Color Club Cast A Spell Mini Collection

Halloween is just around the corner! (OK not really, but still!) I love Halloween. I love eating candy corn and I just love Halloween! I can't wait to do my Halloween manis! Got so many ideas thanks to other bloggers! But for now I have Color Club's Cast A Spell Mini collection.

Hocus Pocus is a semi-sheer base with holographic glitters. This was done in 3 coats

Spellbound is a bright neon orange creme. VERY bright


Charmed I'm Sure is a blurple shimmer. It's more purple in real life, but we all know the cases of cameras.


Bewitching is a black creme. Fully opaque in one coat. Sounds like a good polish to use for konads!

The formulas were nice. It was just a little hard for me to use since I have long fingers, and the tiny little bottle cap was hard for me to hold. Other than that no complaints!

And that is all I have for today!

Holographic Gone Chic

Hi all!

Those of you who follow me on twitter, might have seen a little preview of this since I uploaded a sneak peek of this manicure yesterday, but if not; I have a konadicure for you! I really like it, I'm loving these kind of patterns. Anyway, enough with the babbeling, on to the pics!

Color Club Worth The Risque, stamped with Color Club Wild At Heart and Bundle Monster imageplate BM20. Worth The Risque is a silver holographic polish, and you have to believe me when I say the holo shows up more in real life.

The Bundle Monster plates are really nice, but they do have one downside. Because there are more images on one plate, the images are smaller. This is a full nail plate, but I had to stamp all my fingernails at least twice - even my pinkie! But the design is lovely and double stamping worked out in the end :)

And, because I like this so much, two more bonus pics!

It's too bad that the holo in Wild At Heart won't show up when you stamp with it though, it would have been awesome if this showed you holo on holo effect!

What do you think of this konadicure?

Thanks for stopping by!

Comparison Wednesday

Hi all!

I've had a couple of requests for comparisons and I found some polishes in my stash that were a lot alike, so Comparison Wednesday it is! I apologize for the variety in backgrounds, but some colors wouldn't be accurate on a white background and some didn't like the black background. I did the best I could with it since lighting wasn't really coorperating either..

Anyway, I have no less than four comparisons for you today! Here's a little overview.

Some colors are way darker irl, but again, that's due to the background..

Left Misa Dirty Sexy Money, right Catrice I Sea You! The colors are a little too dark, but you can see that they're pretty much identical. Dirty Sexy Money is a tad bit more blue, but I don't think you could tell these apart when I wore them together as a mani.

Left Color Club Electronica, right Nfu Oh 117. Both are deep purples with red and blue shimmer particles, but Electronica is a bit darker so I'd say these are no dupes of eachother. They are siblings though, so if you own one of these two, you probably won't need the other.

Left OPI Dating A Royal and Essie Mesmerize on the right. I would call both of them medium blues, but they are no dupes. I've read somewhere that these are deadon dupes, but they're obviously not. Dating A Royal is more intense, colorwise, than Mesmerize. The latter is a bit brighter. No, these are not dupes. If you're not really into blues, you probably won't need both though.

This one is not as faded and light as my picture let's it appear, but I couldn't get a proper shot. I will try again later this week and add a better picture when I managed to take a more accurate picture.. Anyway, left is Orly Prince Charming and right is Essie Mink Muffs. Both are taup-ey cremes, but Mink Muffs is more pigmented and is warmer than Prince Charming. Mink Muffs and Prince Charming are not dupes of eachother.

Left RBL No More War, right Pieces It's a Camouflage. They are both in the army green category, but that's all they have alike. No More War is way darker and greener than It's a Camouflage so no dupes here either.

I hope this was helpful :) Again, if you have suggestions for a comparison, please let me know and I'll see if I can do one for you!

Color Club Gossip Column (Rebel Debutante Collection 2010)

I love Color Club polishes, but the Rebel Debutante Collection was nothing for me. I didn´t like the colors much :( The same with this polish. I am not sure about the color, I don´t feel myself in it. But what I loved about this one was the application. So if you like colors like this, get it and you won´t regret :)

OPI Merry Midnight

Hi all!

I hope you all survived the weekend! :) My nails even survived a game of bowling - which I lost, miserably lol. Anyway, today I have one of my favorite OPI's for you: Merry Midnight. Merry Midnight is a part of the OPI Holiday Wishes Collection of Fall/Winter 2009 and this was one of the shades that made polishaddicts go crazy; it wasn't easy for me to find this one but I'm ever so glad I did!

OPI Merry Midnight, two coats over Color Club Electronica (which I will post about soon) in daylight. Since I couldn't get my hands still, these are pretty crappy pictures.. Anyway, Merry Midnight is a gorgeous warm and deep shade of purple with tiny pieces of glitter and flakies. OPI did flakies *squeeeeee*! Flakies, you said? Yes! Let's take a closer look:


Application was good, I didn't have any problems since the polish went on very smoothly. I wore this for a little over three days and I only took it off because I wanted to change my manicure; I didn't have any chips, just the tiniest bit of tipwear.

What do you think of Merry Midnight? Do you think OPI did well with this flakie polish?

Color Club Ms. Socialite (Rebel Debutante Collection 2010)

Who would have thought there is a purple out there that I am not going to be very excited about? I wouldn´t :) But here it is...Ms. Socialite is a creme purple leaning toward plum. I couldn´t get an even application in two coats. Maybe my fault. Maybe I would like this color more if it would come for fall, but not for spring.

Color Club Warhol (Poptastic Collection 2010)

Another really bright neon polish for this summer. Nothing special, but if you like neon pinks like me, you will like this one too :) I have three coats and of course a clear top coat, as this dries matte.

