Roses are pink and yellow

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

As promised in my previous post I have a step by step tutorial on how I did my nails! It’s supposed to look like roses, I’m not 100% happy with how they turned out but they’re fun nonetheless.

1

I started with Seche Clear basecoat and Seche Porcelain (or any white nailpolish) as a base colour.

2

Apply Pink and Yellow dots randomly, I used Check me out and Being on the A-list by H&M.

3

Make leaves! I used a green nailpolish by Claire’s.

4

Finish off by tracing with black! I used black nail art polish and a nail art brush, any fine tip brush will do! Finished off with Seche Vite for ultra shine!

It took me at least an hour to finish this! :sweat: Very time consuming but oh so fun.

Antwerp Haul

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Yesterday I went to Antwerp with my boyfriend and his brother. It was really hot outside and it was very busy but we had a lot of fun. I shopped a few things at H&M, they have a great discount going on now, if you buy two items with coloured tags both the items are 50% off. The brothers both bought a great suit which would have been €90 but they were able to buy it for €45 instead!

I let myself go a bit, splashed out and got 5 nail polishes cause I loved the colours that much. :D They’re more vibrant in real life and the purple is more reddish instead of blue.

From left to right, Check Me Out a gorgeous hot pink, Being on the A-List a bright yellow, Pink Mist a nude colour but it’s not very opaque so more suitable for French nails, Bella’s choice which is a great turquoise blue, and Fashionista which is the most gorgeous shimmery purple.

I love the colours but I’m not a big fan of the formula, it takes a long time to dry, besides Pink Mist they’re all pretty opaque though I am wearing white underneath my swatches, they look pretty much the same without and give good coverage after two layers. They do chip really easily unfortunately.

They’re €3,95 each at H&M.

I also bought some sunglasses, I already had the pink one, I bought it a while ago. I saw the mint green one when I bought the pink and I really regretted not buying it at the time. I saw it again yesterday at the separate accessories H&M store on the Meir and I grabbed it instantly. They’re just €4,95!
