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!

I'm So Excited!!!!!!

Oooooooh ik ben zo hyper!! De pakketjesmeneer stond net aan de deur en had een *prachtig* pakketje voor me! Aan het adres van de afzender kon ik namelijk zien dat het de RBL's zijn die ik in de sale van december had gekocht!

Ooooooh I'm hyperventilating!! The mailman gave me a veeeeery pretty package. I could see the address, so I knew this package contains the RBL's I ordered during the sale in December! They're finally here!

Ik moet mijn enthousiasme even laten wegebben hoor! Jeetje, wat ben ik blij dat ze er uiteindelijk tóch zijn. Het was even spannend! Ik zal laten zien waar ik zo enthousiast over ben door middel van foto's van mijn langverwachte nieuwe lakjes :)

Whew. I need to calm myself down! Jeez, I'm so happy these finally made it! I will show you my long expected polishes by the pictures in this post :)




Look at the size of the box! The RBLs are really tiny!



Frugalista & Locavore



Stormy, Teal & Bruised



Recycle, Orbis Non Sufficit & Scrangie



She put in some extra's: Finger Paints Gallery Glitz and Sinful San Fransisco



Groupshot!

Unfortunately I cannot play with these pretties till friday, so I have to be patient.. I will post swatches as soon as I can!

That's it for now, hope you enjoyed looking at these babies as much as I did ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

OPI Mad as a Hatter

Zijn jullie klaar voor Glitter met een hoofdletter G? Ik hoop het maar, want vandaag draag ik OPI's Mad as a Hatter van de Alice in Wonderland Collectie! Ik heb ontzettend veel foto's gemaakt en die wil ik nu graag met jullie delen.

Are you ready for Glittaaah with a capital G? I hope so, because I've got OPI's Mad as a Hatter from the Alice in Wonderland Collection for you! I took a gazillion pictures and of course I want to share them with you!

GLITTERRRR!!! WOW!! Eh, okee. *haalt adem* OPI's Mad as a Hatter (3 laagjes) over 1 laagje China Glaze Millennium. Dit is mét topcoat SV. Oh mijn hemel. Als OPI glitters maakt, doen ze het goed! Dit is een multigekleurde glitter. Van veraf is het voornamelijk zilver/grijs wat je ziet glimmen, maar als je dichterbij kijkt zie je ook blauwe, roze, paarse, oranje en groene glitters. Is ze niet geweldig?? Ik kan niet stoppen met staren naar mijn nagels!

GLITTAAAAH!!! WOW!! Ehm, ok *takes a breath* three coats of OPI Mad as a Hatter over one coat of China Glaze Millennium. Pictures are taken with a thick coat of SV. Ooooh my god. This is so cool! I love glitter! This is just Glitter with the capital G! When OPI makes glitters, they do it right! This is a multi colored glitter. From a distance you see mostly silvery grey glitters, but when you come to take a closer look, you can also see pink, purple, blue, orange and green glitter. Isn't she great?! I can't stop staring at my nails!! She sparkles all over the place!

Something completely different, but I wanted to show you the newest members to the np family:

Gold Polish and New Dutch Blog About Nails!

Vandaag heb ik wat gouden swatches voor jullie! Goud is voor mij niet helemaal mijn kleur, maar toen ik deze bestelde wist ik dat nog niet. Ik was in de overtuiging dat als het mooi stond op Scrangie, het ook mooi zo staan bij mij. Niet dus :P

Today I have some golden swatches for you! Gold isn't really my color but I didn't realize that when I bought these. I thought that if it looked good on Scrangie, it would look good on me too. Guess again :P

la girl rockstar live on stage gold glitter gritty nail polish nailswatches
LA Girl Live on stage, drie laagjes zonder topcoat. Ze lijkt een beetje bobbelig, maar dat valt op zich wel mee. Live on stage is een gouden lak met verschillende grootten holo en niet-holo glitters. Het is een beetje een 'pale gold', waardoor ze nog niet eens zo heel slecht werkt met mijn huidskleur.

LA Girl Live on stage, three coats without topcoat. She may be a looking a little bobbly in the picture, but it isn't too bad irl. Live on Stage is a pale gold with various sizes of holo and non holo glitters. She doesn't clash with my skintone too bad, I think I actually like this in some way. It will not be my favorite, though.


LA Girl rockstar nail polish nailswatches electric guitar gold
LA Girl Electric Guitar, vier laagjes. Mijn hemel.. Deze past totaal niet bij me en ik vind dat ze ook niet echt lief samenspeelt met mijn huidskleur! Electric Guitar is een warmere gouden shimmer met microglitter en chunky hologlitter. Op de foto ziet het eruit alsof er bobbels op zitten, net als bij Live on Stage, maar Electric Guitar is hier helemaal glad! Maar de kleur... Nee, Electric Guitar is niks voor mij.

LA Girl Electric Guitar, four coats. Oh my.. This really doesn't play nicely with my skintone. Electric Guitar is a warmer golden shimmer with microglitter and chunky holo glitter. She's not even a bit bumpy, the polish is completely smooth. The color though.. Oh my, I really don't like this one.

Color Club Wild and Willing, drie laagjes. Deze had gewoon drie foto's nodig omdat ze zo gaaf is! Ik noem het wel goud, maar in sommig licht is het meer een soort koperkleur. De lak zelf is een shimmer met een lichte duochrome flash naar bruin. Zie je dat in de laatste foto? Geweldig! Ik kan niet geloven dat ik haar nog nooit heb uitgeprobeerd! Ze was nog een untried, maar ik ben echt blij dat ik haar herontdekt heb.

Color Club Wild and Willing, three coats. This one just *needs* three pictures because she is so cool! I call this gold, but in some lightings it's more of a copper kinda color. The polish itself is a shimmer with a slight duochrome flash to brown. See the different colors in the last picture? Gorgeous! Look at the awesome shimmeryness! I can't believe she was still in my untrieds. I'm so glad I discovered her again!

And what's swatching without a little Konad? Since I got my new plates in, last week, I started to do a lot more Konad again. This is plate M57 and for stamping I used Konad Special Polish Black Pearl. I think it looks good! What do you think?

Last, but certainly not least; there's a new Dutch blog about nails! Be sure to check out Michelle's blog at The Lacquer Files!
