Claire´s mini glitter polishes

Hi ladies!

Recently I went to Amsterdam and found a Claire´s shop. Nice! I did find out that they didn´t have the gorgeous polishes that american ladies buy at their Claire´s, but they did have some nice stuff. I bought a mini set of glitter polishes, all without a name. Last week I swatched them for you.

These are all 3 coats.
First up the purple, red, blue and pink.


The red and pink were pretty opaque after 3 coats, but the blue and especially the purple could have used a 4th coat. The colors are pretty nice though!

Next up the gold and silver.


I think I even like these more than the colors.


All together I think this is a nice set of 6 mini polishes. But I just wish Claire´s would sell the same stuff as they do in the US.


Have a nice weekend!

Claire's Venomous

Hello!

When I received this polish and looked at the bottle I thougt: Oh no, not another dupe for Orly Space Cadet. But when I put it on a wheel I saw it was more sheer and more glitter, so I thought it would be better for layering.

For the base I used 1 coat of China Glaze Little Drummer Boy, but you can also use a dark green, dark purple or black.
I added 2 coats of Venomous and it is beautiful!


If you don't want to use this as a layering polish, you will need about 4 coats. Will try to make a comparison with Space Cadet soon.

Enjoy your day!

And for my dutch readers: Vergeten jullie niet te bieden als jullie kans willen maken op dat geweldige nagellak pakket!! http://miranniesnails.blogspot.com/2011/02/special-edition-dutch-readers-only.html

Teeez Cool

Hi there!

Yesterday I showed you the purple holo from Teeez, today it's the blue/green one. Difficult color to describe. It's not totally blue or green or teal. Maybe seagreen would be an ok discription.

This one also has an awesome holo and also with this color my camera freaked out. It's about time I get a decent camera. I'm just too lazy to find out which one would be good for me. There are so many cameras and I have no clue what to look for exactly.

Let's have a look at the pictures.


I just wish I could show how awesome the holo is. Pictures would probably be better in sunlight, so I will have to show you that some day.

Application of the Teeez polishes is really good. I didn't need any clean up, so the brush is great and the formula not too thin. And 2 coats made it opaque.

Thanks for stopping by!

Teeez Outta Control

Goodmorning!!

Last week I found two gorgeous holos at a drugstore here in the Netherlands. I actually bought them for someone else, but she didn't mind it if I would swatch them first. Well, I will have to buy these for myself as well, they are awesome. So awesome that my camera freaked out. No steady shots or really picking up the holo, but these pics are ok to show you how pretty they are.

Today I have the purple one for you. I own like 6 or 7 purple holo polishes, but this is definitely not a dupe for any of them. It's much lighter than Color Club Wild At Heart, but darker than OPI ds Original.

So, let's have a look.


And?? Do you like it?? I think it's really pretty!

Have a great day!

P2 Rich

Hi ladies!

Todays polish is P2 Rich. Beautiful color! I´d describe it as somewhere between purple and wine red (burgundy??). And it has some hidden glitter which you only see when (sun)light hits the nail.

The formula is pretty good and it covered completely in one thick coat. P2 is a german drugstore brand, so if you´d like to get some, you know you have to find a german lady or someone that lives very close to Germany

Here are the pics.


What do you say? Pretty, right?

Thanks for watching!
