Comparison Gosh Blue Monday and LA Girl Punk

Hi ladies!

From the bottles the 2 colors I´m comparing today actually looked a lot alike. Well, the only thing that is the same is the finish and also that they are both blue.

LA Girl Punk is much darker than Gosh Blue Monday. I have to say I prefer Punk. Punk also has a slight purple duochrome which I couldn't capture unfortunately. Blue Monday in my opinion is better used as a layering polish, since it wasn't opaque in 3 coats and I'm not sure if it would with 4. Punk could have gotten away with just 2 coats, but I used 3.

Well, here are the pictures.

Thanks for watching!

A little comparison

Goodmorning!

For a while I have been curious how close Accessorize Purple Dream and LA Girl Groupie are. Both of them are in my top 5 of favorite purples, they are gorgeous!!

I´ve only got one picture, but I think it´s a good one. Both 2 coats. Application is very good too on each of them.

On the left is Groupie and on the right is Purple Dream. I still think they are both beautiful, but I like Purple Dream just a little more.

What is your all time favorite purple?? And from the 2 in the picture?

Enjoy your weekend!

GIVEAWAY

LA Girl Punk

Goodmorning!

Today just a short one. The polish I'm showing you doesn't need a lot of talking. It's dark blue with lighter blue glitter in it and it has a purple flash. It's kind of the same as LA Girl Groupie only exactly the other way around, if you know what I mean.

Here are the pictures, it was hard to capture the purple flash, but I tried my best. This is 2 coats in daylight.

I think this is a pretty awesome color. Just like I love its sister Groupie.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Purple glitter comparison

Goodmorning to you all!

Today I´ve got a nice comparison for you. Last monday I sorted out my complete stash. Swatched a lot and made comparisons to see if I had dupes. Didn´t even had that much dupes actually, but did find some colors that I didn´t like on the nail after all.

Todays comparison is about dark purple glitter polishes. My favorites! Well, next to duochromes, holographics and flakies ;-)

Thumb to pinkie: Sinful daddy´s girl, Sinful I love you, Zoya mimi, Collistar viola glitter, LA Girl groupie. None of them are dupes.

As you can see very clearly Sinful I love you is a completely different shade. As for the other 4, they all have different colors of glitter. Groupie has blue glitter, Viola glitter has pink glitter, Mimi has purple glitter and Daddy´s girl has pink and blue and is more of a jelly polish.

When I wanted to put all of these back in my Helmer I found another purple glitter polish. Didn´t want to do all of it all over again and can only show you 5 fingers at the time of course, haha. So I chose the polish that was closest to it and compared the 2 to each other.

The last picture is a little blurry to show you the glitter even better

Well, these are definitely dupes!
On the left Milani totally cool and on the right is Collistar viola glitter. The only difference is that the Milani needed one coat more. I can´t have dupes in my stash, I already own more than enough polishes, so one of them has to go and of course I´ll keep the one that needs less coats.

Which of the above is your favorite? Do you like these kind of polishes as much as I do? I think I love them all!!

If you have any requests on comparisons, you can contact me. I like doing these, so just let me know.

Have a nice day!!

Groupie

Goodmorning ladies!

No time today to bring you something new, sorry. So here´s a NOTD I did a few days before I started my blog. It´s LA Girl Groupie. And yes, it´s purple and it has a slight duochrome and it also has blue and pink glitter, so no doubt about it that I have to love is!

Picture time!

Thanks for stopping by! And till next time!

Swapping is so much fun!

Hi guys!

It´s sunday already, that means that for some of you the weekend is almost over.

Today I want to show you all some swaps I did recently.
First up is my first huge international swap. The lovely Trista who I met at MUA was so kind to buy all the polishes I asked her to. How great is that!! All kinds of polish that are almost impossible to get when you don´t live the USA.

Here are the pictures of the package. Sit back and relax :P

Looks very nice right! Almost like it´s your birhtday!

These are all the lovelies together

Left to right (all Milani): Purple outline, HD, Dot com, Totally cool

Left to right: Claire´s calm/wild, Chameleon blue sky, Sally Hansen garnet lapis, Massini purple medallion, Claire´s flirty/shy

Since I read it was 2 for 1 for the Sinful Colors at that moment, I asked Trista to get me some surprises as well. The 4 on the right is what she got me. Great!

Left to right (all Sinful Colors): Shausha, Nail junkie, Hottie, Gorgeous, I miss you

And the last picture is CQ mint green (never heard of that brand, was also a surprise from Trista, but not my kind of color), LA Girl alkaline blue and NYX graffiti (which was completely different from the swatches I saw at Lextard, but that´s ok, still nice)

Also she put some candy, a nice card and nailfiles which looks like matches in the box.

I did some swapping before, but never as big as this one. Thanks again Trista for all the hard work you did for me. Hope you´ll receive my surprise package soon.

Yesterday I received my swap package from Cat, who I also met on MUA. Cat contacted me after reading how difficult it is to get some of the greatest polishes when you live in Europe. She told me she only had one wish: a polish of Koh. As most of you know, Koh is quite expensive. And unavailable if you live in the US. So we could help eachother. GREAT!! Cat was able to get the polishes I liked very cheap. In the end she got me 8 (!!) polishes for just 1 Koh. I feel so guilty, but she insisted doing this. So very very very nice of her!
Here are the pics.

These are the ones I asked for. Left to right: Nubar knight´s armor, Sally Hansen purple pizzazz, Sally Hansen DVD, Sally Hansen grape going, Chelsea kaleidoscope, Chelsea topic of cancer

And this is what she got me as a surprise. Color Club rev´d up and Kleancolor holo chrome and also a nice card. The Kleancolor is just awesome!!!

Thanks again Cat! This was great!

Dear readers, what do you think, is this great or what? Hope I´ll be able to show them to you as soon as possible.

I hope you enjoyed reading this, since I had such a great time unwrapping the packages, so I thought it would be nice to share that with you.

Enjoy whatever is left of your weekend!!
