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?

Cirque nail polish, my new nail polish love

If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen my TiNS and Cirque nail polish haul from a few months ago. I've been seeing Cirque nail polishes around for quite some time now and I've been really impressed by the unique sparkly colours.

After trying to narrow down my wishlist as much as possible I placed an order with Mei Mei's signatures and waited anxiously for my nail polishes to arrive. When I opened my package I wasn't disappointed! All 4 colours were fabulous. I have chosen Galinda, a beautiful white glitter, Vaudeville, a lilac nail polish full of iridescent glitter, Hellebore a green glitter with a touch of pink and Fascination Street, a fabulous dark blue holographic nail polish.

In the course of the last couple of months I tried all 4 colours so I am ready to show them to you ^_^

As I have a thing for purple, of course I had to start with Vaudeville which turned out to be my favourite of the bunch.

You can see how it looks under different lighting. From top to bottom there's direct sunlight, artificial light and shade. I wore two coats over top coat and of course used a coat of Seche Vite on top.

A few days later the colour was still intact and I decided to layer Hellebore over it.

I loved the combination of the two colours! Unfortunately the weather was cloudy so I didn't manage to take a decent photo.

Here is Fascination Street. Blue is not a colour I am overly fond of on my nails but when it is combined with a holographic effect, I am sold!

Finally a few days ago white wearing a black nail polish I decided to go for glitter tips, using Galinda.

What do you think of this combination dear readers? Do you own any Cirque nail colours? Which one is your favourite?

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 Dragon goes to Hong Kong

Hello everyone ^_^/

As I mentioned in my previous post, in early September I went on a very exciting trip to one of my favourite locations in the world, Hong Kong. While packing my suitcase I was trying to decide what to do with my nails and since this was a business trip I decided to wear something that would bring me luck.

My nail polish of choice was Dragon from a england, a fabulous holographic green nail polish from the Legend collection.

Dragon is a symbol of luck and prosperity in Hong Kong and I can say it brought me luck too ^_^

I used two layers of dragon and then decided to add some nail stickers to add a dragon scale look to some of my nails. Topped everything with Seche Vite topcoat and my nails looked awesome for the whole trip.

Although my schedule was quite tight I managed to go around and see a bit of the city (and catch up with friends who live there).

Hong Kong is a beautiful vibrant city and there is so much to see and do. I had some time to make a brief visit to Disneyland and also admire the 100 Doraemons outside of Harbour City.

Of course I took some snaps of the food to share with you all.

I did a bit of shopping too but I will make another post with my Hong Kong haul and my favourite places to shop there.

Have you ever been to Hong Kong dear readers? What is your favourite travelling destination?

Holographic ice cream nails with NfuOh Jelly Syrup

Hello everyone ^_^/

let me present to you my latest addiction, the NfuOh Jelly Syrup series. These nail polishes are made specifically for layering and can be used to achieve fabulous nail looks.

For example, look at these holographic ice cream nails that I've been wearing last week.

I started two coats of NfuOh #61, a holographic silver, over the infamous aqua base. As you can see, application was perfect.

Then using NfuOh JS16 from the Jelly Syrup series I made this drip effect that made my nails look like cyber ice creams.

I finished the look with a layer of Anna Sui top coat and my nails went chip free for a week ^_^

Holographic roses nails with Ozotic Pro 509

Hello everyone ^_^/

just a quick post for me today, sharing a holographic manicure from my vault, using Ozotic Pro #509.
I don't remember exactly when I did these nails but I cannot believe it took me so long to post them.

It all started as I was painting my nails with the lovely Borghese Bellissima Rose that I got from my dearest 'Chelle. The colour was very pretty and bright after two layers but I started wondering what I could to to spice it up a bit.

Of course with me, holo is always the way to go, so I took out Ozotic Pro 509 from my untrieds stash and decided to give it a go. So I applied a coat over Bellissima Rose and omg I was amazed.

I thought that Ozotic Pro 509 was a silver holo nail polish but it's more like a holographic top coat, transforming every nail polish into holographic goodness (and with just one coat)!

To finish this look off I decided to add some 3D roses as well ^_^

How do you like this mani dear readers? With the help of Seche Vite top coat, I had it on for a week ^_^

Estessimo TiNS haul, magical bottles full of glitter

Hello everyone ^_^

Today I want to share with you one of my most favourite nail polish brands. In my opinion, it's maybe the best right next to Anna Sui. Years ago when most brands just had red, pink and sheer colours, this brand was showering nail art enthusiasts with glitter. It's none other than Estessimo TiNS, a Japanese nail polish brand. I first found out about it, while reading Japanese magazines and every time I was in Japan I would pick up a bottle or two.

