Butterfly

This is an duo-chrome polish that I bought in June of 2012. It's probably older than that because I bought it on sale. It has the number 170 on top.

As I was trying it out I decided that it looked best on top of a black polish and I already had Ebony Hates Chris on my nails...




This could have used another coat, this is just one. But you can still see the tendenciy of green in it as well as the prominent purple/pink.

Hope you enjoyed!

Gray's Anatomy

This is one of my first duo-chrome polishes. It's by Wet'n'Wild and is called Gray's Anatomy (237C) like the series and it shifts from gray to purple and green. I didn't do a very good job taking the photos, I only managed to get the purple look this time....




In the third photo you can se a hint of the green in the polish :)

Hope you enjoyed!

Haul (again)

Well, I keep on buying polish.... thats it!

This time I went to town and I found a nice bargain at Vero Moda. They had tree polishes for $8 (50 kr) and usually that's the price for two.... so I grabbed these:

The polishes are Dolce Blue, Rose Powder and Blazing Yellow. I seem to have a thing for yellow... probably because of spring! A few days ago I also found a really pretty polish at Tradera. It's really hard to show this color in a picture, but I guess a lot of you already have seen this one in real life.
This is Sinful Colors #305, St Lucia Blue Sky. It is a duochrome, and I think the base colors are blue and gold, I can also see a bit of pinkish purple. I'm saving this one for something special.....I just don't know what yet!

Hope you enjoyed!

OPI - Not Like the Movies

Yey, my first OPI-polish!! Since I got a coupon for 20% off on any product at Kicks I wanted to try out this high end (in Sweden) polish. I chose "Not like the movies" because of the duochrome and the nice color!

The formula was a bit more sheer than I imagined and I needed two coats for it to be opaque. If you are having trouble with VNL you probably need three coats. I liked the brush, it's kind of medium and fits my nails very well.The color ranges from a mossy green to a bronzy purple and has, I think, some gold shimmers in it. It sparkles nicely in the sun!


All of these photos are taken i daylight with the sun out! The first one is what is usually looks like. In the second photo you can see the variation of colors that this polish shows. In the last photo you see the nice green "base" that just as often wants to be a copper color. Well, I can not say which color it is... it's just fantastic and got me hooked for duochrome polishes!!

And a bonus.... a clip/slideshow to see the polish in action!

Hope you enjoyed!
