The Polishes Challenge: 5. Warm

Hi Girls!

I always associate warm with yellow (I guess I am not alone with this), so for today's warm manicure I have chosen some "old" yellow polishes. In fact, they are my first acquisitions from this color. 

I have combined the two yellow shades with an unused white polish and a black liner. 

Products I have used:

• Rimmel Lasting Finish - Nr. 55 Sunshine
• Rimmel Lasting Finish Fruities - Nr. 58 Lemon Drop (when dried, this polish has a light lemon scent)
• Miss Sporty - Nail Tip Whitener
• Flormar - Nr. NA12

Gradient - It's Not Rocket Science

Hi Girls!

I have told you in one of my earlier posts, that I had found an old sponge in a box. Since then I just can't stop thinking of gradient manicures! 

Gradient manicures always were like my big manicure nightmares! I could never get the result I pictured in my head. Armed with extra patience and motivation, I selected the base polish. I have chosen it mainly because of it's name: It's not rocket science :-).

I proudly present my gradient manicure:

Products I have used:

• Orly - It's not rocket sciencem, from the Cosmic FX Fall 2010 Collection.
• Farmasi - Nr. 83 (black)
• THE sponge

Chaos & Crocodiles - Three Little Words

Hi Girls!

I am back with the Chaos&Crocodiles series!

Today I am going to show you Three Little Words.

After applying this white base glitter polish, I couldn't stop thinking of those three little words :-D. 

A really great combination of white polish with round red, pink and fuchsia glitters. Such a girly polish!

Other Chaos & Crocodiles polishes will follow ;-)

Until that you can check out the Facebook page of Chaos & Crocodiles (https://www.facebook.com/ChaosAndCrocodiles) or visit the new website by clicking here.

The Polishes Challenge: 4. Neutral

Hi Girls!

For this challenge I have chosen a polish that brought a while ago...but I have no idea why!

I wore it for the first time today and even my boss said that I have an "uninteresting" polish. This says a lot about it, don't you think?

Flormar - Nr. 119

The shade itself is OK but I just doesn't inspire me. I have tried stamping on it but it wouldn't work. I tried to create a gradient manicure with some nude and brown polishes and it didn't work. Desperate as I was, I ever tried to stamp on the gradient :-D. Still no success. Sorry...but I have to leave you with a swatch today :-(.
