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!

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!

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.

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!

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:

See you soon! <3

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 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.

Collistar - Viola Glitter

Hey everyone!

For my entry today, I'm showing you Viola Glitter from Collistar. You might have seen the name around. I saw the polish on Lacquerized.com and I fell in love immediatly. Thing was, the polish was really expensive. But yesterday I decided I could spoil myself for once, and just bought the polish.




Viola Glitter is a beautiful purple polish with very tiny glitter. It seems duochrome to me, in the bottle I see gold, red and lighter purple glows on the glitter.



I absolutely love everything on the polish. It dries up so fast and it covers my nail almost entirely on the second coat. I did a third one anyways. It makes me want to look at my nails all the time. Gorgeous.

Another good point, it doesn't peel of my nails. All mani's I've done the last few months just peeled off my nails, and this one doesn't. Great plus. 5/5. To me.

It did make my camera flip out. Hah.
I really need to do a workshop in photography. Gees, my pictures are bad.
