Beautygloss remake!

  
Hi there! 
My fellow Dutchies may know BeautyGloss, which is a Dutch beautyblog. A while ago, Mascha, the website's owner, got her nails done by Maybelline.

I decided I'd try to make them myself, on my own nails :D! I didn't use the Maybelline colours, but just a few other ones I found in my stash. The green, pink, and blue (pinky finger) are from Miss Sporty, the green/blue on the ring finger is Miss Minty from Gosh, the black is from Jessica, the white from Essie, and the pink on my thumb from some unknown brand I found (bottle without sticker or anything xD). I mostly used a thin brush, like the lady from Maybelline.

Is it me, or isn't it too bad?


Here's a picture of my matte new-formula Catrice nails!

It's I'm Dynamite (the glitter) over Petrolpolitan (the green one). I used Gosh' matte top coat to make it matte. I must say... I like it. I've heard loads of comments and complaints about the formula and/or brush, but I'm not unsatisfied with it. Maybe it's because Petrolpolitan is the 'best' one from the reviews I've read, but still.

The only thing that could've been better is the amount of glitters that comes off the I'm Dynamite's brush. I had to go over my nails several times before getting enough on them.



Well. This one fits nicely on the shelf filled with Catrice (and Miss Sporty) polishes. :)

What's your opinion? Do you like the new Catrice polishes?

Bye!

Some marble tips!


Hi :)!

Today I thought I'd show you some water marble tips. I've been marbling the whole evening, just to show you the different ways you can do it. Unfortunately I couldn't make any pictures with cleaned up nails, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!


As you can see, there's a difference in the nails on the picture above. (There's a base coat on all nails.)

Living up to my nickname!


I thought it was time to get some hearts on my nails, especially because my nickname is based on my name (Arti) in combination with hearts. :D


It's just a basic, white base colour from Essie, with hearts in several colours. They're mainly from Miss Sporty. I used Gosh' matte top coat to give it a matte finish. 

What's your nickname, and why?

Bye! :D

Barry M Effect nail polish


So, I went to London with the boyfriend a while ago. We went to TopShop and that's where I bought these two polishes. The left one is a silver foil effect polish, the right one a deep red, which shatters like a crocodile's skin. 


This is the result. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I like it or not, since it doesn't always shatter very nice. For some reason, I really like my pinky finger's nail... 

What do you think about this effect polish? Tell me in the comments, or on Twitter! :D

Bye!

The Easter Bunny's nails and make-up!




Almost every year, for the last ten years, I've been playing the Easter Bunny on Easter. Just to give the people in and around my parents' restaurant a little joy (and chocolate) :D! Of course I try to bring some colour in my outfit, because otherwise everything is brown. And that's boring.

Sometimes I wear a colourful scarf, or something like that. This year I painted my nails as seen in the picture above, wore one red and one purple All Star, and wore two different coloured fingerless gloves.

Get'm lined up.


Hi there! Last weekend I went to IKEA and bought some things which I wanted to have for quite a while now... Guess what!?
