Orly - Cosmic FX - Galaxy Girl

Dear readers

Announcement: Tomorrow The Color Palette will introduce a new brand!

So today I did my first exam of my master and well it looked easy, but it was pretty hard and I am not sure if I did it right. Now I have to wait 3 weeks for the results. We'll see.

I was very lucky that I could catch some of the wonderful sunshine today in my backyard, but ofcourse I was already into fall and I was wearing this beauty today: Orly - Cosmic FX - Galaxy Girl. This one is my favorite, but the structure is so great on all of them, totally love it! Do you?

A little note: the pictures are difficult to take, but if you look at the bottle picture and the macro picture that is how it really shows on the nail. Absolutely worth trying!

Nubar - Chocolate Truffles - Cherry Cordial

Dear readers,

Tomorrow my first exam of the year, it is not difficult, but still I am a little nervous.

Before we start with the nailpolish part I want to wish Afra a Happy Birthday!

Today we are going to talk about an underdog of Nubar. It's called Cherry Cordial and as for as I know this one didn't get alot, enough, attention. So I will show it to you. It is a very nice duochroom for the fall. The colors are brown, green, pink, gold and a little purple. It's very hard to capture duochrome nailpolishes properly on camera, but the bottle gives a very good example.

Dear readers

Yeah! We have a little sunshine today and last night I finished my summery for the test so I am going to learn in my backyard! Finally sun! But we have to admit that well, this is for a little while because the fall is really coming up. That is why I want to show you a marvelous fall color today it is called Essie - Fall 2011 - Little Brown Dress. Like the name! This is a very rich deep brown color and it is perfect for the fall. You might want to click the picture of the swatch, because it is so rich it looks a little like black, but it is really dark dark brown. Enjoy:

China Glaze - Metal Crackle - Latticed Lilac

Jeej! We are almost there! Only 1 more follower and then the giveaway will start! I have many options for the prices, but there will be O.P.I. and China Glaze for sure!

Today I want to show you the last Metal Crackle from China Glaze. It's is called Latticed Lilac and when I saw swatches of this one, well I wasn't impressed at all. All the others were nice, more outstanding, glitters and this one well it wasn't. It is a little bit a muted color which probably made it look that way. So I waited and waited with trying it out and what a nice surprise if it isn't as bad as you thought in the begining! A big note for this one: use a right dark color as a base color, because otherwise it wouldn't always look that pretty.

Essie - Fall 2010 - Haul

Dear readers

The fall.. well it is not my favorite season. My birthday is in november that is nice, but well that is pretty much it. The leafs are falling down it is raining all the time but what I hate the most is the upcoming cold. I really don't like that, so the fall and the winter are just not my favorite times of the year. But there is another upside than only my birthday and that is that there are amazing nailpolish collections in the fall! Like the one I would like to talk about today. This is the Fall 2010 collection from Essie. By the way today I expect all the new Essie collections including the brand new Winter 2011!

But first last years fall. I totally love this collection! At this moment I only own Sew Psyched, which I found a very strange color, but it really looked good on me :) But I want so many more!

Orly - Sweet - Gumdrop

Dear readers

If you like nailpolish you know China Glaze - Something Blue - For Audrey, right? But know everybody is familiar with Orly - Sweet - Gumdrop. I own the China Glaze version, but I admit that the structure of the Orly nailpolish is much much better. The application is so easy and the color is very pretty and long lasting. If I didn't own For Audrey I would go and buy Gumdrop instead. Do you own one of these? What do you think about these kinda mint turquoise blue green colors?
