OPI Excuse moi!

I repainted my nails pretty quick, removed the grey and brought in the glitter again. So now I am wearing the pink polish Excuse moi! from OPIs The Muppets collection.

This is a glitter polish that beomes opaque in just two layers. I love that. It makes it so much easier. But, then it is because the base is not clear, instead it is pink, a mild, soft pink. Then there is pink glitter in two different shades and silver, green, blue, yellow and orange glitter. I think it looks great on the nails, it sparkles although it is a rainy day here in Sweden and no sun in sight. Unfortunately it was hard to capture the the sparkle with my camera.

The formula was a bit think, but it gave me no trouble.

And can you see? My nails are getting longer again. Makes me happy.

Kicks Metro grey

Half way through testing the Muppets collection I needed to take a break from glitter and glamour and try something more subtle on. So I ended up with a grey creme on my nails. It is Metro grey from Kicks make up, a new Swedish make up brand launched by the beauty store Kicks.

Metro grey is an ordinary steel grey creme. Nothing more exciting. It is subtle and sophiticated though, and that could work. This is no problem wearing to work or some formal event. Can look good with grey jeans and a tee as well.

The fomula was a bit streaky and thin. I needed thre layers to get opacity and I had to work with it to get it smooth and good looking.

Delivery from the US

A friend of mine, Lotta, moved to the US this year. Last week she was home in Sweden för a week and knowing my love for polish she brought some for me. Am I smiling or what!

She came home with two Orly polishes and one from Ulta. Lovely. The two from Orly are the blue-green foil Sweet peacock and purple Fowl play from Orlys fall collection. The Ulta polish is the dark blue creme The Skinny. Looking forward to wear them.

OPI Meep-Meep-Meep

I have spent the weekend in our cabin in the woods, picking lingonberries and mushrooms, taking walks with my son and the dog and playing cards and eating sweets with my love in the evening. I love that kind of life. Simple. But, I did ad some glamour by wearing Meep-Meep-Meep from OPIs The Muppets collection.

This is a fuchsia pink shimmer polish with small glassflecks. The color is bright and beautiful, but still I feel: Haven't I seen this before? It sure looks a lot like The one that got away from OPI Katy Perry, even if The one that got away was a bit darker and blackened.
But, still, it is beautiful, but no wow. This polish is not a must for me.

The formula was a bit thick, so it needed some work, but instead I only needed two layers for opacity.

It was really hard to take a good photo of though, the second photo is taken with my mobile and that shows the actual color the best. And you get to see some lingonberries as well!

Gettin' Miss Piggy with it! over a red creme

I got some suggestions that Gettin' Miss Piggy with it! would look good over a red creme. So of course I had to try it. And I like the result. The glitter became so much richer when I layered it over Color so hot it Berns from OPI. A good combination!

I used one layer of Color so hot it Berns and two layers of Gettin ' Miss Piggy with it!

Do you like it?

OPI Animal-istic

The other day my friend Vicktoria told me that she was looking for a red but orangelooking polish. I think I found it for her, at least if she can live with some pink and gold as well. Because Animal-istic from OPI The Muppets collection looks like something she would like. And I like it too. My nails are glowing today with this on.

Animal-istic is a shimmer polish that really makes you nails stand out. The color may not be unique, but still it is very beautuful. It is almost a bit duochrome, the red sometimes shows a bit of pink, and sometimes the red becomes a bit more orange.

The formula was really good. It is almost so one coat would have been enough, but I took two to boost the color a bit. It was easy to paint with, easy to control.

OPI Rainbow connection

Okey, now we are talking serious glitter. The multicolored Rainbow connection from OPIs The Muppets collection really makes my nails sparkle. And I love it.

Rainbow connection is a glitter polish with a clear base. Then there are at least three sizes of glitters, round and hexagons. There are silver, orange, yellow, pink, green and blue. The main impression though is silver. This looks so cool! It is fun. It is wonderful. It is party. I could wear this any day, hey it is a normal workday today and my nails sparkle! I am not wearing any rings today though because my nails look like small jewels. It would be too much with rings on as well.

The fomula was a bit tricky. I have to work with the glitter to get in the right place. I needed three and a half layers for full opacity. First three layers, and then I did some touch up on some places.

This is absolutely one of my favourites from the collection, if I can say so after trying on three of them. More is coming up though!

Fall collection from Depend

The Swedish make up brand Depend comes with a new collection for every season, twelve colors in small bottles. The fall collection contains of mainly blue, green,  taupe and purple colors. Nice, saturated fall colors. Mostly creme, but also shimmers.

I like the turqiouse number 255 and the purple 254, at the first quick look.

To be seen on my nails soon.
