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!

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!

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 Aqua Violet

Hello!

Today another one from the Models Own Beetlejuice collection. Before I start talking about Aqua Violet, I firt want to let you know that you can order the new Beetlejuices from monday the 19th at www.modelsownit.com . I´m really going to order these, they look so awesome.

Well, on to Aqua Violet. Amazing when I looked at the promo pics. Kind of boring in the bottle. But gorgeous on the nail!! You should really get this if you like duochromes like I do.

I used 3 coats, application wasn´t a problem. It shifts from teal, to ocean blue, to purple. Nice right?!

Here are my pics.

The color shifts are a lot stronger than you can see here in the pictures. It´s always hard to photograph a duochrome.

What do you think of this one? And are you going to get the new Beetlejuice collection?

Have a great day and thanks for looking!

Wet ´n Wild Teal Of Fortune

Hi ladies!

Today I´ve got a really nice polish for you. Teal Of Fortune from Wet ´n Wild. When I was in Miami last october I picked this up at Walgreens. I hardly ever buy polish without seeing swatches, but on that holiday I bought a huge amount of polishes which I hadn´t seen before. This is one of them.

Yesterday I decided it was about time to try this polish. After the first 2 coats I seriously thought I but another Charla dupe. How in the world is that possible?!! In the bottle it definitely looks darker. And yes, after a 3rd coat it really did look different enough to justify owning both.

It´s a nice teal shimmer with gold micro glitter. Same sort of finish as Zoya Charla and Zoya Ivanka, but with a little less gold.

Pictures!

Nice!!! Well, that´s my opinion. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Models Own Purple Blue

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU! Hope this year all your dreams come true!

To celebrate the new year with you I´m showing you the polish that made me want the entire Models Own Beetlejuice collection, haha. This is so awesome! It´s duochrome and foil like Orly Space Cadet, but with other colors. I wouldn´t say this is better than Space Cadet, but definitely (almost) as beautiful.

The name on the other hand.... Come on! You think of a cool name for the entire collection, but why these very simple names for the polishes Models Own? Oh well, it is purple and it is blue. But it´s also teal and magenta. And actually red when I see them next to my laptop screen. That would be a long name: Models Own Purple Blue Teal Magenta Red, lol.

Anyway, it was not at all sheer as I expected it to be. It went on smooth and was good to go in 2 coats.

I think this is my favorite from the Beetlejuice collection, although I haven´t tried all of them yet. But it´s just pretty!

Thanks for stopping by!

My giveaway is still open.

Orly Cashmere Cardigan + Color Club Jingle Jangle

Hi ladies!

I did this mani a while ago and I totally forgot about it. Why? I mean, it really is an awesome combo!

The base is Orly Cashmere Cardigan. One of the few cremes that I actually love. I used 1 coat and that was enough, except in sunlight... So if I´ll ever use this combo again I should definitely use 2 coats.
On top I used 1 coat of Color Club Jingle Jangle, which is a lilac, blue, teal and silver glitter. Very nice!

You see, there are some bold spots in direct sunlight unfortunately. Well, I do still love the combo. What do you think?

Enjoy your day!

Ozotic 532 the duo/holo in green/teal/blue/purple

Hello ladies!

Today another one of these awesome Ozotic holo/duochromes. I think this might be the prettiest, but I haven´t used 534 yet, so I don´t think I can decide just yet.

Trust me, if you love duochromes and holos, you definitely need one of these polishes.

The one I´m showing you today is the teal, green, blue, purple version. Gorgeous! The main color seems to be teal and it flashes all the other colors when you change the position of your hands.

Well, you´re here for the pictures, right? So here we go.

All of these are taken indoors in lamp light (that´s why they seem a little dark). I tried to capture multiple colors in one picture, but that wasn´t easy. The first one shows best I guess.

I used 1 coat of Zoya Raven and 2 coats of Ozotic 532. Maybe I can try this one on its own too someday, but duochromes are usually a bit sheer and I didn´t want to waste this gorgeous (and expensive) polish. Application was fine.

What´s your opinion about these holo-duochromes? Any favorites?

Thanks for watching!

Savina Black Pearl

Goodmorning!!

Today I've got a Savina polish for you. It's my first and only one. Probably because you hardly ever see swatches of this brand.

Black Pearl is a nice duochrome that flashes teal, blue and purple mostly. It is hard to capture the duochrome though. Application was actually quite good! And the wear was fine too. I was lazy when I applied this and didn't even use a topcoat and still it lasted for 2 days.
And it is pretty opaque too. 2 coats were enough.

I must admit that I was blown away by how it looked in the bottle and was a bit disappointed that it didn't translate on the nail. It still is awesome though!!

Have a great day!!

Sephora by OPI Teal We Meet Again

Hi!


Well, todays polish just doesn´t need a lot of talking. It´s teal like the name suggests and it is opaque in 2 coats.


First pic under a lamp and the second in sun light. The true color is somewhere in between these 2.

I think it is a bit boring for my taste, but I do like the color. This would be a great base to do some stamping or use a nice layering polish.

Thanks for stopping by!

GIVEAWAY

Icing Peacock

Hello ladies!

Today I´m showing you a polish that I recently got in a swap as an extra. This came from Cat aka Faerieberry. I had never even seen this polish in swatches but it shows how well she knows my taste. I love it, thanks Cat! I always have trouble finding a nice extra for a swap, it´s difficult to figure out someone else´s taste. But Cat did a great job once again.
It´s a teal leaning green with a pink flash/duochrome. It´s unlinke anything I´ve seen before, so truly unique. You don´t see many polishes from the brand Icing on blogs unfortunately, would love to see more, maybe they have more of these awesome shades.
The only polish that comes to mind when I look at this is Zoya Adina, although that´s purple with a green flash/duochrome.

Here is Icing Peacock, 3 coats.

I had a hard time capturing the pink flash, but you can see it very good in real life and also in the bottle. Yes, I really like this shade.

Can anyone tell me why the bottles of the Icing polishes are exactly the same as China Glaze bottles? I´ve read somewhere that they are not from the same company, but looking at the bottles I really doubt that.

So, do you like this shade? Isn´t this just one very unique shade?

Thanks for watching!
