This is one of the Essie I got when I saw they dropped the prices to 4$ on Transdesign. It is a cream dark grey colors with hints of purple. It is opaque in two coats, and the formula on mine was a bit thick. And I got some chips on the second day. Kind of dissapointed, but don't know if it's my nails, because lately everything chips on me. I saw this other one on Nailstah, it was the

Hi everybody! Buna tuturor! I decided to do this post because I find that a lot of people don't know what to expect from a certain nail polish, and how to obtain the best effect from it. M-am hotarat sa fac aceasta postare pentru ca observ ca multa lume nu stie la ce sa se astepte de la o oja si cum sa obtina efectul maxim din ea. 1.Let's start with normal creams - these are the classic

This polish is a part of the Go overboard collection 2012, and it is the only one that caught my eye from the 3 polishes. It's a dark grey to brown cream base, with gold shimmer which gives it an overall look of olive green. The shimmer is very visible in the bottle but no so much on the nails, at least with no sun shine. Thhis was 2 coats, application is ok, the polish is not runny, and I

I got some new brushes from Sigma a few days ago and thought I'd try them out. The first one, and the most important one because I will use it everyday, is the one for foundation F80, it's got nice soft bristles, and it works very well, the foundation looks very natural when applied with this brush. I am very happy with this purchase. It was 16$ and I think the delivery to France was about 8$.

Sooooo, I guess this was my second pick from the Navigate her collection, and I must say I am not sorry, even though I already have like two thousand other colors like this. Oky doky. I am a polish nerd. This is a cream bright, orangy coral, almost neon, but it does not have that neon finish. Although my camera kind of acted like it was photographing a neon, because you can see how tan my

Hello everyone! Hope you had a nice Valentine's day. My husband took me out to a very nice restaurant in Paris actually in the Opera Garnier. It's very chic and we had ourselves some champagne, and a nice meal. Here is a photo of the restaurant: Anyways on to the purpose of this post. My friend Neraida has a blog!!

Hi hello! Posting two days in a row, wow!! This is part of the new Navigate her collection and it was originally the only polish I was going to buy, because the other ones were too similar to other polishes in my collection, but decided finally to get Olé Caliente too, because I just fall for a good coral anytime. This is a cream green kind of minty, it was opaque in two coats, but I found it

I know you've all seen this probably a million times before, but this is the first time in real life for me, so I'm going to bore you with it. First I applied it alone, and by the 4th coat it was still not opaque, so I said f*** that, I will layer it. This is how it looks after 4 coats - still nice flakie goodness, but I am not a fan of VNL. So I decided to apply 2 coats of OPI - Got the

Bonjour tout le monde. Désolée pour la fréquence des messages mais j’étais parti en voyage pour le travail.  Today I am going to do a comparison between 2 make up removers that I use frequently Diadermine and Bioderma. This is going to be in french also because these brands are french and I don't know if these are sold

Hi hello!! How've you been? What'cha been up to? Today's nail polish is part of the Cocktail Bling collection, and it is a lavender blue cream. This was opaque in two coats, and in the bottle it looks a lot more mellow than on the nail, but I like it. We have been having the worst weather here, and I've heard it is like this in all of Europe. I frose my a** off yesterday waiting for the train.

This is a polish that I ordered I don't know when, and don't know why. I must have liked it, it's from an older collection, that is Summer Days from 2009. It's a foilly aspect violet shimmer. This took 2 coats, and it behaved excellent under Seche Vite. No shrinking, no nothing. I got lucky and had some sun light today!! So the photos are better. And I also have a cool picture of my make-up,

Hey you guys!! How are your? I wore my Essie for like 3 days, had some chips, so I took it off in favor of this OPI, that I ordered on Transdesign before they stopped selling this brand, which saddens me greatly, because this was the last site that still sold these. Now I will have to buy them on ebay, or in Sephora for a wapping 14€ a bottle. I am glad I did stock up on some basics, before it

