Holo + glitter = yet another Christmas manicure

Hello everyone!

It's almost time for Christmas, yay!!! So I'm taking a small break from the mountains of housework I have to do to share yet another Holiday manicure.

This one is quite simple. Basically I wanted to use a holographic polish in the mix . So I chose China Glaze He's Going in Circles from the Kaleidoscope collection.

Then for the rest of the fingers I used China Glaze Frosty.

Sponged BB Couture Bonnie for a green gradient effect and then a coat of China Glaze Party Hearty. Topped everything with Seche and I was done,

I hope you liked this manicure ^_^
Now I need to go back to what I was doing eeeeeek!!!

China Glaze new collections!

Okay I usually don't write about such things as many other blogs cover the news but right now I am so so so so so excited!!!!

China Glaze is coming out with more holographic nail polishes in the spring. The series will be limited and will be available at Sally's beauty Supply. Now you know my feelings about China Glaze holo polishes, I absolutely adore them so there are fabulous news!!! I am not sure how I will get this collection but I will def hunt it down somehow.

And let's not forget the crackle polishes that will be coming out on February.

All information and images are taking from the China Glaze facebook page.

On a sidenote I made a few changes on my blog, I put the giveaways on a page that you can access at the top of  my blog and also added a Swap page.
And I also joined tumblr. If you want check out my page, Cel's sparkly world. It's quite random but I'm having a lot of fun with it. If you have a page too let me know, I would love to check it out and follow you ^_^

A black manicure with lots of sparkle

Hello everyone ^_^/

how are you today?
Just a few days now left for Christmas, weeeeee I'm so excited.
Today I will share a black manicure with a twist. I was inspired to do this by various nail art designs that I saw on Japanese nail magazines. It can be worn for the festive season too.

Here is what you will need for this manicure.

Essence Fatal
BB Couture Spellbound (from my awesome Overall Beauty haul that I will be posting about soon)
Zoya Nova
silver spangles in various sizes
Seche Vite top coat

I painted all the fingers except one on each hand black. Then the two accent fingers that I chose were painted with Spellbound and then Nova. Added the spangles on the black nails forming various lines, topped with Seche and done.

I was so happy with this one that I didn't want to take it off. And as you can see when the light hits it, it's a really sparkly and eye catching manicure! I think I might be doing something similar for New Year's, but with different colours ^_^

the Greek files #4

Hello everyone ^_^/

almost a month has passed since my last Greek Files post so here is another one.

Today I will present to you some nail polishes from Deborah. This brand is not Greek but it is readily available in many beauty stores here and has a fabulous colour selection. Judging from the bottles I would say the brand is Italian but I could be wrong.

So here are my three favourite colours from them.

18 a lovely dark pink with gold shimmer

19 an intense black with multicoloured glitter

36 a deep purple/green duochrome of sorts with silver shimmer

Below you can see them on my nails. Each colour is two coats without base or top coat.

I think 17 could use a third coat as I can still see the nail line but they other colours look great with just two coats. 36 looks like a duocrhome in the bottle but the effect is not that visible when worn. Out of the three I think my favourite is the black, such a fabulous colour!

What do you think of this brand? Have you heard of it before?

A glittery Christmas manicure with TiNS and Anna Sui

Hello everyone ^_^/

With just 11 days left for Christmas, here is another Christmas manicure.
To be honest I did this quite some time ago but as it turned out too Christmasy I was saving it for the holiday season.

This look is quite easy to make and I actually got a lot of compliments on it when I had it on.
Here is what I used.

Anna Sui 318, a lovely pink shimmery polish.
TiNS the Holiday Cheer, a fabulous green glitter polish
Anna Sui base and top coat
Natural look Gel top coat
Rhinestones by Viva La Nails

After applying base coat and two coats of each colour on different fingers, I made diagonal stripes with the TiNS polish and using top coat and the rhinestones I made flowers on the other fingers. I used just the glitter polish on my thumb and didn't put anything else on that nail as the colour is quite spectacular on it's own.
I sealed everything with a layer of natural look Gel top coat and voilà!
