Sorry, but do we know each other?! #1 - Manhattan 51K + Maybelline Speckled Pink

Hi there,

maybe you have the same problem! 
When you are a collector of nailpolish you have some colours you bought, but till now, you haven't tried them. 
Last week I was just looking at my stash and found loads of polishes, I haven't tried, yet. 
So I decided that I will try and wear some of those at least once a week!
I put them all in a basket and so I will pick one every time:

So, today's choice is a perfect choice for the Summer!
I bright and vibrant pink, you just have to love!

Manhattan 51K - I think I got it as a present with some other Manhattan polishes and I think, I used this hue before in some nail art, but I haven't worn it just the way it is.

But sooo beautiful.

I applied 3 coats.

To give it a different look, I've used Maybelline's Color Show Polka Dots in Speckled Pink on top:

Sunday Facebook Challenge - Birthstone Colour - Emerald Green

Hi there,

today's theme of the facebook stamping group is "Birthstone Colour"

I am born in May, so my color is EMERALD

Emerald is a symbol for rebirth and it should grant youth, good fortune and forsight to the owner. 

The word origin is Smaragdós/Greek or Smaragdus/Latin wich is translated as green gem. Emerald itself is derived from Esmeralda/Esmeraldus (vulgar Latin) a  variant of the Latin word Smaragdus.

Actually, there are some greens in my stash, but it took me a while to find the perfect green for this nail art.

China Glaze Jolly Holly & Glittering Garland are the both greens I used - I used the first one in two coats over Essie Help me grow and sealed it with Essence BTGN Top Sealer. Then I used a sponge and Glittering Garland to put it on the tips.

I stamped with H&M Golden Treasure and Konad m78. Actually this is one of my favourite image plates! I finished my stamping with Essence BTGN Top Sealer.

[NOTD] Maybelline Berry Fusion & Stamping with NYC Aqua Mystic

Hi there,

hope you all had a great start into the new week.

Today, I just have a NOTD with a stamping for you.

I used Essie Help me grow as a base, then, 2 coats of Maybelline's Berry Fusion, a wonderful darker, shimmery berry shade. Love colours like this. I used two coats but one should be enough, as well.

1 coat of Essie Good to go.

The image plate is an essence one, I got recently. They have a few nice ones, and I usually have no problems stamping with them.

I used NYC Aqua Mystic. It's from the foil explosion LE. I bought 3 shades while I was in Ireland, and I will show them to you, hopefully, this week.

I sealed it with Essence Better Than Gel Nails TC.

Have a wonderful week and don't forget:

P2 Pool Side Party Limited Edition & Bloglovin

Hi there,

first if you still want to follow my blog, as there won't be the GFC Reader any time soon, you can do so, by following me on bloglovin! 

P2 just released their new Limited Edition called Pool Side Party.

The colours just screaming summer, sun and sea! 

Turquoise Sky und Blue Lagoon
are the two polishes I bought!

top turquoise sky, bottom blue lagoon

Both of them remind me of the blue deep ocean and I think they match pretty well.

Blue lagoon is a deep blue, while turquoise sky is a nice turquoise shade, that reminds me of Essie's Where's my Chauffeur?

Base: P2 Base+Care Coat
2 Coats of the P2 polishes
Topcoat: Sally Hansen Insta Dri

They were easy to apply and would be a one coater, although I used two coats of both of the colours.

I got them here in Germany in the dm drugstore for 2,25€ per 12ml.

Gradient Nails & Stamping with Essie

Hi there,

this design is like: looked good in my imagination but it's a fail in real life. Well on my nails. 

I tried a gradient with Essie Watermelon and Go Overboard and it worked out not the way I wanted it to...
But at least I like the Esprit Top Coat and the Stamping...

Base: Essie Help me grow Top Coat: Essie Good to Go
Essie Watermelon & Go Overboard 
Topper: esprit clear glow
Staming: Konad m-78 & Essie Penny Talk
