piCture pOlish blog fest: Cowboy

Goodmorning on this kind of special day!

Two months ago the ladies from Picture Polish sent out an email asking who wanted to enter their Blog Fest. Meaning: lots of blogs posting Picture Polish shades on the same day. The polishes were provided by them for free. Which is extremely kind!! I decided it would be fun to participate. Of course they got lots of emails, but I was lucky to be chosen to represent the Netherlands :-)

The shade I received was Cowboy. It's a very nice taupe creme. Maybe you can even call it almost milk chocolate. Very work appropriate, which is a good thing, because I don't have a lot I can wear to work, haha.

I totally liked the brush and the application. Flawless and smooth. And it was opaque in just one coat. How great is that?! Always a good thing! What usually happens with me and 1 coat cremes, is that it somehow starts to crackle (yes, almost like shatter polish) when I apply topcoat, but no such thing happened. Another plus!!

There was a downside though. The polish chipped within a few hours. That's not something I'm used to. Since I received this polish for free and didn't want to be impolite, but at the same time I really want to be honest to my readers. So I contacted the ladies from Picture Polish and explained them my dilemma. They totally understood that I didn't want to lie and told me to write whatever I want to write about it. And they also explained that Picture Polish is supposed to be a 2 coat system. I was supposed to try that before this Blog Fest, but I just didn't have time. So eventhough it's opaque in just 1 coat, you should just use 2 to avoid chipping.

And if you are wondering if this shade is pretty on other skin tones too, I can tell you it definitely is. I tried it on 2 nails of my daughter, her skin is a few tones darker than mine, and it looked even more beautiful. Since she really hated the color, she wouldn't even let me take a picture of it, hahaha. But I can imagine that. She's a kid, she just wants bright colors.

Enjoy the pics and enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by!

one more thing: if you know any other blogs that participate in this blog fest, please leave me a comment :-)

Picture Polish Sparkle

Hi ladies!

I showed you the Ozotic Elytra collection yesterday and I told you I bought them at Picture Polish. Well, Picture Polish actually have their own line of polishes too. A while ago I saw a swatch of Picture Polish Sparkle at another blog and was quite impressed by it. So since I was ordering from Picture Polish anyway, I decided this would be the one I should definitely try.

Sparkle is a silver polish with some sort of pearl finish (which makes it a bit streaky) with lots of multicolored glitter. You mostly see the blue glitter in my pics, but really, there are a lot of colors.

I used 2 coats, which was fine, but definitely not enough for the pictures, ooops... should have done a 3rd coat. Application was good. I expected the glitter to disappear in the base, but it didn´t, nice!

And nail pics.

Do you like it? I really do! I don´t own anything like it and I don´t think I´ve ever seen anything like it, so that makes it unique.

Thanks for watching!
