Valentine's Day Challenge - Love & Kisses

Hello my lovelies!

This one comes a bit late, but I just didn't had the time to do my nails and post them. I am still at my boyfriend's place and I have no space for myself to do nails and pictures and I don't have the usual lightning that I have at home :P And to top it all, I had to file down my nails because I broke 2 of them .. aargh how I hate that! ^^

So, I hope I'll be able to do the rest of the 31 Day Challenge nails ^^

But for today, here is the love and kisses mani:

I used Catrice - I'm so aNude, P2 - Fever for the stamping and topped it off with Essence - Matt about you!

I really need to practice stamping a little bit more - the placement etc. 

I still hope you like it! Thanks for reading and see ya soon! :)

Valentines's Day Challenge - Red Passion

Hello my lovelies!

I don't even wanna post this look today... but I have to! First I wanted to do some beautiful nails (already had some mani in mind I wanted to recreate), but there was no time and no place to do it here..
No problem so far, I still can do some make-up right?
Well, I am at my boyfriend's place and the light here is just extremely bad. I basically could have done the make-up in the dark..maybe it would have turned out better then ^^

But let's talk about the make-up! Obviously I had to use some red and since the challenge is "Red Passion" I knew there had to be some smokey eye going on there as well!

Products I used:
- P2 Perfect Eyes Base

- P2 Perfect Look Lip Liner 141 Volcano  

- BH Cosmetics 120 Color Palette (red)

- Sleek Ultra Mattes V2 (Colors: Maple + Dune + Pillow Talk)

- Catrice Absolute Matt Palette

- W7 - In the Buff (Sand)

- Maybelline Gel Eyeliner 01 Black

- Astor Seduction Codes Mascara

- Ardell Black Wispies

One side has more black than the other and is better blended, one eye lash is put on good the other one extremely crooked ...aaah! I hate it xD I am such a perfectionist and I can't look too much at this picture .. 

Thanks for reading anyway! And see ya soon with some better post :)

Valentine's Day Challenge - Romantic Lace

Hello my lovelies!

Today starts the Valentine's Day Challenge that Kaki and me created! I'm so excited to see what all the girls come up with :D

My plan was to create both make-up and nail art for every challenge, but I realized today this will be pretty hard! I sometimes don't have that many ideas :D

So here is my romantic lace inspired mani:

I used Catrice Must Have STEELetto, a gorgeous light purple metallic, as a base, a lace-like image from an Essence Stamping plate and Konad Black Nail Polish.

I didn't stamp the image on the nail, but instead I created nail decals and just put them on the nail where I wanted them. It's much more easier that way! If you wanna see a tutorial on this technique just let me know ;) 

To make the line more smooth I added some dots with the same Konad polish and finished it with a layer of TC.

I wanted to do some lace pattern around the eyes as well, but I didn't manage to do it... I don't have such a thin brush to create such a look. So instead I used the same metallic purple eye shadow to match it with the nails: 

Products I used: 

- P2 Perfect Eyes Base

- P2 Intensive Kohl Eyeliner 020 Cool Alaska 

- BH Galaxy Chic (Color: Cosmic)

- Sleek Ultra Mattes V2 (Colors: Villan + Pillow Talk)

- Catrice Absolute Matt Palette

- P2 Glow Up Highlighter - High Beam

- Maybelline Gel Eyeliner 01 Black

- Astor Seduction Codes Mascara

- Catrice Single Lashes (on outer corner)

The eye shadow is much more similar to the nail polish in real life and much more shimmery too. 

I hope you like it and don't forget to check out the other ladies as well! 

Thanks for reading! <3

31 Day NA Challenge - Day 22: Inspired by a song

Hello my dear readers!

The minute I saw the title of today's challenge I knew what song I would pick!
Sia's Elastic Heart is one of my absolute favorites these days, the song and lyrics are beautiful and every time I see the music video I get goose bumps.

My mani was inspired by the cage you can see in the video and their clothes (which are almost non-existent^^):

I applied P2 - Flirt & Tease as a base and sponged over it with P2- Soulful and Essence - Got a secret. For the ring finger I used the same base, Essence Moonless Night for the cage and Essence Got a secret for the highlights. 

If you don't know the song or the video, just -click here- to go directly to the clip :) 

Hope you like it! Thanks for reading <3 

31 Days NA Challenge - Day 4: Green Nails

Hey guys!

It's so strange to post every single day, after I didn't post for so long :D But it's fun! And today I have the fourth challenge for you, which is green nails :)

I applied 3 thin coats of Flormar Neon N007 as a base and used a small nail art brush to draw that wavy pattern with P2 Green Palm Tree (from the Summer Attack LE). 

Hope you like it!

Thanks for reading <3 

31 Days NA Challenge - Day 3: Yellow Nails

Hello my lovelies!

I have to say that I am not a big fan of yellow nails... the few yellow polishes I own are mostly for nail art! But today's challenge required the color yellow - so here we go:

I used 2 coats of Catrice Color Brightening Base Coat (which is basically just a white polish) and I applied 2 thin coats of P2 Joyful over it.

