News from OPI - Skyfall collection

Yesterday something really interested landed in my mailbox. The Skyfall collection, the James Bond-inspired winter collection from OPI.

This is a collection filled with everything. Cremes, glitters, foils, shimmers. There is a lot of gold, of course, what else is James Bond if not gold?

My favourite though, from the look at the bottles must be the glitter The living daylights. Big hexagon glitters in silver, gold, turqoise and a kind of peach in a clear base. I think I can do something fun with that. I also like the intensely purple shimmer Tomorrow never dies.

Anything you want?

Die another day, Skyfall, The spy who loved me.

The living daylights, Live and let die, Goldeneye.

Casino Royale, You only live twice, Tomorrow never dies.

The world is not enough, On her majesty's secret service, Moonraker.

Isadora Night flight

You know how it can be sometimes. You want to paint you nails, but you can't decide which color. The other day, I tried on at least five polishes before I was satisfied. I was painting a nail or two, but just felt, no that is not right for today. It just didn't feel right, I can tell you my six year old, who is quite used to his mums nail polish addiction, was shaking his head by then. But the five first ones I tried were light colors. Beige, pink, nude. But they just felt meh. But when I put on a dark, blue one everything just fell in to place. I am all for dark right now.

So, Isadoras Night flight is what made me happy that day. This is a dark, midnight blue with a silver shimmer. The silver shimmer is mostly visible in the bottle and on the nails it shows mostly as a metallic effect. I like this. Okey, I have seen this kind of color before, but still, it is lovely. It is bold and cool, far from sweet.

The formula was really good, the polish is well pigmented and I needed two coats for opacity.



OPI Deutsch you want me baby?

The leafs on the trees are not orange yet where I live in Sweden, even though I do see some yellow ones on my morning walks with my dogs. But if I could decide one color that is autumn, that I would like the autumn to have, it would be Deutsch you want me baby? from OPIs Germany collection.

Deutsch you want me is a warm, redish orange shimmer polish. I love this kind of finish. It is easy to work with, and on the nails, especially this color, it is glowing. I just can't take my eyes of this one. I think this one also looks much better on short nails than no long. I think it would be too much on long nails.

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

News from China glaze

I am still enjoying the autumn and all the new collections. These were sent to me the other day from China glaze, it is three polishes from their collection On safari.

I herd that. A glitter with gold and orange. For being gold, I think it looks interesting.
Jungle queen. I like this smoky purple. But then I have been wanting to buy Paradoxal from Chanel for a long time and this looks like a dupe. Or something.
Purr-fect plum. A berry creme. Lets see how it is on the nails.

I herd that, Jungle queen, Purr-fect plum.

Went shopping

Keep me in for a few days and then let me loose in the beautyshops. A dangerous combination. I was sick last week and after resting for three days I had 15 minutes in the city and I bought three polishes. I couldn´t resist.
Look at the purple Tatjana from Make up store for example. So beautiful with its shimmer. And Silk road from Isadoras collection Orient express. I fell in love. Cloudy blue from Max factor may look like just a blue it it is a duochrome with a purple shimmer that I got interested in. Will be fun to try.

L'oréal Paris Avenue

It didn't take me long to try on Paris Avenue from L'oréals new fall collection. And I love it.

This is a dove blue creme. A dirty kind of blue with a grey tone. It is wonderful. The look feels fresh but still soft on the nails. This I will use many times, it goes with most clothes and this kind of blue is wearable to most occassions.

The formula was great to work with and I like that the wide brush is a bit pointed. It makes it easier to control where the polish ends up.

Fall collection from L'oréal

This fall L'oréal was inspired by Versailles in France for the nail polish collection and the result is a collection with only one dark color and the rest are kind of light.
My favourite is Paris Avenues, a dove blue creme that caught my attention at once. The rest though, don't do it for me. Not at once at least. What do you think?

Rose cashmere, Creamy angora, Paris avenues, Soft chinchilla, So chic fox, Bordeaux escape.

Essie Miss Fancy pants

I am all for grey on my nails. But a greige? Hmm. First to be tried from Essies fall collection is Miss Fancy pants which is a greige creme.

This is a quite ordinary color. I am the type who wants my nails to make a statement, but with this on they kind of disapear. At the same time I think it is a quite sophisticated color, a go-to-a-job-interview color.

The formula was great though. Two coats and I got full coverage. I am also starting to get along with Essies new brush, the wide one. At first I thought it was too wide, but I am starting to get used to it.
