Puh!

Fast hätte das nicht mehr hingehauen: Erst streiken die Deutschen, dann bauen die Schweizer und sperren irgendwelche Zugstrecken ab. Doch Nina (@mymaynails) und ich haben den weiten Weg trotzdem auf uns genommen, denn: Deutsche Drogerien! Habt ihr schon mal zwei Mädels auf Lackentzug gesehen? Kein schöner Anblick...

Hallo Mädels,

Es ist wieder Samstag und dank der ganzen Blogaktionen erhält alles ein bisschen mehr Struktur... Heute mit einem ganz einfachen Design für die Mädchenzeit, es lebe Simplicity und so. Wieder mal bei Lackfein angefixt musste ich mir den Essence nail art tattoo pen holen und promt fiel mir ein, dass ich vor Jahren mal einen in weiss hatte - und immer noch habe. Gute 3 Jahre später funktioniert das alte Teil immer noch einwandfrei.

It's Saturday once again and thanks to all the blog challenges, I'm slowly working out a blogging schedule. For today's Mädchenzeit I have a very easy mani for you, long live simplicity and stuff. Once again monkey saw (over at Lackfein), monkey did. I had to pick up the Essence nail art tattoo pen in black and then remembered, I once owned a white version of it - and still do. More than 3 years later the pen still works fine.

Hallo ihr Lieben,

Na, wer erinnert sich noch an diese cracked/shattered Lacke? Ich sehe sie nur noch vereinzelt in den Läden, auf Nägeln gar nicht mehr... Ich dachte es wäre Zeit diese Lacke im Rahmen der Topper Time wieder etwas ins Rampenlicht zu rücken, auch wenn sich die Meinungen darüber sehr stark spalten.

Does anyone remember cracked/shattered polishes? I only come across a few in stores and barely see them on nails anymore... I thought it would be time to show these babies some love again, even if they're a strong love-it-or-hate-it type of polish.

Hello,

So I finally, finally, FINALLY managed to put this together! I wanted this to be a little more than just a haul post, thus I tried to add as much info about where to find stuff and get around London. A bit like a guide to London for nail polish addicts, if you know what I mean. I'm not native to London, but I think if I, a mere tourist, could find these places, chances are you'll find them just fine as well.

First is the most obvious you will want to visit and that's the drugstore. London, and I'm guessing the rest of the UK, has two big drugstore chains which are Boots and Superdrug. You'll find them anywhere, really. In Victoria Station alone there are two Boots and a Superdrug! And you'll love them. They have most of the big brands there and I found offers on pretty much all of them: 3 for 2, buy 2 for a special price or get a free product, buy one and get the second 50% off... So I'll just walk you through the brands and offers I found there.

Hi everybody,

It's that time of the month again, it's Topper Time! I didn't realize it's been a month already, I was so caught up with the OMD2 challenge I forgot any other nail art... I really enjoy doing this every month, gives me a chance to dig through all my toppers and actually use some untrieds, like this time.

Hi,

It is now day 3 of the OMD2 Nail Art Challenge and today's theme is: Lavender! And now, I didn't pick a polish with the day's theme in it's name. C-c-combobreaker!

Instead, my base is Ice Ice Baby by H&M which isn't a very Summer appropriate name, but nevermind that...
