H&M Manhunter

This is a polish that I bought during the summer. I needed a black. And Manhunter from H&M is black, as black as it gets. And I think black looks really good on really short nails, so I had this on a while ago when one of my nails broke and I shortened all my nails.

The formula was good. Easy to apply (although I don't like these kind of caps but I have learned to work it) and I needed two coats for full opacity.

Isadora Brick red

Another polish from Swedish make up brand Isadora. They have a great fall collection this year, there are a lot of stars among the polishes. Brick red is a true fall color. It looks a bit more red on the photo than it is in real life, but it is brick red, like a reddish brown. usually I am not a fan of brown colors but the red in this one makes me like it.

The formula was superb with this creme. It covers well with just one coat, but I use another coat. It is very seldom I just paint one coat. The polish is also very smooth and easy to work with.

OPI I eat mainely lobster

I eat mainely lobster is one of the more bright colors from OPIs fall collection Touring America. For me this is more of a summer color, I can see it looking good on my toes next summer. Now though, it is on my nails, and I do like it now too.

This is a shimmering coral toned polish. It has a subtle gold shimmer that gives the polish a depth. I like it. Not all coral tones works with my pale skin tone, but this does.

The formula though needed a bit of work. It is thin so I needed three coats, but that was also because I got a lot of cuticle drag, maybe you can see it in my photo. I don't like that, cuticle drag is a no-no.

OPI Gone gonzo!

Oops. I just discovered that I had one more polish to try from OPIs Muppets collection. How could I forget? So, lets try Gone Gonzo on.

Gone gonzo is a turqouise glitter in a clear base. It has small round turqoise glitters and bigger silver hexagon shaped glitters that ends up here and there on the nail.

This sure sparkles, but it is sheer. The most sheer from this collection I think. On the photo below I used four (!) coats and it is far from opaque. To build up this to opacity would take forever. This is definetely a polish that is best for layering.

Gone gonzo! layered over Depend 255. A great combination.

Delivery from the US

I am lucky. I have a friend who has moved to the US for three years, but she keeps coming back home to Sweden now and then. And then she is bringing polishes for me!

This time I got three bottles from two brands I haven't tried before. The colors Saved by the blue and How I met your Magenta from Wet n wild and Among the stars from Piggy polish. Lovely!

To be seen on my nails soon!

Essie Very structured

I got another polish from Essies fall collection to show you. It is still fall right? Here in Sweden it is still warm anyway, much warmer than usual.

Well, the polish is Very structured, a creme polish that is a kind of mix between chocolate brown and brick red. Follow me? This collection was inspired by bags and I can see where Essie got her inspiration, a brown leather bag.
This kind of color is not my cup of tea. I have no clothes to match them with and I am way too pale for them. But I know a lot of you love this kind of colors.

The formula was good though, like all the Essies I have tried this fall, smooth and went on easily. Two coats is enough for opacity.

Depend 255

I got a really nice color to show you, number 255 from the Swedish make up brand Depend. This is a turqoise kind of teal. Saturated but still bold and intense. It gives me a wow-feeling when I look at my nails.

In the bottle it has a silver shimmer, but it doesn't really show on the nail. Instead it dries with a matte-rubbery feeling. If you want it shiny, use a top coat (which I always do).

It is very well pigmented and is almost a onecoater, but I use two. I think though that Depends brushes are too soft, a little bit harder would be good.

Isadora Glitter graffiti nails

Well, I guess people must love this crackle-shatter trend because the make up brands keeps producing them. Swedish make up brand Isadora, who started the trend here in Sweden this time around (yes, I say this time around because I did test this trend about 17 years ago for the first time), is now coming with glitter crackle polishes. Isadora call their version of crackle polishes for Graffiti nails.

The glitter graffiti nails comes in four versions a gold, a silver, a pink and a blue. I like the pink the most, when I see them in their bottles.

And yes, I was kind of tired of the crackle trend, it never really caught me. But I am a glitter girl, I do love when my nails sparkle. So I will try these. Of course, who could resist?
