Purple nails for Christmas, OPI and China Glaze

Every year on Christmas eve I have to decide how to do my nails for Christmas. This year I decided to choose my favourite colour, purple!

First I painted my nails with two coats of OPI Vant to Bite my Neck, a purple creme from the recent OPI Euro Centrale collection (oh how I love both the colour and the name of this nail polish).

I could have left it like this, as the colour is fabulous and totally opaque in two coats but I wanted to add a touch of sparkle, so I reached for Put a Bow on it, a magenta glitter by China Glaze from the Chrismas 2013 Happi Holiglaze collection.

And voilà, my nails are ready for tonight's festivities ^_^

Do you like these colours dear readers? If you wish to get them you can find them along with a huge selection of nail colours at Beyond Polish, a webstore that specializes in nail products.

Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you have a great time today and tomorrow with your loved ones!

These nail polishes were provided to me for consideration by Beyond Polish but this did not influence my review in any way. This review expresses my honest opinion. If you would like to buy this nail polish or more you can visit http://www.beyondpolish.com/

Trick or treat, nails and candy for Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!

One of my favourite times of the year is finally here so of course I had to make a post, no matter how busy I am. Because of the day this will be a post full of sweets and also sparkly spooky nails!

Trick or treat!

Let's start with my nails of the day! Every year I look forward to what China Glaze will have to offer for Halloween and once again I wasn't disappointed. So my mani for the day is from the Monsters Ball collection. I painted all my nails with Bump in the Night, a black textured polish and then for some extra sparkle I applied a coat of Boo-gie Down, a mix of black white and orange glitter. I am very pleased with this combo. It even matches my outfit of the day ^_^

But no Halloween is complete without some treats so for this day I was prepared as I decided a while ago I wanted to get some of my favourite Japanese sweets. So I did a Japanese snacks haul from Oyatsu cafe, a Japanese candy online store.

And here is what I got!
First my favourite Ghana chocolate, which I hadn't eaten for so long!!!

I also got a mix of flavours of Hi-Chew candy as both me and my darling love this.

Kanjani8 did an ad for Hi-Chew at some point too XD

We also got some Jagariko potato sticks, all three flavours that are available. Om nom nom!

And since this is a Halloween post I will close with the most fitting song for the occasion!

I hope you are all having a fun day!
p.s. all the products in this post have been purchased by me.

My recent manis, glitter and holographic nails

Since my posting has become quite sporadic lately I realised I haven't posted my manicures for quite some time. So here are some of my favourite manis of the last few months. Most of them are holographic or glitter nails as expected ^_^

More pictures and details under the cut.

Starting with my nails of last week I am wearing Australis Speck-tacular (a beautiful flakie that I got from my dear 'Chelle) over black.

Blue glitter nails using Revlon Radiant and Sally Hansen Showgirl Chic (got these as Christmas gifts from Smugnificent and Moni)

China Glaze is one of my favourite nail polish brands. Here I am wearing Razzle me Dazzle me over black.

A few weeks ago I took part in a spring bazaar (post about this coming soon) so I did rose themed nail art to match the occasion. My base is China Glaze Watermelon Rind and I also used Glitter Effect in pink by Erre Due.

Holographic nails using Estessimo TiNS Bon Bon Savon and Seductive Amethyst.

Holographic skittle nails using HITS no Olimpo nail polishes.

And last but not least, cupcake themed nails using Nails Inc sprinkles special effects in Topping Lane (pink) and Pudding Lane (blue).

Do you own any of these dear readers? What are you wearing on your nails as we speak?

Layla Hologram Effect nail polish in Cloudy Violet and Emerald Divine

Hello everyone ^_^

it's been a while since I've last showed you a holographic nail polish around here but this is about to change. Recently I got my hands on a couple of Layla Hologram Effect nail polishes as I wanted to try them. The colours I chose were Cloudy Violet and Emerald Divine.

Before I continue, I would like to let you know that I have a Facebook only giveaway running, to celebrate my Facebook page 1000 likes milestone. Just go to Cel's Deconails facebook page to see how you can take part.

Back to the subject of nail polish, as I couldn't choose between the two, I decided to paint my nails with Cloudy Violet and use Emerald Divine as an accent colour on my ring finger. I used the NfuOh aqua base, applied two coats of the hologram effect nail polish on top and sealed everything with China Glaze Fast Forward top coat.

As you can see both colours look fabulous and Fast Forward didn't dull the holographic effect at all.

All photos are taken inside under artificial light. I wish I had some photos under direct sunlight to show you but the weather has been cloudy lately so I didn't get a chance to snap any.

