OPI Color to diner for

I still have polishes from OPIs fall collection Touring America to show you. Lucky it is still fall...

Well, on my nails: Color to diner for. A soft red with subtle goldshimmer and there is also a brown tone whick makes it a bit rusty. Very autumnlike. If you want red, but don't want to be to much up your face, this is a color for you. I think this color is nice, but I am not jumping up and down for it.

The formula was smooth, maybe a bit thin, but still two coats was enough to get it opaque.

I reached 200 followers!

Tjohooo! as I would say in Swedish. I have reached 200 followers!!! I am so happy for that. And it means that I will make you happy and present my give away later today.

So make sure to check in again, and make sure you are a follower, otherwise you can't participate in the give away.

My first candy mani

I have been reading about it, so I wanted to try it. A candy mani where you layer different polishes with a glitter in the middle and a jelly on top. So I did.

I choosed two berry toned polishes and one pink glitter. First I took one layer of the creme polish Manicurist of Seville from OPI, then one layer of the glitter polish Teenage dream from OPI as well and then last a layer of the jelly polish Do you think I am tex-y? from OPI.

The jelly seals the deal but still you see the glitter, like floating in there.

I like this. I like that it is sparkly, but not too sparkly. How about you? Have you tried this?

Don't forget that I am having a giveaway when I reach 200 followers! So come on, become a follower now.

OPI Rising star

It is chilly in Sweden now, this morning there was frost on the grass for the first time. So it is really fall now. So how about a polish that looks like the leafs now? Rising star from OPIs Burlesque collection that came out last year.

This is a rich copper foil that shimmers a lot. This is not the color I normally fall for, but it is beautiful. No doubt about that.

The application was easy and I used three layers for full opacity.

I received an invitation...

This is fun. Very fun.

The other day I got an invitation from Essie. They are launching their new collection Coctail bling, with a coctail. And I am invited.

And guess who is gonna be there? Essie Weingarten, the founder of Essie.

In the invitation there was a box with a beautiful bracelet, the idea is that Essies coming collection will accentuate your accessories. It will be fun to see the polishes.

So next week I am meeting Essie for a coctail. How about that?

I really shouldn't...

Looking at nail polishes on the web can be dangerous. There is so much that I want. I just fell in love with this red polish, Ruby red hue, from Nailgirls christmas collection. Isn't it beautiful?  It looks like it has that metallic finish that I adore.

Orly Fowl play

I haven't had nailpolish on the whole weekend. Yes, it actually happens. This time because I was putting up wallpaper in our new bedroom (one of my other big interests in life is interior design, I was editor for my newspapers weekly edition about interior design for five years, nowdays I just use what I know about it at home) and I didn't want to get nail polish marks on the wallpaper. But yesterday things went back to normal and I added a bit of glamour to my life again in the form of Fowls play from Orly's fall collection Birds of a feather.

Fowl play is a dark purble jelly with blue and silver glitter and flakies that shifts from red to yellow and green. It reminds me of one of my favourite polishes, Merry midnight from OPI, but Fowls play has more colors.

I am a bit divided about this polish. At one moment I love it, at the other I actually think it is boring. It is beautiful though, and the flakies gives the dark purple a new dimension.

The formula was good, no problem to work with. I used three coats for full opacity.
A warning though, it doesn't work well together with Seche vite. It made the top coats schrink so it actually looks like I applied it sloppy.

Isadora Beetle green

Bright red yesterday, beetle green today. One thing I love about nail polish is that you can change it so easy and ad a little color to your life. Especially if you are like me and love black and grey on clothes.

Today I am wearing Beetle green from Swedish make up brand Isadoras trend collection. This is a forrest green polish with a metallic finish. The color is rich, a great fall color but works for Christmas as well.
In the bottle it looks like it is a tiny, tiny bit duochrome, there are some blue flashes, but it is not visible on the nail. Too bad. It would have been cool.

The formula was very good and it was opaque in two coats.
