OPI Shorts Story

Hey everyone! I'm still on holiday and I like Amsterdam, but lately the weather truly sucks. It already feels like autumn, and it rain a lot. I really went crazy on the nail polish shopping, and I'll show you everything when I get back.

For now I'm going to show you the polish which I specifically got to use under I Lily Love You from this summer's collection. All the swatches of that polish that I've seen were layered over a. darker colour, and not what I wanted, and then I saw this polish in the shop. Shorts Story, a bright but not too dark Barbie pink. It is such a happy colour! This is two coats, and I expect that the wear will be the nice 3+ days that I usually get from OPI

OPI Catherine The Grape

Hey everyone! How are you doing? I'm great today, I'm actually going on holiday today :) Two weeks in the Netherlands visiting friends! Just great, and surely a polish shopping spree...

So today I'm wearing this, OPI Catherine the Grape. I'm in love with this colour, this aubergine purple with blue, pink and red shimmer. It's absolutely stunning! Thank you Sophie for getting me this. The formula seemed too thin when I put just one coat, but it actually is fine. Here I'm wearing just two coats.

I'll see you all when I get back!

OPI From A To Zurich

I've been walking around this polish for some time, not sure whether to get it or not. I mean how many berry red polishes does one person need?! But I guess it is always possible to find a justification for purchasing more. On me this polish looks kind of dusty raspberry red, a kind of very nice alternative to super bright red. I like the texture and that it dries fast and looks good with two coats on.

I've been really, really bad...

Last week the shop where I get most of my polishes got the delivery of a lot of OPI polishes. It's been a long time coming, since the last collection we had was the Burlesque one. So now they brought the Katy Perry one, all the shatters, Texas, Pirates, the soft shades, the summer one, and some other miscellaneous polishes. Is it any wonder I went crazy and got 10 nail polishes?!
So here are the polishes I got:

Silver Shatter
Catherine The Grape
Shorts Story
Come To Poppy
I Lily Love You

Not Like The Movies
Spark De Triomphe
Golden Rainbow I already have one, but another can't hurt
Skull & Glossbones
Steady As She Rose

Now I can tick off some polishes from my wish list.

Revlon 320 Ocean Breeze

Afternoon everyone! I’ve been cooped up in the house for a couple of days now. It is cold and raining constantly. Plus some relatives I’ve never seen my life are visiting. There have been some trips down the family tree in the past few days, quite interesting actually.
This polish is an interesting shimmery blue polish that really does remind me of a deep blue ocean. It is one of the scented polishes from Revlon that I have, and I think this one has the nicest scent of them, though why you would need a smelly polish is beyond me. The polish itself has a rather thin consistency, so when I tried wearing it without the base coat, after four coats at certain angles I could see the nail line. I scrapped that plan and here I am wearing a ridgefiller and two coats. And it looks infinitely better. The wear is not as great because of course you don't wear a top coat with these polishes, so it started showing signs of tip wear after a day and a half.

China Glaze GR8

It seems that lately I am completely unable to pass by a holographic polish without getting my hands on it. Oh, well, at least it is summer and you can see all the awesome colour change and shine. This time I fell for the GR8 polish from China Glaze. I gather that it is not so easy to come by, apparently not so at my local shop where these cuties occasionally show up.
I somehow thought that the holo effect would be less visible in this golden tan polish, but no, it's great and visible. It only needed two coats and dried really fast. The only thing I find is that light holographic polishes reveal all the bumps of my nails, so a ridgefiller with these is a must for me. The wear is quite good for me as well, about three days.

Orly Here Comes Trouble

Hey everyone, happy Friday! It is so hot today that it feels like my face is melting. I guess +35 in the shade will do that to you. I've been really busy these couple of days with making jam :) We do this pretty much every year. There are blueberry bushes growing wildly on our property. We freeze them for winter to have blueberry muffins later. But also there are blackcurrant bushes that my grandfather planted years ago. They are my all time favourites. Yum!
So today I am wearing Orly's Here Comes Trouble which is a stunning green glitter of various shapes in a slightly tinted green base. I like it a lot, it's a really cheerful colour. I find it easy to apply, here I have two coats, but it could probably use another one. It wears well on me, around three days and I find that it is not as difficult to take off as other glitters are.
