About

Hi and welcome to my little space on the internet!

My name is Sabrina, a 29 year old polish junkie from The Netherlands.
I have a serious addiction to everything nail polish related and like to share my swatches, nail art and tutorials here with you 😀

All photo’s are taken in natural daylight, meaning outdoors -unless otherwise stated-. Therefore my skin tone might look different in photo’s 😉 I found that photo’s taken outdoors give the most color accurate result.

My passion for polish has expanded to an even more exciting level, creating my own polish. I make them one by one from the scratch. You can view and purchase my creations at my shop and read more about it on my ‘shop page‘.

You can also find me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Bloglovin.

And if you’d like to get in touch with me, feel free to e-mail me at: polish.alcoholic [at] gmail.com or fill out the contact form at the contact page. I’ll try my best to answer you as soon as possible.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy polishing!

Hi, I just wanted to give you a heads up that I gave you (and your blog) a shout-out on *my* blog. 🙂 It’s sort of one of those blogger-on-blogger award things (the Shine On Award, to be specific), and if you’re at all interested in participating, please do. But if not, I just wanted you to know regardless that I love swinging by your blog – thanks for giving me something fun to read and stare at every day. 🙂

How are your nails so long? Real? If so, tips please:)

  😀 For a very long time I used OPI’s Nail Envy to strengthen them. Since I began swatching and therefore use(d) a lot of polish remover, they became brittle again. And of course I had staining once and a while. Since then I use a base coat that needs to be cured. That prevents them from staining and gives them just a little bit more strength. But yeah, I still manage to break one once in a while 😉 Oh… and I’ve heard great stories about Growth Miracle by Sally Hansen!

    Which base coat? I’d love to take a look into it. I use Nail Envy formaldehyde free right now…think it’s helping!

    Glad to hear! 🙂 i have a base coat from opi from their gelcolor line. Quite expensive but worth it 🙂
