Ozotic 505

Hi ladies!

I remember so well when I first saw Ozotic 505. It was way before Picture Polish had a website that shipped internationally and also way before all the other webshops started selling it. But I wanted it, it was so awesome!! I googled and googled and finally found some nail supply store in Australia that sold them. But... not internationally. I emailed the owner and she was willing to make an exception for me. I was soooo happy! The prices were really good too. I think I bought them for around 10 australian dollars each.

Well, after receiving it back then (I guess about 3 years ago) I only wore it once or twice. So it was definitely time to use it again. And I still love it! Pictures don´t do it justice. None of the pictures I´ve seen on the web, but still I made some for you.

This is 1 coat of Zoya Raven with 2 coats of Ozotic 505.






Look at all these colors! It is teal, green, blue, purple, pink, orange and gold. Although the orange and gold aren´t that visible, only in some angles.

Can you believe I took this pictures on day 4? And I actually had my first chip after a full week!

Have a wonderful day!

Hits Phenoma Afterglow

Hi ladies!

Don´t have a lot of time, so just pics and a short message. But of course leave a message if you have a question, I´ll get back to that as soon as possible.

This is one coat of Nubar Noir and 2 coats of Hits Phenoma Afterglow.





Looks like one of the Ozotic Elytras, will have to do a comparison someday.

Enjoy your day!!

Girly Bits Shift Happens

Hi there!

Today I have my new favorite polish for you. This is so awesome! I can´t even describe it. The name just says it all: Shift Happens. And it happens all the time in all sorts of colors. My pics of this are ok, but in real life this polish is even 100 times prettier.

This is 1 coat of Nubar Noir and 2 coats of Girly Bits Shit Happens.





Get it while you can!! It´s a perfect multichrome and just glows!
Love it!!

Have a great day and thanks for visiting!

Nicole by OPI Canadian Star

Hi ladies!

Todays polish has been on my wishlist for ages!! It was really hard to get my hands on it for a decent price, but now I finally got it. Yes!!

Canadian Star is pretty sheer though. I used 4 coats... But still, I love the color soooo much! Blue purple duochrome. And yes, I know, I own lots of those by now, but this one is definitely different from the others I have.

Let´s have a look.



Excuse the horrible tipwear. I had been really busy and almost forgot to take pictures. In real life it´s a bit more purple and bit less blue. But hey, you all know what happens when blue/purple meets camera...

Hope you like it! I definitely love it!!

Have a wonderful day!

Ebalay swatches: Duochromes!!

Hello dear followers!

Today I´m showing a few swatches of the still very unknown brand Ebalay. This brand has some gorgeous duochromes which I will show you today.

All of them are swatched over 1 coat of Color Club Bewitching. And than 2 coats of the Ebalay. Unfortunately they don´t have names, just numbers.

So here we go. Let´s start with my favorite, Ebalay 005.




The color shifting isn´t that amazing in my pictures, but irl it´s pretty awesome!! It shifts from a deep plum purple to an orange gold and everything in between. Wow!

Next up is  Ebalay 011.



This one shifts purple, teal and many types of blue. Blue/purple is always hard to photograph. Or maybe it´s just me. I´ve had trouble catching the right colors on camera lately, I´m sorry for that.
This one is probably my second favorite, also really pretty.

Third is Ebalay 008



This one shifts goldish green, to orange and pink. Kind of like Space Cadet, but more vibrant. Another awesome shade!

And the last one is one I´ve showed you before, but I think it has to be in this post as well, so here we go, Ebalay 003


This one shifst green, gold and teal. Also very nice!!

They all have a similar finish as Orly Space Cadet and Model´s Own Purple Blue.

You can find Ebalay polishes at KKCenterHk. And I have a SPECIAL SURPRISE for you all. A coupon code for 10% discount. Sounds good right?!
The code is: mirannie
And you can use it untill 31st January 2013
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!

These were sent to me for review.

Models Own Indian Ocean

Hi ladies!

A few days ago I showed you Nicole One Big Happy Fame-ily. Since my new Models Own Beetlejuices came in when I was wearing them and I had read all over the place that Indian Ocean was really sheer, I decided to layer it on top of One Big Happy Fame-ily. And it turned out to be a good combo. Although I´m really curious how it would look on a darker color too.

