Red Nail

A classic red polish from H&M.

I finally learned to feel comfortable wearing red on my nails! I don't feel like everybody stares at my nails just because they are red.

The name is simply "Red Nail". It goes on OK in two coats, maybe you should put a third one on.

I still think I have to light skin for this, but that's just a matter of taste!

Hope you enjoyed!

Valentine Red

I'm not a fan of red polish, but when my hubbie got me a bunch of polishes of Tradera I had to try! This is H&M Red Nail and on the middle fingers is also a layer of Gallery Colors Red Sparkle (421).

Gallery Colours is a brand I've never heard of, it was completely new to me, and the bottle was broken when it came..... so, when this was painted I only had a few drops of polish.....I searched the net high and low and found the poor website. As of a coincidence my youngest stepdaughter wanted some candy for the weekend and we went to out local candy/"dollar"-store called Pickaboo, and.... their it was! A whole display with Gallery Colours polishes and makeup.... I just had to have the bottle of Red Sparkle!

The H&M polish was really good, it applied easy and with almost no mess! We'll see how long it takes before I take it off.....I have a hard time liking the bright red.....

Tradera-haul

Tradera is just like E-bay, except in Swedish.

My honey got me some polishes from Tradera and here they are....In the first picture is the first lot. These are the ones that where whole when they arrived.... One of them, for me unknown brand, came in pieces. In the second picture, a new bottle of the broken one, that I just happened to find at our local candy/"dollar"-store by coincident!

In the above picture is from left to right: Viva la diva - 88, Depend - 87, Pieces - Candy Dandy, Yves Rocher - 91 Noir Intense, H&M - Red Nail, Kubiss - 59. Below is Gallery Colours in 421 - Red Sparkle.

In the above picture the second lot that arrived in the mail yesterday just in time for Valentines Day!! They are from Yves Rochers line Luminelle, just 3 ml and really cute! These had a number and a name on the bottom so from left to right: 03 - Rose Reflets, 12- Or Scintillant, 07 - Ciel Blue, 05 - Mauve Captivant, 08 - Argent Étincelant, 01 - Fleur de Lune. All of these were fabulous and had really good application!

Hope all of had a great Valentines day!!
