Glitter

As some of you might know I'm quite the nail polish (art) fan, so I wanted to share a few new nail polishes I bought the other day. Lately I've become a big fan of glitter nail polish, especially the ones with big flakes. The only downside is that they are a pain to remove from your nails :(

I found these gorgeous nail polishes at Kruidvat (a Dutch drugstore). From left to right: 08 Troy, 75 Gleam in Blue, 06 Edward and 02 Hello Halo, all by Essence.

I already own 07 Blair (a black-ish glitter with small holo glitter and big silver flakes) from the Essence nail art twins, and after I layered it over my black nail polish I wanted more glitters from this serie. I also wanted Bella, the base coat for the Edward glitter, but unfortunately it was sold out :(

This is 07 Blair layered over Essence's black nail polish (20 Fatal) (in case you haven't noticed, I'm a bit of an Essence fan), and I really love it <3 At the moment I have 02 Hello Halo on my toenails, and it's really sparkly and pretty in the sun <3

The only pair of nail art twins that I don't own is 02 Romeo and Julia (Romeo being a light grey base color and Julia being a clear glitter with big and small silver flakes). All the nail art twins are named after popular couples; Romeo and Juliet, Troy and Gabriella, Chuck and Blair and Bella and Edward :)

This was it for this time, until the next post!
