Recycling the Mani

Hi girls (and guys),

Remember my previous mani? After a day I removed the flower and the pearls but I was too lazy to do a full mani. So I reused the base color, which was still perfectly fine with no tip wear, and applied a coat of the pretty Sakura Matsuri by Rainbow Honey over it. The result? You can see for yourself!

I was very pleased with the result! I got to enjoy a "new" mani for a few more days without having to redo it all. 

Polishes used:
Dior Lady 
BK holo 06 (accent nail)
Rainbow Honey Sakura Matsuri

Peel Off Base Coat - Easy Glitter Removal

Hello again my lovely readers!

If you follow a bunch of bloggers like I do, you've seen a couple of nice tutorials on how to DIY Peel Off Base Coat. If you haven't seen, then here are 2 great links for you to check:

Peel Off Base Coat For Easy Glitter Polish Removal by Pretty Purple Polish

DIY Peel Off Base Coat - Great For Glitter by Overpolished

I'm not gonna make my own tutorial, I'm just gonna show how this method worked for! The picture below speaks for itself.

The glitter polish came off without any effort and in (almost) one piece! As you can see I had some tip wear, as this is not a normal base coat meant to keep your polish chip-free. But for a full 3 day of wear, I'm more than satisfied! I can finally wear my glitter polishes without the hassle of (foil) removal. Two thumbs up!!!

Have you tried this method? How was your experience?

Have a great day!

Butterflies

Hi everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

Remember my previous Rainbow Honey Pinkie Promise mani? It was pretty on its own but I wanted to give it an extra "oomph"! It was a great opportunity to try some of my other "untried" stuff. So I stamped butterfly wings on my nails using the NailzCraze image plate NC01.

After I had stamped the images on all my nails I realized it would have looked better if I had stamped them the other way (left image on left hand, right image on right hand). Oh well, too late!

The images stamped very well. For this mani I used the small butterflies because my nails are shorter now. I still missed some tiny bit of stamping on my tips, so I filled them in with black acrylic paint. Also worth mentioning: if you're going to use the larger images, you will need a jumbo stamper, the normal sized ones won't pick the entire image and you'll have missing spots when you transfer the image to your nails. 

Materials used:
Bootie Babe - Brink of Pink (1 coat)
Rainbow Honey - Pinkie Promise (1 thick coat)
Konad Special Stamping Polish - Black
Acrylic paint - Black and White

Hello girls (and guys),

I hope you all had a great week and you're now enjoying your well-deserved weekend! It's a beautiful sunny day here in the Netherlands, so after this post I'll head back to my backyard and enjoy the sun while it's still here!

What do I have for you today? It's Pinkie Promise by Rainbow Honey!!! I bought the entire Equestria collection a while ago. Those 8 super cute bottles have been sitting in my "untried" drawer since the time they came in the mail. What a shame! But, hey! It's never too late to try them, right?! :-) So here it is, ladies and gentlemen, the first of the 8:

Pinkie Promise is so gorgeous and so are all the other polishes in this collection! I had a hard time picking one to try first. But this isn't gonna be my first and last to show you. I'll be coming back with more from the Equestria Collection.
