China glaze Skyscraper

This is the first polish to be tried by me from China glaze Metro collection. And I love it! Skryskraper is so beautiful.

Skyskraper has a denimblue, but with a purple undertone, jelly base with small glitters in silver and blue. Very good combination! With this on I can't stop looking at my nails. Blue is also a color that is growing more and more for me.

I needed three coats for full opacity, but the last coats were mostly to cover some bold spots. The formula was both good and needed a bit of work. But it is worth it.

It dries pretty smooth so one coat of top coat is enough. I used Good to go from Essie. But, this polish chipped bad less than 24 hours after I painted my nails. I know it happens easy with glitter polish, but still it is not acceptable I think.

China glaze Blue iguana

It's fall but I am wearing a polish from China glaze summer collection Island escapes, the blue Blue Iguana.

This is a beautiful blue foil polish that is dochrome. Love that! It sparkles a lot because it is filled with lots of small, small glassflekes and now and then it flashes in to purple. So cool! To bad I didn't get around to it until now, would have loved this on my toes during the summer.

The formula was a bit thin, but I settled with three layers although I still could see som visible nail line.

Some shopping on the way to work...

I hurt my back this morning working out (isn't training supposed to be good for you?), so feeling sorry for myself I bought two polishes on my way to work. Both I have wanted since I first saw them.

The ones I bought are these:

Britta from Make up store. A pink holo. I am really looking forward to wear this.

Notoriously beautiful from H&M. A purple-blue creme. Like it.

To bee seen on my nails soon... I hope, I have so many untried polishes right now, why did I buy two moore?


Isadora Moroccan blue

Fall has really arrived to Sweden, the air is chilly and some days it rains a lot,  and I have a perfect the perfect fall polish to show you. It is Moroccan blue from Swedish make up brand Isadoras trend fall collection.

This is dusty blue creme polish. The color is rich and saturated, really nice.  Maybe it is not so unique, but that doesn't matter. I like it.

The formula was really good, easy to paint with, I guess I am getting used to Isadoras very wide brushes as well (although I still think they are too wide). It is well pigmented so it was almost so one coat was enough, but no, it did need two.

Orly Sweet peacock

OMG! I am wearing such a beautiful polish. Can't stop looking at my nails. It is Sweet peacock from Orly's fall collection Birds of a feather that my friend Lotta brought home to me from the US.

This is a blue-turqouise foil polish that is darker on the edges of the nails, and brighter in the middle. It looks amazing. It looks a bit like Swimsuit...nailed it! from OPI, but this one is lighter.

The formula was a bit tricky. The first layer was messy and left bold spots on the nail. I have never experienced that with a foil polish before, they are usually so easy I think. But with a second layer I smooth things out and after that I don't have to paint anymore. Two layers is enough.
