Barielle Elle´s Spell

Hi ladies!

For today I have a polish which you might have not expected to see on my nails. It´s red, which is not really my color. But this one... yes, I love it! I have used it before for layering, but now I finally used it on its own.

Barielle Elle´s Spell is a red jelly with duochrome flakies. Wow, it´s gorgeous! I know there´s one of the Nfu Oh flakies that is pretty similar. I think number 58 or 59, sorry, don´t remember. The difference is that most of my Nfu Oh flakies don´t dry this fast. The formula on Elle´s Spell is great! I used 3 coats.


I´m really sorry for the still very dry cuticles. Working on it, but as explained before, my skin is difficult to get moisturized.


Do you guys like this one? I think it´s the best Barielle I´ve ever seen. And also the best red polish that exists. And I actually like it on my nails too, yay!

Nubar Knights Armor with Ozotic 530

Hi ladies!

Today I´ve got a duochrome glitter bomb for you. This is pretty awesome I can tell you. Most duochromes and duochrome glitters are layered over black. Since I still hadn´t used my Ozotic 530 I decided that I wanted to wear that and went through my black polishes to see which one I was going to use. That´s when I saw my Nubar Knights Armor and I thought why not?! I mean, it has a black base right. Ok, it has very much silver glitter in it, but I figured it might look cool.

Nubar always has great application and Knights Armor is no exception. I used 2 coats of the black jelly with silver glitter. Then I topped it of with 2 coats of Ozotic 530 from the Elytra collection. It´s the yellow, orange and pink duochrome glitter.

Let´s take a look at the pictures.


In real life you actually see a lot more yellow. You mostly see the orange and pink in the pictures. I´m sorry my first 3 pics are a bit dark, but they are taken in shade because you can see the glitter and duochrome better that way.

So what do you think? Was this layering a good idea or a bit too much? I love it!

Thanks for watching!

Funky Fingers Melted Popsicle

Hello!

Well, I was lazy... again! So I decided that the nude mani I did was perfect as a base and I just used one of my untrieds on top of it and done! I just love when it doesn´t take time, haha.

I used 1 coat of Funky Fingers Melted Popsicle, which is a bright purple with some blue and pink shimmer in it. Lovely color! On top of the nude polish 1 coat was enough, but I guess you do need 3 coats when you would wear it on its own.

Here are the pics.



Then I thought: ok, let´s give it something extra. I used a coat of NYX Aqua Glitter. And this is what that looked like.

I think I like NYX Aqua Glitter better on top of a darker shade. Then you can actually see it shift from blue to green.

What do you think of these manis? Quite nice right? I like it.

Catrice Petit Four As Dessert

Hi ladies!

In my attempt of finding a light taupe or khaki polish that matches my skintone perfectly, I ended up buying my very first nude. Can you believe it? Everytime I look at my hands it just looks kind of strange. Not ugly I guess, just strange.
Catrice has this nude line and I thought if I just bought the darkest in that collection it could be the one for me in terms of a perfect light taupe/khaki color. Well, I'm still not sure yet. I'm still thinking of Orly Country Club Khaki or Nubar Sandstone, but they might just not be what I'm looking for. When I see swatches they look so different on everyone. If it's just the cameras they use or it has to do with their skintone, I have no idea. And then again, is their skintone like mine, hmm, it looks lighter, no this one is definitely darker. Well, these are the kind of thoughts that go through my mind when I look for swatches of the Orly and Nubar. You see why I haven't ordered one of them yet? Well, that's why I decided to try the cheap Catrice first.

Application was actually better than I expected. Although it was a bit sheer, so I had to use 3 coats.

Excuse the horrible cuticles, brrr... Most of the time they look quite bad, but this is just... yikes! In terms of moisturizing nothing really works.

One pic in the sun and one in the shade so you can see how it looks on my skintone.
So ladies, what do you think? Is this perfect for my skintone? Would Country Club Khaki look good on me? Or do you have any other suggestions? Please let me know.

Have a nice day and thanks for stopping by!

Kleancolor Holo Chrome

Hello!

Well, I´ve collected quite a few Kleancolors in the last few months. But I have to say that I still love my first one the most. It was actually an extra in a one of my first swaps. For everyone that likes holo: go get Kleancolor Holo Chrome! It really is awesome. It has so much holo glitter in it, that even in low light you can see it sparkle. Its base color is a purple which leans very much to the lavender side. Pretty!!

To be totally opaque it needs 3 coats, that´s what I did too. But if you have short nails, you can definitely get away with just 2.

Here my favorite Kleancolor: Miss Holo Chrome :P


In my pics it shows up a bit more blue than it actually is, but ok, still pretty. So just imagine this a little more purple. Oh, and my camera just freaked out over the holo glitter, haha.

What´s your favorite Kleancolor? Is it this one too? Or maybe one of the Chunky Holo glitters? Or a metallic? Or maybe something completely different.

Have a great day!
