Nail tutorial for short nails: Sparkly ombre nails

Hi guys,

Because I've got some dinner to go to tonight, I thought I'd do a nail tutorial for you today. This nail tutorial isn't that difficult, but it gives you a more glamorous look though. If you want your nails to look sparkly and kind of ombre like mine. Please follow the following steps.


First of all we start with a base coat. I used an essence base coat, but you can use any base coat you want.

Then I used essie's buy me a cameo as base colour for my whole nail. I applied two coats, but if you don't have this colour you can use a similar nailpolish or a totally different colour.

Here on the left you can see how it looks like so far. But if you're more into bright colours, you can use any other you like. It's all up to you!

Afther this colour I applied the golden sparkly colour goldeneye of the James Bond OPI-collection on 2/3th of my nail. After this step I painted the first 1/3th of my nails again with this colour to achieve an ombre effect. I didn't take another picture of this step, but you can see the result of this step in the first picture.

And the last step is ofcourse the topcoat. I used a catrice topcoat, but you can use any topcoat that works for you and that is available in your local drugstore.

So here on the left you can see the final result!

I hope you like it , but for the people who aren't that into sparkly nailpolish, I'll do a matte nailtutorial later on.

Thanks for reading my blog guys!

Top 5 nailpolish favourites for the summer

Hi guys , today I'm going to show you my 5 favourite nailpolishes of the moment. In this top there are some drugstore brands and some brands that are a little more expensive. These are my favourites of the moment, but there's a huge chance, they'll be different in a month or so.

#1 OPI - teal the cows come home

To start off, here's a beautiful shiny blue from OPI. OPI is an amazing nail polish brand. This product retailes for about 13 dollars.

#2 Catrice - AcidDC

Now over to a beautiful lime green color. This color from Catrice is maybe only available in Belgium and the Netherlands, but I'm not quite sure about that. It retailes for about 4 dollars.

#3 Kiko - 332

Here he is, my beautiful light purple nailpolish. I'm not sure about the price, but it will be around 5 dollars or so. Let me know if you know the exact price, thanks a lot!

#4 OPI - Goldeneye (James Bond Collection)

Here is my alltime favourite for some awesome party's. It's a beautiful golden glitter polish. Hmm I'm so in love with this one! It also retailes for 13 dollars.

#5 NYC - Faithful Fuschia

And to end with, there is a beautiful fuschia. Fuschia is a basic color that can't be missing in your nailpolish collection. This one is very affordable, but holds very well. It retailes for 3 dollars.
