NOTD - Bourjois 1 seconde n°24 Black

I couldn't find a name for this polish on the bottle, and when I looked on the Bourjois website, this colour was just listed as n°24, so that's what we'll go with. It's a very pretty black polish with green and purple shimmer.
It's a bit on the sheer side though, so on below pics I'm wearing three coats. It did dry pretty fast, which is always nice.

The shimmer isn't too visible in above pic, so I cropped it to a close-up of my ring finger:

Here the green shimmer is quite visible, and you can see the purple shimmer at the edges. Pretty!
I bought this polish at a Dutch drugstore called Etos earlier this week, along with a Khôl & Contour Minéral eye pencil in the colour Vert mousse, because Etos had all Bourjois 2 for 1 this week.

EOTD - Brown and Black

This was actually yesterday's EOTD, and I photographed it about 10 minutes before my driving instructor picked me up for this week's driving lesson. I didn't check the photos then, which is very much unlike me, but anyhow, that's why they're not the best pics ever. Sorry!
I used the colours from the Catrice LE Caramé Smokey Eyes Kit for this.

And a shot with my glasses on:

Products used:
Catrice LE Caramé Smokey Eyes Kit
Etos Eyeshadow Base
Etos kohl liner in black
Etos volume mascara in black

All in all a nice enough look for a driving lesson, if I may say so myself :)

Robyn's First Giveaway

The incredibly lovely Robyn over at Starring Indie is hosting her first giveaway! And the prizes are so nice!
Have a look at them here:

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 - China Glaze Wagon Trail

Now, let me start by saying that this polish did not want to get photographed today. It's very crappy weather outside, so I couldn't get the lighting right. I tried my best to show you the black/golden goodness that is Wagon Trail though :)

This is two coats, with the Fast Forward Top Coat. Wagon Trail is a blackish base with golden shimmer in it. Beautiful colour, I absolutely love it! It's from the 2008 fall collection Rodeo Diva.
Here's a close-up of my ring finger, where the golden shimmer shows a bit more:

Pretty, isn't it?

EOTD - Purple

This is my first attempt at the whole EOTD-thing, so I'd appreciate it if you're gentle with me, I'm still a noob ;)
Products used:
- Etos Eyeshadow base
- Sleek circus palette, both purple colours and a bit of black
- Chanel Inimitable Intense mascara black (sample I got with this month's Glamour Mag)
