NOTD // Barry M – Grey no 293 + Depend nyheder!

16 kommentarer

One of the new Barry M’s I got home last week. Just a plain and simple grey color. But I really like it. It’s easy to put on and I only used 1½ coats on these pictures. Its a bit more dark on the nails that it is in the bottle.

And then some (new/old)news for the Scandinavians, well mostly Danes. I just received this picture today with the autumn/winter 09 collection and I can see I already have some favorites. I think the collection have been out for some time now, but only recently came to DK, so you should be able to find them in Matas, that is the only one in DK selling them. I will definitely have to go out and get some of these, that’s for sure 🙂

NOTD / Zoya – Envy

11 kommentarer

This is one of my new Zoyas.. you know those where one of them broke.. :p hence the pinkish stuff on the bottle 🙂 I love this green its so dark and fall like.. So perfect! As always the application with this Zoya is as delightful as with any other Zoya.. really a high end brand 🙂 I can only recommend it.

I read on nailmail.se today that she had received the OPI’s so in a couple of days, maybe Monday or Tuesday next week im getting my shipment of some of the new collections 🙂 So any time now Anne 😉 oh and i shopped on barrym.. i had to.. they had 20% discount code… argh

My boyfriend went to Tivoli(danish amusement park, which have a halloween theme atm) last night and won a bunch of stuffed animals for me.. yay… ^^ a fake donkey from winnie the pooh. A cow with a strutting utter.. a sleeping zebra, a clownfish and ofc. a I love you heart… how corny is that? 😛 lol

Then & Now… a different NOTD

6 kommentarer

I saw a similar post on another nail blog some time ago, I’m sorry I cant remember which. And that made me look at some old photos from when I started blogging until today. And I must say i have improved my polishing skills.. quite a bit 😉 I can now make a fresh mani that is not all over my cuticles in about 5-10 minutes.. As to before it took me(If it were to be just a bit nice) about half to a full hour(maybe sometimes even more :o).

So lets see one of the first on the blog

This is if I have to say myself.. awful when i look at it now.. To much of my hand on the picture and polish all over the place.
Although I have never been that bad at putting it on I have never been anywhere near what I see on Scrangie, Vampy Varnish and all the other “pro nailers” out there. Have to be honest I couldn’t even figure out how they could make the manis so nice. Buuut somehow as I’m getting better at putting on polish it stays inside the lines.. so to speak 😉 I also used that trick of putting nailoil around the edges but it didn’t really work for me. So I just got a steadier hand which is nice now 😉

This I did yesterday in about 7-8 mins. (not counting the drying time ofc.)
Barry M – Limited Edition Pink (don’t really have a name I think)

So to conclude.. i guess practice makes perfect or at least better…. 😛
I would love to see some of starter pictures of the nailblogs out there.. Would be fun ;D

Other “fun” facts:

This was my nailcollection in march 2009
Not much there ^^

And this is all my polishes today September 2009
I made a little circle with my Barry M’s 😀 And i guess its not so hard to guess which color is my favorite 😉

And this is where i store them

The small polkadot bag can hold exactly 12 Barry M’s so i usually take that with me if im going somewhere for a longer period.
I know its not the worlds largest collection, but its so hard to find the good brands in Denmark, have to order them home from US and it can be so damn expensive. So i get my more expensive brands through Nailmail.se(this is such a great concept btw, subscription to nailpolish, sent in the mail to you.. whats not to love? :D).

I was a nail biter until very recently. 😮 ye I know shocking aint it? 😛 but somehow when I got more in to polish I just stopped.. have no idea how, guess having some pretty nails was more appealing to me then flossy short nails.

I cut my nail when I think they get to long. I don’t like too long nails… not on me at least.. maybe because I have so chubby fingers.. haha ;D

And I think thats enough with the facts 😛

Hope you all have a great weekend!

NOTD – Barry M – 302 / Fuchsia + bonus topcoat

6 kommentarer

This is a wonderful creamy color, a lot of Barry M is creamy. Makes it even better for me, since i love those 😛

I have lately begun to put on a topcoat from WetNWild, that i dont think is designed as a topcoat. But just as a polish for it self, but it is SUPER good as top coat cause it makes the polish super hard. I think that’s why it has the name Rock Solid ;D They write on the back of the polish: Infused with micro fine diamond flecks for rock solid strength and platinum performance.
I also bought Pink Sapphire from WetNWild and it works great for a french manicure since even with a couple of coats you can see your nail line through 🙂

So guess this is the reason for its tuffness 😛
This one is called Sparkling Diamonds

One layer 🙂
And a closeup, one layer 🙂 gorgeous… i mean who doesn’t love a little sparkle? 😀

Have a wonderful sunday 🙂

This color is so nice and creamy.. its as the name indicates a amazing flamingo colored pink… And its really nice that it has a some what coral color over it to and as you can see depending on the light its in a good range from pinkish to orange. This is one my new from Barry M and i love it so much already. Would have wished that i had this before the summer started cause this is so summerly and fresh 🙂

I thought about doing my NOTD posts on english, since ive gotten alot of foreign readers. Mostly so all would get the same out of it 😉 let me know how what you think about 🙂
