Hey everybody! Today, I'm doing a Nail of the day look for you AND showing you how to make your own unique nail stickers! This is such an exciting and fun little project to do. It does take a little time and you need to be patient/careful but other than that: extremely easy!  

Time to Recycle: Empties #12

You know it's time to empty your 'Empties Bag' when you discover a spider in it. This has been way too long: It's time to recycle! I know I've absent for a LONG time now, but things at school have been crazy busy. I had to concentrate on my internship and after that, I had an exam. I finally have time to blog again and trust me, I have so many blogpost planned for you guys! Let's start with one of my favorites: the empties! 

Nail of the Day: O.P.I. 'A Great Opera-unity'

In about two weeks, my new internship will start and I won't be aloud to wear nail polish. So lately, I've been wearing it non-stop! Today, I'll be showing you this gorgeous color from the O.P.I. Venice collection, that came out in the fall. It's called 'A Great Opera-tunity'. 

Nail of the Day: OPI 'I Sing In Color'

Winter is the perfect time for dark, vampy nail colors. After having my nail polish-free for almost a month and a half now, it was time to provide them with a color. Today, that is OPI's 'I Sing In Color' from the Gwen Stefani collection. Kruidvat was having a sale on a selection of OPI colors this weekend and I got this shade for €5,99 only. 

Empties 8: My Beauty Trash (May 2015)

Hey sweeties! Ready to look trough my beauty trash together? My empties bag started to look a little bit full again so I decided to do another empties post. As you know, I absolutely love reading and writing empties posts so I actually really wanted to do one, after a few months. Let's start talking and then recycling!

Let Spring Begin: Top 5 Nail Polishes for the Season

Hello everyone! After a week of being away with school, I'm back to blog for you! Spring is almost here but after a very sunny day here in Belgium, I couldn't wait to start writing about it. On Instagram, there is a tag going around called 'The Spring Tag'. You're supposed to pick your top 5 favorite nail colors for the upcoming season. I decided to talk a bit more about each color here. 

NOTD: Neutral glitter with OPI 'My Very First Knockwurst' and Maybelline 'Rose Chic'

Hey sweeties! How is your sunday going? I'm back today with an NOTD. I was in Lille this week for some shopping and I got this lovely nude OPI nail polish called 'My Very First Knockwurst'. It was from the Germany collection a few years ago. I don't think it's available in Belgium anymore so I was happy to find it. I also picked up Maybelline's Rosy Gold, from the Crystallize collection.

What I Got for Christmas 2014

Hello everybody, welcome to what will probably be the last blogpost of 2014! I had a lot of Christmas event with family and friends the last couple of days, which why this post is little bit late, but I still wanted to share with you guys what I got for Christmas this year.

USA Haul Part 1: Bath & Bodyworks and Nail Polish

Hi lovely ladies! Welcome to part one of a trilogy of USA Hauling. Are you ready? Are you able to handle it all? Yes? Good. Today, we're starting with nail polish and stuff from Bath & Body Works. Next haul will be makeup (my back is soar from leaning over and taking pictures. I warn you, it will be a lot). Last but not least, part 3 will be fashion and jewelry. I did not but any clothing items but I did buy one pair of shoes, a few bags and lots of jewelry. Most of the jewelry were on sale. Stay tuned for all of that!

After watching over a hundred hauls on youtube, I was so happy to finally walk into a B&BW and look around. Their fall line just came in and they were having a few sales. I was very overwhelmed and a bit lost, there was so much to choose from! 
The sales: 3 little candles for $10, 2 three wick candles for 22$, buy 2 items from the permanent range, get one for free/get three items, get two for free. They also had a sale on handsoaps, but I only got two.

Nail of the Day: OPI 'You're Such A Budapest'

Hello girls! Today, I'm back today with a another NOTD. I was on a hunt for this polish. It's called 'You're such a Budapest' and it came out with the 2013 'Euro Centrale' spring collection, but I somehow missed out on this color. It's not available in Belgium anymore so I searched for it in Paris. No luck there. But I found it in Lille at the Monoprix. The security man walking around probably thought I was crazy because I almost screamed 'YES!' when I saw it.

Paris Haul: Beauty & Skin Care

Hi sweeties! Today, I'm showing you all the beauty stuff that I got in Paris. I mostly went to Sephora and I got some stuff in a Pharmacy and one thing at Monoprix. I really wanted to buy the Too Faced Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette, but it was sold out everywhere. I went to three Sephoras and one girl who worked there said it was sold out in all the Sephoras in France. Too bad, but I found some other fun things.

This will be a long blogpost, so get yourself a snack and something to drink, sit back, relax and have fun reading ;)

The best part of the haul is that EVERYTHING was -20% at Sephora! (Also on the website)They were having some kind of June sale. 

World Cup Crazy: My Summer Nail Polish 'Team'

Hello lovely readers! Today, I'm back with a post about my favorite summer nail polishes. Because the Fifa World Cup starts today, I thought it would be fun to give this post a bit of a football tint. So here is my summer nail polish 'team'. I picked out 11 polishes, just like there a 11 soccer players in one team.

Battle Of The Mint/Blue-Green Polishes

Hey sweeties! Today I'm back with a 'battle of the mint/bleu-green polishes'. I did one like this about a year ago, with a comparison on my taupe nailpolishes and I really liked writing that post. This time, I'll compare my mint polishes. I went trough my collection and I must admit, I never realized I had so many mint greens colors. I'll tell you about the formulations, colors and which ones are my favorites.

April Favorites 2014

April has flown by and summer is getting closer and closer. I skipped my March favorites this year because there wasn't a lot of difference with my February favorites. But in april, I discovered some new stuff (mostly hair stuff and blushes) so let's get started!

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?
xx,
Astrid

Nail of the Day: O.P.I. 'Over and Over A-Gwen' Review and Swatches

Hey girls! Today, I'm showing you a nail polish from a collection I've been waiting weeks and weeks for: 'Over and Over A-Gwen' from the Gwen Stefani collection for O.P.I. I've been to the store so many times to see if the collection arrived and a few weeks ago... it had arrived! I picked up two colors: Push And Shove and 'Over and Over A-Gwen', which is the one I'll show you guys today.

This polish comes in a very beautiful collectors box and includes nail glue and Swarovski studs and crystals to spice up your nail look. I'm a big fan of Gwen Stefani, so I loved the box. It also comes with a little pamphlet that gives ideas on how the use the studs in combination with other colors from the collection and how to achieve the look.

What's On My Christmas List?

December is finally here and that means that we can put up our Christmas trees, go christmas shopping and enjoy the holidays! I've been wanting to do this blogpost for a few days now, but I decided to wait at least until december had actually started.  
Everywhere, Christmas collections and gift sets are popping up and I'm getting really excited for Christmas this year. I wanted to share some things with you guys that are on my Christmas list this year.

Nail of the Day: OPI 'Peace&Love&OPI' Swatch and Review

Good afternoon, my girls! Let's talk about 'Peace&Love&OPI' from the new O.P.I. San Francisco collection. This is the only color I picked up from this collection and for me, it's also one of the more unique colors. It's a gunmetal grey color with a purple and green duochrome to it.
