent combined with the amazing colour!


It was very easy to apply, I loved the formula. I'm wearing three coats in the pictures below:
