Video: Haul/Shoplog

Ik heb al zo lang geen video gemaakt! Had weer een aantal lakke binnengekregen afgelopen paar weken en ik wilde graag weer een video maken! 1+1=2 en ik denk dat dat genoeg zegt;)

I haven't made a vid for a long time. I got some new polishes and I wanted to make a vid! 1+1=2 and I think that says enough;)

Enjoy!

Back to swatching: OPI - Metallic 4 Life

Ik heb nog steeds twee lakje te swatchen van de Nicki Minaj Collection van OPI die ik in mijn bezit heb! Did It On 'Em en Metallic 4 Life.
Vandaag heb ik een swatch van Metallic 4 Life voor jullie!

I still have two polishes to swatch of the Nicki Minaj Collection that I have in my possession! Those are Did It On 'Em and Metallic 4 Life.
Today I have a swatch of Metallic 4 Life for you!

Het was echt moeilijk om een goede foto te krijgen van dit lakje. Dat komt door de zwarte lak en al die zilveren glitters!
Op die foto heb ik twee lagen Metallic 4 Life gelakt!

It was hard to get a good picture of this polish. That's because of the black polish en all those silver glitters!
I did two coats of Metallic 4 Life on that picture!

Ik vind dit lakje wel erg mooi! Helemaal voor speciale gelegenheden, want dit lakje schittert de hele dag door!

I like this polish very much! You can use it for special occasions, 'cause this polish shines all day long!

Wat vind jij van dit lakje?
What do you think of this polish?

New Tab: Webshops

Hey guys!

Pas zag ik op iemands blog die een tab had gecreeërd met allemaal webshops waar zij haar nagellakken kocht. Weet even niet meer van wie die blog was, maar zodra ik het weer weet, dan zet ik een link bij Reacties van deze post.
Die lijst met webshops vond ik wel erg handig! Ik wilde ook wel zo'n lijst dus die heb ik voor jullie even gemaakt!
Je kunt 'm vinden naast het tabje About Me.

A while ago I saw a tab on someone's blog with some webshops where she bought her nail polishes. I can't remember which blog and from who it was, but as soon as I know it I'll put the link in the Comments of this post.
I thought that kinda list was so smart! I wanted to have such a list so I've made one!
You can find it next to the tab About Me.


Als je nog vragen hebt over een bepaalde webshop, vraag het gerust! Laat een reactie achter of mail me: nailartandmorebyiris@gmail.com

If you have any questions about a sertain webshop, feel free to ask! Leave a comment or email me: nailartandmorebyiris@gmail.com

Spring Collections

Ik heb weer eens iets anders voor jullie dan swatches of hauls!
Op facebook had ik al een beetje verklapt waar mijn volgende post over zou gaan. Ik ga het vandaag hebben over de verschillende lente collecties die je op dit moment al kunt kopen of nog uit komen!

I have something else for you guys than swatches or hauls!
I told a bit on facebook about my next post. Today I'm gonna talk about some spring collections which you already can buy or still have to come out!

Toen ik de collecties bekeek, zag ik al meteen dat er bepaalde kleuren waren die zowat in elke collectie voorkomen.

When I looked at the collection, I saw immediately that there were some colors which almost every collection have.

Let's take a look at the collections!

Essie - Navigate Her Collection
Spring Collection 2012

In de Navigate Her Collection van Essie zijn er felle en wat zachtere kleuren terug te vinden. Veel roze en rode tinten. Mij lijkt Navigate Her, de groene, het mooist!

You can see that there are some bright and some softer colors in the Navigate Her Collection of Esse. A lot of pink and red tones. I think Navigate Her, the green one, is the prettiest!

Zoya - True Collection
Spring Collection 2012

Dit is de Zoya True Collection. In deze collectie zijn er alleen maar zachte kleuren. Twee paarse, een groene, een blauwe en twee nude kleuren. Wat ik nou zo erg jammer vind, is dat Zoya nu weer twee nude kleuren uitbrengt, want in de vorige collectie brachten ze alleen maar nude kleuren uit.
Ik vind dit eigenlijk meer een herfst collectie qua kleuren. Als ik aan de lente denk, dan denk ik meer aan wat fellere kleuren.
Al met al vind ik het wel een mooie collectie, maar ik had er weel meer van verwacht.

So this is the Zoya True Collection. This collection contens nothing but soft colors. Two purple colors, one green, one blue and two nude colors. This collection disappoints me a bit because Zoya launched in their last collection only nude colors and now there are again two nude colors. I think it's a pitty..
These colors fit perfectly in a autumn collection. When I think of spring, I think of brighter colors than these.
Eventually I think it's a beautyfull collection but I expected more.

Dior - Spring Garden Party Collection
Spring Collection 2012

Deze twee lakjes van Dior horen bij de Spring Garden Party Collection. Een paarse crème lak en een groene shimmer. Ik zou deze allebei best graag willen hebben, maar ze zijn zo duur! Ik weet zeker dat er van allebei dupes te vinden zijn.

These two nail polishes of Dior belong to the Spring Garden Collection. A purple creme polish and a green shimmer. I would like to have both of these polishes, but they're so expensive! Know for sure that there are dupes to find of both of them.

