NOTD - Eyeko Vampira Polish

Eyeko's polishes come in such cute bottles! Today I'm wearing Vampira Polish, 'For Gothic Nails', and I absolutely love it! It's a black base, filled with pretty little red glitters:

This is two coats, and that's enough to get an opaque coverage, which is pretty nice in my opinion!
I did use a topcoat on top to get a bit more shine, because on it's own, it's not shiny enough for my taste ;)
Here's a close-up of my ring finger, to show you all the red-glitter-goodness:

Isn't this just the best fitting polish for my blog layout? lol! :)

If you don't own this polish yet, and wish to order it, you can do so here, on Eyeko's website. They ship for free within Europe, which is awesome, and if you use my ambassador code E10776 on checkout, they even throw in a free gift for you :)

NOTD - TB Edition

In honour of the True Blood finale (which sneaky me has already watched, but will watch again with The Man tonight when he's home from work), I decided to go with a bloodred polish today.
I tried to do some stamping with the Essence stamping kit I bought recently, but I seriously suck (lol) at it, so I decided to go for just the red polish.
I chose Catrice's Caught on the Red Carpet:

This is three coats. It's quite a sheer polish, so three coats is kinda necessary, but since the colour is pretty, I don't mind that much ;)

Have you guys watched the True Blood finale yet? I for one can't wait for season 4 to start, lol!

NOTD - Catrice Caught on the Red Carpet + CG Matte Magic

I don't know about this. I adore matte black, but this matte bloodred, I dunno.
This is Catrice's Caught on the Red Carpet, with China Glaze Matte Magic as topcoat. To be perfectly honest, I think I like this pretty red colour better when worn with a glossy topcoat.

I've messed it up a bit anyways, because looking at my ring finger, I should have chosen for 3 coats of the Catrice polish instead of 2. Oh well, it's Monday, always the crappiest day of the week ;)
How about you guys, what do you think of this combination, and is Monday your 'blegh'-day as well?

NOTD - China Glaze Branding Iron

This is one of the colours from the 2008 fall collection Rodeo Diva. Sucker for vampy colours as I am, I fell instantly in love with this colour when I bought it last July at Enchantra, a Dutch cosmetics webshop.
I ordered 4 colours from this collection then, and those were my first China Glaze polishes. I now love this brand, as these polishes apply very smoothly, and 2 layers are usually enough. So I'll probably be ordering more very soon!

Branding Iron is a beautiful deep, shimmery burgundy red, and this is exactly what I think of when I think about vampy colours. In some lights this colour reminds me of the red glass used in some stained glass church windows. Beautiful!
