Black & White Stamping - Reloaded

Hi dear readers !

Remember last month, I did this black and white stamping for the Facebook challenge:

I liked it, but on the third day I wanted to try something with it. I topped it with one coat of Beyu 209 and OOOH the manicure became nothing but amazing !

This it how it looked after one coat of BeYu209 and one coat of Seche Vite:

I was totally in love with the subtle red/gold glow on the black parts and the sparkly bright purple on the white parts.

That's another good reason to get a bottle of BeYu 209 (or Max Factor Fantsay Fire, it will be a bit more blue but will act the same way over black and white; or even the Real Unicorn Pee Clarins 230 if you can afford it), I'm sure I'll use it over black and white manicures many other times :)

BeYu 209 is definitely a must have and I'll try to get some other bottles on my next trip to Germany :)

Do you like how I changed my b/w manicure ?

Thanks for reading :)

Have a nice day ^^

Beyu 325 & Stars

Hi dear readers :)

I recently subscribe on the US version of Hellocoton ! I've been on the french version for a while, but I recently discovered there was an international website, so here I am ... If you want to follow me there, here's my page:

Here's a manicure I did a few weeks ago, when my interest for stamping came back suddenly :)
I used one of my favorite designs: stars from Bundle Monster plate BM20 ! It's really a simple design but I love star patterns a LOT ! :D

I used two coats of BeYu 325 for the base. "325" is a pretty dark gray with a teal shimmer. I didn't swatch it alone but believe me, it's gorgeous on it's own :)
I stamped the stars from BM20 with China Glaze Adore, and did an accent nail with my one and only Butter London polish, Henley Regatta, which is a beautiful polish made of blue and turquoise thin but dense glitters suspended in a clear base.

That was my first experience with Butter London and I loved it a lot ! As I said, the glitters are dense and you can make it opaque in two coats. The bad point is the price, I paid 16€ in Germany for this baby ... That was a special occasion but I'm not going to get a lot of those polishes ... But I was soooo weak when I saw this one in his rack, all alone and crying ! xD

That's all for today, I hope you like it :) Please let me know ... I enjoy reading your comments ;)

Have a nice day :)

Layering experiment with Beyu 209

Hi again dear readers :)

When I first read about Beyu 209 being a possible dupe for Unicorn pee aka Clarins 230, I totally wanted it. Clarins 230 is impossible to find in my country, and I don't want to pay totally crazy prices for it on Ebay (the cheapest I found today is sold 70$ ...)

So, on my summer trip to Barcelona, I found it at Douglas (we either don't have Douglas in Belgium) and jumped immediatly on it !
For my first use, I wanted to imitate a look I already seen and love, the great layering Jeanette did for her guest post on Also Knows As !

 For this layering, here's what I used ...
- base coat (Gosh base & Top Coat)
- Essence Out of my Mind (2 coats)
- Nfu Oh 54 (1 coat but not really visible on the pics)
- China Glaze Glam (1 coat)
- Beyu 209 (2 coats)
- Seche Vite

That's a total of eight coats of polish lol ... My nails were so thick after all that !

I especially love how the glitters look ! Beyu 209 is a magical shade :)
Now, be ready for some picture spam :p

 

I took m pics with different lights so you can see all the reflects in it ... If you can get your hands on it, don't hesitate, and buy two bottles of it !
It actually costs around 6€ at Douglas stores and last time I went to Germany, it was still available.

Note that there are two versions of it, and one has not all that magical stuff in it. So be sure to read Jeanette's post about it to know which one to buy :)

Do you like it ?

Oh, this morning I've noticed I reached 1k followers on GFC ... Thank you all, my fellow readers :D
Of course, I'll have a giveaway to celebrate it ... But i'm waiting for some novelty from Catrice and Essence for the prize :D

Have a nice day :)
