Hey everyone! The past couple of weeks I've shown manicures with ladybugs, bunnies and pandas but today it's time for the Frogs. I have to admit that they are not in my top 5 of cute animals, but they look really adorable on the nails! It gave me the opportunity to use my 'Shrek shade' of green as well. I thought it would look a bit scary on the nails so I never used it before, but I actually like it a lot! I think that it's a pretty 'fresh' shade, kinda reminds me of grass and apples.

This is what I used :) From left to right: White nail art striper from Lemax colour, an old liquid eyeliner in black by Catrice, Lime up! from Essence and the 'Pink kitty' nail polish from H&M.

 Here you can see what I did to create the frogs! ;) It was really easy, once you're done with painting the body it's just a matter of adding circles in different colours and sizes. It might look even cuter with a blue background, but I just went for pink because I like the contrast a lot! (You can click the picture for a larger image, blogger likes to make everything shrink).

If there are any animal manicures you'd like to see next, let me know! I really enjoy creating them. I was thinking of doing an owl theme next...or perhaps something with a bee. There are too many animals out there ;P

If you don't know about KKcenterhk yet, it's an online shop selling a lot of cute products! (Such as wigs, false eyelashes, eyeshadow palettes etc.). A little while ago the shop contacted me to ask me if I was interested in a sponsorship, and after taking a look at their products and some other reviews I said yes! They sent me the A399 false eyelashes (they work with codes/item numbers on their website). You can find the eyelashes here

They remind me a bit of the 'crisscross' false eyelashes I got from Ebay. I use a lot of false eyelashes from Ebay because they are so cheap, but when it comes to these two I do prefer the ones from KKcenterhk. They go from short to long (= looks more natural) and the eyelash band is thinner.

They definitely make my eyes look a lot bigger! It's a shame that the eyelash band is a little stiff, the bits on the inner corners tend to 'pop back' (even after using some extra eyelash glue). You'll need a bit of patience to get them to stay put. However, because the eyelash band is pretty thin I do use less glue than usual, which means there's less glue residue as well!

I don't use false eyelashes as often as I'd like because I'm pretty clumsy, but I'll definitely use these again! It's a little hard to make them stay in place, you really need a good eyelash glue. But they still look very nice (I love that they go from short to long!) and they are easy to remove as well. $6.50 for 10 pairs is not very expensive, I do like them more than my eyelashes from Ebay! And I have around 4-5 different types of false eyelashes from that place ;)


How do you feel about using false eyelashes?

Hey everyone! I haven't been blogging as much as usual -sorry!- because I'm in the middle of studying for my exams. Today is just going to be a quick post to let you know that the Enchantra giveaway is going to close soon! You have until June 30 to enter and try to win 30 Euro of shop credit! ;)

I also have 3 more free Fotolia trials, in case you're interested in some free quality pictures for your posts, layout etc. You can read my review here. It really is a great website, so I hope to give a few more girls (or guys) the chance to try it out!

 If you follow me on twitter you probably already know that our cat loves to sleep on top of my 'dresser thing' (where I keep all of my nail polish). I decided to wake her up to show her my nails, she wasn't really impressed! :P 

Hey everyone! It's finally time for a Kitten update! In case you missed the other post (with more information about the cat breed and a lot of pictures etc. ) you can read it here. But to make a long story short: a couple of weeks ago we decided to get two kittens and they are finally home! ;) They are almost 13 weeks old now and SUPER sweet. Ben (the darker one) loves to give kisses, likes to play and sleeps in the most uncomfortable looking positions. His brother Beau is not easily scared, loves to snuggle and was quite impressed by my Hello Kitty collection. Our other cat Lara is still a bit skeptical and doesn't come close to these two, but hopefully they'll get along soon. They still have a bit of a strange smell in her opinion, and she has never seen kittens before ;)

Below I have some more pictures of the two brothers and their siblings! I added the names (if I could remember them correctly) and at the end there are a couple of pictures of Ben and Beau exploring their new home. We keep them in one room at the moment, so we can keep an eye on them and our dogs won't scare them.













I'm sure that I'll do another 'Kitten update' in the future, but I'll mostly just tweet a picture when something cute happens! (You can find me on twitter over here in case you're interested!). However, I just wanted to share this in a proper blog post because I'm really excited that these two are part of the family now! I was afraid that they'd be a bit nervous/shy/scared at first but they act like they've been living here from the start.

Hey everyone! It seems that the 'favourites of the month' posts are pretty popular, but I'm going to do the opposite today! I thought it would be fun to show 10 products I regret buying or just won't repurchase. Some of them are just too expensive/awful, others are just not my cup of tea.

The weather is super gloomy lately so the pictures didn't turn out so great, it definitely doesn't feel like summer here at the moment! Anyway, let's take a look at 10 of my least favourite products! You can click on the links to go to a review of a certain product, in case you want to know more about it ;)

From left to right we have a dry shampoo, eye cream (both from Kruidvat), Hydrating and smoothing foundation from Sephora and a loose face powder from NYC. The dry shampoo and loose face powder work fine, but I never use them. I prefer a shower and a compact powder! ;) Eye cream in a jar was just a big fail with my long nails, and the eye cream wasn't very good either. The foundation is the worst foundation I've tried so far.

From left to right you can see a concealer palette from Catrice, Light diffusing concealer from Collection 2000, Duo lash glue, 24/7 Glide on eye pencil from Urban Decay duo in zero/whiskey (it came free with the Naked palette, but I still dislike it) and the Forget it! concealer from Essence. All of the concealers are okay, but I wouldn't repurchase them because I'm sure that there are better concealers out there! The lash glue and eye pencil are just way too expensive, I actually prefer a cheap lash glue from Ebay and there are cheaper + better eye pencils as well. (I compared both of the products to similar products in the reviews).

Last but not least, my 28 neutral palette. It wasn't expensive, but I do regret buying this! I rarely use it because the pigmentation is just not great. I bought it because I thought that it would be a nice 'everyday palette' for neutral looks, but it's pretty disappointing. I got it from Ebay though, so maybe I just got a bit unlucky, a lot of girls seem to love this palette!

Do you have a product you regret buying or wouldn't repurchase? 

Hi guys! I've been walking around with ladybugs, bunnies and pandas on my nails for the past couple of weeks so I decided to go back to basic ;) I just went crazy with a lot of pink/purple shades and my dotting tool. It looks pretty simple but I love pink so I like it a lot! (Although I'd love to see how it turns out with different shades of blue or green).

I used 'Get a rose 4 me' from H&M as the base colour, it's definitely one of my favourite shades of pink! I also used 3 nail paints from Barry M to create the dots: Number 024 (LE), Shocking pink and Bright purple. I added the dots with the dotting tool that came with my nail art brushes.

Next time I want to make the dots a little bigger! My dotting tool wasn't being very versatile, so I'm going to look for something else to create dots with. Perhaps a hairpin or something like that! ;)

A side note: Remember the post about the kittens? If everything goes to plan we can pick them up this Friday! I'm really excited and I'm definitely going to dedicate another post to them when they arrive (they're SO cute). Just hope they won't start playing with my nail polish when I'm painting my nails!

I hope you enjoyed your weekend!