Další výrazná neonka na letošní léto. Nic uchvacujícího a co by tady už předtím nebylo, ale jestli podobné láčky máte rádi, bude se vám líbit i tento :) Mám tři vrstvy a samozřejmě nechybí ani bezbarvý nadlak, protože zasychá matný.

Revvvolution Shows Its Holoness!

Hi all!

Eerder heb ik al foto's van Color Club Revvvolution gepost, maar daarop was de holo in de lak niet echt goed te zien. Een tijdje geleden heb ik Revvvolution als full mani gedragen en gelukkig scheen de zon toen!

I posted pics of Color Club Revvvolution earlier, but the pics didn't show the holo in the polish too well. A little while ago, I wore Revvvolution for a full mani and luckily, the sun came out!


Color Club Revvvolution, I believe this was three coats. It shows more holo irl, but that was really hard to capture. In the last picture, there was no direct sunlight hitting the nail.

I already commented on the formula in my other post, so this is it for now :)

Orly Star Of Bombay

Hi all!

Thanks for the sweet comments yesterday! I'm having issues posting replies so I hope I can fix it by implementing another system or something. Just want you to know that I read every single one of your comments and that I really appreciate the fact you visit my blog and even take the time to read my posts and reply to them. You all make it worth while <3 All went well at work today, although it was a slow start.. Just had to repeat everything and I will have to get used to the new system by using the program. All will be fine, I have lovely coworkers who want to help me!

Today I have one of the Orly Gems for you. I have the complete collection, but I don't even know if I've ever worn one of these polishes. Shame on me! Here is one that popped out while I was searching my helmer: Star of Bombay.


Orly Star of Bombay, two coats. Star of Bombay is a blackened dark blue shimmer. The shimmer is a lighter blue and looks gorgeous, but isn't really visible untill light hits it. Application on this one was like a dream. Opaque in two coats - although I think I could have gotten away with one for opacity. This polish went on smooth, not application issues whatsoever. Dryingtime was good as well.

I tried to take pictures in which you could see the pretty shimmer, but the darkness of this polsh as well. I hope I succeeded.. Anyway, when there's not light hitting the polish, it looks black. Just the slightest bit of light is enough to turn her blue again and to show a tiny bit of the shimmer :)

I played a little with Konad, although I wasn't as good at it as normal. I didn't feel like re-doing this though. Michèle from LACQUERIZED. convinced me to post this, so if you don't like it: It's all her fault! JK <3

I used Color Club Fashion Addict and imageplate M63 for stamping. The color combination is quite nice! The second picture is blurry to show the holo. The image isn't placed right on the nail, I know this.. I failed. Lol!

I got my prize from the contest at The Manicured Manatee in today! Whii! I won the spamapalooza contest, and this is my prize:


Ain't that just the cutest bottles ever?! I'll try to use them sometime soon, but I have a busy week ahead.. I want to take the time for these pretties!

Models Own Betty Blue

Hi all!

Vandaag heb ik weer een lak van Models Own voor jullie. Dit keer een prachtige koninklijke blauw; Betty Blue.

Today I have another Models Own polish for you. This time it's a gorgeous royal blue; Betty Blue.

Be prepared for a lot of pics!

Models Own Betty Blue, twee laagjes in dag- en zonlicht. Betty Blue is een geweldige koninklijk blauwe jelly. Dit is twee laagjes en dan is ze al volledig dekkend. Ik ben onder de indruk! Applicatie van deze lak was een beetje lastig voor mij, aangezien de lak een beetje aan de dunne kant is, maar niks dat niet opgeruimd kon worden bij de cleanup :) Droogtijd is goed, daar had ik geen problemen mee.

Models Own Betty Blue, two coats in daylight and sunlight. Betty Blue is a gorgeous royal blue jelly. This is two coats and she's completely opaque with those two coats. I'm impressed! Application was a bit tricky for me, since the polish was a bit watery, but nothing I couldn't fix without a little cleanup. Drying time was good, no problems at all.


Betty Blue met Color Club Worth The Risque. Ik heb imageplate M78 gebruikt om te stempelen. De Color Club Holo's lenen zich bijzonder goed voor stempelen zoals jullie wel in de gaten hebben! De Konad is niet helemaal goed gelukt, maar ik vind de combinatie erg leuk.

Betty Blue with Color Club Worth The Risque. I used imageplate M78 for stamping. The Color Club holo's are very suitable to use for Konad as you may have noticed! The Konad isn't the best Konad I did, the image was kinda tricky to get on right. I do like the combination though! Will try this combo again in the near future. I will take a pic when I did a better job on the Konad.

And a closer look of the image on the nail:


I think it's hot!

Well, this is it for today! How do you like Betty Blue?

Thanks for stopping by!

Color Club Emerald Depths and Butterflies!

This post is going to be picture heavy, but this polish deserves it. Emerald Depths is in my Top 3! I just love it :) It is just the perfect turquoise and works great with my skin. I tried to do some butterfly konad using plate M53. I also wanted to show you a beautiful ring from Pilgrim that I have and love to wear :)

V dnešním příspěvku je spousta fotek, ale tenhle lak si zaslouží prostor. Emerald Depths patří do mojí Top 3, miluju tenhle lak :) Dokonalá tyrkysová. Trošku jsem ho ozdobila motýlky z destičky M53. Když už jsme u těch motýlků, tak se pochlubím Pilgrim prstýnkem, který jsem si teď hodně oblíbila :)
