Nubar - Wild Life

Here's a mani from the vault, before summer... This is the Nubar Wild Life Karin has sent me...

I have two coats on and I stamped it with Cheeky CH52 and Essence Stampy Black...

Oh, and this is the first time I'm using a full nail design as a french tip and I think I like it... LOL

My first indie - A-England Tristam

I cannot believe I haven't been blogging for this long!!!

First of all, I am fine, thanks to God. I just took a break after my 2 month summer holiday where I had no access to "any" polish!!!! I know, scary, right? And after that, my daughter's school began and adjusting to housework again and doing other stuff... Oh, how mant times I've postponed writing a few words...

OK, guilty as charged, but enough is enough...

I'M BACK!!!!

LOL, at least I'll try to blog as much as I can...

And it means I'm starting now...

A Facebook group I'm in has a daily challenge for November about indies. For the first day, the challenge was "your first indie"... Going through my stash, I realized that I don't own that many indies and the ones I have are mostly A-Englands... Can you believe I have bought many polishes from A-England before the Royal pain in the Mail began and haven't used some of them ever since????

Well, Tristam was one of them. And it was the very first one I've bought...

So today, I'm wearing it for the first time in 3 years... Oh my God, what a loss... What a great formula!!!!

Anyway, I'll leave you with the pictures and promise to be back soon...

Thanks for reading...

Pink Nautical with Nubar Flaming Purple

Thanks to Karin from Vacker & Underbar, I have another Nubar to show you today!

It is Flaming Purple. Well, to me it is a neonish bright pink which maybe has a tiny bit of purple in it... But, again, you know me and my color describing disabilty... LOL

I really loved this color, in fact I had in on my toes a few times. It really looks lovely on the beach, with the white sand. And finally, it is on my nails.. :P

I decided to play with it, so I made a nautical skittlette..


For the pinkie, I used Cheeky CH36 with Konad white. For the ring finger, I painted plain white and with tape, I added the pink stripes. And the others were just Nubar.








It really got a lot of attention and people made nice comments on this one.


What do you think?

OPI Skull and Glossbones and another waterfall mani...

I still have a huge untrieds drawer in my room full of nail polish! I know it sounds tempting to dig into that drawer but for me it it a huge burden. I want to try them all, and love them and give them little kisses... You know what I mean... But reality is harsh, I only have 10 fingernails.

Anyway, long story short, I tried one from that drawer today. It is OPI Skull and Glossbones.

I don't know about you, I seem to like grey polish more each day. Skull and Glossbones is a light grey, an off-white one may say. And it looks perfect both alone and as a stamping base.

The pictures came out a little dark, sorry for that...



Anyway, with a base like that, I thought why not make another waterfall mani? So I did it, using silvers and greys....






The topcoat smudged a little bit, but that is a small flaw for such a lovley mani in my opinion... :P

What do you think???

Chanel Graphite

Hi everyone! Today I'll share an old mani with you. It is the infamous Chanel Graphite!!

I have two coats on my nails, and it covers nicely. It looks good alone, so I did not bother stamping over it, but the next time I'm using it, I'll stamp it with black...







So, what do you think?
