Beauty: Kiko "raspberry" nail polish




"Kiko makeup Milano" is an Italian professional cosmetics brand that features a range of makeup, face and body products for a very reasonable price.
"Be What You Want to Be." is its vision of Beauty. Through its extraordinarily wide and diversified range of products, KIKO allows everyone to express their own personality with custom-made products. I like this concept very much! When I was in Barcelona I bought this raspberry colour and a fuchsia one. The prodycts don't have actual names, but I think this colour comes close to a raspberry colour. I regret I didn't buy more, they're fabulous..

Beauty : Lavender Cupcake



I've recently been trying out some different nail polish brands and I'm pleasantly surprised of the quality of some low budget nail polishes! I tested this one from NYC and I love it. The colour is called Lavender Cupcake (what a delicious name) and it's supposed to hold for 7 days. I've just been wearing it for three days now but it has hardly chipped. I've also bought a bright orange one (Spring street), which I will be testing in a few days.

Beauty: Side braid tutorial

This is a nice alternative to a normal side braid! A piece of advice, when you straighten your hair first the braiding will go a lot easier (don't make my mistake ;) ). Hope you have fun with this.

Beauty: Twisted hair tutorial

Sometimes I just don't have the time to finalize the hairdo I want. 
This new twisting trend is so easy, finished in less than five minutes and secured for a whole day.

Beauty: Nailpolish crush




For some time now I was looking for a new nailpolish. I wanted to try something different than the usual red or pink. This nailpolish from Catrice caught my eye when I was shopping for some beautyproducts. And I must say, I really like it! To me this colour looks like the grey of a pencil.
The colour is called 'Captain Sparrow's boat', which I find a bit strange. I don't see the connection between the name and the colour, do you? 

Because it was so low priced, I was a little sceptical about the quality, but I was pleasantly suprised!
The coverage is perfect after the second layer and after two days it hardly chipped. I Think I might buy some more nailpolishes from Catrice in the future :)

Beauty: Nude nail tutorial

Sometimes when you have some free time, you want to do something for yourself. What I like to do is a manicure. Here's one inspired by the trends for spring 2012 (nudes are back). And, it matches the snow outside.
