Shopping: eBay summary

Hi girls,

Now the end of this year is almost here, I thought it's time for an overview of my eBay boughts in november and december...

Here they are (click the image to enlarge):

I'm a bit addicted to eBay-shopping, but they have the greatest items and nailpolishes which they don't always sell in the country I live in (NL).

These are the items I really ♥ most:

Black Sunglasses

BB Cream

Blue Shell Ring

Black Python Belt

100% Leather Skinny Belt in Camel

I'm still waiting for the mini OPI polish (Nicky Minaj collection) in Pink Friday to arrive. 

Can't wait to try it :)

See anything you like? Do you buy from eBay too? If so, what are your 'best buys'?

Thanks for watching!

♥ Merry Christmas ♥

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas, dear readers!

Ruffian Manicure & 100th post!

Hi girls!

This is my 100th post! Yeeey!

Today I want to show you my version of a Ruffian Manicure...

Basecolor: China Glaze 2030
Topcolor: Wet 'n Wild Black Crème

I'm a bit embarrased about my nails... They're SO short! During my sickness they started to break and I couldn't do anything about it...

So yeah... Here are my little nubbins :(

I think I like this manicure... In real life it looks better than upclose, but for the first time, I think it's ok :)
Don't you?

What do you think about Ruffian Manicures? Would you wear it?

Thanks for watching!

Cool studs

Hi girls!

Yesterday my BFF was here and I experimented a bit with some studs we've bought at eBay...

Picture taken with phone...

She is wearing acrylics, so all I did was paint her nails with Wet 'n Wild Black Crème and put the studs on.

These are the studs (2mm), bought from fairynailart at eBay for a couple of dollars.

Putting the studs on was quite some work, but definitely worth a try. This was my first attempt and I think it worked out quite nice. The second attempt will be on my own nails, when they're looking a bit better then they do now (some of them broke while I was sick).

I would like to thank my BFF, ♥ you dear, it was fun experimenting on you! XOXO

What do you think about this manicure? Would you wear studs?

How I store my imageplates...

Hi girls,

Yeey... I'm finally back! This is the 3rd week of my cold, sneezing, snivel etc. but I'm back to business :)
Thanks for all your loving and caring comments! 

Today I want to show you my way of storing my imageplates...

I think I have around 140 imageplates. About 30 Konad's, two BundleMonster sets, a bunch of fauxnads from Beauty Factory, MagnoNails, Chez Delaney, Nagelkosmetik-shop, Dashica Beauty (Shirley's plates) and a couple of plates from BornPrettyStore.

So to keep track, I really wanted to store them neatly. Without taking them out of a box or something.

I started my collection with Konad and at first I didn't have that much plates. But sooner or later my collection started to grow bigger and bigger and so I needed a good storage solution.

I've bought a couple of plastic pockets in which you can store 9 small (Konad-sized) imageplates.

The angular plates you see in this picture, are from Beauty Factory (bought as a set of 10 imageplates) and fit also in the smaller sized plastic pockets.

But then they decided to make bigger imageplates with bigger full images on it! 

And luckily I could find plastic pockets (I don't know if this is the right translation, but I don't know else how to call it?) with 6 pockets in it. And the imageplates fitted perfectly! All the pockets have an opening at the top so you can slide the imageplate right in. 

Ofcourse you'll have to be careful not to hold the binder upside down, or else all the imageplates will fall out of the pockets!

So in one small binder I now have stored over 140 imageplates!

Yup! I ♥ this storage solution!

How do you store your imageplates?

Thanks for watching!

P.S. I've changed my bloglayout... What do you think about it? Yay or nay?

Still sick... no posts!

Hi girls...

I'm still sick... Even after 7 days of sleeping (which always works best for me!) so I currently don't have the energy to polish my nails, take pictures and write posts... I'm sorry...

I hope to be back soon!

Tic... tac... Pepperoni time!

Hi everyone!

I'm still not feeling very well and lying in my bed with my laptop. Luckily I've shot these pictures a couple of days ago, so all I have to do is post them and go to sleep again :)

Today I want to show you my final stamped version of Wanna Pepperoni...

Basecolor: H&M Wanna Pepperoni (1 coat)
Stamping color: Wet'n Wild Black Crème
Stamping plate: XL B
Topcoat: Essence Nail Art Sealing Topcoat

I don't know if it's just me, but this design reminds me a bit of the inside of a clock...
Do you know what I mean? With the overlapping circles...

Like this:

Again I chose a design from the XL B plate from MagnoNails...

I own plate XL A too, but I actually like the images of plate XL B better...

What do you think of this manicure and these plates? Do you own a XL plate too?

Hi girls,

Look what I found at H&M's...

I love the purple polish!

Just wanted to share this with you ♥

Thanks for watching!

Awaken Pepperoni + XL B

Hi girls!

Hope you're all doing ok.
At the moment I'm sick (yes, AGAIN!) so I'll keep this post short...

Basecolor: H&M Wanna Pepperoni (1 coat)
Stamping color: China Glaze Awaken
Stamping plate: XL B
Topcoat: Essence Nail Art Sealing Topcoat

This is one of the XL plates I've bought from MagnoNails quite a while ago, and I have hardly used it, so I wanted to try some of the designs on top of Wanna Pepperoni...

I don't really like the way Awaken turned out on Wanna Pepperoni, so I already removed it and stamped a different design on with a darker stampingcolor...

Curious? You'll see it soon...

Thanks for watching!

Wanna Pepperoni?

Hi girls!

Today I have a new H&M polish from their fall collection to show you...

H&M Wanna Pepperoni

Wanna Pepperoni  is kind of a mustard/olive colored crème polish which applies really easy en is higly pigmented... On these pictures I'm wearing only 1 coat!

It's definitely not a boring color, but a really outstanding olive-ish color.

Maybe not a color you'd wear often, or alone... :)

I grabbed my XL-plates from Magno Nails, which are really great and hardly used, and made two new manicures which I will post in the upcoming days, so keep checking ;)

Do you like this color or don't? Would you wear it?
