Orly - Pure Porcelaine

I first saw this on Penelope's blog which I love by the way, and her nails are gorgeous. I think it looks better on her than on me, but it is a very very beautiful polish. First of all, the colour is something different comparing to other nude polishes, this is a light dusty cream pink. It is super glossy, almost like a jelly!!
And the formula is great, not runny, but just right.
I love it and wore it all day, and the second day thought I'd give it a different spin, and applied a coat of crackle.
This and Royal velvet are the only ones I bought from the Precious collection.
Here are the photos- this is 3 coats - 2 would have been enough also.

Orly Royal Velvet

This is definitely a must have, if you don't buy all the polishes in new collections, this is the must have from Orly's precious.
It' a brown jelly base, from what I can figure out, packed with rich dark blue shimmer!!
I've seen this on other blogs, and I've read that it needs 3 coats but I only applied 2 and think it looks pretty darn good this way too!!
Application is great, and the polish dries off pretty quickly too.
Because it's never enough for me, I added the cracke finish, in white from China Glaze.

Rescue Beauty Lounge - Catherine H

My first RBL - I have been dreaming of this day for a long time. This was a present from my Guest post writer - Cristina, since she was broke on my birthday she sent this to me now.
Cristina and I actually have known each other for 14 years. We haven't always been in touch, but never for too long.
She is one of my best friends, and the only one who shares my polish obsession. So I guess this is my way of saying Thank you and love you!!
So with no further adue I give you Catherine H, it was on my wishlist, and it's a beautiful mauvesque blue cream base, filled with very small violet and blue glitter. I loooove it, it is opaque in one coat, but I did two just because.
It dries off pretty fast and it is perfect, the formula is great, and the application easy as pie, the brush is nice too. Oh and it came in the most elegant little box ever brown and turqoise. The cap is silver which I love and the bottle is rectangular, I like right angles - they use pretty nicely my storage space - what can I say, I think very realistically.
Also added a top coat of lightning bolt.
So this is loooove!! Here are the photos.
Sorry for the tip wear it's Seche's fault.

Misa - Bikini with a Martini

I am officially in love with Misa polishes!!
I bought this one along with Dirty sexy money, and I love them both. This one is a jelly hot pink, it dries off to a matte finish, which I don't like on this kind of colour, so I added top coat.
The formula is great - all I needed were two coats, and it dries off pretty fast too. I also like the bottle shape and the way they write the name of the polish on the bottom in a diagonal. And I very much appreciate that the caps have Misa written on them, so for me in the sea of polishes it is easier to spot.
I thought it would look cool with a top coat of crackle so I added Cracked concrete from China Glaze
These are the pictures - they are pre nail breaking.

Chanel - Peche Nacrée

I had drooled over this one at Sephora, and my friend Mariana asked me if I wanted something in particular for my birthday and I asked for it. So this is it - it's a peachy shimmer as the name suggests, and it is so pretty, on me less pretty but I still like it. I find it to be a very girly colour.
Here are the photos - two coats and no top coat. I added a coat of Cracked Concrete.
I really like Chanel bottles, but I hate their brushes.

Milani Silver Dazzle and Glaze Crackle Lightning bolt

And the last of the one coat milani glitters, and my least favourite, not because of the quality or anything, just the color is not my thing, I prefer colors that are ... colors, I don't like grays and blacks for nail polish.
But this is some good quality glitter polish anyways, and for the fun I added a coat of Crackle Glaze.

Milani Purple Gleam and Crackle Glaze Lightning bolt

Sorry I've been mixing them up like this, but I've got so much new stuff, and am in such a rush to try them all, so this is why you are seeing one Milani one Yves Rocher, and bla bla.
Today it's another one of the one coat glitters that I really adore, these are the best glitters ever. They are not as flashy as a normal glitter, but so much prettier.
This is a purple and black small glitter, that dries off tp a gritty finish, and one coat is enough.
I put on a coat of top coat, and then thought I'd try my new Crackle Glaze Lightning Bolt. And I got this amazing result - I went by the Kiko store to buy some nail polish for my swap with Carolina from Colores de Carol (whom I adore she is always so nice to me), and the sellers were raving about my mani - I felt so good!!
So here are the photos:
