[NOTD] Manhattan Community Colours Fall Collection "Coffee Cream" & "Lil ol' Rose"

Hi there,

I hope you all had a great start in this new week.

Today, I want to show you another stamping with one of my favourite stamping plates Konad m65. I just love the roses image.

So with this goes two new polishes, that are new for this autumn. It's Manhattan's Community Colours "Bohemian Look". 20 wonderful colours with different finishes, creme, foil or glitter. 

Coffee Cream is a wonderful nude, cream hue with a wonderful shimmer. You can't see it on my pictures as it is raining here in Germany and so it's really dark and dull. 
I needed to apply three coats and actually, there could have been a fourth one on some nails.

For the stamping, I used Lil ol' Rose. It's a wonderful dusky pink! This one has a creme finish.

[New in] Manhattan & Playboy Super Nails Limited Edition

Hi there, 

last week, I saw the limited nail polishes by Manhattan in coorperation with Playboy and so I decided to get 2 out of the 7 colours.

And today, I want to show you both of them!

The first one is Fligh High a pearly white hue with white and silver glitter. I got the impression that this colour has a little pink in it. 

The second one is Redtastic. A bright tomato red with red and silver glitter. 

I like both of them as I haven't had colours/glitter combinations like these in my stash.

I needed three coats for a nice finish as both of the varnishes are really sheer, but it was easy to apply them, and they dried quickly. 

Turqoise - Salmon Combination with white Polka Dots

Hi there,

today, I have an easy, yet wonderful manicure for you.

I saw a similar colour combination on this wonderful blog, and so I used it as an inspiration to create my own manicure.

Actually, this blog has some great manis and colour combinations, her skills and ideas are amazing and so inspiring!

This blog used a mint hue, while I'm using a turqoise shade by Manhattan. The peach-apricot-coral-salmon hue I used is P2 Being in heaven, that's the own brand of Germany's wonderful drugstore dm.

I applied the turqoise in 2, the salmon in 3 coats:

The applied the white polka dots with a dotting tool using NYC's Pinstripe White.

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:

Halloween Challenge - Inspired by a Scary Movie

Hello Lovlies,

this is it, the Halloween Challenge 2012 is almost done, can't believe, how fast the time flew.

Well today's theme is inspired by a scary movie.

I want to tell you a little story, why I chose this movie. So I was about 9 or 10 years old, when I went to another girls birthday, we had fun and then she asked if we wanted to watch that movie. I have no idea which one of the series it was, but it just was with Freddy Krueger. The night, when I came home, I did not want to go to bed. I was afraid, that he would come into my dreams and would kill me, I did not realize, that this was just a movie.

So this is my Freddy Krueger inspired manicure:

Index and ringfinger are inspired by his jumper he is wearing, the other ones are inspired by his skin.

The red is NYC Madison Avenue the brown is Manhattan St. Honore - one coat each

Then I used NYC City Blackout and Cheeky's image plate CH 10 for the stripes and a foil and Manhattan Pumpkin Carrot Pie for the skin - image.

Halloween Challenge - Pumpkins

Hello Lovlies,

I can't believe it, next week, is Halloween, already, and after today's challenge theme, there will be just three more left.

So today's theme of the Halloween Challenge is PUMPKINS. (I followed the Challenge on this Facebook Page, if you are interested, come and join!)


So, if I had one pumpkin image plate, I would've used it, but instead, I did some weird nailart, I am not convinced that you could see, that these should be pumpkins or Jack-O-Lanterns, to be exactly. I was in a hurry, and all I can say is: I tried!

So, I started with two coats of Manhattan Pumpkin Carrot Pie, my only orange, that I have with me here in Ireland and finished with one coat of Essie Good to go.

Then I used NYC City Blackout and a dotting tool, to apply the eyes and the mouth, well kind of:
