China Glaze - Anchors Away - Knotty

Dear readers

Since saturday I live together with my boyfriend. It is great and I love being together with him all the time. It is a complete new phase in my life and it is great. The cats are still a little confused, but they feel better every day. It exactly three weeks our pup is coming. Also very exciting. Plus today I started with my new study Psychology. Everything is zo exciting. An other great thing is that now I live here and everything is settled down I have more time to blog!

Starting with Knotty. I totally loved this shade and the fine shimmer in it. I believe it is a great nailpolish, but the color of your skin is very important with this one. For example, for me this is not a great color. It is somehow to close to my skintone and it looks weird. But it is really a nailpolish to try out, because if you have a good match it might be gorgeous and subtle.

China Glaze - Anchors Away - First Mate

Dear readers

I love blues, all kinds of blues, but some are prettier than others. First Mate is a blue that is perfect in my eyes. It is pretty and dusty. The structure of the polish is great too. Plus the price of China Glaze nail polishes is great too.

China Glaze - Anchors Away - Sunset Sail

Dear readers

I wanted to try this nailpolish so bad, because it is a gorgeous peachy nude with soft silver shimmer in the bottle. Finally I could try it out, but what a great disappointment.. Look at the picture.. This is the kind of nude/peach that does not match with my skintone at all. Which means that it obviously will match with other skintones, but before you buy this one check if you have the same skintone as me. There are tons of nudes that will match, but this one doesn't.

I have to say that the structure of the nailpolish and the long lasting and everthing is perfectly and the same as we are used to with China Glaze nailpolishes. Just the color wasn't ment for me. :(

China Glaze - Anchors Away - Life Preserver

Dear readers

Orange is one of my favorite colors. When I saw the promo pictures from China Glaze - Anchors Away I was excited to see and try this one. It was pretty different compared to the promo pictures, but I like this kind of different orange. Everybody is trying to describe it as well as possible, but I heard someone say 'burned orange' and I believe that is what is really is. It is real nice, try it.

Red is so pretty and classic on the nails, but somehow all reds seem the same to me, but very recently I tried on Zoya Sooki, Zoya Maura and China Glaze Hey Sailor and wow! There was a large difference! I think I need to buy alot more red nailpolishes!

China Glaze - Anchors Away - Below Deck

Dear readers

Sorry sorry, my boyfriend returned from his holiday and I spend whole weekend with him and had no time to blog. So more posts for today!

I want to start with one of my favorite nailpolishes of the moment. This is China Glaze - Below Deck. It is the weird grey-purple color that we all love. Many brands offer this color or one that is very close to it. To be honest I did not compare it to other colors before I bought it. So there is no reason why I choose for China Glaze, but it works great!
