Essence: pink nail polish collection

Here are my pink nail polish collection from Essence in order of the Breast cancer awareness month.

Nail polish haul

I thought that it would be nice to share this with you all since I also post nail arts on my blog. I am not a nail art artist (yet), I have no degree or certificate, but I am doing this just as a hobby. You can read all about my love for nail polish here. Now let me show you what nail polishes I purchased lately.

Dinner and cocktails

Just when I thought my Friday would be calm. I am so glad that I could meet up with some friends for dinner and a drink. It was really needed because we haven't seen each other for months. 

Makeup shopping

I've told you this once and I will tell you again.  I am very very bad at doing my own makeup. But I am so glad I have heroines in my life. My eternal gratitude goes to my best friends and YouTubers who teach me all the tips and tricks. I now know what I will need to transform my face with makeup. Girls thank you so much!

After walking around without any makeup for two and a half months I had had enough. I will and shall teach myself how to do my own makeup. 

Rainy September

Hello everyone! And hello September. Time flies when you're enjoying fun times during the Summer. Or shall I say Autumn. We’ve had so many fluctuations with the weather. One day I could enjoy a beautiful summer day and the other days I just wanted to hide myself from the rain.

Catching up with friends

Hi everyone,

I feel a lot better now compared with last weekend and I'm glad it didn't last for long.

Purple, black and white

Hey sweeties. Today I went for darker colours because the weather looks so bad. The last few days we've had nothing but rain. It is like 28°C, but you will know that won't last long because of the dark clouds.

There are lots of people walking around without a coat, just like me. Unfortunately we also ran through the rain without a coat. So here I am

Fashion haul

I'm glad I made some time to go shopping during the sales month and of course during my stay in London. It was just me, myself and that 50% of sale. I'm normally used to sales that starts with 10% and then goes up to 30%, 50%,70% and 75% but some stores already started with 50% en 70%. I also purchased clothes that weren't on sale. And I want you to know that all these clothes and accessories are not bought in one day.

Dotticure

I was so happy when I received my dotting pens a couple of years ago.  My very first nail art was therefore a dotticure (manicure + dots).

Dip & Dot

Hey sweeties!
In today's manicure I'll tell you about my very first nail art tool which is a dotting pen. Not everyone has a dotting pen at home and that's why I will show you what items you can use to make one.

London day ten 28/06 || Goodbye for now

Okay so clubbing and packing didn't happen last night. We were so tired that we just watched TV and slept. I still enjoyed my last few hours in London. And I did this by having a family moment.  I have visited many other relatives and we ate a giant pizza at Cotsco (I'm not complaining). Eventually it was time to really start packing. 

London day nine 27/06 || Shopping in Westfield

Remember when I told you I had to hold myself from shopping here. Well that's because shopping in Westfield was on the planning for that Saturday.

London day eight 26/06 || Badoxa em concerto

The last concert I attended was one of Ariana Grande (blog post will be online next week). But The concert of Badoxa was really different. At several concerts people stand or sit and sing along. But at Badoxa it was like going out in a club with a live performance.

London day seven 25/06 || A picnic at Canary Wharf

Another lovely and sunny day in London. On this day, I met my friend Inga at Canary Wharf which is in East London. 

London day six 24/06 || Sunny days in London

Like I said before here, London is not the first holiday destination due the weather. It's usually cloudy, dark and rainy. I am quite happy that I'm used to such weather. And I was even more happy on those sunny days I had during my stay.

London day five 23/06 || A family moment

On this day I had a nice family moment. My cousin and I have walked on the market to buy fruit. Then we stayed at home. Staying at home and watching TV is also needed during the holidays.  Especially after a busy weekend and a shopping day. 

London day four 22/06 || shopping in Wood Green

Two weeks ago While some of us went to work on Monday, others (ahum... guilty me) went shopping.

London day three 21/06 || Have you ever heard of Camden Town?

This was a long day. It was the Christening of the nephew of my cousins friend. One of my cousins ​​cooked a meal for the occasion. Feijoada, a delicious Portuguese stew of beans beef and pork . We were in such a rush because we had to bring the food in the room before the guests arrived. And above that we also got lost. Thank God we still got there on time and couldn't wait till the party started.

London day two 20/06 || A wedding in London

Happy 4th of July to all my American readers.  Please be careful with firework but also don't forget to have an amazing weekend. Two weeks ago, I also had a party. My cousins wedding day. 

London day one 19/06 || Celebrating my last exam

Hey sweeties! 
As you've seen on my Instagram, two weeks ago I went to London all by myself just like last year. London was booked last minute, but hey! It’s always a good idea. I planned the trip because I had a cousins wedding on Saturday. I finally finished my exams and the results were announced a week later, so what better way to just relax in a city like London for more than just a weekend. I know It is not the first summer vacation choice because of the weather, but I'm already used to it from where I come from. 
Okay! Enough chatter. Let me tell you how this long trip began because I was in fact very nervous. And I'm not just talking about the journey.

Highlighters and nail art

Pink // Orange // Yellow (Limited edition) // Green // White 

Hey sweeties!

During the month of May, I did not show you much of my #manicuremonday nail art and I'm sorry for that.

My April faves

Hey sweeties! I'm very late with my mothly favourites but it's better late than never right. So here they are, my April favourites.

Pain(t)ball

Au, au, au, AAUUWWW!!

Those were the only words that came out of my mouth on a Saturday night during a pain(t)ball game.

Throwback to Kingsday!

Coral or crawl

Coral pink // Mint // White

The month May was much more excited last year when I had to crawl myself into graduation. This year I have to crawl myself to the next semester.

School starts again today.

I'm actually in school now. We have a break which means that it's a great opportunity to post my manicure Monday :).

My March faves

It has been a very very long time since I wrote one of my monthly favourites. Lots of you seem to like my monthly favourites blog posts so I'll just continue doing it every month. Let's start with March.

Happy Easter Monday!

How did you spend your Easter weekend? My baby sister and I went Egg hunting of course. The best thing about living in a house with four floors is that you have lots of places to hide your chocolate eggs and I have made use of it. At the end of the day we spoiled our self by eating the chocolates and watched a Disney movie.

My absence

So what exactly happened two weeks ago since Doneta didn't get to post a #ManicureMonday. While you were waiting for a new nail art as I promised, I found myself feeling at my worst in the emergency room. It supposed to be a normal Monday as me being an intern at the hospital, but things oddly changed that day.

My veggie week

I've let you all on social media know that the fasting has started last week. And I decided to participate.... Well, kind of.

So this happens when you sort your nail polish.

4 Shades of me

What a weekend I got last week. A girls night on Friday, Valentine's day with the girls on Saturday and then Carnival on Sunday. I don't even know how to call it. Valentine's weekend, Carnival weekend or birthday weekend..? Just like every year I celebrate my b'day twice. One time with family and one time with friends. I celebrate it with my bestie because we have the same friends and our birthdays are quite close to one another. But.... every year I celebrate it with friends, crazy things happen.

Cupid made me do it

Happy Carnival!

How many of you actually celebrate Carnival? In Amsterdam there were a quite amount of people in costumes but not lots of them. Carnival is more popular in the south of the country so for others today was just a regular day.

Mr. Grey will see you now

Ah Valentine's day. The day when you decide to send that love letter. The day most couples are stressed out about because they feel forced to prepare the most beautiful and perfect day. Cards, chocolate, dinner... Anything to impress your crush/partner. Also the day I went to 50 Shades of Grey.

Love on Friday the 13th

Eeks! It's Friday the 13th.

Thank you Echelon family

Throwback to my Rocktober nail art.

Essence come to town

I'M BACK!
