Fireworks

Happy New Year!!!

I hope you've all had a nice Christmas and New Year celebration, if you are celebrating. I've had two nice weeks on Gran Canaria, and I'm now back to snow and -11°C. I had planned to start the year with these fireworks nails, so here they are. The base is Viva la Diva: #160 Fireworks. For the stamped fireworks, I used Bundle Monster: BM-H14 and Konad: SP Psyche Pink. These photos are taken before I broke one nail on the left hand and one on the right...

I hope I'll be able to write more blog posts in 2014. In January, I think I'll participate in two challenges, so I'll probably have to prioritize them, and show you other things in February, like the Ciaté calendar I got, and the nail polish I bought abroad.

The GOT Polish Challenge is one of the challenges that I'm thinking about doing in 2014, because I can use my old and vintage nail polish. The other new challenge I want to try to participate in, is Nails Magazine's 31 Days of Nail Art Challenge, although it actually started in January 2014, and I first heard about it a week ago... But we are allowed to use pictures of old manis, so I guess it's still doable. So now I feel that I have too much to do... Lol.

What are your thoughts and nail polish plans for 2014?

Viva la Diva: #160 Fireworks

Hello everyone!

Viva la Diva: #160 Fireworks consists of big and small hexagonal dark pink glitter in a thin blue base. Because each layer makes some of the glitter look purple, it ends up looking like a glitter sandwich, as you see above. I used 3 coats here. I also tried one coat over white on one nail, and liked it very much, but I don't have photos of that. Over white, the base looked blurple.

"Fireworks" is from the new 2013 fall collection called "Stairway to heaven". There are 8 glitters and 1 top coat in the collection, but I only bought this one. (I'm supposed to be on a no- buy.) The bottle size is 9 ml.

Viva la Diva is a Swedish brand. It's 3- free. I have no information about animal testing, but this bottle is made in France, so I hope it was made after the EU animal testing ban.