Chanel - Spring Collection
Spring Collection 2012

Deze kleurjes van Chanel zijn echte lente kleurtjes! Niet te fel en ook net geen pastelkleuren! Die oranje nagellak en die rode zou ik best wel willen hebben!
Chanel brengt altijd wel mooie nagellak uit.

These colors of Chanel are real spring colors! Not too bright and they're not pastel colors either. Would like to have that orange polish and the red one!
Chanel brings always gorgeous polishes out.

OPI - Holland Collection
Spring Collection 2012

Oké, dit wordt echt MIJN LIEVELINGS collectie ever. Natuurlijk omdat het de HOLLAND Collection is van OPI! En die namen, ge-wel-dig!
De kleuren vind ik wel goed verdeeld, een paar felle en een paar neutrale kleuren.
Klik hier om mijn post te lezen over de Holland Collection!

Oké, this will be MY FAVOURITE collection ever.
Obviously because it's the HOLLAND Collection of OPI and I'm Dutch;)
Love the names! And the colors are well divided, a couple of bright colors and some neutral colors.
Click here if you want to read my post that I wrote (in Dutch) about the Holland Collection.


Dus, als ik deze collectie zie, dan valt mij op dat paars, lichtgroen en oranje veel terug komt in de collecties. Op zich wel mooie lente kleurtjes!
Ik kan helaas niet alle collecties aanschaffen, want dat kost me te veel geld, haha.
Wel ga ik erg mijn best doen om de Holland Collection van OPI te bemachtigen!

So, when I look at the collection, I notice that purple colors, green and orange are the most used colors by the brands. In itself beautiful spring colors!
Unfortunately I can't purchase all the collections. That's just too much money for me, lol!
I am gonna try my best to get all the polishes of the Holland Collection!

Stay tuned, because the Holland Collection will be out soon!!

Oh, and today it's my birthday!!! I thought of doing a give away, but I'll probably do that in summer! That's someting I look forward to!

Thanks for reading!

English posts

Hey guys!

Since January 1st I'm doing my posts in English.
I asked some Dutch people how they felt about it and what I've mostly heard is that they had to adjust at the idea that I write and speak in English.
I know I've got some younger followers and they don't understand much of what I try to say.

That's why I've decided to write my posts in Dutch AND English.
I know, that's gonna cost me a lot of time to post a blogmessage but I've got to keep my followers happy!
I'm gonna do my vids in Dutch with English subtitling.

So guys, I hope you all understand why I'm doing this! That you may keep on following me!:D

Thanks for reading!
Bedankt voor het lezen!

Nail Art with OPI - Fly and Did It On 'Em

I did a tape nail art! The colors might not go very well together but I really like this nail art just because of the colors!
Well, this was the first time that I did this tape nail art. I didn't turned out perfect, that's why I did a silver line between the two colors.
Got to practice tape nail art LOL.

NOTD OPI - Fly

I couldn't wait to swatch one of my Nicki Minaj polishes so today I swatched Fly for you!

I started out with two coats of this polish. I thought the polish was a bit thin. Maybe I haven't shaken it enough? I don't know. Does anyone has the same problem?
Anyway, just put two coats of the polish on your nails and it will look so pretty!

This is a greenish blue color. It's also one of the three creme polishes of the collection.
I haven't got this kind of color yet, but it's stunning!

What do you think of this polish?
Does anyone of you have one of the polishes of the Nicki Minaj Collection?

New OPI polishes!

Woooow.
It's been a while since I've posted something on my blog.
I know, I know, I'm so sorry guys.
Please forgive me! I hope you can while reading this post!

A couple of months ago, I posted something about the new collections of OPI. You can read the post here if you like. The post is written in Dutch.
In that post, I told you guys about the Nicki Minaj Collection. It came out this month!!

I have three of the six polishes of the Nicki Minaj Collection! I think that these three polishes are the prettiest of the collection!

I've got Fly, Did It On 'Em and Metallic 4 Life.

F.l.t.r. : Fly, Did It On 'Em and Metallic 4 Life

Fly is a sea green polish. It also looks like turqoise or jade! Anyway, it's a gorgeous greenish blue!

OPI - Fly

Did It On 'Em has something of a neon yellow but is has a green undertone in the polish. The green makes the color less intensive. I think this polish would be great for people with a tinted skintone!

OPI - Did It On 'Em

Metallic 4 Life has a black base en lots of silver glitters. Big chunky glitters and a lot smaller glitters.

OPI - Metallic 4 Life

I really want to try these polishes!
I love, love the colors!

Stay tuned for NOTD's and nail art with these polishes!

NOTD - OPI Dim Sum Plum + Teenage Dream

For today I have a mani that I wanted to wear on new year's eve, but I was too busy with work and I had to go to the church so the nail polish haden't time to dry.
That's why I'm showing you guys the mani right now.

Two weeks ago I got my order from Beauty Maniac. They used to sell OPI but not any more. Don't ask me why.. They had a huge sale so I bought some OPI polishes including OPI - Dim Sum Plum!

It's a beautiful purple color! I lacquered two coats of Dim Sum Plum on my nails.

I loved the plum color, but for new year's eve I thought that the polish was too plain. So I lacquered Teenage Dream over Dim Sum Plum and the result was amazing!
It looked like sugar on pink candy or something, haha. Really looked cute! Especially with the holograpic glitters!
