Models Own - Golden Green and Copper Pot from the BeetleJuice collection

is what I currently have on my nails :) I took this pic some days ago and posted it to my instagram. It was warm and sunny that day, well we still have it warm and sunny in the days but in the afternoons it has rained and been a bit windy. Not today however. 

Well so Golden Green is a green duochrome that goes over to a golden color and Copper Pot  is just what the name refers to COPPER but also with a golden color.

I think it's really nice but I would like to do some nail art with this someday

China Glaze and Seche at H&M

Hello,

some days ago I saw on Instagram that H&M had started to sell China Glaze (!!!!) in their stores. So on Monday after work I went downtown and to H&M.... I didn't only buy nailpolish but also shampoo, conditioner and deodorant that they had on sale.

 So I bought Seche's Base coat, manly coz it's a ridge filling base coat and I been planing on buying one for my nails a long time since my thumb sometimes makes me go bonkers... 

 And I bought this China Glaze 1008 Purple Panic a neon, well I would call it PINK and not PURPLE... and it dries matte. And it's really really neon!

ps. the pictures does not capture the real color very well but trust me on that it's neon and pink!

Beetle nails

Last year when I was in Germany I bought Catrice "07 Genius In The Bottle", which is a duochrome polish in gold/green (you can read/see a picture of the bottle here)

I haven't used it until this week, why you might ask... well to be honest I don't know!!! It's absolutely gorgeous. Sure it's a bit hard to get it totally opac and not showing any strokes...but it get soooo nice when it's done.

 This picture is with flash and my Canon camera

This is without flash and my Iphone 4s.


I wanted to do like a beetles back, when they kind of open up their wings before liftoff. 


My inspiration was this:

 A female Golden Stag Beetle....

Pieces from Vero Moda stores


I went to Vero Moda in my city to see if I could find a pair of black skinny jeans.. mine are more then 10 years old and are starting to, well break is the only word to use... 

But I couldn't find any jeans that I liked...I did however stumbled across some nailpolishes since they had mid-season sale... (a lot of clothes where on sale, some accessories and then nailpolish).
I bought one of each color that was on sale, they only cost 10 kr (Swedish Crowns) each.. Which in Sweden is a damn fine bargain!!!

Essence - 04 Sugar Plum Fairy


This is what I uploaded on my Instagram like a week ago. The Happy Holidays nailpolish from essance in the color 04 Sugar Plum Fairy. My friend Constance bought it to me in Siegen, Germany (where she lived until February) which I wrote about here 

And this I took the same day I was taking it away from my nails.. As you can see I only used one part of the 2 part polish. I didn't want to use glitter this time but only the pure glossy polish.

Sunshine

...was what we had 2 weeks ago when I took this picture

I used OPI "The "it" Color" and China Glaze "Electrify" from the Hunger Games collection, sadly you can't really see all the nice glitter coz of the bright sunshine on my nails.
