Isadora Cherise

Pink. I love a bright pink. Especially if I am wearing grey clothes. Or black. As I often do.
So how about this bright pink from Isadoras trend collection this fall?

Cherise is a varm bright, pink creme. I looks a lot like their Power pink, which is in their trendcollection for summer, but Power pink is colder.
I like this kind of pink, even though it is not an unusual color. You can find this kind of color within any brand.

The formula though was a bit thick and needed some work to get it even. Also because of cuticle drag I needed three coats for full opacity although it is well pigmented and two coats should be enough.

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 Metal Mauve

I am falling more and more in love with Isadoras polishes, especially this falls trendkollektion. Today I am showing you Metal mauve from the Swedish make up brand.

Metal mauve is a purple polish with a silver shimmer. This is beautiful. The color is cool, a bit saturated but a statement with the metallic look. Follow me?

But still, I don't like the brush. It is way too wide. I like it a bit thinner. The wide brush may work on my fingernails, but I could never paint my toenails with this. It is way to wide for that. (And yes, I paint my toenails although it is cold and I am not showing them.)

The formula was good, smooth, and I only needed two layers for full opacity.

Let me present the winner...

So, the giveaway is over and I have a winner. Thank you all for participating and reading my blog. I am very grateful for that.

And the winner, of a all Swedish giveaway, is: Chelsea@Thenailnetwork !!!!!!

Congratulations!
I will now e-mail the winner and she will have three days to respond, otherwise I will pick a new winner.

What the winner gets.

Essie Lady like

I got to show what I had on my nails when I met Essie Thursday. Lady like from Essies fall collection. Essie herself really liked it on my nails. What else would she say? But, hey I agree. This is the kind of soft pink that I like.

Lady like is a dusty rose pink creme. The fact that it is dusty makes it less sweet and that I like. I like this, and the first I wanted to try from the collection. It is sophisticated and well, lady like.

The formula was a bit tricky though. I had to work a little bit to get an even result because the formula was a bit thick. To get it opaque I used two and a half coats. Two full coats and then som fixing.

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.

Essie Bobbing for baubles

I am off to the theater soon with my man, but I have to show you what I am wearing on my nails. Bobbing for baubles from Essies winter collection Cocktail bling. And I am in love. This is the one in the collection that got my heart going the most.

This is a beautiful sapphire blue. A rich, creme color that is also a bit dusty. Very nice. Although it is satuarated it has an amzaing glow and shine. Love it!

And the formula, well, it is sooo good. The polish is so well pigmented so one coat is almost enough to get it opaque. But I put on two because that is how I do it.
It was also very smooth and really easy to apply.
