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:)!

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.
