Essie Olé caliente

Time for another bright polish, and that is from Essies spring collection Navigate her and called Olé caliente.

Olé caliente is a bright coral red creme. This may not be unique, but I like this color which feels a bit spicy and brightens up my nails. It doesn't always have to be glitter and pompoms. This is a great color for those hot summer days.

The formula was great and for full opacity I needed two coats.

This was also the first time I got to try Essies new thicker brush. This reminds me a lot of Isadoras wide brush, it aslo wide and flat. Well, I liked Essies thin brushes, I felt that I had control with them. These wide brushes will take some time to get used to, but I guess I will learn.

It is not like I need them...

I just couldn't help myself. I have at least 60 untried polish at home, so it is not that I need more. But I fell in love and couldn't ressit buying these three:

Kicks Riviera chic. A coral red creme from Kicks spring collection.

H&M Bella's choice. A bright, strong mint green creme.

Essie Dive bar. A bluegreen, oil-kind-of looking shimmer with some purple.

Depend 295

I do love a strong color on my nails. So today I am showing you one of Swedish make up brand Depends spring colors, a bright turqoise with the number 295.

This is a turqoise with a silver shimmer. The shimmer is mosly visible in the bottle though, once on the nail it looks more like a creme. It is a beautiful color, not unique though but I like how it pops on the nail.

The fomula is a bit thinck though and I need three coats because it is a bit streaky.

News from Essie

Essies springcollection Navigate her landed in my postbox the other day and I am more than delighted. Green, bright pink, orange, coral red and a light purple are all colors that got my heart pumping. Especially the coral red. And the purple. And the green. And hey the pink as well.
The only one that doesn't attract my is the peachy A crewed interest. But, who knows, maybe I will change my mind once it is on the nail. It has happened before.

With this collection Essie is also changing the brushes into something much wider. It will make my friends happy, they don't like the old thin brush, I have been able to handle it though. A verdict will come soon.

What do you think about the collection?

OPI I don't give a Rotterdam!

Spring is far from near here in Sweden, it is like - 6 celsius outside, in the last days we got more snow and everything looks like winter wonderland. But I keep trying on polishes from the spring collections, longing for spring. Today I have I don't give a Rotterdam! from OPIs spring collection Holland to show you.

I don't give a Rotterdam! (love the name by the way) is a dusty light blue packed with a silver micro shimmer. The shimmer is mostly silver but now and then I see a spark of gold and some other colors. It gives the polish a depth that I like.

I really like this polish, it is a blue I can wear most days. It is cool but subtle.

The formula was easy to work with but I needed three coats for opacity.

OPI Pirouette my whistle

The bride collection New York City ballet from OPI is a collection full of sheers but also a glitter that I got really interested in.

Pirouette my whistle is a silver glitter in a clear base. It contains of lots of silver micro glitter and hexagon shaped bigger glitter, also silver but these look a bit white, almost matte. I like the effect, it is glitter but still subtle. It works best a top coat though, when you want to do that little extra on your nails. Then one coat of this is perfect. I tried to get it opaque but gave up after four layers.

The formula was smooth and easy to work with. The glitter ended up a bit randomly on the nails but that is no problem I think, but it is necassary to turn the bottle a few times before you start painting so the glitter mixes.

One layer of Pirouette my whistle over Don't touch my tutu!

A pink sandwich

I have been playing around again with my polish and ended up with an sandwich on my nails. I wanted to try how the white jelly Don't touch my tutu! from OPIs upcoming bride collection works in a situation with two other polish.

So, I started with two coats of the pink creme Lady Like from Essie, then one layer of the pink glitter Candy cane from Color club. And on top of that I put one coat of Don't touch my tutu! which gave it all a soft, milky finish.

What do you think?

OPI Don't touch my tutu!

The first polish that I try on from OPIs upcoming bride collection New York City ballet is the white jelly Don't touch my tutu!

I like this polish the best when I use only one coat. Then it gives the nail a  fresh look. It is almost not visible on the nail but it is there. When I add another three coats I get a nice white color, but it is not opaque. But hey, it is a jelly, it is not supposed to be opaque.

The fomula is a bit streaky. The trick is to not have too little polish on the brush here.

Is this something you like?

One layer.

Four layers.
