Holy Motherboard

I love computers, and all tech related stuff, and that's why I bought the Sci-Fi Collection plate from Moyou-London, i my little haul. I decided to only get the 06 plate, the rest of the Sci-Fi Collection what a bit to childish for my taste.

Sorry for not being very active on the blog lately, I am going though a hectic week with hospital appointments and interview + tests for a job. I have my fingers crossed for this particular job that means I will be moving to Spain for 3 months. I am so excited to hear back from them later this week. Next week is my birthday, so it could not have come on a more appropriate time.

Last week I posted my review on the Moyou-London Sci-Fi Collection plate 06, and posted it on my YT-channel, as well as here on the blog. You can find that post here.

This is the manicure I created using the Moyou-London Sci-Fi Collection plate 06. I did two different designs for this, and used two images from the plate.

I just love this polish. I don't own a lot of Kiko polishes, but the Holographic ones are SO amazing.  I used two coats of this manicure. It's freaking amazing. I used Wet & Wild - Black Creme for stamping.

This way you get to see the amazing holographic polish shine through, I wore this for a bit and felt the need to stamp on the ringfinger as well, and this is how that ended up looking.

It Better Be Math

Some people hate math, and others enjoy it. I consider myself to be somewhere in between those two. It depends on the type of math...


I used to have a professor that was incredibly awesome. He would make a joke about any type of math, and then spend the rest of the session explaining how the equation (or any type of mathematically question that was the topic that day) worked. I loved it, and it is not a surprise that while I had this professor, my math grades where good.


So when I got my hands on the Scholar Collection plate, and it had math written all over it, I wanted to start out easy.

I started out using Barry M - Gelly - Lychee as base coat. I made black french tips with Wet & Wild - Black Creme, and stamped using the same Wet & Wild. 

I am not quite agreeing with the shade of Lychee, I don't think it fits very well with my pale skin at the moment, but as soon as I get a bit of a tan, I think this polish will look a lot better on me.

I am totally adoring this plate from Moyou-London. I am so glad i bought it. It ties well in with the Fairytale plates, with Romeo and Juliet quote, and Alice reading a book. There is just so many things you can do with this plate. Below you can see the Youtube video i posted on my channel about the plate.


Have a great day.

OTT Pink

Picture from Pinterest


I know it's not Wednesday anymore, but I was so busy with all the other posts that needed to go out. So it's a day late. It's also Mean Girls 10 year anniversary, at the end of this post, you will find Inlinkz with load of links to other girls that also wore pink on Wednesday. Be sure to check em out.

Today I decided to go completely OTT (over the top).

I used the new Barry M - Silk - Blossom.
If you have followed my blog for a while, you know I don't usually do this kind of stuff, but I decided to give it a try.
Nothing wrong in trying.

I started out with a french tip using Sinful Color - Snow Me White, and did some lines on my index finger. Over that I added Barry M - Blossom. I was wondering how it would look over the white, to soften the look of the intense white tips. I forgot to take a before picture of this step. This is with one coat of Barry M - Blossom.




Then I went in to add some rhinestones. Part of me really like this, and part of my find it really gross. So hopefully you will all be in between.

10 or more Nail Polish Tag!



I have always wanted to make a tag, and while I was catching up on my YT-videos, I got this great idea for a tag. There is a similar tag out for makeup, but not a single one for nail polish addicts. So I decided to go ahead and do that. If you are reading this, consider yourself tagged!

If you have a huuuge collection (my collection just passed 350), feel free to make it just about the ones you have the most of.

The tag is about the brands we seem to have the most of in our collections, that we bought with our own money, and went back to purchase more of.  Within the brand, which ones are your favorite?


BrandNumber of polishes
Barry M15
China Glaze14
Essie11
H&M24
Misa13
Models Own17
OPI10
Sinful Color12
W718

Sinful Color


My favorites: Savage and Snow Me White.
I use Snow Me white for stamping (mainly) I just love it for that, and have several backups . Savage was a polish from Sinful Color that completely surprised me. I bought it last summer, and hadn't used it, or even swatched it, so one day I decided to try it out, and was blown away over how cool this polish is. It doesn't look it in the bottle, but it transfers to this gorgeous matte shade.


