Bright green with Mundo de Uñas Lime

Hi guys! I recently received some stamping polish from Mundo de Uñas, a brand that I was very curious about. I tried some out already and well, I now want ALL their colors, haha! These stamping polishes are simply perfect! I'll of course show them all soon, and here's the first, Lime.

Please note; I had a hard time capturing the colors of my mani, the green base turned out lighter and on the blue side, and more important, the lime leans a bit too yellow on my pics. The bottlecolor and the stamping on black/white are more color accurate! It's a fresh limegreen color, especially great for the coming seasons.

As you can see on the left, it might be a lighter stamping polish, but it has no issues whatsoever with a dark base. It's a real stamping polish, which means it's a little thicker, smells a bit different (funky sweet) and is very pigmented, but this color didn't stain on my fingers at all. Yay for that! And I just needed a tiny drop of polish to easily cover the whole design on the plate, love it!

The Mundo de Uñas stamping polishes come in 2 sizes, 14ml and 5ml, and can be bought on their website and in other webshops. Those 5ml bottles aren't just cute, I think they're handy as well. If there's a color you'd like to have in your collection but you won't use as often, these babies will do the trick :)

Spilled green

Hey all! Yet another scheduled post, this one looks sunny but while I'm typing this, I'm already getting in the mood for Xmas manis! For this mani I used a bigger image and randomly stamped parts of it on my nails.

She's a flowery cactus!

Hi all :) Today's polish is the kind of polish that just has "stamp meeee!" written all over it, and so I did!

Glitter Gal She's Cactus with Konad Green and MoYou-London Pro collection 06.

The base color that I used for this mani is a fun, bright green color, but my camera had a hard time with it. Normal light pics turned out way too mint, so I'll stick to sunlight swatches. The Konad Green pulled up the green a bit more in the polish, that's why the base looks a bit different there than on the more minty swatches below :)

Glitter Gal She's Cactus.

My swatches are without top coat, and this polish applied in 2 easy coats, which was a bit surprising tbh! With these kinda creme colors I automatically assume it'll need 3 coats to give an even coverage, and after the first coat it looked like this was no exception. But the second coat was enough already, nice! Glitter Gal is another brand that you can find at Hypnotic Polish, until the webshop opens, you can find their polishes also in their FB Shop.

Preview spam and a little update!

Good morning everyone :) I'm way behind on posting previews so below the jump you'll find a bunch of them. I haven't posted recently, because my nails have been such a mess (I can be a real slack with taking care of them and my nails suddenly realized it's winter - bad combo!) and I ended up filing them as short as I could. Not the best way to show nail art or polishes, so I went without polish and spoiled my nails instead. They're still recovering, but I should be back to polishing soon, and in the mean time, there's some stuff left in the vault. So check back for nails tomorrow or Wednesday :) Thanks for sticking with me! ♥

Now onto the previews! As always, the pics are clickable for an enlargement. Enjoy!

OPI Launches Brazil Collection For Spring/Summer 2014

Brazil by OPI brings the colors of tropical rainforests and warm sandy beaches to nails and toes for Spring/Summer 2014. This new collection features a palette ranging from bright hues of red, pink, coral, orange and yellow to earthy tones of taupe, sienna, mocha and jungle green. In addition to 12 nail lacquers, the Brazil launch includes a set of four limited edition Beach Sandies Liquid Sand™ mini neon nail lacquers in bold purple, pink, turquoise and yellow shades with a textured, matte finish.

“With sun-soaked shores, tropical fruits, and lush flora/fauna, Brazil is such an inspiring locale,” exclaims Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Co-Founder & Executive VP.  “I wanted women around the world to embrace the energy and playfulness for which Brazilian women are known. Through the Brazil collection, with shades drenched in color and charged with shine, women can express themselves, showing off their sexy, mysterious, fun and exciting natures.

 “On spring runways, models were seen wearing lots of black and white, with bold accents of orange and yellow and muted elements of taupe and clay,” continues Weiss-Fischmann. “Brazil by OPI provides vivid hues to add a pop of color to a neutral-toned wardrobe, as well as earthy tones that easily transition from day to night.”
