Isadora Miami Ink

I had a hard time deciding which polish to try on first from Isadoras coming spring- and summer collection. I think all look good, but I ended up painting my nails with the babyblue Miami Ink.

And it was a good choice. It is a bright, light blue creme polish with a neon feeling. It really makes my nails pop. It is so cool.

And the formula was really good. Easy to control and two layers were enough to get full opacity. I do think though that the brush is too wide. But I have written that before...

Snowcrystal Sparkling Aquamarine

I got quite fond of Denim blue from Snowcrystals springcollection so I wanted to try another one from the collection and bought the turqouise shimmer polish Sparkling Aquamarine. It was love at first sight when I saw the bottle in the shop.

But when I started painting with it I got disapointed at once. Not by the color, that is beautiful. Perfect for the summer, a day at the beach kind of color.

But the formula is terrible. It is thick, hard to work with and the result becomes bumby and very bubbly. I think it is visible in the photos. The surface is not smooth at all and if I hold my hand up against the light I can see lots of holes in the polish which are all the bubbles.
To get an even result I needed three layers.

No. This wasn't good at all. Hope the rest of the collection is better, I have one more to try.

Summercolors from Isadora

Yesterday this landed in my mailbox. Six polishes from the Swedish make up brand Isadoras upcoming spring and summer collection inspired by Miami. Total the collection got twelve different colors.

These are the ones that I got:

Miami blue. A bright, baby blue creme.
Ocean drive. Bright mint green creme.
Pink lemonade. Bright pink creme.
Glamour white. A white frost.
Beach khaki. A frosty mix between white and beige.
City khaki. A beige frost with some white in it.

I am especially looking forward to trying on the white actually. And the pink. I am on the search for the perfect pink right now.

Sephora by OPI Metro chic

This is actually not a typical Catharina color. I normally want something more bold. But today I felt for something more mild and put on Metro chic from Sephora by OPI.

Metro chic is a mud brown color with a hint of purple in it. On the photo you can see the purple a lot, but in real life it is not that visible.
I think it is nice for days when I want my nails to be a bit more anonymous but still be polished.

The formula was really good and easy to control on the nail and I only needed two layers for opacity.

Sephora by OPI Midnight mambo

I think I have a thing for the combination of blue and glitter at the moment, at least if you look at what Nailspotting sent me.

Midnight mambo from Sephora by OPI is a bright blue that sparkles very nice in the bottle.
Unfortunately it doesn't sparkle as much on the nail. I had hoped for more. It dries matte and bumby so a top coat is necessary. I used two layers of top coat but I should have used two more I think.

The formula is really good though and I only needed two layers to get full opacity.

Orly Royal velvet

This is just fantastic. I have the new polish Royal velvet from Orlys spring collection Precious on my nails and I just can't stop looking at them. This polish is just so fantastic.

But I must say that I was a bit surprised to see a color like this in a spring collection. It is not your ordinary bright and light color. Instead it is a dark purple duochrome with flashes of blue. It has a metallic, almost minx, feeling over it. Sometimes it looks purple and sometimes it looks dark blue. It so beautiful.

The formula though is a bit hard. It is thin and not very easy to control on the nail. Too bad. But the color is still worth the mess up cleaning.

OPI So many clowns...so little time

So many clowns...so little time is from OPIs collection Femme de Cirque also called the bride collection. But I must say I wouldn't like my nails to look pale like this on my wedding day. The day I get married my nails will be bright red!

Well, this polish So many clowns...so little time is a mild pink polish. I find this polish to bee boring. And the formula is not so good. The first layer was ok, but when I added a second one everything became streaky. I should have stopped at one layer.

Zoya Danni

The polish Danni is from Zoyas spring collection Intimate. I have a soft spot for purple and this polish caught my eye.

It is a bright purple with silver micro glitter. On the nails it ends up like a foil. The result is very sweet and nice, but I do think that my nails are too short for this polish right now. I want longer nails for this.

The formula is really good. I get full opacity in two layers and it is easy to control on the nail. I like that.
