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!

But before I show you the wonderful collections of Zoya I would like to show a metal crackle today. When I got them this was the first one I tried out, because I thought I would like this one the best. And I was right :) Platinum Pieces is not just a silver, it is much more! Check out the pictures and let me know what you think about it.

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?

Milani - One Coat Glitter - Silver Dazzle

Hi girls

I know I showed you yesterday a Milani - One Coat Glitter and normally I don't show two days after  each other from the same collection, but I really need to show you this one, because it is sooo cool. The structure and the opacity of the nailpolish is the same, so use 2 coats and you have a full glitter manicure in no time. Dry time is also very quicky. Oke so it is a great polish, but today it is all about the color. Because in silver dazzle there is more than just silver and black glitter and I am so happy I could caputure it with the camera. There is purple/lilac and green in it also check out the pictures!

Milani - One Coat Glitter - Purple Gleam

Goodmorning ladies

Today is another busy day. First a seminar group this morning, working on our project this afternoon, straight to my work in the gym and at the end of the day I'll go to my boyfriend and just relax. It is one of those days that just needs to happen, but the end of the day is good :)

Today I want to show you one of those marvelous nailpolishes from Milani. I was very sceptical at first and when I saw the bottles.. well it looked like any other glitter nailpolish. But when you use it you will notice it is way more compact and opaque than other glitters. This doesn't mean that one coat is really enough, but it is about the comparison with other glitter nailpolishes. That is why Milani's One Coat Glitter is special. I used two coats in the picture. I would really recommend this one to others who like to wear glitter but think it is too much work, this one dries also very fast. Really nice to work with.