What do you think of this combination dear readers? Do you own any Layla hologram effect nail polishes? Which colour would you recommend I should add to my collection? Let me know in the comments ^_^

The options are limitless and the color palette available in the collection is quite vast. The colors chosen for the Tranzitions collection are fabulous and in perfect sync with the fall/winter trends, so check out these oh-so-hot nail lacquers and start polishing your digits to perfection:

Music and glitters, all in one post!

Hello everyone ^_^

Tonight's post is full of two of my favourite things, glitter and music!!! How do these two combine? They don't! But still here they are. Let's start with the glitters, which as you can imagine, are on my nails. I just got the new China Glaze Prismatic Chroma Glitters and of course I had to wear them asap!

 I used Snazzle by Ulta3 as a base and then on my index and ring finger I am wearing Full Spectrum and on my thumb (that you cannot see here XD), middle and pinky finger I am wearing Prism. Full Spectrum is pink and Prism is purple so they work really well together. I loved all the colours from the collection but these two were my favourites. I used two coats of each over the silver nail polish and then some top coat. I am loving them on my nails, they really come alive especially under sunlight.

Next time I think I will try them over pink and purple creme nail polishes. I bet they're gonna look fab ^_^

And now for the musical part of this post. Quite some time ago I was given the I love Music and I love your Blog award by the lovely Tina of All the Vanity. Thank you Tina and I am sorry that I was so late in posting this.

So I now have to list my 5 favourite songs. Which is no easy task, as I am a huge music fan. But after much thinking here are the 5 most important songs to me. I won't tag anyone with this but if you want to do it, I would love to see what your 5 favourite songs are. Here I go with my list.

#1 is Wasted Years by Iron Maiden. This was the first song I was ever hooked to, when I was just a little girl. It shaped my future taste in music quite a bit.

#2 Enchantment by Paradise Lost. Paradise Lost are one of my favourite bands up to this day and this is one of the most beautiful songs they have ever written.

#3 Spirit by Dead Can Dance. I love their music more than words can say. Such gifted artists they are and I can't wait to see them live again in September ^_^

#4 Vanilla by Gackt. This was a really hard choice. I adore Gackt and he is such a gifted and multidimensional artist. I decided to show you his fun and quirky side (okay and his sexy abs too, can you blame me?).

#5 Osaka Romanesque by Kanjani8. All my friends know how much I adore Kanjani8. A sworn Eighter I am and proud of it too. Osaka Romanesque is the song that brings tears to my eyes every time. Which is why I wanted to share it with you all and close this post with it too. Thank you for reading this far :)

It's Christmas time!!!

Hello everyone ^_^/

I will start this post by wishing everyone a merry merry Christmas! Best wishes for you and your families!
I hope you are all enjoying this day with your loved ones ^_^

And here is my Christmas mani for this year. As it is snowing I wanted it to be snow themed.

I used some of the China Glaze Let it Snow collection as I found it to be appropriate.

My base was Blue Year's Eve. Then on some nails I sponged Icicle and on some I used Snow Globe. Finally I used some snow themed nail decals and my mani was ready ^_^

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone and make sure you have lots of fun <3

Nails, nails and more nails + a cool deal

Hello everyone ^_^/

Wow, it's been almost two weeks since my last post but I have a good excuse. I am working for something very exciting. I cannot reveal what it is yet but soon, very soon, I will ^_^

In the meantime, here are the nails I've been sporting for these last couple of weeks.

First I wore my favourite colour from the Color Club Molten Metals collection, Lumin-Icent. It's a lovely light blue metallic colour which is perfect for this time of year. Perfect coverage in two coats is definitely a plus ^_^

After a couple of days of crafting non stop there was some minor chipping. But I loved the colour so much that I decided a glitter gradation mani would be the best solution. I used Color Club Sugarplum Fairy and Jingle Jangle from the Beyond the Mistletoe collection and voila! My mani was saved!

Don't you just love gradation nails? It's one of my favourite looks as it's easy to make and always looks glamorous!

Next up I went for my favourite colour, purple! Here is Etude House LUCIDarling in Purple Satin. I had to use three coats for this one to get perfect coverage.

And last but not least, here is the colour I have on right now. China Glaze Marry a Millionaire from the Eye Candy 3D glitter collection. I was so excited when I first heard about these that I just had to get them asap! And I definitely wasn't disappointed! It was really hard choosing which colour to try first but I just had to go with the purple one in the end XD

The photo just doesn't do this beauty justice. This is one of the most interesting glitters I have ever owned. Purple mini bar glitter with a mix of green and silver. Absolutely fantastic!!!

