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

[NOTD] Primark Nail Polishes & Essie Penny Talk

Hi there

today is Monday, and so I needed to cheer myself up a little bit.
So I did some mani and stamping with some new Primark nail polishes.

This is with what I came up with.

I used Essie Help me grow as a base and applied one coat of the Primark varnishes. It's kind of a weird colour, kind of a khaki green, but it reminds me of a lake or pond at the same time. It's sometimes more than a teal. Definitely a green with a little teal/turqouise/blue hint.

Then I used a clingfilm and the second of the Primark ones. This one is a bright shimmery blue-turquoise-green. I really love how it turned out. I used Essie Good to go, to fix these colours.

Then I did the stamping with Essie Penny Talk, I really love this copper tone. I used the Cheeky CH-14 image plate. I finished with one coat of Sally Hansen InstaDri. Et voilà my manicure.

I really love how this colour-combination turned out.

Sunday's Facebook Challenge #10 Valentine's Day

Hi there,
I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!

Today's choice in our Facebook group Adventures in Stamping is Valentine's Day.

First I wanted to create a mani in pink or red, but then I went to our local H&M last afternoon and found Peppermint Fusion a beautiful shimmery light blue and so I decided to come up with some design in blue and brown.

As a base coat I used 2 coats of Essie Help me grow followed by two coats of H&M's Peppermint Fusion and finished with one coat of Essie Good to go.
I saw this colour on some blogs and really fell in love with it. When I first popped into the local H&M last September this colour was available, but I didn't buy it. And after that, I couldn't find it everywhere. So I am really happy that I found it yesterday.

So then I went with Manhattan St. Honore a shimmery brown by using the Cheeky plate CH15. I finished my mani with Sally Hansen InstaDri.

Sunday's Facebook Challenge #9 Stamp your profession

Hey there,
Sunday is almost over, but I was busy all the day, so I show you my mani for today's Facebook Callenge in the evening.

Today's topic is "Inspired by your profession". Well really difficult for me as I work as an Au Pair and I don't have any stamps that fit.

So I went with another thought. I am minding 4 kids, 3 boys and a cute little two year old girl. She is so cute, I really would steal her from her family if I could. So as she loves pink and Minnie Mouse and Hello Kitty I did a girly pinkish mani with a Hello Kitty stamping.

First I went with three coats of the beautiful "Prospect Park Pink" of NYC's. It such a nice elegant rose colour, I really fell in love with.

 Then I used Dashica's SdP-46 on the tumb and ring finger and Cheeky's CH-24 on the middle finger and used a dotting tool for the polka dots. The polish I used for this is OPI Mauving to Manitoba.
