Deborah Lippmann: Candy Shop

Hello everybody!

Here are some nailphotos of Deborah Lippmann's Candy Shop. (And after that, some experimenting with Candy Shop, (so this is a looooong post))

Old bottles of polish: Helena Rubinstein 13 Red Magma

Hello everyone!

I am very sad to say that Helena Rubinstein is on the list of companies that do test on animals. I am very concerned about animals well being, and have stopped to buy Helena Rubinstein.

So this is not meant as advertisement. I just wanted to show you an old and beautiful nail polish.

Here is another old bottle of nail polish. I used to think that this was red glitter, but now I know better... It is actually flakies. Red, and packed with flakies. Being such a bold color, I only used to use it for Christmas.

Old bottles of polish: Christian Dior 489 Cobalt

Hello everyone!


I am very sad to say that Dior is on the list of companies that do test on animals. I am very concerned about animals well being, and have stopped to buy Dior.

So this is not meant as advertisement. I just wanted to show you an old and beautiful nail polish.


I do not know if anyone are interested in seeing the old part of my nail polish collection. Most of those bottles are probably not available any more... A few of the caps are kind of glued on, and can not be opened. But others are still OK to wear. Some of them just needed a lot of shaking, before the color looked nice again. And some were so empty and lumpy that I just tried them on a nail wheel. Anyway, I want to show you a few of my old polishes. I will start with my favorite blue:

"3 triangles"

Hello everyone!


As I have written about earlier, the blog My Awesome Beauty by Sophie is celebrating its 6 month anniversary with a nail art competition. We can chose between two of Sophie's designs; "1-2-3 arrows" or "3 triangles", use her tutorial, and make our own version.  To read more about her competition, click here, and about the prizes here.

I have made my version of  "3 triangles", with the combination of black with flakies, gold-silver and dark pink. I love the light layering, and the see- through- effect of the pink and the gold-silver. But it was not easy to photograph such a shiny manicure, so the colors, and especially the pink, look more dull than in real life.


My entry to My Awesome Beauty`s nail art contest:

Pink- pinker- pinkest

Hello everyone!


Today I want to show you a pink striped gradient manicure I made in September. This is also my entry to the Rebecca Likes Nails nail art contest.

We could use one or more of these nail art techniques or themes; gradients, animal print, bows, dots, and Hello Kitty. And submit in the same way as in the Chalkboard Nails contest. To read more about Rebeccas contest, the rules, see the other entries, or join the contest, click here. There is still time to participate! You must submit before 11:59pm, March 26th, 2012.

First some nailphotos, and then I will tell you which pinks I used. And let us hope Rebecca (and the judges) likes my nails. :-)

5-pack minis from H&M. Part III: Bronze + Nfu- Oh 59

Hello everyone!



I had to update the article because when it comes to Nfu- Oh, I have not been able to get information about animal testing. I have seen that other bloggers have Nfu- Oh on the "not tested on animals"- list, but I have not managed to get that confirmed. So at the moment it is difficult for me to buy nail polish from this company.