I used 2 coats of Indian Ocean and this is the result.




In real life the colors are much more vibrant, but you just have to trust me on that one.

I do have to admit that the new Beetlejuices are a bit of a disappointment unfortunately. I really hoped they would be awesome opaque duochromes. Layered Indian Ocean looks pretty. And Copper Pot looks pretty amazing in the bottle. But I´m pretty sure Tropical Sun is not a keeper.

Thanks for stopping by!

Catrice Genius In A Bottle

Hi ladies!

Today one of my very few Catrice polishes. This is the one that is a close dupe for Chanel Peridot. And a cheap one too! Only 2,50 euro. It is a bit darker a bit more streaky, but other than that pretty close.

I used 2 coats. Application wasn´t awesome, but not too bad either.





It flashes all these great colors like Peridot: copper, gold, green.

Yes, it´s a nice substitute for the way too expensive Peridot.

Thanks for stopping by!

Ozotic 530

Hi!

Today another Ozotic since I still haven´t shown you all of my gorgeous Ozotics. This is one of the Elytra´s, the duochrome glitters. The one shown today shifts orange, yellow, red and pink. I decided to layer it over a dark navy blue instead of black. So I used my beloved 1 coater: China Glaze Little Drummer Boy.




Yes, Elytra´s are great! I love all 3 of them.

Thanks for watching/reading!

Max Factor Fantasy Fire

Hi there nail polish addicts ;-)

How are you all doing? I´m quite ok. Recently I got some of my huge lemmings, including the one I´m showing you today. This is just sooo beautiful! Unfortunately my pics don´t do it justice, but still, it really is gorgeous!

I used Orly Royal Navy as my base color, 2 coats. If you enlarge the pics you might see some of the gorgeous aqua glitter through the awesome shimmer of Fantasy Fire. I used 2 coats of Fantasy Fire as well. Got lots of compliments on this manicure. It shifts so much colors. Unfortunately I didn´t see much daylight when I was wearing this, so I had to take pics in artificial light. In real life the shimmer popped much more and you couldn´t see the vnl that´s visible in the pictures...






It´s so stunning! This might be my favorite polish at the moment.

The only downside: the bottle is really small... might need to get a back up.

In case anyone is wondering, I got this at eBay.

Thanks for stopping by!

My own Unicorn Puke

Hello!

Since I´m quite sure I will never ever own Cult Nails Clairvoyant (aka Unicorn Puke) I decided to create my own. I have so many different flakie polishes so I was sure I could create something very cool. And it worked out very well.

Ingredients:
1 coat Nubar Noir
1 coat Essence Night In Vegas
1 coat Golden Rose scale effect 11
1 coat Golden Rose scale effect 02 (my all time favorite flakie)

It looks awesome! Let´s see if you agree with me.





Look at all those colors! I mean, it´s all there: red, orange, yellow, gold, green, blue, purple. Wow!

I still want Clairvoyant though...

Thanks for visiting my blog today!

China Glaze New Bohemian collection

OMG OMG OMG! Look at this!

Oh, hi there ladies! :-) I'm just so excited I forgot to say hi first, oops...

Can someone please tell me when this will be released? Anyone? I really need to know. They look so awesome! Or maybe anyone has seen swatches of this already? I would love to know where you saw them.

Ok, just look and drool. China Glaze is going duochrome!!!


I borrowed this from http://www.nailingthis.com/

Unpredictable


Rare and Radiant

Swanky Silk

No Plain Jane


Want My Bawdy


Deviantly Daring


Ok, I know, there are some possible dupes in there, but still it looks amazing.
Rare And Radiant = Peridot?
Swanky Silk = Nubar Stardust?
Unpredictable = Sephora Moody Woman?

Looking forward to this collection as much as I do?

Ok, got some bonus pics of my daughter, just because I'm so freaking proud of her.



Individually she ended 3rd, which is pretty good considering she has been injured for the past 2 months and didn't have a lot of practice. And together with her partner they won the competition for pairs. Very soon I'll have some short movies which I will show on here.

Oh, and yes, she is tall, but she still is one of the youngest in her category, haha.

Have a great day! And thanks for stopping by!
