Mini drugstore haul!

So today I spent a day at a German drugstore called 'dm'. I love this drugstore, and I decided to do a mini haul to show you what I bought. 
Before I start, I want to say that the new years eve nail design has been cancelled because I totally failed at the design. I totally messed it up!

So the first thing I got is a bottle of nail polish remover because I recently ran out. It is by 'ebelin' and it is acetone-free. 


Next I picked up two lip balms by a line called 'Baby Lips' by 'maybelline'. I have been looking for these but they don't sell them  in Istanbul. The one on the left is called 'hydrate' and the one on the right is called 'peach kiss'.


Then I bought a bottle of the new Katy Perry perfume called 'Killer Queen'. I have been looking for this perfume for a while because I wanted to smell it! I was so excited when I saw it and I thought it smells quite good so I bought a bottle! It smells really sweet but has a fruity touch to it! Plus, I think the packaging and the bottle is soooooooo cute! 



Then, I bought two bottles of nail polish, perfect for new year! The first one is called 'go dangerous!' by a German brand called 'P2'. It is a black polish with rainbow coloured glitter!


The second polish is by another German brand called 'catrice' and the polish is called 'I'm dynamite' and it is a very pretty clear polish with different sized silver glitter. It is a really chunky glitter.


The last thing I got is not from the drugstore but I wanted to mention it. I am a Hunger Games fan and when I saw this, I had to get it. It is Katniss' mockingjay pin! I got this from a book store. They had the complete trilogy along with the pin!


It is kinda weird because in German the movie is called 'The Tribute of Panem' instead of 'Hunger Games'! I really don't know why!

So i hope you liked this mini drugstore haul and I'm sorry that I couldn't do a nail design today! I have a really cool nail design for you though! Check out 'Missjenfabulous' new video to see an amazing but easy new years eve nail design! 
I want to know: How are you going to celebrate New years eve? I am going to stay with my grandmother while my parents and my sister are going to go to a party at a friend's house. I don't want to go because I would be the oldest and it would be sooooooo boring! My grandma said that we would go the the old castle that is on top of a mountain (it is a beautiful landscape) and watch the fireworks! But only if the weather is nice! 

So how are you going to celebrate new year? Let me know in the comments!

Last minute Christmas nails!

I said I was going to do a Christmas nail design using the polishes from the advent calendar, that are the most Christmassy! Here it is...


For the thumb, I did some sparkle to represent holiday lights! I used the sequins from yesterday's door called 'mistletoe magic'. I sprinkled the sequins on top of 'bright green' by 'leciel paris'.


For the pointer/index finger, I did a Christmas sweater design! I used the red from December 2nd called 'boidoir' and a white polish for the details called 'blanc' by 'essie'.


For the ring finger, I painted a Santa Clause! I used the red from December 2nd and the white by 'essie'. Then I used a black nail art pen by 'Barry M' for the eyes and the pink polish from December 5th called 'hoopla' for the nose.


For the ring finger, I did a Christmas tree. It wouldn't be a Christmas design without a Christmas tree! I used the white polish as a base color. Then, I did some dots in different sizes, in the shape of the tree. The dark green is called 'bright green' by 'leciel paris', the light green is by 'Astor' but the name of the polish is unknown. The red is the one from December 2nd and the yellow dot for the star is called 'loop the loop' from December 13th.


For the pinkie, I did some holly! I used the polish from December 7th for the base color. It is called 'fit for a queen'. I used the red from December 2nd to make three dots and 'bright green' by 'leciel paris' for the leaves!


I hope you liked this design and MERRY CHRISTMAS! I'll see you in my next post!

Advent calendar 'unboxing' - December 24th!!

It is finally Christmas and the last door is opened! Here it is...


Today's polish is called 'talent scout' and it is a deep purple! Let's see how it looks on my nail...


This is ONE coat! I really like this color and I have one similar polish that I did not bring! It is called 'deep purple' by 'Leciel Paris' and I have a picture of it on my Instagram account.
So that was the last door on this advent calendar! Overall, I have one thing to complain about. I did not like that when I opened the doors, they were so easy to rip and once they ripped, you could see the color next to it! I'll show you...


One door even came off completely! 


So that was something I didn't like about this calendar! I hope you liked it and stay tuned for the upcoming nail design! 
Merry Christmas!

Advent calendar 'unboxing' - December 22nd!!

Remember how I told you there were two surprise gifts? Today I got the 2nd gift! Let's take a look...


These are three glitter nail files! The side with the glitter is just for fun, and the other side is used for filing! Here is a picture...


I wanted to show you how well they work on a fake nail, but unfortunately I don't have any right now, since I just arrived here in Germany yesterday! But I can tell you that these are great for keeping in your purse in case one of your nail breaks while you are not at home! 

I just wanted to tell you that on the 24th December, I will do a last minute Christmas nail design, right after I post the unboxing of the last door! For this nail design, I will try to use the colors from the advent calendar that I think are the most Christmassy!
I hope you liked this post and I'll see you tomorrow!

Advent calendar 'unboxing' - December 18th!!

We are almost getting to the end of this advent calendar! It is time for door no.18! Here it is...


This polish is called 'knickebockerglory' and it kind of reminds me of raspberry jam. The polish is much darker in real life! The photo is bad. Here it is on my nail...


I really like this color and I have nothing like it at all! Here is a close up...


Ok, ok. I know the photo is bad! I hope you enjoyed this post and I'm excited for tomorrow's post!

Advent calendar 'unboxing' - December 17th!!

Hello,

So I must say that I personally don't like today's polish. Not because the formula is bad or something, just because I don't really like the color. Let's take a look...


Today's polish is called 'members only' and it isn't really the type of colors that I wear! Let's see how it looks on my nail...


It is a nude kind of pinkish peach color. I don't personally like it because it looks a bit like your nails were that color! It doesn't look as if you were wearing polish. Here is a close up...


How did you like this color? Let me know! I'd love some feedback!

Advent calendar 'unboxing' - December 16th!!

Hello,

Today's color is one of my favorite so far! Let's take a look...


This color is called 'chinchilla' and I think it is the perfect color for fall! Let's see how it looks on my nail...


Here is a close up...


I really like this polish! It is grey but almost blue. I really think that this the perfect color for fall!

Advent calendar 'unboxing' - December 15th!!

Hey,

It is time to open to open door no.15! Let's take a look...



Today I got a glitter. Just plain glitter that you sprinkle on top of wet polish. It is called 'glitter all the way' and I really like it! I sprinkled it on top of 'black is back' by 'essence'. Here it is on my nail...


Here is a close up...


I really like the colors! They kinda remind me of holiday lights. I hope you like it too.

Advent calendar 'unboxing' - December 14th!!

Hello,

So it is time to open door no.14! Here it is...


Today's polish is called 'party shoes' and I really love it! It is a gold, blue, pink and green glitter polish! Here it is on my nail...


I couldn't manage to take a good photo of the color. I painted the glitter on top of 'blanc' by 'Essie' which is just a normal white polish. Here is a better photo...


I know the photos are really bad but the polish is so sparkly, the camera can't get all the colors properly! I really love this polish a totally recommend it!

Advent calendar 'unboxing' - December 13th!!

Hey,

First of all, it is Friday the 13th! Do you believe in Friday 13th? It's also time to open door no.13. Here we go...


Today's polish is a pretty pastel yellow called 'loop the loop'. Here it is on my nail...


Here is a close up...


What you're seeing is two coats! I think it's pretty opaque for a yellow polish! I have nothing like it and I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did writing it for you!
