Colors by Llarowe "Miss Grey" with black a bit of stamping

Hi guys!

Long time, no post, but the Christmas craziness is over, and it feels like my mojo is back, so here I have a little post for you.

Here is the end result of today's design, I hope you like it, and if you want to know how I did it, please keep reading!

Just a quick overview what I used for today's manicure:

The polish is Miss Grey from Colors by Llarowe. It's a stunning grey jelly polish with a ton of silver holographic shredded glitter. Also used MoYou's black stamping polish and my absolute favourite clear stamper from Rainbow Connection. I mention it in every stamping post, it's just awesome!

The plate is from BornPrettyStore, it's the number BP-L050 and although I bought it last fall, this will be the first time I will use it :)

Originally I chose another image from this plate, but when I had the polish on, changed my mind, and went for this image:

Let's get started! First I applied a base coat, I'm using Duri Rejuvacoat 2, which I have to admit is not my favourite base coat, I just try to use it up. I was surprised how yellow my nails look on the picture, in life, it's not that bad... I think...

The polish I choose for tonight is from Colors by Llarowe, called Miss Grey, and it's exclusive to Rainbow Connection.

At the first coat it is sheer and a little bit patchy, but those glitters are just so stunning!!!

With the second coat it started to build up very nicely. If you look very close, it's not completely opaque, but there is so many glitter in it, it's just very eye catching!

Can you tell I'm a bit obsessed with those shredded glitters??? :D

Next step was the stamping, and I thought this lightning bolt lookalike image would look good on this polish, so I went ahead, and stamped all my nails. Here is a pic before cleanup:

I quickly cleaned up, and used my one and only trusted top coat: Seche Vite:

I think the end result is bold but elegant, simple but unique. I couldn't have done it without the polish created by Leah Ann Llarowe! Love, love, love her polishes!

Here I have a "bit" more pictures, I just love my new camera as well as the polish I used!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope to see you soon! Xxx

Layered sweet potato and onions baked with Camembert

Hi guys!

Today I have a rather different post here for you.

My other passion besides nail polish and nail art is cooking. In the past few months I came across several YouTube videos regarding "What I ate today", and I quiet enjoyed those.

I re-fell in love with cooking, and did find myself trying new dishes. I thought you might find it just as enjoyable as I did!

Now I'm the one, who never follows the recipes, I just love to create something new, most of the times from leftovers. So it's a win-win situation.

I saw a picture on Pinterest a while ago, and I thought, one day I will do that! 

The original dish was potato layered with sweet potato and onions, but as we don't eat potato, so I left it out.

I also had a lot of Camembert left from Christmas so that needed to be used. There came the idea to put the cheese on the top, and let it bake.

So I sliced two medium sized sweet potatoes and three onions, and just put them in a dish alternating between the two:

It already looked good! :)

I seasoned it with salt and coarse ground black pepper. Turned out the salt was not enough, but you never know how sweet the potato is! ;)

Now onto the star of the dish, the Camembert. My other half loves this type of cheese, so I bought a huge one for him for Christmas.

It seemed to big, and we still had a quarter left. I hate to throw food away, always try to create a dish to use all the ingredients in my fridge.

So the lovely present been sliced and placed neatly on the top of the potato-onion fan.

I also sprinkled the top with some smoked paprika just to give it a posh look, and a hint of flavour.

It went into the oven for 40 minutes on 170 Celsius.

The smell was awesome in the whole house! :)

The final result:

All the inside of the cheese been melted away, giving the sweet potato and onion a creamy bath. The crust remained on the top and became crispy.

Apparently it was delicious, and I have to agree, sometimes something unusual can become something delicious.

I definitely will recreate this dish in the near future, as it was cheap, very easy to do, and yummy!

I hope you enjoyed this blog post, although I know I only posted about nail polishes.

Please let me know in the comments if you would like to see more of these kind of posts!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope to see you soon! Xxx
