Last friday night by OPI.

With this message, I'm out of here. I'll be moving my blog to a wordpressblog as soon as I can, and as soon as I find the time to. I'll let you know when this happens!

I'm thinking about a blog where I can review very quickly. For me, but also for the readers. But this takes a while to prepare, to think of a name and to find a webdomain. I'll get there!




Crackle topcoat is from P2, so not the OPI Black Shatter.

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!

MAC - Bad Fairy



Hello!
Setting up a few blogposts before I go on vacation tomorrow.

This is Bad Fairy, my first MACpolish ever. I have to say, I'm a little disappointed. For 12 euro I expected a little more from it. I love the color, more about that later, but ugh, the application was not all that great, and the brush was of a bad quality. It's a shame.


Behhh.

But the color on the other hand! It's mainly a pink I think, it has copper, gold, mauve maybe? A lot of colors! This asks for more pics.

Favorite polishes of the moment



Hello again.

It's been a while, I know. But hopefully I'll be here more now. Going to Germany soon, planning on spending polishmoney, so all will be fine.

I want to make a post on my favorite polishes of the moment. Why? I don't know, just for fun. Maybe to give you all some ideas. And I just want to share. They're at random order, can't pick firsts or lasts. The colors are totally random. As you can see from the colorchartthing above. Enjoy! <3

1) Essie - Sew Psyched
I saw swatches online, and I was sold. I'm not a big greenfan, but this one somehow sparked my interest. I don't know why. I recently bought it, and I'm in love. It's charming on my skin and it looks like a creme, even though there's silver shimmers in there. Somewhere. You have to look very closely. Swatches soon.

2) Zoya - Kelly
I love grey. Love love love it. Almost every outfit I wear has some sort of grey in there. That's why Kelly's a natural choice for me. And it's a very fall-y and winter-y color.

3) Chanel Paradoxal
Does this need explaining? Great color, great application, great color, great concept. Way to go Chanel.

4) OPI - Fiercely Fiona
Weird yellow that looks great on my skin, what more is there to say! I also love pastels, they look so cute.

5) Essie - Mink Muffs
I always screamed out that brown looks awful on me. It still does, but not on my nails I guess. I tend to look sick with a brown shirt or so. But on my nails, ah. Mink muffs is a perfect taupe/brown, in my opinion.

6) Essie - Lapis of Luxury
Can't describe the color, I just know I love it só much. Is this blurple? I don't know.

7) OPI - Flower to Flower
Pink. Barbie pink. But I don't like barbie, so just pink. I love it, the shimmer is great also.

8) OPI - Suzy says Feng Shui
The perfect shade of blue. I think it's perfect for fall. This was a spring-collection polish right? I think it would be better for fall, but that's just me. Still greaaat.

9) Nubar - Indigo Illusion
Did I post this here yet? I should. I love this duochrome, or multichrome, not sure. I love every color in it, and the shimmer. Yum.

10) Color Club - Revvvolution
Holo! I used to say holo's are not for me. I guess I changed my mind! In combination with grey/black, I love it the most. I'm taking it with me on vacation next week. <3

That's it for now, I'll be posting swatches soon! Just have to edit the photo's.
See you soon(er than before D:)!

China Glaze - Riveter Rouge and new camera!



It's been a while again. Poop. I was just so busy.
Good news, I got a better camera! A canon eos 1000D. And I'm so happy! It photographs like the best. Well, probably not the best, but the best I've ever had! That's why I put Frodo in the top picture. He's nothing to do with the polish, but I liked the picture.

On to the more exciting stuff for you.



I got this polish a while ago, it was one of the three Vixens I wanted. It really got my interest. I love the color, a deep dark red, with a little hint of brown. It has silver and gold glitter. People call it realllly chunky glitter, but I just put one coat of topcoat on there, David, and I didn't notice any chunkyness. It was smooth and I thought it was just gorgeous.

And it just lit up in the sun! Sadly, the only ray of sun I got was on my way to school, and I didn't bring my camera. Poo >:
Here's another picture for you!

OPI - Flower to flower



Hello everyone! It's been a little while again. Gah. I pimped my room. Blingbling style.
Not really, I just moved my bed, closets and TV. And it looks great. My room looks even more spacious. But my polishes are hidden in my helmer now, I can't use my mongolian hangthing anymore for a while. >:

Anywho, I finally got it! Flower to flower! The polish I've wanted ever since I saw the swatches, but as soon s I wanted to order it, it was n/a. And in Holland they don't sell it. Gah, FML.

It's a gorgeous pink with a subtle shimmer. A silver shimmer. Application was good once again. Yes, good polish. Good pink, not just the regular stuff. Worth the wait!

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!

Catrice - Meet me at Coral Island



I've had this color for a while now, and I still had to use it. It looks kind of orange, but not orange enough for me to hate it.

I hardly ever use Catrices, I really don't know why. I grab my OPI's a lot more often. But Catrice has a great quality for the amount of money you pay for them. They cost 2,49, and it's actually not a small bottle of polish.

Anywho. I loved it. Then I put Gosh Rainbow over it. Then I hated it.

Have a nice day!

Essie - Mink Muffs


I apologize for the terrible picture. It looks too red and guh.

As I told you, I also got this polish, and I'm so excited! It's a warm, dark taupe. I think it's already on the edge of being brown. The polish dries a tad bit darker than it looks like in the bottle, I experience that with most taupes.

Dryingtime was excelent, I love the color. I think I'll be using this color a lot more from now on, it looks really subtle.

They say this one is a dupe of Chanel Particuliere, but it's a little more warm, as of what I see in pictures. But this polish completely took away my need for this Chanel.

