Stash Pics 2013

I haven't shown my stash on here in a while. So when last week there was a bit of sun, I took the photos of my polishes sorted by brands. One thing I didn't do is count them.
Perhaps I should sort them by colour next time?

As soon as I started taking photos of the polishes, my cat instantly took notice, he even climbed in one of the drawers :)

All my polishes together

Dance Legend Green Mamba

Hey guys! I'm sorry I've been away for so long, but now I'm back and plan to blog more regularly :)
I've had an awesome summer catching up with my family.

Dance Legend Green Mamba #923 is an awesome polish. It is a black jelly base filled with green flakies, that in certain angles it shifts to blue.
The formula is quite lovely, it is opaque enough so that I only used 2 coats, but it is see-through enough for it to provide a beautiful result of flakies appearing out of the dark.

Chanel Taboo

It's so good to be home! It is warm and sunny, and I've been enjoying my summer at last. It is not wet and grey like it was in France. It is great!!!

This is my first Chanel polish that I got for myself. A sort of present for coming home.
This polish is gorgeous, a deep purple with purple, blue and pink shimmer in it. I also really like the formula, it is easy to apply, and if I'm careful I can probably get away with just one coat.
It looks breathtaking in the bottle, I just wish it translated more onto the nails.

China Glaze Jitterbug

Today marks my one week countdown till my departure home! Yes! I cannot wait. Today is also my cat's birthday AND my parents' wedding anniversary.

Somehow I have amassed a few polishes that look similar, these silvery grey foil metallic shades.Why, I have no idea. It is not a type\shade I am particularly fond of, but they inexplicably make their way into my possession. Jitterbug is quite nice, it requires only two coats, and I like how it changes how it looks depending on the light - in the shade it is very silver, while in the sun it is more metallic grey.

Hema #10

I really like all the small Hema polishes. They have funky colours and cute small bottles. Plus it is a reminder of my time spent in Amsterdam. Good times!
Hema #10 is a bright and vibrant metallic blue shimmer.I thought that the color was not that unique, but still got it. I like how it looks on my pale skin tome. I used three thin coats, no top coat.

 

OPI Mermaid's Tears

I have been on a minty green kick lately, getting different shades of the nail polishes as well as some accessories. I honestly don't know what it is about this type of colour, but I love it for summer. Mermaid's Tears is the darker sage shade in the pastel green family that I have, but it is really nice. I used two coats, plus top coat to make it shinier.
In other news, I'm going home in two weeks. You have no idea how excited I am. I also can't believe that I've spent 5 months in France.

Sparitual Deep

I've spent last weekend in Paris. How often can you say that?! We walked a lot around the city with a few friends, went to Montmartre and Sacre Coeur Basilica, but I think that I've enjoyed Musee d'Orsay the most.
Sparitual Deep is labeled as 'shimmer' which is a very fitting description. It is a murky grey-blue colour with a very faint pink shimmer in it. You only really see the shimmer in bright light or in the sun. The formula is okay, this was two coats.
