White Dream

Also sheer? Yes, It is....

I seem to have a lot of these and I'm not quite sure what I'll do with them, we'll see!

This one also has a frosty look to it, but not as sheer as Icy Peony but you can still spot a VNL. It's called White Dream (302) from Isadora.






Hope you enjoyed!

Icy Peony

Another sheer polish that would work great for layering!

It has a frosty finish and nice shimmer. Here I put on 2 coats and as you can see I still have a VNL. I'm not sure it will go away with more coats so I decided to let it go like this!



A very nice polish for someone who don't want to show off but still look good and feel a bit girly!

Hope you enjoyed!

Depend 334

This is also a sheer one from the Fall of 2012.

I tried layering it just to see if it worked, but the base is not clear enough so it had to go on it's own. It is a creme colored base with a pink glitter in it. It took med three coats to cover most of the VNL and as I was polishing I didn't see the pink in the glitter.




Not one of my favorites, but it works..

Hope you enjoyed!

Chrome on!

Not yet tired of the magnetic trend!

Just love the easy way to make nail art... just put the magnet on top and it's done! This is Chrome On (850) that came in the Magnetic Nails collection in 2012. Here I've used the magnet that came with the polish and you can see the pattern on the second photo. One thin coat and let it dry, then one coat that is a bit thicker and hold the magnet for app. 30 second to allow the polish to set a bit. Try it!






 Just love how the magnetic polishes gets to be two-tones and this one shimmers like crazy!

Hope you enjoyed!

Latte Queen

Pulling out one more graffiti polish from the collection. This time Latte Queen, a light brown one, that I have a real problem finding a base color for. I was searching the web for some kind of decent advise, but nothing I found was good.... Well, I did try it...


 





The first two photos is on top of Brisk Yellow and for those I had to put two coats for the graffiti to show! The rest of the photos is with Frosty Chestnut as base color and that worked out a bit better, just one coat needed.

Hope you enjoyed!

Depend 306 and 328

A double for you today!

I started out with 306 from the Summer collection in 2012. It is a sheer yellow and in these photos I have three coats on and still VNL. Despite of that I really like it and it's not that visible in the sunlight....



Then I decided to put 328 on top. It came with the Fall collection in 2012 and is a light yellow base with what I can see some kind of light yellow glitter. I only put one coat of this and that's enough if you layer it. On it's own you probably need at least two, maybe three, coats to make it opaque.





The so called glitter in this polish is not as shiny as regular glitter, but it gave the nails another dimension!

Hope you enjoyed!

Frosty Chestnut

As soon as I put the first coat on I loved this one!

Love the burgundy color and the nice shimmer in this polish. It works with two coats and it looks perfect with my pale fingers! It's number 646 and it came in the Bohemian Rhapsody collection in 2009, before I started my obsession...







Almost brown but still red.... there is something special with this one!

Hope you enjoyed!

Brisk Yellow

A sunny yellow shade with shimmer in it.

Works like a charm on my pale skin even though it's probably a lot nicer on somebody sunburned. It is not quite opaque enough in two coatsbut I decided not to put a third one on. The number for this one is 93, but I have no idea in what collection.... can't seem to find any clues with Google as my help either.





 This is an older polish and you can tell because it is uneven and it was hard to paint with.

Hope you enjoyed!

Depend 323

From the Fall collection in 2012 comes this red-violet polish that shimmers and changes between red, violet and pink.

Here I've put on two coats and that's really enough. I covers well and looks great!




Not quite sure if I need to file this one under red or pink... :)

Hope you enjoyed!