Essie - Lapis of Luxury



Hello again. Today was my first day of school. I really didn't want to go. Meh. But my polish made me a lot happier and excited.

It's Lapis of Luxury by Essie. I wanted this polish, but with my last order, they didn't have this one. Sad panda. And then I saw it in store, with a little discount, and I had to get it. Money well spent.

The color is a lavenderish blue. It's a little more purple than it is on the photo, I tried to capture the color but my camera hates purples (I have to get a better camera). I don't think I have something excactly like this one. Application was great, this was 2 or 3 coats, not sure.

Great one. Again. <3

OPI - Rumple's Wiggin'



Hellooo.

Today I'm showing you Rumple's Wiggin'. I've wanted this polish for a while now, and it was my last polish I needed for the Shrek collection, so I bought it in the store (Wallet says auch!), but it was worth it.

It's a pretty, really light lavender shade. I really like it, even though pastels and purples don't always work on my skin. I think this one did. I don't own a polish like it, so this is a good one.

Application was great, dryingtime was great as well. Just everything I'm used to with OPI. It only didn't dry as glossy as I like my polishes, but a good topcoat helps that.

On another note. I was going so great with not purchasing polishes this month. But today I felt so crappy, school's starting tomorrow and I thought of Puk today. So I went to La Bourse. Just to watch, they never have lots of polishes, and F me, today they did. Lots of Essies. I bought Mink Muffs and Lapis of Luxury. Swatches later on!

China Glaze - Foxy



My nails seem super uneven, it's the shade, really.

I really like this color, it's brown-ish orange. I think. It's a real fallshade, but a really pretty one. I'm not a fall-shades person, they usually make me look sick. But this one is stunning. I love the color, but I don't know if it's 'me'. You know? I think I'll keep it, but maybe not wear it as much. I'd love to wear it during the fall, when the leafs go brown. Maybe make some pics then, I might let you know.

The bottle is more showing what it looks like in real life. Great shade. Great.


And it's getting better and better, the area around my nails. Less red, less skin-y, less everything! Can you see it? Only my pinky is struggling.

OPI - Color to Watch



Here's another color from the Swiss collection from OPI.

Great color in the bottle, duochrome, I think. But the color is pretty sheer, even for my taste. It's a bit more purple than it is on the picture. Gorgeous color, but I think it's better for layering.

Application was great again. But this color is not a favorite of mine.

Hm, love the name-connection with Swiss, with the Watch, thing.

China Glaze - Classic Camel



Here's the polish that, in my opinion, is the most hated shade of the Vintage Vixen collection, but is loved in the end. I've heared that Classic Camel is n/a at lots of places, but on this forum I'm in, everyone hates it with a great passion.

I loved it. After seeing swatches on All Lacquered Up, I fell in love. The way she photographed her nails made the polish look so charming, the shimmer just great. So I purchased it.

I loved it even more than I thought it would. Not really a wow-color, but still. The application was great, for such a light color. I love how the shimmer came out. Ah. Love. Fave'd.


Another pic, I think this color deserves it.

18 augustus 2010

Zoya - Midori



Old swatch-time!

I wore this polish back in my holiday in Turkey (Saying like it's that long ago, about a month, to be really honest). It was great weather, and the color really came through. It's a green polish with yellow shimmer. It was great for the vacation. Too bad the polish didn't survive too long on my nails, though.

Application was good, needed a few layers, but eh.

Sorry for the uninspirational post, really, I don't know what to post!

17 augustus 2010

China Glaze - Laced up



Hell, why not. Another pink.

This is a color I wanted for a while, and I finally got it. It's Laced up. A pretty creme pink. When I first saw it, I thought the color would go flat on my skin, really unflattering, but when I put it on, it shines, sort of. The pretty and cuteness really come out.

It's really one of the cutest pinks I own.

Application wasn't ideal, a liiittle on the thick side. But the color was cute. I'm content.

Really sorry about the crappy pic, I only had my phone with me.

OPI - Kinky in Helsinki

Lesson one in blogging. The first and only lesson I ever learned at school about this. There is nothing more unproffesional than not posting regularly. And I'm doing that now. This weekend was fun, but I HAVE TO POST MORE Dangit.

Anywho. You know when you see a polishname and you have to have it?
I had this with Kinky in Helsinki. I love the name, so fun, so cheeky.

And the color is great too. Here's my swatch:



I love the color, sadly the color isn't accurate, didn't know the camera used. But the color is gorgeous, application was great and drying time was good. Everything I always say about OPI applies here.

Better swatch:
Lacquerized


See you soon! <3

OPI - Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous!



So, this is swatch number one of my haul.

I like this color. I don't love it, it's not going on my favorite-spot. But it does look nice. It makes my nails look silver-y. The base is quite dark, but the glitters/shimmers lighten the color up. Is this a foil? I don't know, I'm not a big finishperson. I always confuse everything.

It is a nice color, that's for sure, I have nothing alike in my stash. I think it lights up great in the sun, but it's not too sparkly.

That's it for today! Bye.

I'm sorry

.. For not posting as much as I'd like. I have a lot going on in my life right now.

The biggest thing is that Puk, my cat has been found. Under a tree in my neighbours garden. He died. We don't know the cause, but I'm so sad. Só sad. I don't feel like doing anything. But yeah, that's one of the biggest reasons for not blogging as much.

Also, I've started with a new diet, which comes in harder than I thought. But I'm doing good, but it's making me tired.

New beginnings again, going to post the next week I hope. I got lots of new China Glazes and OPI's and Color Clubs. <3 So, see you soon!
