OPI Nein! Nein! Nein! Ok fine!

The first polish from the Germany collection to be tried on is Nein! Nein Nein Ok fine! This is a dark grey cream with hint of green. Mostly it looks just grey though, the green is just there a little bit, like a small whispering voice. Or something.

I think it is beautiful. It feels peaceful to look at. Like harmony on my nails even though it is dark. But it is almost autumn now here in Sweden. Things are getting darker.

The formula was good. It was smooth to work with but because of some cuticle drag I needed three coats.

Depend 249

Time for a strong color on my nails again. A vibrant green from Swedish make up brand Depends summer collection with the name 249.

This is a bright, strong green. I reallly like it, it is rich and glossy and makes a statement on the nails. Why haven't I tried it on earlier? Sometimes it is worth digging deep among the untrieds.

This is almost a onecoater, but I needed two coats for fixing a few things on the nails. The formula was smooth and easy to work with.

Depend 260

I don't like this with polishes having number as names. It is so hard to remember. A fun word name is much easier, and yes, makes me more likely to buy it. I am that easy.

Well, anyway Depends polish number 260 is a soft military green creme. Or an avocado-gone-a-bit-bad kind of a color. It is nice, but not wow. I have seen it before. This is the kind of polish to wear to work and match with the right clothes.

The formula though is a bit thick, but hey, it is a one coater! One coat is enough to get full opacity. Love that!

OPI Suzi takes the wheel

Hmm. I have a little problem deciding what kind of color Suzi takes the wheel from OPIs fall collection Touring America really is. Is it a light, light green (kind of an avocado gone bad) or a smudgy grey? It is different depending on the light, sometimes it is more green, sometimes it is more grey.

But I like it. It is a cool color. Sophisticated on its own, but fun to maybe layer and do a gradient with some glitter on.

It is darker on the nail than in the bottle, as you can see.

The formula though was a bit thin and runny. I had some trouble controlling it and it was a little streaky (not really visible on the photo, but I see it). Two coats was enough though to get full opacity.

Essie Power clutch

I got a whole bunch of untried Essie polishes at home so lets try another one. Well, I have a whole bunch of all kinds of untrieds but lets not think about that...too many polishes, too little time.

Anyway, on my nails is Power clutch from Essies fall collection. This is a creme polish that is both grey and green and sometimes both. I like this. Mostly it is grey, if I put it next to something green it definetely looks grey. But in some lights it looks like a soft greyish military green. Follow me?

The color is cool but still sophisticated. And the fomula was really good. Two coats and I got opacity. Essies brushes are quite thin, I am beginning to like that, although I can't use it like the way Essie herself says you should with just three strokes per per nail and layer. My nails are to wide for that, I need like four.

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.

H&M No Mambo jambo

For being Sweden H&Ms polishes are cheap. They costs 39 Swedish kronor compared to an OPI polish that costs 150 Swedish kronor (about 21 US dollars). And for those 39 kronor you get a pretty good polish.

I bought No Mambo jambo the other day, going through H&M quickly on my lunchbreak (you know, H&M once started their first store in the city I live in). I fell for the emerald green color, it was beautiful, even there being stressed and all.

And I am not disapointed after wearing it on my nails. It looks just as beautiful on the nail. My nails shine with this on.

The formula was quite good and I used three layers to get full opacity. But, as one of my lovely readers warned me, it did stain my nails when I took it off, although I used basecoat.
