Sally Hansen Purple Potion + my new Del Sol arrived!!

Hi ladies!


Just recently I discovered they started selling Sally Hansen at Kruidvat, yay! Kruidvat is a drugstore here in the Netherlands that sells Catrice, Rimmel, Essence, Gosh and some other stuff. They already had treatments from SH before, but since a week or 2 they sell SH X-treme wear line. Not like a whole lot, I think I saw about 10 shades, of which 70% was red or pink. Bummer! But they also had Purple Potion, the one I´m showing you today. Looking at the price tag I thought I was getting a heart attack. Ok, ok, that was a bit exaggerated, but I was a bit shocked. The price is 8 euro! Can you believe it? I think these cost around 3 dollars in the US, so you can almost buy 4 of these babies in the US for the same price you can buy 1 here in the Netherlands. Not fair! Well, I did bring Purple Potion home anyway and I´m glad I did! Love that color. Purple with blue flash. Not that I don´t have anything like that, but this is different from others I have. Luckily.


This is 2 coats. Application was good, which I almost always experience with Xtreme Wear from Sally Hansen. Drying time was average.

Gorgeous and vivid purple!!

When I was wearing this the sun was actually shining and at that moment the mail man came with my Del Sol Trick or Treat. I didn´t want to take of Purple Potion right away, but I did know I had to take advantage of the sun, otherwise it might take a long time before I could show you Trick or Treat. Del Sol polishes change color in the sun, so awesome! Most of their shades are frosts, which I don´t really like, but this one is a glitter, yay!
So I removed the polish from my ring fingers and applied Trick or Treat (which was released last Halloween, which won´t be a surprise with a name like this). It is rather sheer, so it needed 3 coats.

Here it is inside

An orange jelly with holo glitter. Pretty cool! It´s actually not a true orange, more of an amber shade I guess.

Then I went outside for pictures, and this is what I saw

It turned into plum/purple. Beautiful! It´s a shame you can not really see the holo glitter, because with that effect it´s even more awesome.

After this I ran inside again to see how fast it changed. Here´s the result.

As you can see, it changes back pretty fast.

All together I have to say I love both polishes. Will absolutely do a full manicure with the Del Sol when we have more sun out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sun! change my polish please

Hi guys!

Today I´m showing you one of the Del Sol polishes. They change in the sun. So as soon as I got home yesterday I swatched it for you, since lately it seems you can never be sure of sun. So no time to waste. And I´m glad I did since again there´s no sun today... 
This is Rock Star. Without sun it actually looks like China Glaze dorothy who? (just a little less glitter) but in the sun it changes into another shade. This is 3 coats. The first 2 pictures were taken inside, the other 2 were taken outside.

It turned into a kind of teal shade. Since it was the end of the day, the sun wasn´t that bright anymore. I think it would turn into dark green if you would go out in the sun in the middle of the day. Unfortunately I couldn´t capture the glitter.

What do you think? Pretty cool right? I like polishes that have just that little bit extra.

Stay tuned for my NOTD that will follow soon :-)

Ciao,

Miranda

Another swap has arrived

Hello!

So I received another swap package yesterday. Another 9 polishes that were very difficult for me to get my hands on. But the lovely Erin got them for me. I wanted to share these pretties with you, so here is the picture.

Top row from left to right: Sally Hansen laser, Sally Hansen virtual violet, Nina Ultra Pro purple xing, Del Sol superhero, Del Sol rockstar

Bottom row from left to right: OPI holiday glow, Sinful daddy's girl, Sinful let's talk, Sinful deep red ocean

Some of you might have never heard of Del Sol. It's a company that makes stuff that changes color in the sun. The funny thing is I had a t-shirt from this company like 10 years ago. A few months ago I came across these polishes and wanted to have them right away. As soon as the sun comes out again, I will show you one of these.

I'll have a NOTD coming up for you as well, so stay tuned :-)

Bye bye!