I just received this palette I ordered on Nonpareilboutique - love this site this is the only way I can have palettes like this in France. These cost 5.5$ and they're worth every penny and more. These are very good quality eyeshadows and come in all sorts of shades. I chose Comfort Zone because it goes well on my skin tone. Here are the photos: I just love the one up on the left . It's

Hello there! How have you been doing? I just wanted to give a shout out to a very helpfull site become.com. They have me featured in their Best of the Web article on nail polish bloggers. I am very flattered they chose me, since there are such a big number of other great polish bloggers that are way better than me. There are also other blogs like Posh for Polish, which I already knew and love,

It's been a while ha? As tomorrow I'm going to the office I thought I should change my nail polish into something more work appropriate. So this is what I chose. This is part of the Carry on collection. There's not much to say, it's just a dusty cream pink. This was 2 coats: And another thing I recently bought is a Mac lipstick. I really wanted the Paul&Joe catpaw lipstick in Catwalk but I

So I've decided to come back slowly and at my own pace. From now on this blog is going to be about everything. Not only about polish, but mostly centered around it. I am going to try to put less

I have been doing a lot of thinking about this blog. I don't know if I should continue to write it. It has not evolved at all, not many people seem to like it. So I am thinking why continue blogging when it interests so few. I have made some friends but not that many. Blogging has not brought me enough to continue. In one year I have made around 3 friends, and have lost a lot of time writing my

I know I've posting a lot of Essies but I ordered like a ton of them. I really love them lately. But be sure some other goodies are on their way. I have also preordered the new collection from CultNails which you too can order here: http://shop.cultnails.com/Super-Powers-Collection-PRE-SALE-Only-9569.htm I think it's a good deal considering that these retail for 10$ normally.

Have you had enough Essie already? No? Well here's another one! This one is part of the fall collection Carry On 2011. I think this is one of my favourites! It's a brick red cream, more on the brown side. This was two coats, great application, great wear, and great everything!! And bonus a photo of Mumu with his new cat pillow, that I bought on Etsy at this store  http://www.etsy.com/people/

Hello!!! For today I have another Essie , part of the winter collection - Cocktail Bling. This one is a dark strong red cream with purple undertones. The application was a bit tricky, but I guess it turned out ok. This was two coats, and one coat of Wicked Fast - Cult Nails. The top coat left some streaks. What do you think of the winter collection so far? I am thinking I am kind of sick of

I know this is more of a summer color, but I really like neons. This one is part of the China Glaze 2010 Poolside collection, and I got this one this summer along with Pool Party but never got to wear it on my vacation, and then my nails broke, and I thought on nubbins it wouldn't look that good, and then I had to move and then...........

This is part of their limited edition Chic Chalet - Frozen Nail Laquer All of the polishes in this collection  that is a number of 6 have a frosty look. I didn't flash on any of them, this one was the only one that nearly got my attention. They have different caps, they are golden, which I don't like, makes them look like the cheap nail polish my mother used to buy when I was little. The

This is one amazing polish, I've never seen anything like it, and I sure would not like to have missed out on it. It's a delicious plum color cream base, filled with golden flakies. This is an easy application and great formula, as Zoya has gotten

I barely have the time to write this so I'm gonna make it quick. This is a polish from the Winter collection 2011, and it is a nude. Two coats, could have used another one, but works this way too. It is a nude beige cream polish. I think this is actually a huge trend right now in nail polish, I've seen this is so many fashion presentations, but I am not really a fan. Here are the photos, they

I think this is part of the Something about color collection  2011. This was in my recent swaap with Carolina, and I am sad that my nails weren't longer so you can enjoy this color as much as I did. It's a red jelly base, packed with red foilly shimmer!! The foil gives it such a sparkle, and it almost looks like a glitter, but it's not as hard to remove. I loved this polish, but my nails just

Well two post two days in a row, I must be on a roll. I had this swatch from before the renovating moving etc. This is part of the Braziliant collection, and it is a bright cream pink with lots of fuchsia shimmer in it. The shimmer gave it a kind of gritty look, even after the top coat, so I applied another coat, but still nothing. So I guess this is how it is supposed to look I kinda like this

And I am not done yet. So for a while the posts will still be scarce. I found a little time today to show you one of the winter collection Essies - that is an all creams collection.

