New in & swatched : Essence mono eyeshadows & bronzer

Hi everyone!

A while ago I shopped some eyeshadows from Essence because it was a buy3pay2 kind of thing and whilst looking around I decided to finally pick up bronzer and starting to use that in my make-up routine.

 

I love the off-white and the bronze eyeshadow. The off-white became my go-to browbone colour and the bronze has such a beautiful and warm colour, great for a quick bronzy smokey eye.

But I'm not such a fan of the minty green one. The colour payoff isn't great and the shadow hardly shows up on the eye. But I kind of expected that from a €1,29 eyeshadow. Though I must say I like the new packaging! They're opening way more easier and no worries breaking or damaging your manicure! (*first world problems!*)

I've been using the bronzer for a while now, and I like it, but it's still that tad to warm for my skintone... I can't really say much about it since I've never used other bronzers!

Swatch : Don't touch my mosserati! - Catrice mono eyeshadow

Hi everyone!

I always try to stay away from mono eyeshadows in stores, because I get so easily tempted to buy colours that I already have. But I saw this one caught my eye and I just had to had it! It is soooo pretty! It's the perfect mossy green with golden shimmer. I absolutely love it!
And it ws Catrice, so didn't cost me a fortune, €2,89 to be exactly.

Look at my ring, my ring is amazing!

Hi everyone!

I'm just crazy about colourshifting things! Check out this nail polish ring! Puurretty!

Roses

 Hi everyone!

I loh-ooove rose manicures, but never got them the way I wanted on my nails. Thank to Robin Moses on youtube,  got this supereasy technique to create the most awesome roses! I think this is one of my favourite manicures I've done!

Yes Love - Neon swatch

Hi everyone!

The neon trend is going on for quite some time now, but until 2 weeks, I only had one orange neonpolish in my stash. I've never really been into the fluo/neon trend, but I always was more attracted to the "pastelneon" shades. I picked these up at 'de zonnebadjes' in my hometown. Look how puurrrretty!

Nude to Coral gradient

Hi everyone!

Gradients: I just can't get enough of them! They're easy and quick and look stunning! This manicure also features one of my new favourite polishes: Barry M lychee!

Textured half moons

Hi everyone!

Today I got some half moons and textured polish (by Barry M). Celine picked Altantic road up for me, she's such a sweetie :D

Sadly enough I found Atlantic road a very hard polish to work with... Even though I only used 2 coats, The manicure looks really thick and heavy :(

NOTD : P2 - Strict

Hi everyone!

The moment I found out that budgetbrand P2 came up with some awesome textured/sandy polishes arrived, I had to have them! So I sent my aunt on a quest (she lives ini Germany) and she picked up the ones I wanted :) This is one of them: Strict. A grey and silver glitter, and a flash of purple in certain angles. If you ever get the opportunity to get these, don't hesitate!

Barry M - Yellow Topaz

Hi everyone! 

Another very pretty Barry M polish :) This is Yellow topaz, golden and holo glitters!

Barry M - Refresh Mint

Hi everyone!

When I was London I purchased my very first Barry M's, ever since, I'm a big fan of the brand :D
Here's Refresh Mint. I wanted this colour since I saw the first swatches on the internet, and I'm sooo glad I finally got it :D
Look how pretty! Too bad my base coat was messing the whole thing up with bubbles :(

Spunge spungie spunge

Hi everyone!

One of the simplest manicures I've ever down, randomly spunging colours on my nails! And it gives a fun and summery effect :D Me gustah!

Red nails with leopard half moons

Hi everyone!

I'm sooo happy with these nails :D they look so fancy!
The red is "Save your kisses for me" from essence and I crowned this one as my fav red!

China Glaze - Get carried away

Hi everyone!

This one is also from the Cirque du Soleil collection. I'm not sure what to think about the bar glitters and find it so hard to find a good colour to combine it with. I want the golden, silver, black and red glitter to pop at the same time. This time I used The dawn is broken (Essence) underneath Get carried away. It does the trick but it doesn't make the perfect combo... Any suggestions?

The formula is good and you can use the polish on it's own if you don't like it is as a topper.

China Glaze - It's Trap-eze

Hi everyone!

I have this polish for a while (after quarelling with the customs and waiting way too long for my package to arrive :( and at the end paying big ass extra fees), and I do not regret buying it.

It's trap-eze is a gorgeous glitter bomb mixed with a white base. It's part of the Cirque du soleil collection and (in my opinion) it fits in perfectly! It covers in 2 layers and with a good layer of topcoat, the surface is smooth. Applies like a charm and looks awesome... all I need!

Essence - Upper green side

Hi everyone!

This green is one of the updated essence collection and absolutely in love with it! It's kind of a pastel colour but at the same time it pops! Very pretty! I totally recommand this to every greenlover.

To add more fun, I topped it off with glitter, woohooooo!

Mix up

Hi everyone!

Last week was soooo buzzy but fun because of the marvelous weather! I really had a fun week.. Anyways, this is a manicure I did some while ago. I wanted to show the one from this week but the subtle contrast I used to make roses did not show up in the pictures :(

I hope you like this one as much as I did!

Galaxy Nails 2

 Hello there!

This is my second take on galaxy nails and I like it so much more! Spring break is almost over and (of course) is over toooooo sooon. I could use another week!

Belgium expects crazy temperatures tomorrow... 20°C! I hope I'll get some work done in the sun...

Matt gold and black saran wrap

Hi everyone !

Yesterday I went to Antwerp with my two hot chickaaa's. Even though Imke & Chiara were LATE (yes they were, naughty kittykats!) we had a MARVELOUS time. We ate, strolled around en did some shopping. Guess what! I only bought one polish unlike my friends who went a little crazy.

Anywayzzz : The manicure that I was rocking was a quick saranwrap with Catrice Gold Finger and China Glaze Stone Cold

Ooooh yeaah, I know you can see all the fun running down our faces!

PS: HAPPY EASTER!

Triangled stripes

Hi everyone!

A manicure from some time ago, inspired by the The Nailasaurus. Amazing blog!

NYC City Mono Eyeshadow

Hi there!

I bought his NYC eyeshadow just because I would have an awesome reduction buying 3 products of NYC and this mono eyeshadow - together with a black one - were the only ones left, so I grabbed it and paid.

Anyways, without any thought I bought an awesome highlighter! I love how it's off white with a hint of golden shimmer, which gives an amazing glow! 

If you want a pretty and not too much highlighter, go out and grab this one! It retails for only €1,99... How amazing!

NOTD Essence Pop Pastel Blue

Hi everyone!

Lately I've really been into blues! Just wanted to show you this beautiful one! It's Essence's Pop Pastel Blue; i'm in looooove! It covers in 2 layers and applies smooth, no complaints!

I topped it off with a casuelle duochromy-ish topper, but the photograph just isn't showing it's beauty. The topper shifts from a purple to gold shimmer, soooo pretty!

Is there a particular new polish, or colour you've been into lately?