To make it a bit more sparkly I added some orange glitter on the accent nail....but I'm not sure I like it :P The combination of orange and yellow I mean ...green would have been better I guess :) 

That's it for today! See ya tomorrow :) 

Thanks for reading <3 

31 Day NA Challenge - Day 1: Red Nails

Hello my dear readers! :)

The first day of the challenge is here, yaaay :D The first challenges are pretty simple, but there will come some difficult ones don't worry! 

Ok, for today I applied 2 coats of P2 - Fever, which is one of my favorite red polishes - I just love the metallic finish! 

Pictures are with top coat!

Tell me, what is your favorite red polish ? :)

Also, if you wanna join me, just send me a link to your blog post and I will add it under my post :) It's never to late! And you can skip some challenges if you don't have enough time - it's not a problem ;)

See ya tomorrow with the next mani :) 

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Make-Up of the Day: Green and Gold Eyes

Hello my lovelies :) 

I wanna show you the make-up I wore today, since it turned out better than expected :) 

I did a gold and green kinda smokey eye and paired it with some neutral soft pink lips with golden shimmer as well. 

To get some gold color on the lips I just took the same eye shadow I used on my eyes, applied it on my lips as well and put the lip gloss right over it :)

Face

Kiko Mat Base Corrector Primer

I'm trying to use more of my palettes and create colorful make-ups because I just have so much stuff and I really should use it:P 

The reason I said it turned out better than expected is that usually gold eye shadow isn't as opaque as I would like - but I just put P2's golden eye liner under it as a base and it turned out how I wanted!

Also the eye shadows are just amazing, but that's why I love to use Sleek palettes ;)

See ya soon <3 

*Late* Nail Art Monday - Tape accent nail

Hello my dear readers!

*EDIT: I suck as a blogger ... I wrote that post yesterday and forgot to post it ... I'm sorry for the delay, again^^ *

Today I have some simple nail art for you - an accent nail with rhinestones and geometric design, that I achieved by using tape :)

The base for this mani is P2's No Matter from the "Winter ... who cares?!" LE I showed you yesterday!

For the accent nail I used Essence - Snow Alert (from the Mountain Calling LE) and 3 rhinestones. I topped it all off with a thick coat of TC. 

My plan was to do all nails like that, but then I thought It may be a little bit too much and I also didn't wanna cover up that gorgeous blue ;) 

How do you like it? Let me know!

Thanks for reading :*  

Sunday Swatches: P2 - Winter ... who cares?! Limited Edition Polishes

 Hello my lovelies :)

Today I have some absolutely gorgeous polishes for you! When I saw them in the store, the first thing I noticed was that cute bottle design that reminded me of christmas tree decorations :D
And then I saw all the glitter *-* It was like nail polish heaven in that moment! So I just had to buy them all ... you understand me right? :D

But look for yourself:

These are the 6 polishes from P2's new limited edition collection "Winter ... who cares?!" - the name is pretty funny as well, like "who cares? I'm gonna rock some cool polish even in the winter! Hell yeah!" Just my motto ;) 

So let's take a closer look at each one:

010 - I don't care!

This is a pinkish red jelly with small and big white glitter in it. Even after 3 coats it is not fully opaque, but the application is flawless and easy. All the polishes have a slightly thicker consistency, so it may be good to use them over another more opaque polish instead of applying 3 to 4 coats.

020 - Never mind!

This one is a beautiful purple jelly with small and big white glitter in it. This one is pretty much opaque after 3 coats and the application was just as flawless as the other ones. 

This is one of my favorites! :) 

030 - Even now!

This is a white jelly with the same glitter in it as the other ones - and the most beautiful thing about this polish is the fact that it looks like snow! I don't know why but the white glitter in the white jelly base just remind me of winter and snow, so it is perfect for the next months! 

I already have a nail art in mind with it ;) 

Good application just like all the others, but this one isn't really opaque after 3 coats either - but that's perfectly normal for jellies :) 

040 - Play up!

This is a gorgeous bright pink jelly with big and small white glitter in it. Application is flawless, but opacity is not fully there after 3 coats. 

I don't wear pink very often but this one looks so pretty on the nails and kinda reminds me of candy - I don't know why :P 

050 - For that reason!

This one is a light grey jelly with white glitter in it, application is just as good as the other ones and it's almost opaque after 3 coats. 

I have to be honest, I took this polish just to have all 6 of them, so it is not one of my favorites but it still is pretty nice :) 

060 - No matter!

A beautiful blue jelly with white glitter in it, flawless application and almost full opacity after 3 coats. 

It is my absolute FAVORITE of this collection, I mean look at it - it reminds me of a night sky with thousands of stars ...absolutely gorgeous :) 

I have to say I am in love with this collection! There are so many things you could do with these polishes and I love the fact that they are jellies! They are very glossy and paired with the glitter it gives them such a deep look, that I just adore :) 

One bottle of polish costs 2,25€ here in Germany and contains 15ml of product.

Tell me, which one is your favorite? 

Thanks for reading and see ya next time :)

My first Galaxy Nails!

I finally managed to do the most awesome nail art trend ever : the galaxy nails! I wanted to do them for ages but I always thought, they're too difficult to do. When I saw some pretty pictures featuring this awesome design a few days ago, I just removed my polish and started polishing and sponging like crazy, to achieve the galaxy look :D

Here is what I used: 

And also Flormar U25, which I forgot to put in the picture^^ And here is the end result:

The white is actually acrylic paint, and I used the technique shown in this video to create all the little stars in my galaxy :) 

It was really fun creating this mani, buuuuut the clean-up was such a pain in the a** because of all the blue polishes. After washing my hands 2 times the blue staining from my skin was gone though :) 

So much shimmer and glitter going on here and since blue is my favorite nail polish color, this has to be my all-time favorite manicure !!

I will definitely try this with different colors too! Like purple shades for example :D 

Now tell me, do you like galaxy nails? 

Thanks for reading and have a good night! 

The Penguin Make-Up Challenge 3 !

I am so sad it's already the last challenge!! It was so fun creating these different make-up looks, because I've never done more than apply some liquid eye-liner and mascara and that's it :)) So thanks Kaki, Mimi and Alexis for coming up with this great challenge!! :D

So the last challenge was to use only white & color and at first I didn't knew what to do, but then I woke up this morning and I had an idea! :D 

I love the ocean, I love Walt Disney's Arielle and therefore all kind of mermaids. So I decided to do a mermaid inspired look! 

I wish I had some gold eye shadow, that's the only thing that's missing here :P 

Products I used for this look:

Eyes & Eyebrows

Catrice Eye Shadow Base

Essence Eye Shadow 01 Chill Out (white shimmer)

Essence Eye Shadow 13 Rapanui (mint shade)

P2 Eye Shadow 060 Bombastic Blue

P2 Eye Pencil 020 Cool Alaska (white)

Catrice Eye Pencil 080 Lucy In the Skies (eyebrows)

Essence Eye Pencil 02 I'm a Marine Girl (50's Girls LE)

Maybelline Jade Volume Mascara in Navy Blue

False Eye Lashes from Fing'rs

Face

Essence Pure Teint Mousse Make-Up 01 Beige

+ all the eye shadows from above! ;)

Lips

Catrice Eye Pencil 080 Lucy In The Skies

Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss 13 Rock On! (purple shimmer)

This was incredibly fun to create and I wore it for almost 5 hours (because I wanted to show it to my mom :D) and it all stayed in place and looked just like in the beginning! 

I had to do something crazy for the last challenge, because I did some pretty "normal" looks for the other 2 ones, right? :P 

I hope you like it!! Make sure to check out all the other talented ladies! ;) 

The Penguin Make-Up Challenge 2 !

Hey! :)

The second week in the Penguin Make-Up Challenge is already here! Let's see what today's challenge is:

Ever since I saw the second challenge, I knew I wanted to use turquoise in my make-up. I saw a lot of turquoise-purple combinations on pinterest and decided to try it myself ;) 

I wish I had a brighter purple-shade in my eye shadow collection, cause it would look 10 times better in combintion with that bright turquoise, don't you think ? Btw...that turquoise color is 10 times brighter in real life! It's gorgeous!!

(Please excuse the messy hair ...and the messy application of my false eye lashes ^^)

Here's what I used (eyes only!): 

Catrice Eye Shadow Base

Catrice Eye Pencil 130 Bright Violet

Catrice Eye Pencil 080 Lucy In the Skies

P2 Eye Shadow 042

P2 Eye Shadow 060 Bombastic Blue

Essence Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner 

Rimmel Extra Super Lash Mascara

Fing'rs False Eye Lashes

Now tell me, what are your favorite eye shadow colors? :) 

The Penguin Make-Up Challenge Day 1 !

Hey there, beautiful people!

As I announced yesterday, today starts another challenge that I'm super excited about, because it's a MAKE-UP challenge... oh yes! Finally something else on my blog :D I thought this would be a great opportunity to get into make-up a bit more and see what you guys think about it :)
So let's start!

This is the challenge banner:

As you can see, the challenge was created by 3 very talented and nice ladies:
 Kaki, Alexis and Mimi!

The first challenge is to use only black and white! Not so hard for me, because you can create some great smokey-eyes with black and that's what I did ;) 

WARNING! Picture Spam ahead! :D

And here is a close-up:

For this look I used (eye-makeup only!):

Catrice Eye Shadow Base

P2 Intensive Khol Eyeliner 020 Cool Alaska

Essence Kajal Pencil 01 Black

Essence Quattro Eyeshadow 07 Over the Taupe (white shade)

Essence Eyeshadow in 53 Pop Eye

Essence Liquid Eyeliner Waterproof in black

P2 Limitless False Eye Lashes

And one last pic :) 

After I finished the look (it took me forever!) I twittered that "..I look like a stripper, but I kinda like it" :D I really do, I love it! But my question to you is:

Would you wear this eye makeup even during the day, or just for a night out? Or is it just too much for you? 

Please be honest, I would love to know :D

Just btw ... I adore my camera! It makes such beautiful pictures! Thanks again mom :*

Check out the other ladies, who are participating in this challenge :)