But I was always looking for a place to buy them online that would ship internationally. Recently my wish was granted as I came across Mei Mei's Signatures. In the last couple of months I placed a few orders, trying to collect my Estessimo TiNS lemmings (that have been piling up over the years XD)

And here they are

On the top row, from left to right we have: the Happy Milk , the Dreamy Magic, Vanessa's Horoscope, the Amethyst, the Perfect Prince and the Saturn.
On the bottom row, from left to right we have: the Pink Sapphire, the Juicy Banana, the Sacred Shine, the Alluring Aquamarine, the Precious Diamond, Macaron Framboises and the Stunning Rock Star. Let me mention that most of these are glitters apart from  the Alluring Aquamarine, the Precious Diamond and the Stunning Rock Star that are holographics.

Of course since I got them, I have been wearing them non stop, so here are some recent manicures with these beauties.

 On the top left I am wearing Estessimo TiNS the Mars, a sparkly red glitter that I had bough back in Japan.
In the top left and in the middle photos I am wearing Estessimo TiNS Vanessa's Horoscope, stamped with white Konad nail polish using the FUN2 image plate that I recently got from Fab Ur Nails.
And on the bottom row, you can see my current mani, Estessimo TiNS the Pink Sapphire. The photos don't do these beauties justice as they are fabulous when you see them up close but I did my best ^_^

How do you like this brand dear readers? Do you own any of these nail polishes? Would you like to see the rest of my TiNS stash? Or is there any specific colour that you would like to see in detail?

p.s. as always, you can click on the photos for bigger versions ^_^

Ludurana Supremo, covered with stars

Hello everyone ^_^/

As you might know, I adore holographic nail polishes. And it's been quite some time since I showed you one, so for today, here is Ludurana Supremo, a fantastic lilac holographic nail polish.

I am always on the lookout for new holo shades so as soon as I saw the Ludurana Aurora Boreal series I knew I wanted to try one of the colours. I settled for Supremo as I didn't have a lilac holo in my collection. I applied two coats of the NfuOh Aqua base, which works wonders for holographic nail polishes.

I recently got the new Konad image plates, M84 and M85 from my friend 'Chelle so I wanted to try them out. I decided to use the stars designs as they were super cute. For stamping I used Color Club's Where's the Soiree, a black nail polish that turned out to be perfect for stamping. I carefully sealed everything with Seche Vite and this is the final result.

Do you like this combination? Or do you think stamping reduces the beauty of the nail polish underneath?

HITS No Olimpo Hera

Hello everyone ^_^/

It is almost the weekend so it is a good time for something glamorous. Nothing fits the bill better that the HITS no Olimpo series. As soon as I saw swatches of these gorgeous holographic nail polishes I knew I wanted to get my hands on some of them. An added plus is the Ancient Greek theme.

Today I will show you HITS No Olimpo Hera, a beautiful teal holographic nail polish.

I wore two coats of Hera, over NfuOh's aqua base (my base coat of choice when it comes to wearing holos), sealed with a coat of Seche Vite top coat. It went chip free for 7 days. Below you can see how the colour looks in the daytime. The holo effectt is visible even in the shade.

I tried to capture the effect as best I could as winter is not the best time to photograph nail polishes. Still as you can see the holo is definitely eye catching.

As a holo lover I have to say, this nail polish is fabulous! If you love holographic nail polishes as much as I do, you should definitely try this brand ^_^

New Glitter Gal holographic colours

Hello everyone ^_^/

I have been absent from the blog for a while as I went on a much needed vacation.

But I haven't been neglecting my nails. Quite the contrary!
Since I went to the sea, I decided to try out the new Glitter Gal holographic colours that my dear 'Chelle sent me. The weather was really good and sunny so it was perfect for trying them out and snapping some photos.

So without further ado I present to you Glitter Gal's Light As a Feather and Lizard Belly (as seen from left to right on the above photo).

I am always impressed by Glitter Gal's fantastic nail polishes as they are always top quality and these two didn't disappoint me at all. I applied 3 layers and a coat of Seche Vite on top.

I couldn't stop staring at my nails. Under direct sunlight they sparkled and I could see the holo effect in all it's greatness.

Here is a bonus shot under artificial light, holding my favourite Kuromi water bottle which is holographic too ^_^

What do you think of these, dear readers? Have you tried this brand before?
If you are a holo freak like me, I suggest you give Glitter Gal a go. You won't be disappointed.
