OPI In the spot-light pink

In the spot-light pink is the first polish I try from the Femme de cirque collection that I try. It looks very sweet in the bottle, a bright light pink.

But there is no sign of the pink on the nail. There it just makes the nails look naturally fresh. And that could be nice. But also a bit boring.

This is the kind of polish to wear on a job interview, it is safe. I could also choose this polish to wear on my toe nails. It would make them look fresh and I don't have to worry about  matching colors.

The formula though is really good. I sometimes find it really hard to get a good result when I paint with pastel pink. But this is very easy and I get a good result at once. On the photos I have two layers.

Elf Hot pink

Elf is a brand that I haven't tried before. In Sweden you can buy them over the internet, and they are very cheap for being Sweden.

Hot pink is a strong pink color that almost look like it has some coral or red tones in it. It is a creme polish, with a summer party feeling over it.

The formula is pretty good, and it covers well with just two layers. It has a bad brush though with different lengths in it. I think I will take out my scissors and give this brush a hair cut.

Femme de cirque in my hands

I just got the Femme de cirque collection in my hands from OPI. This is what they call a bride collection, easy to wear colors.

They may be a bit pale to me, I like a bit of bounce on my nails. But I will try them, and see. You will see them on my nails soon.

Snowcrystal Denim blue

Denim blue from Snowcrystals spirng collection is a jeans blue metallic polish that almost looks a bit duochrome in the bottle because it has a pink microglitter.

I really like this color, it has a softnes over it but still look cool. You don't see much of the pink micro glitter on the nail though.

The formula is a bit thin, if you take too much polish on the brush it can become messy. To get it opaque I need three layers.

Snowcrystal and Elf

The other day I got a package with nail polish, sent from a PR-firm. Two of the polishes were from the Swedish nail polish brand Snowcrystal. It is from their spring collection and the polishes are:

Ice green. A very light shimmer polish, almost on the boarder to white. Looks very sweet.

Denim blue. A jeans blue shimmerpolish that looks duochrome i the bottle since I see some pink there as well.

Then I got two polishes from Elf, a brand I haven't tried before:

Hot pink. A creme pink polish.

X. This I don't know the name of, but it is a purple lavender.


To be seen on my nails soon...

Art Deco 275 Sparkling lilac

Art Deco is a polish brand I haven't tried before. And I must say that it is a nice to get to know this purple glitter polish, especially since I have soft spot for purple.

This polish has a sheer, purple base and then there is glitter in purple, silver and gold. Of course, the purple dominates on the nail, the silver and gold is just there to make the purple sparkle.

The formula though is thin, so I need three layers for opacity. It is easy to paint with and I love the glitter.
Very pretty. But it is not a wow. And I am on the search for a wow right now.

What to wear?

Sometimes I know exatcly which polish to wear. I can plan it days ahead, match it to clothes and be satisfied. And sometimes I just look down to the drawers of my helmer and just take the first bold color I see and don't care if it matches my clothes or not. I just let the polish speaks for itself.


But sometimes, I don't know what nail polish to choose. Nothing feels right, and then I have quite a few polishes to choose between. I might start painting with one polish, but if that doesn't feel right I take it off.

I usually end up with wearing red then. Red nails are never wrong.

How do you choose which color to wear?

Just a tiny bit of my collection.

Right now in Sweden

Okey, this has nothing to do with nail polish, but I want to show you this anyway.

It is a wonderful day in Sweden. We have lots of snow, it is -15 C and the sun is shining. I just came in from a walk with my dog, soon we are going skiing on the lake.
