Girly Bits Star Spangled

Hello!!

So today I have another Girly Bits polish. This is one of the Indy brands. I have to say I´m not all that impressed about 99% of all Indy polishes. They aren´t all that unique, they all copy each other. Mostly glitter topcoats with huge glitter in all sorts of shapes, not my thing. And last but not least, most of them are overpriced. I understand that producing just a few makes it more expensive, but still. That said, I do like some of them. Especially the 3 Girly Bits that I have :D. Today I´ve got Star Spangled for you. Very pretty!

Star Spangled is a sheer blue with blue, red and silver glitter. I love it!

For my pictures I used 3 coats. Next time I will use it over a dark blue base coat, just to save the polish.

I apologize for the poor clean up. When I put it on it was already starting to get dark and I wanted to catch the last daylight, so I decided to do the clean up later.

So what do you think? Like it, love it or hate it? I love it!

Thanks for stopping by!!

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!!

Cult Nails Seduction

Hi there!

After missing out on Clairvoyant, I knew I had to have the pretty Cult Nails Seduction. And it´s awesome! Get it while you can!

It has a purple jelly base with multicolor flakes. Nice!!

I used 1 coat of OPI Funky Dunkey and 2 coats of Seduction.

If you are a flakie lover like me you must admit you love this too.
This is really beautiful!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Claire´s Magnetix Blue

Hi ladies!

Sorry for being absent for so long, but sometimes I just can´t find time to blog.

Todays polish is one I wanted for a long time. Well, I actually wanted the Icing one. But then I saw this in the newly opened Claire´s just a few steps from my home and decided it must be the same.

This is just 1 coat. The dark blue is actually leaning much more purple in real life which makes this magnetic polish so cool!

I just wish this picture was a bit better so you can see why I love this so much.

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

Up Colors Beijo Na Boca

Hello!

Recently I placed an order at Llarowe. They have so many great brands that I couldn´t resist. And the shipping fee is not ridiculously high.

One of the polishes I got is from Up Colors and is called Beijo Na Boca. No idea what that means, but ok, not important. It has a sheer jelly pink base with red and green flakies in it. The color shifting in those flakies was stronger than I expected. From swatches I had seen I thought it was mostly green and red what you were seeing. Nice surprise!

I used the black holo from Glitter Gal as I hoped the holo would still be visible after layering the flakies, but unfortunately not... I used 2 coats of Beijo Na Boca.

I still can´t get enough of flakies. They are in my top 3 of favorite polishes. Maybe it´s even my number one, I can´t decide.

Do you like flakies as much as I do?

Thanks for watching!!

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.

Hits Apolo and Hera

Hi ladies!

For todays manicure I couldn´t decide which one of my Hits I was going to wear first. So I decided to put both of the holos I got together in one mani.

Hits Hera and Hits Apolo. Both very beautiful shades that are really shiny. Most holos dry slightly matte, but these almost looked like jellies. Very beautiful! Application was good and both needed 2 coats. Which is a good thing, because the bottle is really small, so if they would need 3 coats, the polish would be gone in like 5 manicures. Now I hope I can at least enjoy them 7 times :P

Here are some pics for you guys.

The teal one is Hera and the blue one is Apolo. Unfortunately it wasn´t all that sunny the day I used these 2 pretties, but trust me, they are HOLO!

Which one is your favorite Hits holo?

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

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!

Lippmann Mermaid´s Dream

Hello!

Today I´ve got an awesome polish for you. I´m not really a fan of these type of mint green polishes usually, but when I saw a promo pic of this one for the first time, I knew I had to have it. It´s gorgeous!

It´s not really mint green, I would call it seafoam green or something and it has small gold glitter and larger blue glitter. Its name matches perfectly.

I used 2 coats. Application was good. The only downside is the price. I mean, why on earth do some brands need to make their polish so much more expensive than others? It´s not like you get much better wear out of it, or much better application than other cheaper brands.

Anyway, let´s look at the pics.

Really stupid of me, but I forgot to take pics. So when I finally did take pictures, the sun was already gone... It does look more beautiful in the sun.

Enjoy your day!!

A-England Tristam

Hi there!

Not much to say about the pretty navy blue holo I´m showing you today. It´s holo, it´s smooth, applies like butter, 1 coater and I love the color.

Just drool with me :P

The rainbow is much stronger in real life, but ok...

Love it!

Thanks for watching!

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.
