 ..followed by a much cuter dolphin konading.

I spotted that some of the GOSH polishes were on sale, and had to buy two; Gypsy Blue and Sweet Rose. 

Gypsy Blue applied beautifully and coverage was great, I used two coats to make the shade a bit deeper.

I know I havent mentioned base coat in any of my posts but I do use one! :) 
I use OPI's Nail Envy - Dry and Brittle, in case you're interested.

I wanted to use some of the Bundle Monster plates and this is the result. I'm not really sure if I like it or not.. 



Do you have tendency of smudging your images when you apply the top coat? I have heard that the Konad Top Coat prevents this, but since I don't have it, I found another solution to the problem: Models Own's 3 in 1 Base Coat/Top Coat and Gloss! This hardly ever smudges my images, and it's cheap too.

I haven't used CG:s Re-Fresh Mint for a long time (or so it seems) and thought I would do a simple mani with it. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it, so I just slapped on some diagonal manis and pearls to accent nails. 

My thumb has that design too it just doesn't show on the picture.. Yeah, I'm such a great nail blogger.. *sarcastic voice*

I wanted to something girly and sweet, so I decided to do a pastel skittle. I really like how this turned out and I was going to add some konadin to it but I was just too  lazy  busy to do them.

I wanted to test out the fimos I got recently. As a base I used a franken I made mixing a bunch of old polishes together. 


(Sorry about the messy cuticles, I was in a hurry.)

I've wanted to buy OPI's Teenage Dream and Black Shatter (or any other black crackle polish to go with it) since forever! But I'm a scrooge and always just looked at them online. Today I decided to do something similar with cheap polishes. 



This is OPI's promo pic of those two together. Just three easy steps and your nails can look like that too! Or at least something similar to it..



I started off with two coats of your basic pink polish. I used Yves Rocher's Rose Pastel which I stole from my mom.. Shh, don't tell her!



Then I layered it up with two coats of La Femme Beauty's Disco. In Finland you can get this polish from Seppälä and it costs 2.95 €



Then I took the black crackle polish and some Seche Vite to finish the look. I used Depend's Cracked Effect which costs 3.90 € at Kicks.  I think it's quite similar with OPI's promo pic. I love it! 
It's pink, it's glittery, and crackled.. 
What's not to like? 

And the best part is that I only spent 6.85 € on it! In Finland normal OPI polishes cost 16.20 € and I think the shatter ones cost about the same amount. So I basically saved 25,55 €! 

Okay, I could have ordered them online for less but still :)

PS. I saw that Kicks now sells Seche Vite too! I think it was about 12 € per bottle so I'm still gonna order mine online.

Nothing much to say about this polish, coverage was okay and it applied easily. This was part of the Rimmel's Fruity Scent line. The smell didn't remind me of cranberries and it was fortunately quite faint. Fun summer color! :)

I love summer! But I hate all the bugs flying aroung and trying to bite you, although I think ladybugs are really cute. So I re-did these ladybug nails, and now they are way cuter in my opinion. :)

I really, really loved this color! Too bad I only had a minisized bottle and I used almost all of it in one manicure :< 

I think this shade also compliments my skintone nicely. Little bottle didn't even have the shade's name in it, so if you know what shade it is I would appreciate it! Or if you know similar color from another brand, please please tell me! :)
