FingerFood's Theme Buffet: #4 Sparkle

Here we are with the next Theme Buffet manicure. Today's theme was Sparkle and this is how my manicure looks like:

For this manicure I have used:

• Rimmel - Blue Vogue
• Essence Special Effect Topper - Nr. 10 Glorious Aquarius

The base color is in fact a dark blue, not black. I often argue about this topic when I am wearing this polish  :-). I like these "almost black" polishes, but a with a little hint of a color. One of my favorites of this kind is Flormar - Nr. 455 (see the shade here).

The glitter topper made by Essence has a great formula. It's so full of glitters that I only needed to apply one coat to get this effect. 

The next theme will be Birthday / Celebrations and will be posted on the 2nd of February, 2014.

OPI - It's My Year

The polish that I am going to show you today is from an older OPI Collection: Miss Universe 2011.

OPI - It's My Year

It's My Year it's an interesting combination of purple with golden to green shimmer. I have applied 3 coats for these images.

I have also applied it over a black base (unfortunately haven't taken a picture of it) and the golden shimmer transformed into green. It wasn't so spectacular. I wouldn't do it again.

FingerFood's Theme Buffet: #3 Weather

At first I didn't know what manicure I could possibly do for this theme, but then I remembered that I haven't done a cloud manicure for a while now.

I have chosen 3 shades of blue polish and this is what came out of them:

For this manicure I have used:

• OPI - I saw ... U saw ... We saw ... Warsaw (from the Euro Centrale Collection)
• Gabrini - Nr. C06
• Essence Snow Jam - Goofy-Blue
• Nubar - White Polka Dot. I have applied one coat of this beautiful polish because it reminds me of stars and snow :-)

Let's have a closer look at my Weather inspired manicure:

This manicure reminds me either of  starry night or snowing :-)

The next theme will be Sparkle! and will be posted on the 26th of January, 2014.

FingerFood's Theme Buffet: #2 Shapes / Geometric

It's time for the second FingerFood's Theme Buffet manicure. The theme was Shapes / Geometric.

For this manicure I have used:

• OPI - The Spy Who Loved Me
• Flormar - NA01
• Flormar - NA12

After finishing the manicure it occurred to me, that maybe this manicure should have been about a geometric shape, but it was too late. 

Lately I am into lines and dots and dots within dots and this manicure is not an exception :-).

 

The next theme will be Weather and will be posted on the 19th of January, 2013.

White Peacock Fearher

Pantone announced, that the color of the year 2014 will be Radiant Orchid. I personally am not a fan of this color, I liked last years color a lot better. I will definitely be wearing last year's color this year too! It's this powerful emerald.

For today's manicure I have chosen a darker color than Radiant Orchid and combined it with a white peacock feather.

For this manicure I have used:

• Farmec Nr.29. I like this purple polish a lot. Although it has a regular brush, I found it is easy to apply due to it's thick formula. One coat would have been enough, but I have used 2 (I am used to it :-) ). Nr. 29 is similar to Rimmel Nr.180 Purple Pulse (I have used it for this manicure)
• Water Decals from Born Pretty Store, sent to me for a review. The decals are available here (item Nr. 5311). For only $1.99 you will get 11 different patterns. For my manicure I have chosen the white peacock feather, to create a contrast with the base color.

Nr. 29 and Nr. 364

Golden Rose Rich Color Nr. 32

It has been a while since I have shown you a manicure. Christmas is over and getting back to work is harder then ever before :-(. I have decided to bring some color into my life with this manicure:

For this manicure I have used:

• Golden Rose Rich Color - Nr. 32. This polish was sent to me for a review, along with some other beautiful polishes.  Nr. 32 is really similar to Golden Rose Paris Nr. 54. The polish that I have used now has a thicker formula and a big brush I absolutely love. It makes applying the polish so much easier and less prone to mistake.
• Nail decals from Born Pretty Store, also sent to me for a review. I have used it already with this manicure. I like them because they gave the manicure an elegant, slightly vintage feeling. At least that's how I see them. I would recommend using the decals in 1-2 months after receiving them. Mine started to tear, they dried up I guess. The decals are available here (item Nr. 6229).

Chaos & Crocodiles - Rainbows All Around

While I was cleaning up my manicure pictures I found one that I haven't published yet. I have worn this on the 31st of July, 2013 :-)

The glitter topper is from Chaos & Crocodiles and it's called Rainbows All Around. I have a mini bottle, with the old C&C design. To be honest, I like the new version better. I invite you to visit the Chaos & Crocodiles website. Sarey has some really nice 3-free and cruelty-free polishes there.

Rainbows All Around is a glitter topper in a clear base. Various shapes, sizes and colors mix to create this amazingly colorful glitter polish.

A little close up:

Under the glitters I have applied a light base color. I have used Brooklin French Manicure Nr. 4. This way the glitters are more visible then on bare nails.
