Essence - Hello Holo !

Hello my sweethearts !

Ok, taking pictures of a holographic polish is officially the hardest thing to do.

Every tip is welcome !

Anyway, here is Hello Holo, and gosh it's an "in-your-face-holo! -mani" ! 

I'm so sad I wasn't able to catch it in his full glory ! 

Even now, it's dark in my room and still my nails are glitter all over !

In fact it's not a "real" holo like for example the Catherine Arley's, but more like a clear polish packed with holographic glitter.

 I like it's formula, cause it doesn't take like 53279545094 coats to be opaque, I think I did 4, and trust me, it dries SUPER fast, so you won't spend HOURS to have a flashy manicure !

Look at all this ! Disco ball nails ! <3

I wish I could pull this off more often... 

Would you wear such a mani on a daily basis ? :)

Essence - What do U think (old version)

Baby where did you get your polish from ?
I got it from Ivana !

Haha ok, I'm going Bananas !

I AM GOING BANANAS OVER THIS COLOR !

I think it's absolutely lovely !

Check how it matches the new scarf I knitted ! :P

I am aware that all of my last posts include scarves, I'm sorry for that, but I'm SO into them now !

And as spring is in the city, we have to enjoy our last moments with them :)

Another thing I ADORE about this polish: it dries SUPER fast, like really, 2 minutes and you're done !

The formula is a bit streaky, so on some fingers you'll need 3 coats :)

But the color is just perfect for mid season, flashy but not too much ! 

Oh, one last thing, I think they have another version of this polish right now, it's packed with shimmer, while this has none, and I really prefer this one, Thanks again Iv' ! :)

Oh, I usually don't ask these things, but could you rate this picture for me on the link below please ?

Chanel- Paradoxal

509

What a great number, isn't it ? :) 

I got this polish when it came out from a special someone...

So when I'm wearing it, a lot of memories come back 

The color is LOVELY, really, it goes with nearly everything, it's chic and glossy and if you like those kind of colors, definitely go for it !

The only sad thing of it, is that it doesn't last long on me, it starts chipping after one night... 

any tips for making it last longer ?

On the picture above, you can see (a bit) that it's packed with purple shimmer, it's hard to capture on picture, and not always visible on the nail, but it gives dimension to the color, it adds depth and makes it more special than just a plain taupe.

I changed this last picture a bit, so it's not that color accurate,

but I think it's a nice and soft picture :)

Do you also have polished you care a lot about ?

I'd like to know which one !

Essence - Gold old Buffy (Vampire's Love collection)

Hi there ! 

Wow 250 followers ! Gosh, thank you all ! I know it's cliché to say but it's true, I never thought I'd get there ! :)

Today's post is about a black polish, it's usually not my cup of tea, but I like this one :)

Maybe it's because of the gold shimmer, and therefore it looks a bit greenish ! 

Indeed, this one has loads of shimmer in it, I love it !

the name is cool too, suits the collection well, though I didn't like Buffy, I was suuuuper scared of those series, but then again, I'm afraid of everything, even of Charmed (you guys remember that?)

Yes I'm knitting, it's a bit a grandma thing, but I like doing that, and I wanted a tube scarf, so that's why I started... but it's sooo time consuming ! :P

Btw: I did 2 coats, and 1 coat of Catrice growth supply on top, no idea why I did that :-/

Have a nice day loves !

S-he - 224

Hi there :)

As promised, I'm back with another blogspost :)

I was initially only gonna post it tomorrow, but when I write a blogpost, I'm too impatient and I want you all to see it immediately, sorry for that :-/

I got this polish a while ago from Ivana, and I don't get why I didn't wear it more often...

It's GORGEOUS !

I just love the silver shimmer in it ! Application went very well too, I did 3 coats, but actually 2 would have been enough, I just had to correct a few imperfections 

(We all know it's hard to eat when nails are wet)

Overall it's a very wearable pink, even in the winter, sometimes, I feel like some pinks are too bright to wear in cold weather, see what I mean ?

Ah isn't our puppy a cutie ?

I melt when I see this pictures :)

Catrice - Chinchilly

Hello my Sunshines ! 

I'm back ! I know, I know, I haven't posted since AGES ! 

But I'm gonna change this ! 

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to be a better blogger :)

So ladies, help me with it and tell me what you'd like to change/be improved, 

whatever it is, you name it ! 

First polish of this year is from Catrice: Chinchilly !

It's not a color that I usually wear, but it matched my outfit :) 

(You know I'm obsessed with that :P)

Overall, the polish is good quality, though, when directly against the sun, you can see trough it and I absolutely don't like that :(

After 2 coats, you're pretty much ready to go (excepted the see through in the sun effect)

It's glossy and surprisingly, the color isn't dull. There is a kind of depth to it, 

even if it's a plain creme :) 

I also ombre dyed my hair a few days ago 

(I know it's not that visible on this picture, but in real life, my tips are quite blonde/ginger, let's say strawberry blonde, and I L.O.V.E it ! :) )

So little ones, don't forget, if you want me to improve something, make regular swatches, bigger pictures, more pictures or more polish related comments, please tell me ! 

With Love, 

Xx. S
