Hello everyone,

I hope you have a great weekend. What did you do?

Here is my sunday mani for this week.
The past two weekend were pretty nice, the weather was great and I felt the spring is about to come.
So I was looking for a nice mani that would bring happiness when looking at it.

I remember Whitney’s (Dressed up Nails) pastel easter manicure from April last year. So I tried a similar one myself.

Polishes I used:

– Ciaté’s PP151 Loop de Loop
– Ciaté’s PP118 Candy floss
– Ciaté’s PP104 Pepperminty
– Ciaté’s PP080 Sugar plum
– Catrice LE Celtica C03 Love, Peach & Harmony

I paired each base color with a different color for the polka dots.

As you can see, I paired as following:

Loop de Loop / Candy floss
Candy floss / Sugar plum
Pepperminty / Catrice’s Love, Peach & Harmony
Sugar plum / Loop de Loop
Catrice’s Love, Peach & Harmony / Pepperminty

Make sure to let the base color dry properly and then use a dotting tool to create the dots.
I used the small side of my dotting tool. Again, let everything dry properly and seal it with a shiny clear top coat.

I think it is a really fun manicure. Thank you Whitney for the inspiration!
You should go check out her blog, she is very talented :)

Have a great rest sunday.

Hello everyone,

first of all I want to apologize for uploading so late today. It is about 1am here in Germany and life kept me busy so I was not able to upload more early.

Since I am super tired, I will make it short today.
I know that not posting could have been an option as well, but I am serious about blogging so if I say I upload everday, then I am doing this :)

Besides there is not much to say anyways. What can you say about your favorite polish?
All I can say is that I have tried so many polish through all these years, but this one was always my favorite. Before they stopped selling it I bought two more bottles, so I own three now.

I am talking about a polish from the cosmetic company UMA and my favorite polish is …..

tadaaaaaa~ …..

this super pretty golden-bronze-red glitter polish is my absolute all time favorite.
It is super pretty, very easy to apply and it always looks gorgeous!
The dry time is super short, so it is the perfect last minute polish.
It simply has no flaws.

Put a shiny clear top coat on top and you are ready to go.

I am so super sad that they don’t sell it anymore, because if my bottles dry out or get empty I will cry my eyes off. :(
That is how much I love this polish.