Before I close this post I would like to inform you about a great deal that is on right now at over at Viva La Nails. There is a Black Friday 25% off deal running. Just enter code BLACK during check out to get 25% off your order.

I certainly won't be passing this one up!

Easy nails for Halloween

Hello everyone ^_^/

I have been meaning to make this post earlier in the week but I couldn't find the time, but finally here it is ^_^
I want to show you a couple of very simple Halloween manis, perfect for those who don't have enough time, like me.

The first one is a black and orange polka dot manicure. Very easy to achieve with a dotting tool or a toothpick.

I reversed the colours for an accent finger, to make this a little more fun. I used the orange Claire's nail polish I got from Moni and Sally Hansen's Black Out.

Even though it is a simple manicure, it is quite fun.

For the second one I wanted to use some of the fabulous Halloween polishes from China Glaze. So I started with two coats of It's Alive, a fantastic green glitter.

Then on some nails I drew stitches with black nail polish and on some nails I applied China Glaze Black Mesh. And here is the final result.

What do you think about these? Do you paint your nails in seasonal themes or just go with whatever you like?
I hope I can find time to do a more full on Halloween mani, as I have many ideas in my head. Let's see how that works out XD

For the time being don't forget to enter my running giveaway for a chance to win two Seventeen nail polishes.

China Glaze Grape Crush

Hello everyone ^_^/

today I am very excited as I have something extraordinary to show you.
My biggest lemming that has finally been fulfilled thanks to a very kind person on ebay <3
And it is none other than China Glaze Grape Crush.

I fell in love with this purple polish which is full of holographic glitter, ever since I first saw some swatches online.Unfortunately it was impossible to locate until a few weeks ago I saw someone selling it on ebay for a very reasonable price. You can imagine how excited I was!

So I just had to take it with me on my vacation to wear it on the beach and enjoy it in it's full glory! I applied two coas and on my ring finger I added a layer of China Glaze Platinum Pieces to add a little variety. Sealled everything with Seche Vite and I was good to go.

It was really worth all the searching and waiting, as this is definitely one of the most impressive nail polishes in my collection. It's purple and full of holographic glitter. What more can I ask for, really!

I was amazed by how this looked inside the water. So bright and sparkly! I tried to capture a pic without dropping my phone in the sea but I think I failed. Still, here it is!

Do you own this colour? What do you think about it?

China Glaze Anchor's Away collection

Hello everyone ^_^/

Back in January I was one of the 3 lucky surprise winners of  Canadian Nail Fanatic's 100 followers giveaway.
I was very excited about it! And the prize was 4 polishes of the China Glaze Anchor's Away collection and a pack of nail art rhinestones!

From left to right we have Life Preserver, First Mate, Ahoy! and White Cap.

The first couple I decided to try were Life Preserver and First Mate as I think the two colours go really well together.

I applied two coats of each colour over base coat.
I really like how they look together on my nails.

For an extra oomph to this mani I added a coat of China Glaze Fault Line, a purple crackle from their Crackle Glaze line.

It looked fantastic over Life Preserver but it was a bit dark for First Mate I guess.
Still I liked it.

What do you think of this combination?

Orly Velvet Rope manicure and ring

Hello everyone ^_^/

while you are reading this, I will be strolling around beautiful Vienna with my darling.
But I queued up a couple of posts so my blog won't be left behind while I travel.

For this post I have chosen to show you a manicure I did a while ago, that goes well with the day I think.
For the base I used two coats of Orly Velvet Rope, one of my favourite purple nail polishes.
Then on the ring finger I put silver spangles and on the index fingers I stamped some flowers using China Glaze Millenuim. Sealed everything with a coat of Seche and the my nails were ready!

I loved how the combination turned out, so I decided to make a matching ring as well.
For those who are interested, I will post a tutorial on how I made this at a later time.
It was very easy and fun ^_^

Ahoy! Hello Kitty

Hello everyone ^_^/

how are you all today? I am really excited as I have a 3 day weekend ahead of me and to be honest I really need it. I feel exhausted for some reason!

Today I have a really fun manicure to share with you. I did this for my friend T. who wanted a playful spring mani. So we decided to combine Ahoy! from the China Glaze Anchor's Away collection, with Hello Kitty full nail decals. It turned out to be a really fun combination as the nail decals complimented the lovely pink colour of Ahoy! perfectly!

When I first saw the Anchor's Away collection I wasn't sure about this colour but I ended up liking it a lot! It's a very pretty spring colour! For this mani I used 2 coats of Ahoy! and a coat of Seche on top.
What do you think of this combination? Do you like it?
