Sephora polishes

Hi ladies!

Tomorrow I will finally be going on holiday. Yay!! First I´ll go to Miami Beach for a few days and after that 5 days on a cruise to the Bahamas. I´ve got some posts planned, so there will be new stuff to look at every other day. Unless something goes wrong with blogger, which I can´t fix since I´m not home.

So, back to business: nail polish. 2 weeks ago there was a 3 for 10 euro sale at Sephora. Not only on nail polish, but also on make up. Since I already have the eye shadows I like from Sephora and I don´t wear any other make up, I chose 3 polishes. What a surprise :P

From left to right: Midnight Crawl, Moody Woman, Deep In Her Eyes

I must admit that the regular price is quite high on these. 5,80 euro for just one small bottle. Brush and application are great though, so that makes up for the high price.

Very soon I will show you swatches of these polishes.

Thanks for watching!

OPI ds Glamour

Hello!

Yes, it´s time again for my favorite blue nail polish!! This is just stunning! I love it!

OPI ds Glamour is a very hard to find polish which I know lots of ladies would love to own. Prices on eBay are crazy. I was lucky enough to find this on eBay a year and a half for only $10 including shipping. The color is just such a beautiful blue and the holo is gorgeous. Unfortunately topcoat dulls the holo a bit, so I should get the DS topcoat soon. Maybe other recs for a good topcoat that doesn´t dull holos?

I used only 2 coats. And application was flawless. I didn´t need any clean up.

Maybe you should enlarge the pics to get an even better look at this awesome polish.

Soon I´ll show you a comparison with Glitter Gal Marine Blue, which is brighter.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bloom Bianca

Hello all!

Today I´m showing you Bloom Bianca. I think I´ve shown you this before. Very pretty color! It´s a blue kind of green with a gold shimmer in some lights. I´ve heard this is similar to NYX Jungle, but I think Jungle has more gold, so I might have to get that some day.

This is 2 coats. It went on smooth and easy. Drying time was average.

The gold flash of course was impossible to capture. But I guess you have to trust me on that one.

Bloom is an australian brand, so you might have to arrange a swap for it if you really want this.

Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Finger Paints Icy Iris + Golden Rose 02

Hello ladies!

Today I´ve got a combo that I´m pretty thrilled about. I´ve shown both of them before, but together they are even more awesome.

My base color is Finger Paints Icy Iris which is a very dark purple with crazy shimmer. It glows! I used 2 coats and application was easy. For the flakies I used Golden Rose 02, which is my favorite clear base flakie. Why? Well, because this has something that Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, Gosh Rainbow, Nubar 2010 don´t have, blue. So it has the gold/yellow/green/orange/red multichrome flakies AND blue flakies. Awesome!

So here are my pics.

I really love this. How about you? Aren't flakies the best way of spicing up a mani? Especially this one.

Enjoy your day!

Comparison time! Green shimmer/glitters

Hello!

Today I´m doing some comparisons with my green shimmer/glitter polishes that seem similar.

Recently I bought the SpaRitual Love Your Planet Duo and also some of the Tony Moly glitters, including the green one, GT04. Looking at them when they arrived I was thinking how they do seem similar to other greens I have. Oops, I did it again? Well, let´s find out.

The first comparison exists of SpaRitual Earth Matters, Zoya Ivanka, NYX Emerald Forest and Tony Moly GT04.
Let´s take a look at the pics first.

Index = SpaRitual Earth Matters 2 coats
Middle = NYX Emerald Forest 3 coats
Ring = Zoya Ivanka 3 coats
Pinkie = Tony Moly GT04 2 coats

Well, as you can see, my new polishes aren´t as close to the older ones as I thought. But the NYX and the Zoya are definitely very close. I would say they are dupes, but the NYX has a very little bit more gold (which of course my camera wouldn´t pick up)
The SpaRitual and Tony Moly have clear bases and only lots of glitter. Earth Matters has small green and gold glitter and needs at least 2 coats of topcoat to make it nice and smooth instead of dull, gritty and not sparkly at all. Tony Moly GT04 has small green and gold glitter and larger green glitter.

I love all 4 of these!

My next comparison is with the other half of the Love Your Planet duo, Greenhouse. I compared it to Zoya Apple. And honestly, their base colors are exactly the same. Different is that Greenhouse has gold shimmer where Apple has gold glitter.

Here they are, 3 coats each, index and ring is Greenhouse and middle and pinkie is Apple.

In this case I definitely prefer Apple. I just love sparkly colors, can´t help it.

So what are your favorites from the ones shown here?
