Essence & Models own.

Recently I bought Essence - Glisten up. I saw some swatches online of it on its own, but I didn't like it much, but after I saw it layered over some more darker colors, and I was sold. It's a polish that's pretty sheer on its own, a sheer blue with blue-ish green flakes, shimmers and glitter. = Succes for pure awesomeness.

I layered it over Models own - Pure Purple. Love. Love love love. Close-ups next to the text!

Models own - Top Turquois

I wore this polish a few days ago and made swatches after. This is a great Models Own polish, the color is really stunning and I think it's quite unique.

It's turquoise, as you can see. Or is it teal? Actually, I think it's inbetween, if Google is to be trusted. It applied okay, a little on the thick side (That's why it's all over my hands), and it didn't dry thát great. But the color really makes it up to me.

Here it is with a layer of Gosh Rainbow:



I have a question for my bloggers. I tried cleaning up my nails with a brush, like the tutorial on Lacquerized. But it just doesn't work on me. What could be it? That I don't have pure acetone? Or not the right brush? What brushes do you use to do this?

Thank you!

Holo polishes

I'm starting to believe that I'm the only one who isn't that big of a fan of Holographic polishes. I don't know why, they always seem blend on my skin, and there is so much going on. No, I like my polishes in a nice and bright color, without holo.
If I do wear a holo, I always wear a topcoat, which seems to be a deadly sin when it comes to wearing holo's, but if I don't, I really don't like them on me.

I own a few holo polishes, H&M SInful Senorita. I really didn't like it on my, it made the polish really blend with my skin. And my skin seemed really red. Guh. So I gave that one to my mom.
It's the pink one on the left.

I also have China Glaze TMI. I thought it looked really nice on me, really eyecatching (With a topcoat). But then I started wearing more popping colors, and now it seems really blend, once again. Gees, what is this with me ;( It's the one on the right.

Sooo. I guess I'll have to stick with brighter colors, to make myself happy. And my mom, she hates the fact I keep changing my polish.

Well, other stuff now. I'm getting my sticky topcoat soon *happy panda*. Hopefully, my polish will stay on my nails longer, because this crap with polish I have to replace everyday gets old. This way, I get to wear my favorite polishes longer <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b338/Aetza/Nagels/blueuniversecolor.jpg">that color, but it peels off after 2 minutes.

AND it's almost the 14th, meaning, I get my money, meaning, I can buy another KoHpolish (You might heared of this brand, the overpriced Dutch polish, but I love the colors so much). I promised myself I could buy one every month. Because of the price.
I bought my first last month. Blue universe (Left and bottom pic). And I love it. It's a deep, dark, blue-purple color with a green undertone, with silver glitter and flakes. (Please don't mind the bright orange cuticle on the picture, I just removed bright pink polish, but my hands are still totally pink/orange-y. Very annoying and unflattering on photo)






*Gees, every time I typed Holo's, I typed Homo's. Wtfisdisshit*
