L.A. Colors - Tahiti Sunrise

Hi Loves !

Long time no see ! I've missed blogging :)
I'm back with a lovely summery polish, Tahiti sunrise ! This bottle is actually from Mexico ! :)

What I really love about this polish is the shimmer, it adds a lot of depth... In some lights it looks like a blue shimmer, in other it's pink !

Oh gosh, please don't mind the super weird ringfinger shape on the picture 8-)

out this polish is the shimmer, it adds a lot of depth... In some lights it looks like a blue shimmer, in others it's pink ! Sadly I couldn't capture it in a picture :( 
Oh and it holds on for AAAAAAAGES ! Even with swimming for hours and hours, NO PROBLEM :)

I have a question for you guys, what if, since I'm so out of time for the moment, I just post like 1 or 2 pictures in a post rather than not post at all ? How does that sound ?

Only You - Acid Love

Hello Sweethearts ! 

I hope all of you are GREAT and had a lovely weekend ! 
I went to see my niece, she lives almost at the other side of the country, so unfortunately we don't see each other a lot, but when we do, we always have a wonderful time ! 
We had the busiest weekend, we did so many things, just to enjoy being together for once :)
We even made a blogpost together ! Here it is:


While we went shopping, we bought a polish from "Only You": it's a "new" brand available in the Benelux in Ici Paris XL. I already own one of their polish (Geisha - post coming up soon) which I love, but trust me, Acid Love is even a nicer one ! The finish is MEGA shiny and it stays on pretty long without a chip ! 


Ow, on this picture my hands (on the left) look square but whatever, you can see that this red/coral shade just yells summer ! I love love love it, it instantly makes you feel like drinking cocktails ! :)
What do you think ? Ever tried/heard of the brand Only You ?


Cheers ! Santé ! Gezondheid ! Prosit ! :)

Essie - Mint Candy Apple

Hello Lovely readers :)

Gosh, I love it: flowers are coming out, the trees are getting greener, it's sunnier and warmer... 
YAY for Springtime !

So here's another fresh post with an Essie polish ! :)


Mint Candy Apple is gorgeous, it instantly reminds me of warm weather, a fresh breeze, and MOJITO !
As it's a polish that lacks a bit of depth (you get what I mean?) so I usually add a coat of a Catrice top coat, but I don't remember the name, it's one that adds a blue shimmer/hue to a color)
This does add a little somethin' somethin' to MCA :)
Buuuuuut, I wanted to show the color on it's own (okay I admit, I forgot the polish at home :P)


Here I did 3 coats, but that's just because it seems like I'm clumsy today :(
You can easily rock this one after 2 coats !


I'm disappointed, in real life, my nails, necklace, ring and pants are the exact same color, but it doesn't show off on pictures, I was so proud I was completely matchy-matchy ! :)
What color reminds YOU of spring ?


Anyway, enjoy your sunday honeys !

O.P.I - The one that got away

Hello Ladies !

Ah the sun is out here in Belgium, I love it !
I'm so craving for summer now !


This is one of the Katy Perry collection I think, it's a good polish, but it's a bit too "heavy" for my taste:
ya know, glitter + multi-chrome (pink/red/green/blue) is a bit too much for me :-/


Overall, it's OPI quality :)
Great brush, 2 coats, shiny...
Everything we love !
Oh it also stays on for AAAAAGES ! :)


Have a nice day lovelies !

Essence - Hello Holo !

Hello my sweethearts !

Ok, taking pictures of a holographic polish is officially the hardest thing to do.
Every tip is welcome !

Anyway, here is Hello Holo, and gosh it's an "in-your-face-holo! -mani" ! 
I'm so sad I wasn't able to catch it in his full glory ! 


Even now, it's dark in my room and still my nails are glitter all over !
In fact it's not a "real" holo like for example the Catherine Arley's, but more like a clear polish packed with holographic glitter.


 I like it's formula, cause it doesn't take like 53279545094 coats to be opaque, I think I did 4, and trust me, it dries SUPER fast, so you won't spend HOURS to have a flashy manicure !


Look at all this ! Disco ball nails ! <3


I wish I could pull this off more often... 
Would you wear such a mani on a daily basis ? :)

Ps: Pour toutes mes lectrices francophones, merci de répondre à ces questions:

Essence - What do U think (old version)

Baby where did you get your polish from ?
I got it from Ivana !

Haha ok, I'm going Bananas !
I AM GOING BANANAS OVER THIS COLOR !

I think it's absolutely lovely !


Check how it matches the new scarf I knitted ! :P
I am aware that all of my last posts include scarves, I'm sorry for that, but I'm SO into them now !
And as spring is in the city, we have to enjoy our last moments with them :)


Another thing I ADORE about this polish: it dries SUPER fast, like really, 2 minutes and you're done !
The formula is a bit streaky, so on some fingers you'll need 3 coats :)
But the color is just perfect for mid season, flashy but not too much ! 



Oh, one last thing, I think they have another version of this polish right now, it's packed with shimmer, while this has none, and I really prefer this one, Thanks again Iv' ! :)


Oh, I usually don't ask these things, but could you rate this picture for me on the link below please ?

Thanks a Looooot ! Kisses to all of you !
