[Review] p2 – last forever nail polish – 011 city love + so gold shake up top coat

Good evening everyone,

today I want to start reviewing the lovely p2 polishes I got at the BeautyBloggerCafé in Berlin about 1 1/2 months ago…..realizing WOW! time has passed…..

Yesterday in my Sunday I already used p2′s last forever nail polish – 011 city love as a base color. I did the same today to show the so gold shake up top coat. This polish has super tiny gold glitter/shimmer in it. Depending on how much you shake it, you will get a softer or stronger gold shimmer as a top coat.

and now with 2 coats of so gold – shake up top coat

Oh god I am in love with this top coat!
I love how it just so discreet but still makes the base color look so elegant. I will definitely try it on other polishes to see if the effect changes depending on which color is used as a base. Let’s be honest, the 2,95 euro are totally worth it. Basically you doubble your nail polish collection because you can use it on ANY polish and give it a total different finish.

I just love it. If you live in a country where you can get your hands on one of these, do it – buy it :D

Maybe I will include one of these into one of my next giveaways. Would you be interested?
Let me know.

Sunday Mani – nineteen – striper nails

Hey lovelies,

today I have the first part of my two manicures using different striper polishes.
I think this one turned out pretty well.

For that I would like to review the p2 polish I used for this as base color.

This is p2’s last forever nail polish – 011 city love

A nice pastel lilac polish. The consistency is nice and the polish goes on very smoothly. This way you get a good finish without strokes or bumps.

I let this dry properly and started using the stripers.
As you can see I used two pretty old ones by Essence, one in pink, the other one in purple and started arranging different lines and patterns. My personal favorite is the pinky.

I was just playing around with these since I never really used these stripers, but I like how the patterns turn out depend what you do.

What is your favorite?

[Event Review] BeautyBloggerCafé 2014 – update

Hello everyone,

I am still super happy about today. As I told you before on my blog and facebook page, I went to the a Blogger Event named the BeautyBloggerCafé.

Before that I want to show you what I ordered for the event.

Blog Business Cards :D
I am really happy I got these, made it much easier today…..but anyway, yesterday I went to DM because I needed a concealer and powder. Since I also heard that the Ebelin “beauty blender” make up sponge is supposed to be pretty good I also bought this.

Now on to the Event today.
I was really excited since this was my first event ever to attend.
The lovely Julia from Julchens Traumwelt told me that she would be traveling to Berlin just for the event so we met up and went to the Event together.

Honestly, we were super excited and when we arrived and entered the location we were simply overwhelmed.
But since the Team of styleranking was super nice and welcoming we loosened up immediately.

The location was “The Apartment” and was a pre-WWII residential building which was very pretty.
I love these kind of buildings, we have a lot of them here in Berlin.

Now let me show you some pictures I took.

p2 room, where they had the full product range to check out and two stations to either get hand care with hand bath, peeling and other hand/skin care products or you could pick a p2 polish and get your nails done :)
I did both :P

as well in this room they had a chair with a bag full of p2 products in it.
We had to guess how many products were in there so we could win.

The room next to it was the Dawanda room, where we had the chance to make floral wreath’s with fake flowers.

I tried to replicate my blog flower, the cherry blossom

In the next room we could check out new perfumes from different brands and also Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber or Nicky Minaji.

They also had a corner for Elizabeth Arden products, which was interesting for me because I never really tried anything from them.

I am simply overwhelmed by what happened today.
I met so many nice and awesome people today. We talked and shared experiences and gave each other tips on several things.
Hearing everyone’s story and seeing the faces and people behind the blogs was really great.

A big thank you to everyone who was there and took the time to make this an awesome day.

Also a huge thank you to styleranking and the people organizing the BeautyBloggerCafé, especially René who always had a smile on his face and was super nice and involved in everything. He kept asking everyone how they like the event and also listening to our stories.

I really appreciate today and am very very happy.

Thanks again to everyone.