One of my three picks from the Zoya Smoke & Mirrors collection ( by the way did you know that Topshop released a new make up collection called Smoke & Mirrrors?) is this lovely charmfull polish. This is a definite MUST HAVE!!!!! For anyone!!! I mean this is THE color!! Such an amazing polish. It's a dark but raw green cream with lots of golden flecks in it. Love, love, love it!! The formula is

Hello everyone!! Sorry for the lack of posts. I am still renovating my apartement, and I have guests over helping me, and I've got tons of work too, so that all leaves very little time to blog. BUT, yesterday I got a very interesting package from nailssuplies that is the Essie Winter Collection - Cocktail Bling. And so I have for you today the first one I wanted to try - Bobbing for Baubles.

Sorry about missing pink Wednesday, but I've been really busy at work. And in the evenings we've been going to our appartement to get stuff in. Today's polish is a soft lilac cream. This was two coats, perfect application and formula. I had a bit too much of shirnking with the Seche, and some tip wear within two days, but otherwise I am pretty happy with this polish. So here are the photos,

Sorry about the abscence but I've been really busy. We have started buying stuff for our new appartement and taking it there, so we are going to be renovating soon, and my posts will be scarce for a few weeks. This is not even a polish post, because I have not had the time to do my nails. I did however go by the Kiko store because they have put out a limited edition line - Chic Chalet, and I had

This is part of the Braziliant collection 2011, and it was the shade that I was most looking forward to trying. And I was not wrong!!! This is an amazing colour, I do not own anything else like it in my collection, and any laquerhead should have this one. It is a beautiful blue cream base, that leans a bit towards purple, and it is packed with the most gorgeous little white and baby blue small

This is another great polish I got in my swap with Carolina . It's a red cream with a bit of a blue reflexion, you can't see that in my pictures, but I assure you it is there. This was an easy two coats, the formula was perfect on this. I don't know if they've changed the brush, or it is so only on the minis but the the one on this bottle was great!! I don't usually buy Revlon polishes because

I have gotten quite a lot of questions on this. So I decided to do a post about it, that will o into my FAQ page. What you need for Konad stamping is: nail polish that works for stamping. You can buy special Konad polish, or you can use some of the regular polishes you already have here is a list of those that work for stamping. If you do not own any of the polishes on the list know that

These boots are made for walking and that's just what they'll do!! Just a quick post to show you my incredible new boots!! I saw these on Jen's blog and they stuck in my head untill two weeks ago. I was walking around Rouen with my husband and saw these in the window of a Jonak shop. So then I knew I had to have them. I bought them in their Paris Opera shop for 100€, and I don't regret it one bit

For this special day I did this special mani. I started with two coats of Essie Lion Around the last of my resort polishes, which is a very light shade of pink cream base, with lovely white shimmer, that gives it a kind of frosty look. By now you all know I am a super fan of Essie polishes and that I love their formula, even the bottles, and the application, etc. So there is no need to rave

I am still going through my Essie Resort collection, and it was Da bush's turn. This one is a cream greenish shade of beige. I like it but this kind of colors are not really my cup of tea. This is two coats and as you can see I think it's opaque. The formula and application was a dream, just like on all the others, and I am even pretty happy with the mini brush.  I found it pretty familiar

The next polish I tried from the Resort collection is this one, which is a bit hard to describe. It is a gray blueish cream base with a silver shimmer in it, that turns a bit green in artificial light. I did not think I would like this so much, it looked much more ordinary in the bottle, but when on my nails, it got so much more dimensions. Application and formula is just great, I used two

I got some questions about how I keep my nails and cuticules so neat. So I decided to do this post about nail care. First of all the cuticles they are very important, because as you all know if they don't look good your nails don't look good. It is very important to keep them hydrated and exfoliated. So this is what I do once a month: before applying my nail polish I apply around the cuticules a

