Mara’s Birthday nail art month – DAY 17

Mara's Birthday nail art month

DAY 17

Hey everyone,

today I have a very simple manicure for you.

Here is what I used:

  • Ciaté – PP065 Big yellow Taxi
  • O.P.I. – Alpine Snow
  • Ciaté – PP151 Loop the Loop
  • Maybelline – Colorshow – LE Bleached Neons – 241 sun flare, 242 coral heat, 243 tropink

At first you appy Big yellow Taxi to all nails except the ring finger. There you apply Alpine Snow. Let everything dry properly. When the ring finger is dry you take Maybelline’s Bleached Neons and apply a row of dots at the middle of the nail, using Loop the Loop by Ciate.Next to it on the left and the right you apply rows of sun flare, coral heat and tropink.

At last you can apply a clear top coat. That’s all.

Hey everyone,

So here we go :)

Last but definitely not least, the only thing I did not buy. I received this little something from Ciaté Germany.

Which were a key holder, the full sized paint pot PP107 – pocket money and the mini glass file from Ciaté.
Again, thanks a lot for that. I was and still am very happy about it.

 

wheeeeee that was a lot haha

I hope you like my little update on my Ciaté collection.

Now the only thing missing is the Nail lab, but sadly that thing is a bit expensive.

But look what’s in it, the perfect things to play around with and mix your own polishes.

Any recommendations on what I should buy next?

[Review] Rival de Loop „Sorbet Nail Collection“

Hello everyone,

sorry for keeping things I bought apart from my HAULy friday posts, but lately I buy so many new polishes that posting the news once once a week is just not enough^^
Companies are throwing LE’s on the market like there is no tomorrow. It makes me crazy haha
Not only the DM drugstore brands like Essence, Catrice and p2 – also Rossmann brand Rival de Loop and Rival de Loop young are releasing LE’s all the time. Sometimes I feel it is a little bit too much, but oh well we keep buying stuff anyway. haha

Today I want to show you a nail polish collection from Rival de Loop which I bought about 2 weeks ago I think.
I actually found this by accident. But when I saw it I had to buy all of the effect polishes!
With these they also released 5 base colors, but since I have polishes that are very similar, I didn’t feel the need to buy these here.

For all of you are interested, these polishes are vegan.

The LE contains 10 polishes total. 5 base colors and 5 top coats. They are all pairs, contain 10 ml of product and cost 2,49 euro each.

The blue effect polish on the yellow thumb sadly does not show up so well in the pictures, but it was a really nice combination.

I am kind torn which of these effect polishes is my favorite. I really love the one on my pinky finger, the blue one on my thumb and the fuzzy one on my ring finger, because the color combination of the fuzzy particles is so unique.

How do you like these polishes?
Let me know :)
