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:)!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Hauls

Gees, I did buy a lot of polish this week. I put it all together, and I'm here to share it with you.

I'm sorry for the crappy pics, really, it's been crappy weather as well.


Off to the colors I bought! Lots of OPI.
fltr; Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous! - Color so hot it berns - Diva of Geneva - Yodel me on my cell - Color to watch - OPI DS Sapphire - OPI Nail Envy Original



Some Color Club
Worth the Risque - Fashion Addict


I also bought China Glaze. In a store. 1,5 hours away. But it was worth it.
Sass in a Glass -Rain Storm - Melon Rind - Raspberry Festival - Cherry Pie - Laced up
I now have all but one of the Summer Days Summer 2009 collection.



H&M Salsa. I think.



And the most important one. Dumdumdum.
Chanel Paradoxal. I love it even more than I thought. I wore it when the sun didn't shine, that was a little too bad, but. I'll wear it again. And again.



I will swatch more the coming time. <3

OPI - And this little piggy

I bought this polish for my own birthday. I saw in the store and I thought it looked really cute. It's a pink polish with lots of really small glitters.

I applied it on my hand and I was a little dissapointed at one coat, it made my nails look really yellow underneath. You know? It's really sheer, so you could see my nailline and it looked yellow. But it got better with more coats.

It's really sheer, the picture above is 5 coats, maybe even 6. But I still love it. But it got me thinking, maybe it's great for layering.



Lookatmybrownhands! And sorry for the sloppy application.
Anywho. Left to right, one coat of ATLP over ORLY Lola, one coat of ATLP over H&M Love at first sight, three coats of ATLP over ORLY Lola, three coats of ATLP over H&M Love at first sight.

I love the way it looks over Lola. I might do a full mani with that once.

OPI - Ogre the top blue

I've wanted this color for a while now (I say that a lot D:) But every time I bought polish, I forgot I wanted this one. I bought this of the same online buddy I bought Give me the moon! from. And again, I luv it. Luv, yes, luv.

Everything went great. The application was great, two or three coats were enough and it slided on my nails. It dried pretty quickly. The color. Wow. It's so blue. A beautiful blue, one I've loved forever.

The only downside was that this color was hard to photograph. I had to stand in the shade and make a terrible picture to capture the color the way it is. Well, it's actually a little lighter (It looked right on my camera)



Pf, I need to make a blogpost about a polish that's so-so, this AAAH-MAZING gets tiring.

OPI - Give me the moon

Ha. I finally got my hands on this beauty, thanks to an online nailpal.

I saw it in real life and I had to put it on my nails, so gorgeous. In the bottle it looks gray, maybe a little bluetint in it. And when you hold it in the right light, you get a lavender lilac-ish shimmer. It's gorgeous.
m
It is a sheer polish, not a big deal for me, could be for you. This is 4 or 5 layers, could have used another one, you could see my nailline. Ahwell! Love it anyways. It applies on really smooth and nicely.

OPI - Teal the cows come home

I loved this color from the start. Because of the name. I'm a sucker for funny names. I have no idea what the name originally is from. I don't care, the name says cows.

This color is so good for me. I love blue, I love shimmers, I love cute colors. To me, this is all of that. Meh, can;t find anything wrong with it, it's a little sheer, but I don't mind sheer. The formula was good. Meh, love.

I love this image of this cow. So here for you: This is a cow.

OPI - Chick Flick Cherry

Ahh. Summer. And still wearing non-summer colors. Love it.

As you might know, I love red. Red dresses, red nails, red blog. Ah, red. So, I knew I would love this polish. The photo isn't that color accurate. It's more pink. It really looks like an actual cherry. It's as deep as it looks on my nails, but a little pinker, yes.

I love it, not quite sure if it's a creme or a jelly, but I can live with that. I think this would be a great christmascolor. With a little Fairy Dust over it, ah. Love.

The application was okay, but I think that was mostly because my fan is going like crazy. Oh, and please don't mind the shitty look of the polish, I accidentally sat on my hand while the polish was not dry yet.

OPI Ink

So, I got my new polishes the other day, and I was so excited! Yay for OPI, my favorite brand.

