Recent Sparkle-y NOTD

Hi all,

A quick NOTD post today. I wore this almost two weeks ago, I think? I loved the look, even though most of my nails were green and I had blue accent nails, but anyhow, it was all sparkle-y hehe.


Orly Enchanted Forest with CND Teal Sparkle on my pinky, middle and index, and OPI Absolutely Alice on my ring fingers (and thumbs, but I don't have a picture of that). I thought it looked pretty nice! I have to admit that I hadn't worn Absolutely Alice till then, so it was about time *hangs head in shame*


I wasn't impressed with the wear of AA though, it fell off both my thumbs on the second day I believe, so no, that was a big downside for me.

I will do a seperate post on Absolutely Alice in the future :)

CND Teal Sparkle Meets Orly Enchanted Forest

Hi all!

Two weeks ago, I showed you CND Urban Oasis and Teal Sparkle (damn, is it two weeks ago already?). I started trying Teal Sparkle over several different polishes, and today I want to share one of my favorites with you :)


CND Teal Sparkle over two coats of Orly Enchanted Forest. This was so pretty that I kept it on for four days (I wanted to try more layering thingies).


Teal Sparkle is a gorgeous effect that works really well with Enchanted Forest - a very pretty forest green. I really love the effect - the flecks in Teal Sparkle reflect mostly green in various shades, but also blue and gold.


Bonus closeup pic! I couldn't stop staring at my nails. I put my nails under my desk lamp all the time to see the effect and admire the prettyness..

I think you will see a ton more of these layering combinations in the future, hehe. If you have layering suggestions for CND effects, please tell me!

CND The Look: Urban Oasis & Teal Sparkle

Hi all!

I'm feeling better, seems like I have a cold or something so I should be alright in a couple of days :) Today I have the present that I gave myself for you: The Fall/Winter set Night Factory with Urban Oasis and Teal Sparkle.

CND Urban Oasis, one coat in daylight. Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is a onecoater! Urban Oasis is a gorgeous teal creme that is awesome in opacity, since it only needs one coat to be fully opaque.

The polish itself is a little on the thick side, only just a little, so the polish is easy to work with and applies smoothly.

But then.. There's an effect in the set as well. It's meant to layer over the colour, so here we go.


CND Urban Oasis with Teal Sparkle on top. Doesn't that look pretty?! The sparkle really compliments the color and the particals show op really good.


Bonus pic because it's so pretty ;)

I have one little note though. I own Jade Sparkle as well, which has a rubber cap, but the two polishes in the set both have plastic caps. I love the rubber caps because they make polishing the nails easier so I hope it's only the set that has plastic caps. I'm a big fan of rubber caps so I hope they keep those!

Overall: I really love this set and have to compliment myself on the awesome gift (hehe). I can see Urban Oasis becoming one of my go-to colors because it's opaque and dries quickly. I already used the Effect on another polish and it looks just as pretty as over Urban Oasis :)

Or Maybe Tomorrow?

Hi all,

Things aren't improving at all and I'm feeling less and less like myself. I feel physically weak on top of it all and I can't handle everything around me at the moment. I feel like I'm about to collapse or something. Somewhere deep within I'm glad that I edited these pictures beforehand so I can put in some nailrelated things in this post besides me complaining about my life. I'm so sorry.

The pictures I have for you today are *again* from a recent NOTD. I have a ton of nailart and swatches somewhere in my folders but I can't put myself to edit them so they'll have to wait.

CND Jade Sparkle over OPI Damone Roberts 1968. I posted about Damone Roberts 1968 and Jade Sparkle, but I didn't put them together till recently. I really like the effect, it gives a little something extra.

Most of the time I see tons of golden glass flecks giving it almost a golden flash or cast, but those show up better in the next two pictures.



Hopefully you are doing better than I am at the moment. Thanks for stopping by :)