As I looked at my mani today I found that it reminded me of something, and I took out my Touring America collection, and found a stricking resemblance between Essie your hut or mine, and OPI - My address is Hollywood Let me show you : So what do you think? I find them to be very similar, the shimmer is a bit different, but from a small distance you can't even tell. In the OPI there is more of a

I am going to redo this swatch, because these photos don't do it justice. This is actually a bit holo, but since the weather here has been shit, Iwas unable to take some decent photos of this lovely polish. I have been wanting this one for like months now, but it was never available on the sites I buy my nail polish, so when I saw this just sitting there in Sephora's OPI rack, I had to buy it

I remembered!! Yey!! Today is Wednesday and I finally remembered, because I had totally forgotten after getting back from my vacation. This is a great looking polish, it's a classic with a twist a pink cream with lots of fuchsia shimmer in it, it reminds me of the shimmer in China Glaze's Ahoy! but the final shade had nothing to do with that. The consistancy is similar to Rescue Beauty Lounge

This Flormar was the biggest dissapointement ever. The polish was very liquid and had no trace of the blue shimmer I saw in the bottle. I don't know if it's noticable on the photos. It was very hard to get opaque, this is three coats and still has some VNL, and when I finally applied my top coat I experienced the worst shrinkage ever!! So overall this polish sucks !! Don't buy it!! On top I

I got some surprising nail mail on Friday. I opened the door and saw the mail man, and then he handed me a black package and in it there were two polishes from the new Illamasqua collection. Haley their PR was kind enough to send me these two to try out. First I want to tell you that these are the polishes I would have bought myself from this collection. Ok so first of all the polishes came

Hey!! Hope everyone had a nice weekend!! I did I went looking for furniture and stuff to redo the bathroom, we will soon start renovating our new apartement, so we have to be prepared. So this polish is really too sheer to wear alone, it is a black transparent jelly base with small golden glitter. So this is more of a layering polish. This is layered over Misa I will survive a black cream polish

I was reluctant to this color from the Braziliant collection, I think it was the only one I wasn't going to buy, but on a wim I bought the whole collection. And now I am not sorry at all!! This is one of those nailpolishes that is sneaks up on you. It is a pleasant surprise. I thought it would be a boring work appropiate shade, but this is so much more than that. I can't believe I am raving about

I know this is a little late, but I had forgotten I had not swatched this one until now. I had read on several blogs that this stains bad, so I guess that's why I left it last, and finally forgot about it. It's a blue shimmer foil I would say, with turquoise sparkles.  A bit on the sheer side I would say, but hey this is a look too. I applied two coats and still had some VNL. I kinda like it,

Today's polish is a Flormar blue duochrome foil. This is part of the Supershine Miracle colors collection. It is mostly blue, but in certain lights I see some purple, that fails to come out on the photos. This is two coats and as you can probably tell, one coat of Seche vite that did the shrinking. I have found that a lot of the Flormar polishes have messed up brushes, this one was no exception.

Since I was talking about Illamasqua earlier, well I thought I'd show you the one I most liked from the two I ordered. I thought I'd like the other one better, but this one sneaked up on me. It's a chocolate brown cream. I love it, I used to think colors like this don't looks good on me, but this one I really like, even on my nubbins. This was two coats, and as you can see it is totally opaque.

I found this at Douglas in Rouen this weekend, visiting my in-laws, and I think this is part of the new fall collection - Jardin de Minuit, along with a blue polish, that looks a lot like Dior Tuxedo. But it was this one that got my attention, because it is such a unique color, something I've never seen before. It's a dark forest green, with lighter and brighter green shimmer. I like everything

First of all I hope everyone is ok, and Irene didn't do much damage. I have been following this on the news, and I saw that finally it didn't hit New York as hard as it was supposed to, so I am glad that turned out this way. Now on to the polish: I have had this polish for so long, I think it was one of the polishes that Carolina sent me in one of our swaps. But I am not sure. It's the

Oooook!! serious nubbin time!! I broke a nail and had to cut them all down, so now I have a major nubbin situation, like never before. Not even in the start of the blog did I have nails so short. I want my old nails back!! So this is another polish from my swap with Carolina, and I love it, it looks a bit like OPI Road house blues. It's a dark blue cream, a little on the purple side, but just a

