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!

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!

Zoya Adina

Hello everyone.

A few days ago I wore Zoya - Adina. I got it from my most recent internetorder, and I love it. On the pictures I thought it was gorgeous already, but as it seems, the color online isn't that accurate. Not that I do it any better, it's really a hard color to capture.



This gorgeous color seems to have a lilac/purple base (At least, I think so, it looks like that on the back of my nails, I just see lilac there). And in the shade, it's really duochrome. When you look at it, you just see green, and when you turn your nails you see purple/copper. Beautiful.




In the sun it kind of transforms, it really is purple/lilac in the sun, with light green shimmer. No duochrome, really just shimmer. This was a nice surprise.

Herea re some pictures where I've tried to capture the duochrome, but that is reaaally hard to do.







Overall I love this polish. It's really pretty and not a very bright color. It's a little sheer, but I think it's good enough at three coats, though some people might want a fourth. It's not nearly as sheer as ORLY - Fantasea. And I really do think you have to see this polish in real life to see its full potential, it's more gorgeous than all pictures I've seen online.

The polish stays on my nails for a rather long time, it doesn't peel of that easily. Which is a great thing. Love it.

OPI Gar. Gar. Gah. Green matte and CND Effects.



I hate this name. OPI. Gargantuan Green Grape Matte with CND Jade Sparkle over it.
I don't really like OPI GGG Matte on its own, I like the regular version a lot better, it's lighter. So I decided to add the CND Jade Sparkle, which I wanted to try ever since I got it.

The effect, to me, is stunning. It adds green and yellow sparkles to the polish. I think these are glass flecks, not sure though, but the finish is really smooth and easy to remove from your nails, no real glitter or anything.

In the shadow it's almost as stunning as it is in the sunlight, you don't see lots of green sparkles, but lots of yellow.
Stunning. Just. Stunning.





Look at it! *Drools*

Jade is the new black

So. I will repost this with better pictures, no worries there. I just really want to blog about this polish I have wanted for aaages. And then someone bought it for me <3
I was not amused, since he paid the full retail price for it (14 euros). But I LOVE IT.




I love this color. It is more green than I thought, but I love it. It's a deep green creme, but also a bit. Dusty is the word I think. It is certainly one of my new faves.
