Hey girls!

Onlangs ging ik naar de Action, één van mijn lievelingswinkels, en kon deze keer niet weerstaan aan de nieuwe make-up goodies in het beauty schap.

Ik kocht een aantal oogschaduws een oogpotlood en een aantal nagellakjes. Een aantal dagen geleden heb ik het lakje Diamond Sky uitgetest en de laatste dagen ben ik er helemaal verliefd op.

Diamond Sky is voor mij meer een topcoat aangezien het een doorzichtig kleurtje met glittertjes is.

Normaal gezien ben ik niet echt voor glitterachtige toestanden te vinden maar met het juiste basis lakje is het echt mooi!

Op onderstaande foto's heb ik als basislakje de Catrice The Effect Maker op. Voor de review van dit kleurtje, klik hier!

Over The Effect Maker heb ik dan een laagje Diamond Sky gedaan en ik vind het echt super mooi, vooral als de zon er op schijnt en er een heel kleurengamma te zien is in de glittertjes. Pretty, pretty!

Ook heb ik Diamond Sky eens over het Essie lakje Bahama Mama ( voor de review daarvan, klik hier!) gedaan en dit was het resultaat:
Het lakje blijft echt lang mooi. Heb het nu al 4 dagen op en is nog nergens afgebladerd of verdwenen. Ik had het niet verwacht eerlijk gezegd maar ben dus erg tevreden!

Waar kan je dit lakje kopen?

In een Action filiaal in je buurt.

Prijs?
€0,49 (!) dus echt een koopje! Een echte aanrader!

Wat vinden jullie van dit lakje?

Xoxo, Leyla

Hey girls!

Ever since the Essie brand started being sold in Kruidvat, I have had my eye on them. The only thing stopping me was the high price tag.

When you can get a decent nailpolish for €2 or €3, the Essie polishes just are a little too expensive for me, costing €11 a piece.

Now 2 weeks ago, my cousin found this great deal on Essie products on Bol.com and we decided to buy some. You could buy 3 nail polishes for €20 so that's about €6,50 per polish, which is a much better price.

My cousin chose Guchi Muchi Puchi and Lavender:

I chose Bahama Mama:

I had been looking for a purple shade of nail polish for a long time and this one looked like the color I had in mind.

The color is really pretty but even so, I'm not completely satisfied with it.
To get this color I had to apply 3 coats. Your €11 bottle will be empty fast if you always have to apply 3 coats!

Another element I was not pleased with was the coverage: the polish stays thick in some places and much lighter in other places which of course does not look nice.

The durability, on the other hand, is good. I have been wearing this polish for 4 days now and it has not started chipping yet. I did apply one coat of see trough top coat nail polish.

Even though the color is pretty and the polish stays on the nails for quite some days, I had expected more of Essie.

I keep finding gorgeous pictures on the internet of Bahama Mama covered nails, but I can't get my nails looking that gorgeous.

So would I buy another Essie polish in the future?
If it is on sale and if it is a color I really love, I might.

Have you girls bought an Essie polish yet?
What is your opinion about it?

Xoxo, Leyla

Hey girls!

When I went to Kruidvat yesterday I noticed Catrice had a bunch of new polishes at their stand and they looked gorgeous!

Catrice renewed all of their nail polishes, one a little more than the other and added a few new colors to their selection.


They state the folllowing on their website:

Thanks to the new Gloss Booster technology, the next generation of Ultimate Nail Lacquers is extremely convincing with a high-shine finish, perfect coverage and ultra-long durability. With the innovative reservoir brush, you can colour your nails with just one stroke. Free of formaldehyde, toluene or phthalates.

Tested and loved: 9 out of 10 women love* the perfect COVERAGE, ultimate SHINE and long DURABILITY.
* Consumer test with 100 women, 2013
I bought the colors 37 The Effect Maker and 36 Mint Me Up.
The polishes have a real pretty pearly shine and just look gorgeous.
I usually go for nude, pink or red colors so it was no surprise I chose The Effect Maker.

Mint Me Up, on the other hand, is a color I would not usually buy. I think the mint color is nice and I love how it looks on other girls but I'm always afraid to wear it on my nails.

But this color looked so nice with that pearly shine and little tiny glitters in it so I couldn't resist.

Take a look at the swatches.
What do you girls think?
