Simple manicure: Gosh - Gypsy Blue, CG DV8 & Essence Image Plate

Gypsy Blue is by far the prettiest and easiest creme I've tried from Gosh. It's easy to work with, has a great formula, very opaque meaning you can get away with one thick or two thin coats, oh, and the colour itself is gorgeous.

This is my go-to colour when I want to make an easy, painless manicure or just feeling like a popping blue on my nails. The colour really pops - it's the perfect basic blue IMO ♥ Looking at this colour throughout the day really cheers me up!

For this manicure I wanted a little bit of sparkle as well as some stamping. I recently organised my plates, meaning they're easier to reach and choose from, so I think I'll be using more patterns from now on.

China Glaze's DV8 came to mind as well as my favourite random pattern, circles from an Essence image plate I have. I think the result is a fun little extra on that beautiful blue I love so much, and I put on some dots of DV8 with my dotting tool to make the pattern more complete :)

Here's what I used:
Besides my base coat, NailTek II, I used two coats of Gypsy Blue.
Then I stamped and dotted DV8 randomly on the nails, and finished with a coat of Seche Vite :)

  3. Solens, tusind tak! Det tager nu ikke så lang tid når først man får fundet tingene frem :)

    Ann, I know it's expensive compared to especially German and American brands, but I still buy the occasional colour. It's cheap compared to other brands here, unfortunately! :/

  6. Uha den er flot.. og vildt flot motiv med den plade der :D tror jeg snart skal have udviddet min Gosh samling... kan bare ik få mig selv til at betale 60 kr. for dem.. :( Synes ikke de er meget mere værd en 20-30 kr

    Forresten har jeg oplevet at lige præcis Seche vite kan tage meget af den holografiske effekt af når man putter den på :( hvor andre topcoats ikke gør sådan en forskel.. synes det er sært :(

  7. Thank you, colorfulbottle! :)

    Rijah, Takker! tænk på hvor billigt det er sammenlignet med L'oreal, Maybelline og andre mærker der IMO SLET ikke er prisen værd :) Men kan godt se det er dyrt sammenlignet med amerikanske mærker. Jeg kan bare stadig godt lide at finde en farve nu og da i butikkerne :)

    Har ikke haft bøvl med Seche og holo lakker.. Tager altid topcoat på for at forlænge levetiden :)
