OPI It's my year

I usully don't like polishes with gold in them, they just don't go with my skin tone. But I can't halp falling in love with It's my year from OPIs Miss Universe collection. It is so beautiful, one of the most beautiful polishes I have tried in a long time.

It's my year is a amethyst purple foil polish with lots of micro gold glitter. But in some lights the glitter looks like silver, maybe that is why I love it. It shimmers a lot and I adore how the color and glitter is changing with different lights.

The formula is very good and it is easy to paint with, but I do need three layers to get opacity.

This is definetely the most beautiful polish from the Miss Universe collection.

Almost the same

Okey, what did I think here? On my search for the perfect pink polish I bought these two polishes: China glaze Rich & famous and CND Taffy pink.

I ordered them over the internet, at the same time. So why didn't I see that they look almost the same? They are not dupes, but they are very similar.

Will be fun to try anyway.

Kiko 251

When my old classmate Petra saw that I was looking for the perfect pink she sent me her favourite pink polish, number 251 from the Italian brand Kiko. Definetely a brand I have never tried, you can't find it in Sweden what I have seen.

The polish is a bright pink polish with a shimmer in it. There is also hints of blue in it as it is in this kind of shade.
The formula is good and I needed three layers to get a good finish.

I like it. It is a classic summer color. It might be a runner up for the perfect pink. If I will ever find a perfect pink.

Thank you Petra!

Depend 246

The babyblue polish number 246 from Depend is a nice surprise. It is a creme polish with a good formula that is easy to paint with. Two layers is enough to get an even and opaque surface.
Depend is a low price brand in Sweden, so I am happily surprised.

The babyblue color is not so unique though. It has a hint of turqoise in it but mostly it is blue. It is nice, but not something I am jumping up and down for.

Essie Funny face

Oops, there is a lot of pink on the blog at the moment. But then I am on the search for the perfect pink.

Funny face from Essie is a lovely pink creme polish. It is a mild, saturated color that almost looks a bit dusty. A very nice color. And guess what? I bought a dress that totally match this color. Now I just need an occasion to wear it to.

The fomula is good, but not perfect. It is a bit hard to get even so I need to concentrate and use three layers. But then it looks perfect.

Mavala Blue Caracao

Blue Caracao from Mavalas summer collection Art is a strong color. It is a rich turqoise cremepolish that makes a statement on you nails. I really like wearing bright colors in the summer so this is perfect.

The formula was great, smooth and easy to paint with, and I only needed two layers to get full opacity. I do not like Mavalas small caps though, I can never find a good way to hold them.

Even though I did like the color as it is I wanted to play around a bit and put on some Black shatter from OPI. Isn't the combination smashing? 

OPI Crown me already

Okey. Now we are talking. This is bling. OPIs Crown me already from the Miss Universe collection really takes it to the top when it comes to glitter and it really makes my nails sparkle, especially in the sun. The glitter reflects the sun like a mirror.

Crown me already has a clear base with silver glitter in several diferent sizes. To get a opacity I need three layers, but it dries quickly so it is okey. Because of the glitter though it is a bit chunky so I don't get so near my cuticles as I would like. I also use three coats of Seche vite to get a smooth surface.

I live this blingy polish. BUT. It chipped after 20 hours and that I don't like, especially since it takes forever to remove glitter polish. So, I am gonna choose my occasions well when to wear it.

China glaze 108 degrees

The other day when my stepdaughter and I were painting our nails we choosed the some color for once. And while we were sitting there painting we kept saying wow. Because 108 degrees from the Island escapes collection is so beautiful.

Okey, this is not a unique color. There are lot bright pink glitter polishes out there. But still, it is great. It has a microglitter that gives it a metallic shine, I think it almost looks it best in the night. Then the metallic feeling becomes more obvious.
The pink color is bright and intensive, and you look at the bottle you can also see a hint of orange there.

It is easy to paint with but needs three layers to get opaque. It takes a long time to dry also, even though I used a fast dry top coat. And that is a minus. I normally find foil polishes to dry rather quick.
