Essie - Sew Psyched with Full Nail Water Decal 'Sweet Rose'

This is my first time using water decals and I'm hooked. It's so easy to do and I think it looks neat! I used the design Sweet Rose today. This set contains 12 decals in various sizes and a little file. I received a piece of paper with instructions, but this tutorial also helped me a lot. For a smooth result it's really important to apply top coat! I applied the water decal over two coats of OPI - Mod About You. I'm wearing Essie - Sew Psyched and studs on the rest of my nails.

The full nail water decal set costs €1.59 at Djasa (a Dutch webshop).
The studs (gold ones, but I painted them silver) come in a wheel from Born Pretty Store.

Thanks for watching!

a england - Sleeping Palace

I'm sure this smoky purple nail polish with prismatic sparkles is a treat for your eyes! I'm wearing one of a england's newest shades, Sleeping Palace. Sleeping Palace was super easy to apply with perfect coverage in two coats. It's a pigmented shade, so I used it for stamping on a couple of accent nails (base colour is a england - Guinevere). I'm obsessed with this design from Bundle Monster plate BM-313.. I have the feeling this is not the last time you're seeing it on my nails!

Sleeping Palace reminded me of Misty Blush from Layla Cosmetics. They're definitely not dupes, although the base colour is quite similar. The prismatic effect of Misty Blush is much stronger.

Tiffany Triangles

Models Own Blueberry Muffin + Shimmer Polish Tiffany (taped triangles)
A simple and clean mani, just how I like it. The pale blue creme is Models Own - Blueberry Muffin. What a gorgeous colour! It was opaque in two coats and has a subtle blueberry scent. After wearing it for four days it was still looking good so instead of removing it I added a little something. I used tape and Shimmer Polish - Tiffany to create the triangles. Cindy's glitter creations are true stunners, Tiffany is no exception! The perfect mix of blue and pink... ♥

Thanks for watching!

Clowning Around With Neon

China Glaze Sun of a Peach + Lush Lacquer Clowning Around

This mani screams summer to me! I don't know about you, but I can't resist wearing neons all the time during summer. On most nails you can see Sun of a Peach, one of my picks from China Glaze's Sunsational collection. This polish looks super bright and kinda pastel at the same time (it has more white in it than China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy for example). The formula wasn't the best, I needed four coats plus top coat for an even streak-free result. But to be honest.. for this colour I'd do everything, it's amazing! I'm wearing Clowning Around from Lush Lacquer over a white creme on the accent nail. The orange hexes in this beautiful neon glitter polish turned out to be a perfect match with Sun of a Peach, lóve that!

On the picture below I'm wearing the ultimate summer colour for toes, China Glaze - Neon & On & On. Like all neon shades, it looks brighter and much more awesome in real life.
