OPI Did you ear about van Gogh?

Hmm. I guess you have learned by now. Nude is not my color. It is not a color that makes my heart jump and nudes usually dont't work with my skintone. But hey, I keep trying them on. And people say I am stubborn...

Well, so, here is Did you ear about van Gogh? from OPIs Holland collection. This is a nude cream.  A safe color that you can wear to anything I guess. But to me it is a bit boring. I want something more to happen.

The formula though was great. Very smooth and easy to work with. Two coats were enough for opacity.

OPI A roll in the hague

I never thought I would say this because orange on my nails has never been my thing. But I have just learned that I never should say never. The reason is A roll in the hague from OPIs spring collection Holland.

A roll in the hague is a bright but saturated orange. Tomato orange I would call it because it looks a bit red sometimes. The color that dries on the nails is much darker than the one you see in the bottle. But I don't mind that. The end result looks cool and makes my nails pop, especially now since I shortened my nails insired by my friend Kristina who always have short nails. And this kind of color looks its best on short nails I think.

The formula was great, smooth to work with and for opacity I used two coats.

Essie Bangle jangle

Another purple, I do have soft spot for them. Bangle jangle (by the way love the name, I have a soft spot for bangles too) from Essies winter collection, the last of that collection for me to try.

Bangle jangle is a light purple creme with a grey undertone. The color is lovely, it is, but on me it feels a bit pale. I do need that humph I get with a strong color.

The formula was excellent though, esecially for being this kind of light creme, they easily gets streaky but not this one. For opacity I needed two coats.

Depend 300

Swedish make up brand Depend is a rather cheap brand. A bottle of 5 ml polish costs 25 kronor, which is about 3,50 US dollars. And yes, that is cheap for Sweden. But. The bottles are small, so the price per ml is high and the quality is uneven. You never know what you are getting really.

Anyway, todays polish is from Depends spring collection and it is a typical spring color, lilac purple creme. It is a lovely color but not unique.

The formula is a bit thick but still controlable. It is almost a one coater, but I put on two coats. The brush is also a bit uneven which makes the application harder.

Wet n wild Saved by the blue

Electrifying. That is the best word to descrive Saved by the blue from Wet n wild. The color is intense and magnetic. My eyes are drawn to my nails over and over again. I love this.

Saved by the blue is a metallic cobalt blue. It is a strong color that makes a statement on the nails. It is their and you can't avoid it. This is a color for the days you want to be noticed.

But, even though I loved the color and it was enough with two coats for opacity I dislike the brush. It was hard to work with because it more look like a broom with straws going in different directions. It made it hard to paint and get close to the cuticles.

Bad brush.

Zoya Neeka

It is time for one of the polishes I bought thanks to a Zoya promo on Facebook. I clicked home six polishes and one of them was Neeka.

Neeka is a soft purple with a greyish tone. It is packed with fine silver, gold and green glitter. First I was a bit divided about this color, thought it was a bit booring. But now I like it, it is cool and sophisticated and that fine glitter makes it something more.

The formula was good to work with. Smooth and easy and two coats gives full opacity. But, I get tipwear very quickly on this polish and that I don't like.

OPI Kiss me on my tulips

I never get tired of bright pinks. I have a lot of them, but keep getting more of them. So I was happy to see there is a bright pink one in OPIs coming Holland collection, called Kiss me on my tulips (I love that name by the way).

Kiss me on my tulips is a blue toned pink creme. The color is bright, intense and really, really pink. But even though I do like this color it is not unique, I have seen the kind before. But still, I like it.

The formula though needs a bit of work. It easily gets streaky when I paint, so because of that I need three coats for an even result. The fomula is smooth though.

Make up store Britta

I am so in love right know. Not just in my man, but in my nail polish Britta as well. It is so fantastic!

Britta is a pink holographic nail polish from Make up store, a Swedish make up store chain with their own brand. I bought it some months ago, but didn't use it until now. Why did I wait so long? It is a beautiful polish that is very holographic. It sparkles, shine and glitters.

I used a special base coat for holographic polish before I used Britta. I know some say it is not necessary, but I have it so why not use it? Then I appplied two coats of Britta for full opacity. It is easy to work with and easy to get even. But I recommend to buff the nails forst for a smooth surface. Holos need that.