W7


My favorites: Golden Suede, Aqua Suede, and Mauve Suede.
I fell in love with the whole Suede -thing last summer. And these three was the reason for it. I got them at my local Factory Store, and bought the whole collection. Can't really go wrong when they are only £ 2 ea. This brown looking suede wasn't brown at all, but this gorgeous golden toned with silver shimmer, perfect for backgrounds or just alone. I was sold. I actually did a Steampunk nail art using this golden shade. If you type "golden Suede" in the search bar you can find the post.


Essie


My favorites: Aruba Blue, and Trophy Wife

Aruba Blue and Trophy Wife was the first polishes I got from Essie. I  had just landed a small bonus, and I burned it all up on polishes. Aruba Blue is gorgeous cool toned intense blue. It's super bright, and just makes you long for an extended vacation. Trophy Wife is such a complex colour and it works great with my skin tone. Whenever I wear it, it makes me stretch my hands and admire my nails .


China Glaze

Ruby Slippers, Luxe and Lush and For Audrey.

For Audrey, I don't think I need to explain that one. We all get it, right? It was also my first lemming.  Second lemming was Ruby Slippers (I love Wizard of Oz, and just NEEDED this in my life), third lemming, which I had to work very hard to get, was Luxe and Lush. It's finally mine. The shipping was a killer, but it's now mine.


Misa

My favorites: A Sin Worth Commiting, Toxic Seduction, and Like it like that.
Thanks to a nail polish - angel, also calle Mishka from Lacquer or Leave Her! I have Misa polishes. These three are my favorites. A Sin Worth Commiting for the AMAZING blue colour. It's like a winter night sky, or Disney type magic, or something along those lines. The other two, simply cause i love green. Like it like that, is slightly not so green but teal-ish.. But somewhere in the midle there.


OPI



My favorites: Live or Let Die, and Spotted.

I have to admit, I have not tried any of the crackles from OPI I just own them. I'm a bad blogger. I should try them... Live or Let Die was a lemming, and whenever I was out flying, I was constantly looking for it, but they where always sold out, until... one day... I think I left from Manchester on Terminal 1 (or it might have been that time I flew to Dublin.. or Italy... anyhow.. it was last year. I found it. Wait, I think I remember. I think it was the Oslo airport... or Rygge... Darn it. I can't remember. 
Anyhow. I own OPI Spotted, cause everyone have been raving about it. I haven't actually used this one either. (ooopsie) come to think about it, I have only tried OPI - Live or Let Die...


Models Own



My favorites: Mystic Mauve, Gold Rush and Golden Green Beetle Juice.


I love these polishes for some simple reason. One is a green, and the other two... well I made a gradient with them, and it was perfect. So I love them. I don't know if you can see it, but in the top picture half of my Models Own polishes are still intact in their original plastic wrapper. Until I use them, they will remain so. 


Barry M



My favorites: Watermelon, Racing Green and Emerald Green.
Green!!!!!!!! Yupp. I love Watermelon, because its AMAZI-BALLZ, and the other two are gorgeous greens.


H&M



My favorites: Deep Deep Water, and Fantasy Ocean. 

I don't really think all those minis count, but I included them anyway. My favorites are these two from the Ocean trio. I did a manicure using all three, but only fell in love with these two. One if a gorgeous purple/blue (blurple), and the other one is a teal/green thing with golden undertones and shimmer.

There you have it. My favorites within the brands I have 10 or more polishes in. If you do this tag, feel free to add it in the comment section below, I would love to see what your favorites are.

Today I am showing you all the Moyou-London Sci-Fi Collection Plate 06. I wasn't overly keen on the rest of the plates in this collection but I knew I HAD to have this one. I love motherboard designs, and this plate is perfect for that. Below you can see the video I posted on YT a couple of hours ago, and at the end of it, you can see a preview of the manicure I did using two images from this plate. I will be back with a separate post for it. 


Hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to subscribe to my YT-Channel for upcoming videos.
Have a great day.
