Swirled Holographic

Hi all,

So yesterday I went to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and it was awesome! Seriously, I've been sucked in by the movie all 146 mins of it and for someone with a concentration level as I have, that's telling you something. I'm sooo easily distracted. I won't tell you what happens, since it's way better to watch the movie yourself, but if you're in doubt: don't doubt, just go watch it! It's my favorite movie so far, for one because they stuck to the stories in the book and second because it was really a great movie - acting, effects, the whole setting..

Okay, so far the unrelated babbling. Now for something nailrelated: a konadicure that I did a while ago! I thought it looked fun so I want to share it with you :)


China Glaze 2Nite stamped with China Glaze LOL and imageplate M63. LOL dulled a bit after stamping, but 2Nite is still very holographic. I like the effect! It's quite subtle, but still stands out. I know I sound weird lol!


It's even better in daylight and full sunlight, so I snapped some more pictures. You see more of the rainbow irl, but my camera wouldn't capure that unless it faded away all the blue and purple in the polishes. *sigh*


And while I'm posting this, I'm thinking of the summer, when there was still a lot of sunlight.. I notice my mood is better when the sun is out, so that's a bit of a downside when it's November and the sky is mostly grey. It helps to look at these kind of pictures tho!

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy your Thursday! Thanks for stopping by :)

Silver and Black Houndstooth

Hi all,

A couple of days ago (it might already have been last week - time flies!) I did a pretty nice Konad - if I may say so myself - and I wanted to share! I like the contrast in this one, it really makes it pop.


Color Club What A Drag stamped with Wet n Wild Black Creme and imageplate M63. It pops! And it's so easy to do. I'm gonna keep the color combination in mind; I really like it. And can you believe I had not used this design before? This is the first time! Jeez, gotta grab my plates a little more, cuz it's cool.. *stops rambling*

You can read my original post about What A Drag here.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Orly Star Of Bombay

Hi all!

Thanks for the sweet comments yesterday! I'm having issues posting replies so I hope I can fix it by implementing another system or something. Just want you to know that I read every single one of your comments and that I really appreciate the fact you visit my blog and even take the time to read my posts and reply to them. You all make it worth while <3 All went well at work today, although it was a slow start.. Just had to repeat everything and I will have to get used to the new system by using the program. All will be fine, I have lovely coworkers who want to help me!

Today I have one of the Orly Gems for you. I have the complete collection, but I don't even know if I've ever worn one of these polishes. Shame on me! Here is one that popped out while I was searching my helmer: Star of Bombay.


Orly Star of Bombay, two coats. Star of Bombay is a blackened dark blue shimmer. The shimmer is a lighter blue and looks gorgeous, but isn't really visible untill light hits it. Application on this one was like a dream. Opaque in two coats - although I think I could have gotten away with one for opacity. This polish went on smooth, not application issues whatsoever. Dryingtime was good as well.

I tried to take pictures in which you could see the pretty shimmer, but the darkness of this polsh as well. I hope I succeeded.. Anyway, when there's not light hitting the polish, it looks black. Just the slightest bit of light is enough to turn her blue again and to show a tiny bit of the shimmer :)

I played a little with Konad, although I wasn't as good at it as normal. I didn't feel like re-doing this though. Michèle from LACQUERIZED. convinced me to post this, so if you don't like it: It's all her fault! JK <3

I used Color Club Fashion Addict and imageplate M63 for stamping. The color combination is quite nice! The second picture is blurry to show the holo. The image isn't placed right on the nail, I know this.. I failed. Lol!

I got my prize from the contest at The Manicured Manatee in today! Whii! I won the spamapalooza contest, and this is my prize:


Ain't that just the cutest bottles ever?! I'll try to use them sometime soon, but I have a busy week ahead.. I want to take the time for these pretties!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Holo Konadicure!

Hi all!

How are you today? Almost weekend! I went shopping today and bought a ton of lovely polishes.. But only two for me. The rest is for swapping packages I'm putting together! I decided that I'd do something special for today, because I'm having dinner tonight with some lovely ex coworkers :) On to some pics!





Color Club Revvvolution, two coats. Pictures are taken in daylight, but we didn't have sun today so not so much holo.. I used Color Club Worth the Risque and imageplate M63 for stamping. Plate M63 is one of my faves so you'll see this one even more in the future! :)

I took one pic that shows a little holo:


I can haz holo!

If this looks familiar to you.. You are right! I did this before, only the other way around! Revvvolution over Worth the Risque.

Which one do you like best?

Thanks for stopping by!

Color Club Holo's

Aangezien Color Club vanaf morgen verkocht wordt bij Transdesign, leek dit me een goed moment om de foto's van mijn Color Club holo's te posten. Edit: ik zie net dat ze al verkrijgbaar zijn! Ik heb al eerder gepost over Wild at heart. Helaas heb ik nog geen goede foto's kunnen maken van Fashion addict (lichtroze holo), aangezien de zon verstoppertje speelde toen ik daar foto's van wilde maken. De foto's doen haar geen eer aan, dus Fashion Addict volgt later.

Because Transdesign will start selling Color Club tomorrow, this seemed like a good moment to post pictures of my Color Club holo's. Edit: I just saw that they're already available! A while ago, I posted about Wild at heart, so if you want to see swatches, please read this post. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take good pictures of Fashion Addict, because the sun was playing hide and seek. The pictures I took don't do her justice, so I will post pictures of Fashion Addict later.

Genoeg gepraat, op naar de foto's!

Enough talking, let's get to the pictures!






Zoals je kunt zien, was ze een beetje verlegen, maar naar mate er zon kwam, liet ze haar holo zien. Dit is drie laagjes in daglicht. Een mooie subtiele zilveren holo. Niet zo aanwezig als de holo's van Nfu Oh of GOSH Holographic, maar Worth the Risque vind ik zeker een mooie holo.

Very pic heavy, but since she was a little shy, sunlight had to show her holo. This is three coats in daylight. This is a very pretty subtle silver holo. Not as visible or holo as the holo's from Nfu Oh or GOSH Holographic, but Worth the Risque certainly is pretty.

Voordat ik verder ging, heb ik even met Konad gespeeld:

Before I went ahead with swatching, I played a little with Konad:



I used plate M63 and Color Club Revvvolution for stamping.




Revvvolution, twee laagjes. Revvvolution is een donkergrijze holo. Aangezien dit DE Revvvolution was, had ik hoge verwachtingen, maar aan die verwachtingen voldoet ze m.i. niet.. Ze is mooi, maar niet zo holo als ik verwacht had.

Revvvolution, two coats. Revvvolution is a dark grey/dark charcoal holo. Since this is THE Revvvolution, I had high expectations and unfortunately, Revvvolution didn't really live up to my expectations. She's pretty, but she's not as holo as I expected her to be.

That's it for tonight! I will try to shoot some decent pictures of Fashion Addict if the sun shows herself tomorrow. Hope this helps :)

Thanks for stopping by!
