Nubar - Red Flame

I think this polish from Nubar is pretty old. I bought it in an amazing sale. This one is called Red Flame and I believe it is part of their Classic Collection. It's a beautiful red with an orange shimmer. It is quite sheer though. I applied two coats, but should've done three. I love trying 'less-known' polishes from well-known brands, some of them are so surprising!

Swatching my Art De Lautrec collection

So, today I decided to swatch my Art De Lautrec collection. I don't think this is a well-known brand, but they actually make pretty good prismatic glitter polishes, and also some creams and duochromes. 

























41. I first thought this was just a plain, brown cream, but it it appears to have shimmer in it. It was a bit sheer, three coats for this one. 

46. A brown shimmer with flakies which unfortunately don't really show up in the picture. Two coats.

51. So this is the duochrome I was talking about. A purple shimmer with a violet duochrome-effect. Three coats.

60. A pretty purple cream, two coats.

01B. A purple glitter I purchased second hand, glad I got it! These are three coats. 





























04B. A gorgeous black holographic polish! I love this one. Two coats. 

05B. A red holographic glitter. Two coats. 

07B. A brown holographic glitter, another stunner. 

10B. Silver holographic glitter. I applied one coat over two coats of black, because it totally doesn't offer any coverage when applied on it's own. 

13B. And last but not least: a pink linear holographic polish. The holographic effect is not very strong, but it is definitely there. Two coats. 

Red and white love nail art

During my lazy saturday night, I decided to stamp some random love designs on my nails, after I'd polished them white and red. The polishes I used are Essence - Ahoy! and Essence - Back To The 50's, both from 50 Girl's Reloaded trend edition. For stamping I used several plates: BM02, BM09, BM-202 and SdP-A14. I also used Konad's special nail polish in white and red. 

Essence - Back To The 50's

Yesterday I went shopping with a friend. The day before, I saw this red shirt which I was planning to buy, so I decided to wear a red cream. Believe it or not, but this is my only red cream.. I'm just not into reds, although I have some glitter reds (who can resist Ruby Pumps, for example), but I really don't have any red creams, except for this one. 


Back To The 50's was part of Essence's 50 Girls Reloaded trend edition, this was a trend edition that was released last summer, and it included all kind of marine-based colors. Back To The 50's is just your classic red cream, it's nothing special. I'm not really fond of the brush, I was having a difficult time with creating a neat line towards my cuticle. I applied two coats.
