Hey everybody, time for another manicure! Today, I cleaned out my nail polish drawer. I found these gorgeous golden studs and a dark blue Essie color. I decided to get a bit creative and treat myself to a rock 'n roll manicure. 

Deauty April 2015: Glam Elfi Edition

Hey allemaal, vandaag ga ik de nieuwe Deauty box voor jullie bespreken. Deze maand heeft Deauty samengewerkt met de creatieve Elfi De Bruyn, gekend van de 'Happy Nails' boeken en de blog 'Glam At Heart'. Resultaat? Een goedgevulde doos vol full size beauty producten! Ik heb mijn Deauty abonnement verlengd en dit is de eerste doos van het nieuwe jaar. Deze doos bevestigd dat dat een goede beslissing is geweest!

Hey everybody, time for a new Deauty unboxing. This month, Deauty had teamed up with Elfi De Bruyn, known for her 'Happy Nails' nail art books and the blog 'Glam At Heart'. The result is a fantastic box filled with full-size products. I renewed my subscription for a whole year and this first new box showed that that was a great decision!

Eerst en vooral, kijk naar deze doos! Word je daar niet gelukkig van? Ik anders wel! Wanneer je doos open doet, zit er een prachtig versierd menukaartje in waar Elfi persoonlijk elk product beschrijft. De producten zelf zitten verpakt in een katoenen zakje. 

First of all, look at this box! Doesn't that make you happy? In the box is a little card included with personal notes from Elfi on every product. The product itself are wrapped in a cotton bag.

Nail of the Day: Floral Spring

Hey ladies! Yesterday night, I went to one of my best friend's house to hang out and watch friends while eating pancakes. She had a beautiful nail design on her nails and I asked her to do the same on mine. It's mint green (my favorite nail polish color) with white flowers. Perfect for spring and summer! I can't stop looking at my nails!

Nail of the Day: Pastel Polkadots

Hey everybody! I'm here today with a quick NOTD. I wanted to paint my nails in one of my favorite spring colors, so I decided to go for Essie's 'Lilacism'. I found it right next to O.P.I.'s 'Glitzerland' and I thought they would be a nice combination. 

I put on three coats of Lilacism. It's quite a sheer polish, but it's perfectly opaque after the third coat. Then I took the back of a makeup brush (you can also use a dotting tool or even a bobby pin) and put some of Glitzerland on a piece of paper. And then you can start putting dots on your nails! I wanted a subtle look, so I just decided to put three dots on each nail. 

I think pastel and gold makes a very cute combination! I think this would also look great with blue, pink or green! :)

What's your favorite spring color combination?

Astrid

Nail of the Day: Christmas Eve Edition: Wrapped Gift

Hello everybody! I'm back today with a NOTD. This is an attempt to do nail art. I saw this design on Cutepolishes 'Ultimate Christmas Guide' video on youtube and I decided to try it. I tried and it didn't turn out that amazing, but I still wanted to share this with you guys. 

Nail of the Day: Halloween Edition: Bloody Nails!

Hello, my lovely readers! It's almost halloween and I was feeling a little bit in the mood for some nail art today. I used to be really into (easy) nail art a couple of years back. When I saw all the halloween tutorials on youtube, I really wanted to do a look as well. This is a look that I've seen a lot of people do, but it looks really cool and it's not hard at all! ;)

Sephora Nail Art Patches Review

Hi everyone! Today I'm doing a review on a nail product: the Nail Art Patches of Sephora. These came out after Sally Hanssen released her Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. 

What are these?
These are some sort of stickers with a cool design (or just one color) made out of REAL nailpolish that you can just stick on your nails. I tried regular stickers with designs on my nails and they peeled of after 3 minutes. But these on stay on perfectly, so far! 

You just chose the right size for your nails, peel off the nailpolish and stick it well on your nail, starting from your nail bed to the end of your nail. These are very long, so you just file the remaining away. And there it is, a trendy, longlasting design on your nails within minutes!
When you are tired of the design, you can just remove it with nailpolish remover :)

These cost €9 per pack. Yes, that's not cheap but I think this is so cool for a special occasion or an event or something. I'm going out this weekend and this naildesign is just perfect! Also, they last a really long time. I'll keep you guys posted on how long they last ;)

Update: I put this pacthes on friday and today, wednesday, they are stil looking good! They have worn off a bit on the edges, but a regular nail polish wouldn't last as long!

What do you have on your nails right now? 

xx,

Astrid