Today I am going to show you a polish I thought was going to be a neon, but actually is a matte shimmer. This is part of the collection Wicked sweet, and it's a blue base with turquoise shimmer, that dries matte, not suede, matte. The particular thing about this polish is that is smells like candy, even with top coat on, I love it!! It smells really good, better than the Revlon scent ones. I

Mistletoe Mischief is actually a nail polish I got in a older swap with Carolina. It's a beautiful forest green jelly base, packed with the most gorgeous green shimmer. I applied 3 coats of this, because with two I still had VNL, but even 3 still has some, but I don't mind, because I love the shimmer - looks like a Christmas globe. I don't know why I didn't try it untill now. The formula is

We went to Marseille this weekend, to attend the wedding of a friend of my husbands. And this polish is what I wore for 3 days. It's a coral cream polish, very lovely color, corals are one of my favourites. Application was effortless, and the formula is excellent as on all the Orlys I've tried. Two coats was enough for complete opacity, and today I thought about adding a coat of glitter to it and

The second polish I tried from my swap with Carolina is this one, and it is also part of the latest China Glaze collection Metro. So I was pretty excited to have one of these new polishes since I failed to order any on the internet. This one is a beautiful dark purple cream, looks a lot like Honk if you love OPI from the touring America collection whose swatch you can find here I loved the way it

The first polish I had to try from Carolina's package was of course her franken. I don't know what she mixed in there, but the formula is great - the brush glides off nicely and the polish dries off very neetly and is self leveling. I applied 3 coats because I couldn't get too much glitter on the brush. And it is also very shinny!! If you want to make your own, Carolina put the recepy here. The

I think I told you that I had ordered two polishes from Illamasqua, and I received them two months later, after already opening a paypal complaint, writing to the post office. I had tried to work things out with their client service, but they just kept telling me that according to their reccords I had received the package. So finally after two months I did receive it. This is one of the polishes

I have been loving pink and orange neons lately. I bought this one just before going on vacation, and now I am sorry I didn't receive it before so I could actually wear this in the pool, I love the way neons look in the water. I tried some purple neons too, but they are just not so flashy as orange and pink. So for today, my come back in the world of pink Wednesday I thought I'd post a neon. This

Before going on vacation I had arranged a swap with Carolina from Colores de Carol, and I got the package today!! I got so much nail mail today. I actually received a package from Illamasqua that I had already thought it was lost forever. So I got Braziliant, Essie resort 2011, and lots of new stuff. But for now let me show you what I got from Carolina. Nicole by OPI - I love you cherry much

I am now making up for lost time, and also tomorrow I won't be posting I think, because I am away on business. This is a polish I won on Karen's giveaway. It looks like a very subtle lavender cream in the bottle. But it is actually a lavender jelly, I have noticed this about a lot of nude polishes from Essie. I applied 4 coats of this to get a nearly opaque look, but still didn't make it. Anyway

Hey everyone!! Sorry for the long hiatus, but I've been on vacation, I was really worn out!! I had absolutely no time to update the blog, because I was off doing stuff each and every day of the vacation. I went to the Island of Kos in Greece, and then back home. And for the nail polish news, I have for you today a long time lemming of mine - this is a limited edition Dior, for the summer 2011. I

The other Dior polish I bought two days ago. This one is a dark purple cream and it great too. This is two coats of perfection. So in other news I think this will be my last post before vacation. For two weeks I will be gone, and won't be posting. I will make it up to you when I get back. Kisses & Hugs everyone!

