P2 Apricot Cuticle Cream

Hi all!

A couple of weeks ago, Natasja picked up P2 Apricot Cuticle Cream for me when she was at the DM. I got it while we were on vacay and started using it right away.

I have been using this for about a month now and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with the state of my cuticles! The temperatures have been nice lately, so no dry cuticles or whatever, but I seem to be neglecting my hands and cuticles when they're not absolutely dry. I use this at least once a day and I actually managed to keep doing this every day, like a little routine.


The cream smells like apricots, nice and sweet. Personally, I think this smells delicious but that's a matter of opinion :) It has the same structure as the creams that come in a tube, so it's absorbed quickly.

I pick up a bit with my fingertip and massage it gently into my cuticles. It stays a bit greasy to the eye for the next couple of minutes, but if you touch it, it just feels moisturized.

I'm really happy with this little one! It's a little jar, but you don't need a lot to keep your cuticles in good condition. The picture that you see shows you almost a month of usage. I think I'll be good for the next couple of weeks and/or months! I'm hoping this will be the solution to my dry winter hands and cuticles as well.

P2's Apricot Cuticle Cream comes in a little jar of 15ml and costs € 2,95. As far as I know, this product is only available at DM and maybe some Sleckers. (If there are more stores selling this, please let me know!)

Comparison: Nfu Oh 068 versus P2 Gorgeous!

Na het lezen van Michèle's blog LACQUERIZED., dat P2 Gorgeous! een dupe is van Nfu Oh 068, wilde ik deze twee vergelijken. In het flesje zien ze er wel soortgelijk uit, maar de kleur is echt anders. Gorgeous! is meer grijs, terwijl 068 echt paars is in het flesje.

After reading Michèle's blog LACQUERIZED. about P2 Gorgeous! being a dupe to Nfu Oh 068, I decided to compare the two. In the bottle they seem similar, but not dupey. Gorgeous! is more grey while 068 is already really purple in the bottle.

Wijs- & Ringvinger: P2 Gorgeous!
Middelvinger & Pink: Nfu Oh 068

First picture is taken in daylight, second picture is taken indoors with flash.
Index & Ring: P2 Gorgous!
Middle & Pinkie: Nfu Oh 068

Beide lakken zijn stoffig paars, of paars met een grijze ondertoon en hebben een finish van shimmer met foil. Het is meer foil dan shimmer zou ik zeggen. Dit is twee laagjes, zonder topcoat.

Both colors are dusty purple, or purple with a grey undertone and have a shimmery foily finish. I'd say it's more foil than shimmer. This is two coats, no topcoat.

Als ik je niet zou vertellen welke lak op welke nagel zit, zou je het verschil niet eens zien! De lakken zijn identiek en dus dupes van elkaar. P2 Gorgeous is te koop bij bepaalde Slecker winkels en bij DM in Duitsland voor € 1,55 voor 8 ml. Nfu Oh 068 is te koop bij onder andere Fabuloustreet, Viis en Affiniti voor een prijs tussen de € 6,40 en € 9 voor 17 ml.

If I didn't tell you which polish was on what nail, you couldn't even tell the difference. I can't see any differences between these polishes and could wear it like this. The colors are identical and so they're dupes of eachother. P2 Gorgeous is available at some Dutch Slecker stores and at DM in Germany for € 1,55 a bottle of 8 ml. Nfu Oh 068 is available at Fabuloustreet, Viis and Affiniti for € 6,40 - € 9 for a bottle of 17 ml.

Thanks for stopping by!

P2 Stylish

First: I apologize for the amount of frazzle and chipping on my nails. I wore this color for 3 days in which I assembled four closets. I'm a bit amazed this is the only damage it has done, but I'd rather show you the color without frazzle and stuff.

So here she is, P2 Stylish, a hard to miss dark pink.



First picture is indoors, second picture is taken in sunlight. This is two coats with a layer of David. Again, I assembled some closets, so damage isn't as worse as it could be. The color is a hard to miss, almost fuchsia pink. It's not neon and contains a little bit of shimmer and is really shiny without topcoat already. The polish is a bit brush strokey though, and application was a bit trickey. Structure of the polish was a bit thick, but since I ordered a bottle of Seche Restore, application shouldn't be a problem next time.

I hope I can swatch some polishes tomorrow and the days after that. I don't feel too well, so I hope I feel good enough to polish :)

Thanks for stopping by!

P2 Dangerous

Gisteravond heb ik mijn nagels weer gelakt met een lak die Kirsten (van een Minder Mutsig nagelblog) naar me gestuurd heeft een tijdje geleden: P2 dangerous. In mijn Excellijst heb ik hem gelabeled als Petrol, maar ik denk dat hij als Teal ook door kan. Mijn excuses voor de korte nagels, de winter is niet lief voor mijn nagels dit jaar..

So yesterday I decided to use a polish Kirsten (from een Minder Mutsig nagelblog) sent to me a while ago: P2 dangerous. In my stashlist I labeled it as Petrol, but it could go as a dark Teal polish. Sorry for the nubbins, but winter just hasn't been nice for my nails this year.



Dit is twee laagjes met topcoat David. De lak zou qua dekking doorkunnen met één laagje, maar doordat de structuur van de lak een beetje stroperig is, had ik een tweede laagje nodig om alles mooi egaal te krijgen. De volgende keer dat ik deze draag zal ik er wat Seche restore bij doen, dan lakt het denk ik een stuk makkelijker. De kleur van deze lak vind ik wel erg mooi, het misstaat ook niet op mijn korte nagels! De kleur is een beetje stoffig en dat vind ik eerlijk gezegd leuker dan verwacht. De P2 lakken vallen me tot nu toe zeker niet tegen, zeker niet voor de prijs (€ 1,55 per stuk).

This is two coats with topcoat David. The polish itself is opaque in one coat, but because the structure is thick, I needed a second coat to even things out. Next time I use it I will use a little bit of Seche Restore so it applies more smoothly. The polish itself is shiny enough to go without a topcoat, but I did one anyway. So, on to the color. I really like this color! It actually looks good on my nubbins. It's a bit dusty and to be honest, I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do. The P2 polishes aren't disappointing me till now! They're only € 1,55 a bottle, so I'd like to have some more.. ;)
