Action MAX make up nail polish review

Action is a store whit a big assortment in all kinds of stuff. They sell: food, clothes, paint,  thing you need at school, pots and pans, toys, cosmetics and much more.
Action has it's own make up brand named MAX make up. It's really cheap. For example Action has mascaras for 1 euro, lip gloss for 75 euro cents, eye shadow pallets which costs 1,69 euro. I bought four nail polishes because the colors where really nice and the polishes only costs 49 euro cents each. That's really cheap.
So now what I want to know, are these good nail polishes? Lets find out in  the review.

The four nail polishes


from left to right: Deep sea, Peach, Freso blue and Pink candy














I know it costs a lot of package material, the way the nail polishes are packed. But It's also a bit of an asset. You can know for sure nobody has used the product before you use it.

All of the four nail polishes are applied in two layers. I used a base coat. I did not use a top coat.

Deep sea
I really do like mint green. this is a really nice pastel mint green
color















Peach
A pink-soft orange peach color. looks a bit like a soft pink coral
color to me. A sunny summer color to me
















Fresco blue
A really special blue color.  A sort of metallic blue but also not.
I absolutely like this one. this one also applied  as best.
















Pink Candy
definitely it is candy pink. A bright pink color. It's a gorgeous
pink color. will wear this one really often i think





















I'm absolutely satisfied with this nail polishes. The colors are bright and high in coverage. Also these polishes do not give stripes. For that little amount of 49 cents I will buy  buy more MAX make up nail polishes in the future.

Essence Ready for boarding limited edition nail polish review

Essence has a new limited edition line, named: Ready for boarding. It contains: eye pencils, nail polish, eye shadow pallet, lip & cheek creme, a luggage label, hand & body wipes and a make up bag. Actually all you need when you go on holiday.



I did not buy the whole collection. I skipped the eye pencils because eye never use them. I also did not buy the luggage label.

From the nailpolishes I bought two bottles, the rest of them was already sold out. I've got 02 beauty on tour, which is a pink coral. The other one is 04 via airmail! a blue nailpolish. I also bought the peel off base coat 01 carry me home.

This is the base coat. It's created to peel it off, so you do not need any nail polishes remover to get your nail polish of your nails anymore. When I opened the bottle, saw the texture ans smelled it, it reminded me of the  glue we used at school when i was young. Maybe it is something like that, because you have to let it dry for ten minutes after you have put it on your nails.

The base coat getting dry. 

The bottle. And as you can see on my nails. When the base coat is dry, it gets translucent 

The coral one: 02 beauty on tour

The blue on: 04 via airmail!




Peeling of your nail polish while wearing the base coat, you can just peel it off. If it will not come off your fingers in once, just scratch with another nail on it.
Also, If this base coat is not available anymore, Essence included it in their new collection which will be available in September 2012.

Nailpolishes are 1,49euro each
Peel off base coat: 1,79 euro

Essence nail colour 3 review

Essence has released a new nail polish collection. The collection exists of duo colors. You can use the colors separated or layer them on your nails. I Bought: 02 shopping trip in Soho

At the moment you can buy them in 6(actually 12)colours which you can see on the website

First the packing. This nail polish comes in cylinder shaped bottles connected with a middle part, the brushes. If find the packaging very useful. Because of the cylinder shape and also the right thickness it is very comfy to paint your nails.

Colors: I like the colors. The are very bright. And do all contain a glitterpolish in the bottle on the other side.

Price: not expensive. they are €2,79.

Review Essence nail colour 3: 02 shopping trip in Soho


In this photo, the pink nailpolish named: shopping trip in soho. This is a shimmering pink colour. I have to layers on my nails. It's a nice pink colour


In this photo I've putted the glitter polish named: party all noght long on top of the pink colour. This turns the colour into an dark colour of pink with a little sparked. Like a lovely Barbie Pink. Personally i think the sparkles could have made a little bit more present. But it still gives a nice effect.

I was curious about how it would look the other way around(first sparkle layer then the pink polish. Since I already painted my own nails, The next photo's are my moms nails.


This is the party all night long polish. Hope it is visible enough because of the flashlight. It is an semitransparent polish in a dark pink.



On top of the sparkle layer, I've putted the pink layer, shopping trip in Soho. It has quite the same effect as the first combination. but now you will get a shiny dark pink.

I think I will buy some more of this polishes since I do like them.

Nails Beauty night

Good looking nails are like your own business card. When I was young I did bite my nails. For that reason i started to use nailpolish. Something that turned out in an addiction to nailpolish. I have about 90+ bottles. I bought a new nail file. This one is a six in one. I also bought nail drops. This stuff helps to let the nails dry very quickly.

I take a lot of care about my nails. So here it is my nailpolish routine in pictures.

This is the file. Easy to use because of all the steps are written on the file. And you only hace to use on product to manicure your nails. It is from Essence and costs about € 2,00.



This are the quick dry drops. Also form Essnce and €1,99. Apply with the pipette on your painted nails.



For my nail routine I use the products in the picture. From left to right you see: the base coat(MAX from action, i tought it was 49 or 65 cents and is a good product), Catrice nailpolish, with a fab name: Marilyn and me, Quick dry top coat form Essence(it turned pink from my red nailpolishes), naildrops from Essence and the File from Essence.



The nailpolish Marilyn and me. It is a red with red sparkles(€ 2,49 by Catrice).


The result on my nails:



Some tips for your nails

- when you use a nailbuffer file, you can use the shine side when you want to. the surface file only once in some what of 3 weeks.
- for the length of the nails, file them with a fine file and in one direction
- Use nailpolish on clean nails.
- always use a base coat. as you can see from this article, they don't have to cost much to be good ;).
- use two layers of polish
- use a top coat to seal the polish