I went by Marionnaud's yesterday because I wanted to buy a mascara Dior Extase and I had a coupon for 7.5€, and they had an offer of buy two make up products get one free, so I chose two Dior nailpolishes. I love these polishes, they are amazing quality and pigment. I choose two nail polishes from the last collection Blue Label and Purple Mix. Today's polish is Blue Label a very dark blue cream

This was another great lemming for me, that Karen killed when I won her giveaway. This is a grey cream that looks a bit brownish too. I love the formula of these Essies!! and the application is so good too. I applied 3 coats, because I thought I still saw bald spots after 2 coats. But the bright side is, that even after 3 coats it did not shrink with Seche vite. On top I applied a design from my

Hello Hello!! Vacation is getting close, I  can't wait. We are going back to my country Romania - I miss it so much every day, and one week in Greece on the isle of Kos I love Greece too!! So I am super excited, I've been working so hard, and I've had enough of it!! Today's pink Wednesday is a polish I won in Karen's giveaway - Thank you Karen!! It's a kind of dusty pink cream. This is two coats.

This is other Sephora polish I got the other day, and this was not disappointing at all. It is a dark blue cream base with blue and purple shimmer in it, which gives it a kind of duochrome hint and overall looks more blue than purple. It looks awesome in the regular version, and awesome matte, it becomes a suede. This was two coats, and I can't find anything wrong with this polish. It's

I don't normally buy Sephora polishes, because I find them to be a bit overpriced 5€ for 5ml, but when I saw this bottle I fell in love. It is actually not that cool on the nail though. It's silver shimmer with red shimmer mixed together, and when it applies it turns out pink. The formula is great, and the application is too, I am not a fan of the brush though, it's the rounded tip kind. It was

Oh I have lots to say about these two... Catrice is a brand I hadn't used until my trips to Lausanne, were I stumbled upon Coop supermarkets and found they carried Catrice, Essence and lots of other goodies. I bought this one because of it's subtle little blue glitter. It's a dark blue cream base, with very small blue glitter, it is similar to Mavala Smokey blue that I swatched way back here but

I promise I will stop with the Kikos. This one is a lanvender colored cream polish. This was 2 coats and application was smooth, formula is great, but I think it need to dry a bit off before applying the top coat, because I didn't wait at all and had some shrinkage. But everything is just great with this polish. I don't think it looks that good on me, but it is a great color. I added a coat of

My camera had a total freak out when it saw this color, so the real color is a bit more electric than what you see on the screen, but since I can't work Photoshop because I suck at it, I left them like they were. This is a bright green cream, that applied really well and opaque in two coats. Kikos are really awesome, see how they shine !!! And on top I added one of my Kleancolors - Twinkly love.

First of all sorry for the crappy frequency I've been posting at, but I have some good excuses. I have been working like crazy and the free time I do have I have been spending it searching for decoration ideas for our new appartement, and today I had an interview with the bank, and we are really on a tight shedule. Now on to this polish. I bought it of Transdesign, but I am not so sure about it.

Another great polish from my swap with Carolina! This one is part of the Tronica collection and it is a beige holo. I applied 3 coats because I used a normal base coat, and as you all now holos don't really get along with your run of the mill base coats. I really loved the polish, except we bearly had some sunshine to profit from it's holoness, but there was a bit of sunshine which I really

I am too excited to wait any more to show this. I started with Pina Parie 51 which was a bit difficult on the application because of the brush that was curved. My guess is that they put normal bottle brushes in small bottles and it touched the bottom of the bottle and it tilted. So that made the application super complicated and that's why my mani is a bit messed up. But the polish on the other

Hello everyone!! I am so sleepy I don't know if I am too tired, or if I just haven't had enough coffee. I can't concentrate on my work, and I only want to sleep, so I decided to do a post. And it's Wednesday again!! I saved this for today it's a gorgeous fuchsia cream pink with some blue hints in it. Or is it just the fact that I am tired that's making me see blue in it. Don't know. I applied two

I was a bit dissapointed by this George. It is a neon orange cream, but it's not quite neon, because the formula was just like on a cream, drying time also, and application. That was not the dissapointement though. The thing about this polish is that it wears badly, it has tip wear and small chips in two days. It also get scratched and even with the top coat on, I simply don't understand that.

