One of the BEST shades of 2011: PERIDOT

Hello

Yes, it´s true, this really was one of the best shades of 2011. Well, at least that´s what I think and I know many of you agree.

But why is it so awesome? Well, it´s duochrome and I looooovvvee duochromes! But that´s not all. At the same time it´s not over the top, so you can easily wear it to work. On top of that it has the most gorgeous gold color. Most golds look a bit funny on me, but not this one, this is great with my skintone. And it´s metallic, another big plus. The only real downside is the price though. But ok, for such an awesome color it´s ok for once.

Let´s look at some pictures.

Do you agree with me? Is this the one of the best (or maybe even THE BEST) shade of 2011?

Icing Chrome Navy

Hello!

I´m kind of in a hurry, so this is going to be a short post. Sorry!!

Icing Chrome Navy is a really beautiful blue polish. Metallic navy, yeah baby!

Application was a bit difficult because of the square lid (this isn´t one of the Icing bottles that looks exactly like the China Glaze bottle) and the short brush. But the polish was ok, no problems there. I did expact it to be opaque in 1 coat, but it took 2. Oh well, still not bad. Like other metallic polishes it dried very quick, which makes it great as a base color for any kind of layering.

Here are the pics.

Color Club Voodoo You Do

Hello!

Just a few more Back To Boho´s to go :P Hang in there!
For today I chose Voodoo You Do. A difficult color to the describe. Blue/green/grey-ish metallic, or something? Application was good and I used 2 coats. I´m not really loving this color. Don´t know why, but it´s just not that special or something. Oh well, they can not all be winners, right? I do like the name though.

Here are my pics.

Do you like this one? And how would you describe this color?

Thanks for visiting me today!

Bloom Bianca + stamping

Hi there!

Today a quick one. 2 weeks ago I showed you Bloom Bianca and today it´s back with a konad on top. I used China Glaze Cherish and plate BM-201.

I like how these colors combine. And I love this pattern! You will be seeing this again on my blog, I´m sure.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sephora Moody Woman

Hello!

Today I´ll show you the first of the Sephora polishes I recently bought. When I looked at the bottle it gave me sort of a Peridot feeling. Except this one doesn´t have much gold. It actually has the same colors, but in a different order, haha, if you know what I mean.
Besides the Peridot feeling I got, it also reminded me of Bloom Bianca which I showed you last week. Although I´m sure I like this one a lot better.

I used 2 coats and the application was very good.

Maybe you should click the pics to see the gold in the first one. It´s hard to capture, but in some angles it´s definitely there.

What do you think of this shade? Pretty nice, right?

Thank you for visiting my blog and have a great day!

Kleancolor Metallic Red and Chunky Holo Scarlet

Hi ladies!

Another 2 Kleancolors for today. I really like this brand. Some of them have some application issues, but most of them are great. Especially the metallics.

I used 1 coat of each and somehow I don't have a lot to say about this mani. I just like it very much!!
So just enjoy the photos.

The last 2 pictures are Metallic Red on its own.

Thanks for visiting me today!

Kleancolor Metallic Sapphire and NYX Turks and Caicos

Goodmorning!

Don't you just love a good metallic polish that is opaque im one coat? I suggest you get all the metallic polishes from Kleancolor then. They are awesome. Very easy to work with, one coaters and great colors! So far I own red, black, purple and sapphire. The last one I'm showing you today. Gorgeous blue!!!

I actually added Turks and Caicos by NYX because I'm in a huge glitter mood lately. Also easy to apply. Turks and Caicos is light blue jelly with multicolored glitter. I've heard it might be a dupe for one of the Katie Perry polishes. But I can't do a comparison because I don't have that one. If they.are dupes, this is definitely the cheaper version.

Unfortunately I'm still writing my posts on my cellphone and can't organize the pictures the way I want them too. So the pics with and without glitter might be mixed up.
Soon I'll have a break from work and I hopen I've got some time to fix my laptop than.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Konad with China Glaze Admire

Hello ladies!

I realized I hadn´t shown you a konad creation in a while now. And since I recently got the new Essence imageplates I decided to give you some konad today. The stupid thing is that each time I use stamping nail art I get reminded how much I like it. Why don´t I use it more often?? I´ve got lots of images that I have never used.

Well, ok, so finally some konad again, yay! I used China Glaze Admire to do the stamping. Now I can almost hear you thinking: "Isn´t that a pink polish?" And the answer is: yes. I´m still looking for a perfect light purple metallic polish to stamp with, something as pigmented as Romantique and Khrome collection from ChG, but I haven´t found it yet, so for now a light pink will do.
Oh, and I used yesterday´s Eggplant Frost to stamp on.

Well, ok, I´m still not great at stamping. But from a distance you don´t see all my flaws :-)

Till tomorrow!

Claire´s Emerald City

Hello ladies!

Another Claire´s polish today. It´s green and it´s metallic, yay! This polish dried really fast, I was surprised. I didn´t wear this yet, only swatched this. After painting 4 nails, the first one was already dry! So if you´re not fond of always using quick dry topcoat, this is a perfect polish for you.

This is 1 coat of Emerald City

I especially like how it looks in the first picture (artificial light).

That´s all for now, hope to see you back here tomorrow!

$OPI mini bottles, can anyone identify them please?

Hello ladies!

Hopefully you´ll be able to help me out. Recently I received two mini bottles of Sephora by OPI, but I have no idea which ones they are, so maybe one of you ladies can tell me.

Bottle pic

The purple is a creme. Very nice shade! I used 2 coats.

The green one is a metallic. Pretty awesome! I especially like it in artificial light (maybe sunlight too, but there wasn´t any). This is also 2 coats.

This one might be Leaf Him At The Alter, but I´m not sure.

So if anyone recognizes one of the shades, please tell me their names.

Thanks for stopping by!