I was most interested in 3 colors, OPI Ink was one of them. It looked so interesting in the bottle, purple fading out to blue, really dark but really shiny. Not really a summer-y color, but I never think about that. Or matching, as you can see in the pic (Haha, bright dress).

Anywho! The color was really, really interesting. In the shade, the color was purple with shimmer, and in the sunlight it really looked like ink, deep blue. But in the sun, the purple was completely gone, that really surprised me. Is this what blurple is?

You can see the purple vs blue really well on the left picture. The top two nails are more purple, and the bottom two are more blue. A very interesting color, I'll try it out more when it gets colder.

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*

OPI - Fiercely Fiona

I got Fiercely Fiona with my new package. And I loved it. I had doubts even just before I got the package about the color. On some swatches, it's really green, and on others it's pretty and yellow. I didn't like it on the green-ish swatches, so I had to wait and see.

So I put it on my nails, and I instantly loved it. It's a pretty yellow, really hard to describe. In some yellow lights, it does look a bit green, but I can live with that.

I think the color is right between being pastel and real yellow. It's really unique. And I love it. Yet another color that has to be a new fave.

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.

Wing it! by OPI

Hello!

Today I'll be showing you one of my two new favorite polishes.
Wing it!

A week ago I received a package with new polish. I didn't get to see all of them, I made a deal at home that I wouldn't order before I finished school, I did, so I sent them out on a sleepover elsewhere. A long sleepover. 2 week long sleepover.
I didn;t get to see any of them.
Sooo, I made a deal with my mom that I would get one. That one was Wing it!.
I saw it and I fell in love. It's such an unusual color. In some lights it's pink, and in some it's red. And in other lights it's orang-y. I love it. It has blue/purple shimmer, which is totally unique in my opinion. I never saw it elsewhere.


Here you see the shimmer very well, you can also see how pretty and pink it is, and how much it looks like a duochrome in the bottle (See the orange towards the sides)


Orange-y red.


Pink with the shimmer.

It's a perfect polish <3

New online store, and fav polish.

So, one of my fellow forumposters just opened her own nailpolish webshop. She has really interesting prices, so go check it out!
Beware, it's in Dutch!

I also need to tell you about one of the most favorite polishes I own.
OPI Koala bear-y. It's pink. And it's so wonderful. I Don't know why, it just looks charming with my skin. I think it has to be that.




I love it. I don't own it that long, but every time I want to polish my nails again, I want to grab that one. But then again, it seems that OPI is my most favorite brand of polish. Most people I know looove China Glaze to death, but it's just not it for me. I don't have a lot of OPI (Another order is on it's way, hellzyeah), but every bottle I own, I fell in love with.

Also, today, I think I found a new love.
Koh.
It's expensive, 15 euro's per bottle. But today I decided to spoil myself. I promised myself I could do that once a month, buy one bottle and spoil myself.

I will post pictures tomorrow, I hope you'll like the color as much as I do. I won't tell too much about it now, I'll suprise you.

Have a nice day!

This was the most weird, inconsistent blogpost I've ever made.

First post.

Hello everyone, welcome to Other kind of brush.
Why this weird name? Well. I'm sort of an artist (It's too big a title to call myself that, let's just say, I love to draw), where you use brushes in photoshop to draw, or while painting to make. Well, a painting. Now I'm making a blog for an other kind of brush, the nailpolishbrush. There you have it!

I usually don't work with blogspot, but since everyone else with nailpolishblogs are using Blogspot. I will too, makes it a little easier. Right?

So, I will be posting my nails here. And maybe more, I don't know, I love to blog about stupid, useless stuff. Forgive me!

Sooo yesterday I hurt my finger. I cut myself with my umbrella (As soon as you get to know me, you'll see this is typical Ren). And it didn't hurt or bother me, so I didn't use a bandaid. I'm a big girl, big girls don't do bandaids.
So this morning my bed was a little bloody. I ignored it. And then I went out to do some groceryshopping, and yeah. The cut started bleeding again. We didn;t have any bandaids in the house, figures, so I just went to the grocerystore and wanted to get some bandaids. They only had the kind you have to cut to the right size, crazy as I am, I don't have scizzors with me all the time. So I had to get kiddybandaids. I feel so badass right now.
Here's a pic:




Oh, and the polish is Mad as a Hatter, by OPI. I love it. <3
