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.

Color club Candy cane

I felt for some bling on my nails again. Why not? I felt like I needed it this Wednesday in November. I also wanted to try out Candy cane from Color club that I got last week. This is my first Color club-polish ever.

So, Candy cane is from Color clubs holiday collection Beyond the mistletoe, it is a collection with only glitters. Perfect for me becasause I can never have too many glitters.
Candy cane is pink glitter with a clear base. The glitter itself is quite small and there are at least three tones of pink and also some holographic pink. I love this, it is very sparkly and girlie. The pink is quite soft.

The formula though was a bit thick and I had to work it to get it right over the nail. Because of that I had to use three layers to cover some spots with the last coat, if it would have been easier to work with I think two coats would have been enough.

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.

OPI Spark de Triomphe and White shatter

It took me some time, but last weekend I got around to try  the Serena Glam slam with the polishes Spark de Triomphe and White shatter on my nails. But I am not jumping up and down for them.

Lets start with Spark de Triomphe. This is a champagne colored glitter, silver and gold glitter in two different sizes in a clear base. I like the color, although I am not such a big gold fan. But it sparkles and shines a lot, and that I really love.
It takes a lot of coats though to get it opaque, I gave up at four. And as you can see on the photos there is still a very visible nail line. But since I was covering this with White shatter I didn't mind.

So then on to White shatter. I am not a big shatter fan, it just never caught me, although I have tried it several times. And White shatter doesn't make me like it more.

White shatter is supposed to crackle on the nails. But it doesn't. Well, on some nails, but not on some. It just looks messy, like a sloppy manicure. And the white, it reminds me of tipex. Like I painted my nails with tipex (I tried that once as a kid, didn't look good). So, White shatter is not for me.

Oh my holo!

I played with my nails a little bit yesterday. First I painted them with the silver holo Greta from Make up store. I love that polish. But then I wanted to ad a little more sparkle, make them really blingy. So on Greta I added three layers of  Disco ball  sparkle from OPI, it has a clear base and then small silver glitter and bigger hex holo glitter.

I love the result, it looks a bit icy.

So what am I doing with these party nails today? First work, then I am having dinner with my wonderful man and all the children, then we are hitting the sauna. Great for the cuticles! Haha.

OPI Divine swine

It is Thursday, why not pretend it is Saturday and party and take a look at some glitter? I have Divine swine from OPIs collection The Muppets to show you.

This is a bright purple glitter. The base is clear and then there is lots of small purple glitter and some bigger hexagon silver glitters. So it is like the green Fresh frog of Bel air that I showed you last week, but purple.
Wearing this I start wishing though that OPI could have done some more variation with the glitter in this collection, not build them the same way and only change color. Okey, I know there are some variation, but still...

Anyway, this is a beautiful purple, I like the brightnes, but it do need four layers to build up some kind of opacity. I also tried layering it, then I first used two layers of Plugged-in-plum from OPI and over that I used two layers of Divine Swine. So a total of four layers anyway, but the result looks better when you layer it I think.

The formula was good and I had no problem with it.
