Barry M’s Vivid Purple

Some old pictures of Barry M’s Vivid Purple.

 

Gina Tricot’s Sparkling Hot

Gina Tricot’s Sparkling Hot. One of the best autumn polishes 😀

Love & Beauty’s Charcoal

Here are some really old pictures of a favorite polish of mine. Usually charcoal polishes tend to be a bit bland and borins. Love & Beauty’s Charcoal is far from boring and it even has a perfect formula; easy to apply opaque at one generous coat and it dries fast.

Gina Tricot’s Shimmer Pink

Even though pink is a lovely vibrant color pink polishes sometimes look just… dull with shimmer. Gina Tricot’s Shimmer Pink is a raspberry pink polish full of lighter pink shimmer.

While the formula was decent I’ve come to expect more of Gina Tricot’s polishes.

Zoya’s Song

I’ve been absent laely to put it mildly and the reason is both time restrictions and general disinterest. I’ve decided to empty my archive/draft pile and then end it! Some posts will be only pictures and some will have a little text… I hope it serves some kind of purpose atleast 🙂

Today I have Zoya’s Song for you. It is a lovely medium blue polish packed full of shimmer in lighter blue. So lovely 🙂 and incredibly easy to apply, opaque at one generous coat and dries very fast.

Flushed to the extreme

Even though I enjoy wearing my cremes alone I usually end up creating some kind of nail art on top. This time there’s no nail art but a wonderful addition to NYX’s Extreme Purple is Cult Nails’ Flushed (the amount of pictures is directly proportional…).

Flushed is a lovely purple base with color shifting shimmer that has an incredible glow…

 

Gina Tricot’s Candy Pink

As far as pale pinks goes, Gina Tricot’s Candy Pink is one of the prettier and more flattering ones. It contains golden shimmer that gives it a cute glow and a little more depth 🙂

Application was good, two coats were needed for opacity and it dried reasonably fast.

Claire’s Disco Inferno: Pink with silver shimmer

Crazy pink huh? This little pink gem with silver shimmer was part of Claire’s set Disco Inferno. It’s a true pink neon that dries really, really matte and needed about six (!) coats for opacity. I didn’t mind as each coat was dry before I was done with painting all five nails 🙂

Circus!

Cult Nails’ orange toned red shimmer Annalicious is the base for a manicure that reminds me of the circus or an amusement park 🙂 I used Innisfree’s glitter 107 with its mix of bar and hex glitter in a multitude of colors for the sloppy gradient.

For once I’m actually posting a NOTD; I’m wearing this to work today!

Cult Nails’ Annalicious

The first to be swatched (and worn for two days… hence the tip wear) from my haul from Cult Nails is Annalicious. It is such a lovely shimmery orange based red full with red and golden shimmer.

It was a dream to use; easy to apply, fully opaque at two generous coats and dried very fast.

As you can see it was hard to photograph accuratelythough; the two first pictures are showing the color with way too much blue in it and the three other pictures are a tad too orange. A mix of them would give a fair representation of the lovely color.
