pretty pink glitters!

Hello girls!

Today I have another glitter manicure for you! I'ts a very feminine and glamourous look.
the nailpolishes I used are: "Doll house"from China glaze, and "Just married" from Catrice.
 "Just married" is a very light pink colour, so it is hard to get this shade to look opaque on your nails. I had to apply 3 coats of this nailpolish. It took a lot of time to dry, but it was worth it, because the colour is gorgeous. On top of the Catrice nailpolish I applied "Doll house". This is a clear nailpolish with very large hexagonal glitters in it. This nailpolish from China glaze is great to use as a topcoat. I wouldn't recommend to wear it on your nails without an opaque colour as base coat, because you would need a lottttttttttttt of layers to get "Doll house" opaque.

This is my result:




What do you think about this nail-do?

NOTD: Seventeen 266 with Essence Nail Art Twin in 02 Julia

When I was at Liza's I also painted my nails with one of her nail polishes she bought in Greece and I couldn't resist adding an accent on my ring finger. The polishes I used were Seventeen’s 266 (a neon purple with a cream finish) and Essence's Nail Art Twins in 02 Julia (a silver with multi-colour duo chrome glitter topcoat). I really like this combination of bright-in-your-face purple and silver glitter. I also just really love accent nails.
The 266 by Seventeen was opaque in just two coats, and when I was applying the Esscen glitter topcoat I thought I would hate it. It looked really thick and not a whole lot of glitter came off, but I could quite easily add a bit more glitter and it was dry sooner than I thought. Now I actually really love the polish because it doesn’t feel al rough when you touch the nail, which you sometimes have with glitter polishes and I hate that. This one actually feels quite smooth. I really love this look, at work today this little boy kept staring at my nails and told me they were pretty! So cute!

What about you, do you like accent nails?
