Franken of the Day: Midnight Purple

Today I'm going to show you my favourite Franken. It's called Midnight Purple and is by far my favourite off all my frankens( 44 and counting ^^ ). So here are the pictures:





For the swatches I used 2 coats of Alessandro's Pro White Hologram Lavender, 2 coats of Midnight Purple, 2 Coats Revlon Top Coat Fixateur and for the thumb an extra coat of Essence Nail Art Glitter Tope 02 Shiny Star.
I wanted to do a close up of the thumb-nail but my camera decided not to make any decent pictures of it :P
The Essence Polish has got tiny squares , middle sized circles and little circles- all of them are some kind of holographic and seem to be made from the same material.

Revlon Top Coat Fixateur

Hello Readers

Today I want to "praise" the (by far) best Top Coat I've ever used: Revlon's Top Coat Fixateur. It's by far the best fast drying Top Coat. How I discovered it's "magic"? Today I did my manicure as usual- a nail strenghening base coat(Catrice Nail hardener extra stron), then two coats of China Glaze's Octa gone wild and shortly after ( the layers weren't even dry yet) i've did a coat of Revlon's Top Coat Fixateur.
I did this when I chatted with a friend on an IM and about 10 minutes later all layers were dry- no smudges at all. I have to say I love this Top Coat- the big but is that it deems the greatness of the holo-polishes :(

I'm sorry I don't have any swatch-pics yet- i'm quite lazy at the moment plus a headache isn't that good.

There's a giveaway at Ivana's Beautyblog. She's giving away 3 (yes, 3!!) sets. Contest ends next Sunday.

Das erste Set ist der Hammer- den Eyeko Nagellack wollte ich schon immer haben, von Micro Cell hab ich auch nur gutes gehört, der revlon schaut so toll duo-chromig aus und der New York Summer glitzert so schön ^^

Muse's role changed

I've just seen this Video and thought to share it with you guys: It was taken from an italian TV channel and shows my favourite Band Muse changeing their "roles", the actuall Singer, Matt Bellamy on the Drums, the Bassist playing guitar and the Drummer as the "Singer" and Bass player. I love this video and the Moderator doesn't even know that her performers even changed their position they actually play with- that happens when you force(?) a live-kicking Band into playing their songs playback:

another giveaway

I just wanted to tell you guys there's a giveaway at Allyoudesire. The contest closes on the 30th.

Top Coat

I'm quite desperatly looking for a good Top coat which prevents my polish from chiping and is fast drying. So I'm asking you, my dear readers to recommend me some of your favourites :)
Just leave your "loved top coats" in the comments below :)

Edit: Is the Revlon fast drying Top Coat a good buy? There are a few reviews that say so.

Clutch-Obsession

Hey
today I want to gibe you a look at something crafty. I've been quite obsessed with clutches lately and so I finished this clutch a few weeks( or months, cannot remember) & used a blue, glittery fabric. I had the fabric for almost 10 years now- it was a carnival costume before& i only wore it once when i was about 8 or so. The years gone by& I found it& I knew it had to be a clutch- I first wanted it to be a classy pleated clutch but with no sewing mashine= not that good to make such. So I decided to make this:
(front)

(back)



the actual colour is a tad darker- i don't know why my camera pictures it lighter than it really is. It also has got a plain black inner lining.

NOTD: Dior Vernis Poison Blue

Hello Polish Lovers

Today I want to show you my first swatches- My NOTD is Dior Vernis Poison Blue- my first really expensive and I must say I love this colour. It's a really dark navy blue and after two coats it was opaque and looked almost like black.



I've also added some Stars with those kind of stickers where you polish over and remove the sticker when it's dry. I got those from Claire's.

These are the polishes I used:


(from left to right): P2 Profi Nail Studio 8 in 1 Nail Wonder(one coat, as a base coat), Dior Vernis Poison Blue( 2 coats) and Look by Bipa Nail Tatoo Liner Number 2 in Gold for the stars

Edit: the polish chiped today and this means I'm in desperate need for an good (quick dry!) Top Coat- any suggestions?