I wore this Kiko for two days before taking it off, and the pictures were taken right before. It's a dark dusty purple, leaning towards a soft brown. I love the color, but it doesn't look that good on me. Application is excellent and formula too, I think all Kiko creams have the same one. I placed an order on Beautyjoint that is a site that I've recently discovered with the help of Lily , to buy

This is not quite a holo in the traditional way, it's a shimmer gold base, with very small holo glitter. I think that is the best way I can describe it. It's not like the other polishes in this collection that is the 3D collection. The other ones are clearly holos and you can see the swatch of Hi-tech here, the swatch of Hi-Res here, and Cyberspace here. These other ones are not linear holos but

Essie Cantaloupe is exactely what it says it is the color of the Cantaloupe or a faded peach color. It's a cream and it needed about 3 coats for opacity. I had some trouble with the application on this one, even with the second coat it had streaks, but the third one did the trick. Still I found this weird, because usually Essie cream are perfect in two coats. Anyway because of the three coats, I

And another one from my swap with Carolina, I had this on for about 3 days and it didn't chip, I just had some tip wear. It's a fuchsia redish colored cream, that becomes opaque in two coats. Application and formula are great just as OPI has always had, and I guess there's nothing more to say, this is an OPI and that says it all. Photos: Artificial light Natural sun light Natural light

I picked this up at Cyra Lido and it was about 4,30€. It is pretty ok price wise. Peggy Sage polishes are amazing quality, the brush is great and makes application easy, formula is good - it's always opaque in two coats.I am super tired so if I make any mistakes don't pay attention to them. This is a sort of charcoal blue cream with purple and blue shimmer. I applied two coats, and it looks

I really really loved this shade, and I have my reasons. It's a blue toward turquoise blue cream, the formula is amazing just la on all Kiko, and the application is pretty ok too, with the flat brush. But the color, oh that color!! it's deep like the sea, and it shines like water in the sun! I wore it for only a day so I can't tell you about the wear on this one, but Kiko is usually ok, in this

I am falling in love with Essie polishes!! I love them more and more, at first I thought that they were boring, but now I see that the formula is wonderfull, the brush is great, and the polishes always look amazing on my nails. The finish is super shinny, and they always get opaque in two coats. Ok I've gushed enough! This is part of the 2011 Wedding collection, and it is was won by me in

This is a first for me, a Hema polish!! These are found in Hema stores, and retail for about 3€, and I find them to be very good quality nail polish. This does not have a name, or I wasn't smart enough to find it on the bottle. It's a pink base with pink and purple shimmer. It needed 3 coats for opacity but I loved the final look. I bought two of these, I will show you the other one on another

Well I have finally swatched the last Katty Perry nail polish. Yey!!!! I have not loved them. Not one! I am not a fan of these colors, don't even know why I bought them. This one is not the best of all of them. I put on two coats and still had bald patches here and there. I am not saying these are not good polishes but I am just not a fan of these shades. This is a dark red jelly with lots of

I got this in a swap with Carolina a few months ago, and just to show you how everything moves in slow motion in Europe, it is just now that this nail polish showed up at stores here. This is a blue green shimmer - the name kinda says it all, it's like looking in the water, sometimes it looks blue sometimes it looks green. I had a hard time capturing the blue in it though. The application was

I am going to rave about this one!! It is one of those colors that sit in my stash for months before being tried and when I finally do, I wonder why I haven't done so much earlier. It looks grey in the bottle but it is more than that, it's a bit purple too, and a bit blue too. It's definitelly a cream, and I think you can get away with only one coat because it is pretty thick as formula, but

And I decided to try another George polish. This one is a classic fire red cream. I like the shade of red this is, but the application was a drag, I don't know why, maybe it's the brush, but I had lots of clean up to do afterwards, and I really don't do clean up usually. I applied two coats and drying was super fast, and I had no shrinking. So that's a plus. The price on these is like 1£ I think,

This is a real gem, I found it in London, and it is such a unique polish. This is an English brand I think, it retails for 5£ and the bottles are 5.5ml. So it's pretty expensive, but in small quantities it's ok. I have to say that the polish scene is much more develloped in England, I saw LA colors, Barry M, the new Revlon collection was already out there and they had an offer at Boots 2 for 8£,
