Swedish make up brand Depend is a rather cheap brand. A bottle of 5 ml polish costs 25 kronor, which is about 3,50 US dollars. And yes, that is cheap for Sweden. But. The bottles are small, so the price per ml is high and the quality is uneven. You never know what you are getting really.
Anyway, todays polish is from Depends spring collection and it is a typical spring color, lilac purple creme. It is a lovely color but not unique.
The formula is a bit thick but still controlable. It is almost a one coater, but I put on two coats. The brush is also a bit uneven which makes the application harder.

Wet n wild Saved by the blue
Electrifying. That is the best word to descrive Saved by the blue from Wet n wild. The color is intense and magnetic. My eyes are drawn to my nails over and over again. I love this.
Saved by the blue is a metallic cobalt blue. It is a strong color that makes a statement on the nails. It is their and you can't avoid it. This is a color for the days you want to be noticed.
But, even though I loved the color and it was enough with two coats for opacity I dislike the brush. It was hard to work with because it more look like a broom with straws going in different directions. It made it hard to paint and get close to the cuticles.

Zoya Neeka
It is time for one of the polishes I bought thanks to a Zoya promo on Facebook. I clicked home six polishes and one of them was Neeka.
Neeka is a soft purple with a greyish tone. It is packed with fine silver, gold and green glitter. First I was a bit divided about this color, thought it was a bit booring. But now I like it, it is cool and sophisticated and that fine glitter makes it something more.
The formula was good to work with. Smooth and easy and two coats gives full opacity. But, I get tipwear very quickly on this polish and that I don't like.

OPI Kiss me on my tulips
I never get tired of bright pinks. I have a lot of them, but keep getting more of them. So I was happy to see there is a bright pink one in OPIs coming Holland collection, called Kiss me on my tulips (I love that name by the way).
Kiss me on my tulips is a blue toned pink creme. The color is bright, intense and really, really pink. But even though I do like this color it is not unique, I have seen the kind before. But still, I like it.
The formula though needs a bit of work. It easily gets streaky when I paint, so because of that I need three coats for an even result. The fomula is smooth though.

Make up store Britta
I am so in love right know. Not just in my man, but in my nail polish Britta as well. It is so fantastic!
Britta is a pink holographic nail polish from Make up store, a Swedish make up store chain with their own brand. I bought it some months ago, but didn't use it until now. Why did I wait so long? It is a beautiful polish that is very holographic. It sparkles, shine and glitters.
I used a special base coat for holographic polish before I used Britta. I know some say it is not necessary, but I have it so why not use it? Then I appplied two coats of Britta for full opacity. It is easy to work with and easy to get even. But I recommend to buff the nails forst for a smooth surface. Holos need that.

Collistar Blue lamé-mat
I have something really nice to show you today. This polish swoshed (can you say that?) me off my chair. Blu Lamé is a matt nail polish form italian brand Collistars winter collection that is just so beautiful.
Blu Lamé is denim blue polish packed with silver shimmer which dries to a matt finish. The color is soft, but still it makes a statement. It looks sophisticated but still cool. I just can't stop looking at my nails. It is fantastic.
And the formula, oh the formula. It is so easy to work with . I am in total control and it covers with just one coat.

OPI Gouda gouda two shoes
I can wear most colors on my nails to work, even glitter and bright neons. It works, although I most of the time don't know what my days will look like or what kind of people I will interview during the day.
But for all of you who can't go to work with sparkly nails or even a plain red, there is good to have a safe color.
For those occassions Gouda gouda two shoes from OPIs spring collection Holland could be a good choice. This is a rosy beige-brown polish with a gold shimmer, almost a brickred. The shimmer is not so visible, but gives the color a depth.
I think of caramel when I see this color. I think it is nice, but for me it is a little bit to safe. And I like something more bright on my nails. But I know lots of you will love this. And I can think outside my box. This is a great color to wear to work or to your grandma (oh, I migh sound a bit ironic there, but I thought of my grandma when I was this color at first, she would have loved this).
The formula was a bit thin, but still I got opacity with two coats.

Color club Secret agent
Purple is one of my absolute favourite colors when it comes to nail polish. And frost, or metallic as I think it is rather, is one of my favourite finish. So Secret agent from Color clubs collection Alter ego; Keep it undercover has caught me.
Secret agent is a very vibrant color. It is strong and it makes a my nails shine. The color is a bluetoned purple, so a blurple. It also looks a bit duochrome with a pink shimmer.
I adore this color, it is intense and I can't stop looking at my nails.
It needed three coats for opacity and it was easy to work with.
