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!

Depend 6003

Lovely bronze color in two shades when you put the magnet to it. All of these have fabulous color just as they are without the magnet and are completely wearable as they are, but the magnet gives it another dimension.

This one get a golden shimmer...

This time I did two coats and let dry before I applied the third one and put the magnet on. It worked out a lot better than the first two I did....

Hope you enjoyed!

Bronzing Gold

I love how this one shines in the sun!

It's called Bronzing Gold (124) by Isadora and I found this one on ebay really cheap. I needed two coats for this one and it went on smoothly.

Hope you enjoyed!

Golden butterflies

Could not resist the Konad....

This time I decided I'll have some butterflies and everything went OK. The only sad thing is that there was no way of turning the butterflies..... but it looks ok anyway. The image is from Konad Imageplate m20 with Golden Breeze (86 Isadora) as a base and Konad special polish in black.

Shade

Sunlight

This time I actually got some sunlight in the morning before work, so I grabbed the opportunity!

Hope you enjoyed!

Golden Breeze

I had my brown/gold tunic on and decided to do something matching on my nails. I found Golden Breeze (86) from Isadora and it was perfekt!

Nice formula, no wide brush and a really nice copper color that has a hint of gold and green in it - can you see it? I love this color!

Hope you enjoyed!

Browns, Golds, Yellows and Nudes

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!

Flower Power

As we were having dinner with friend on the theme "Come dine with me" I had to somehow magically pull an outfit out of my existing wardrobe as I don't have enough money to go shopping for fun! It resulted in a brown and gold dress that I haven't worn for a loooong time and.... as a polish-junkie I had to have nails to match....

This is what I came up with:

I've used Depend 208 as a background. It's a really nice dark brown colour from the Fall/Winter collection 2010. On top I did Konad with imageplate m64 (the flower pattern) and Depend 224 from their latest Spring Collection and then I added brown/gold rhinestones in the middle of whatever flower I could.... I just put the pattern randomly and so was the rhinestones!

The necklaces in the first picture was also a part of my outfit! And... if you're interested, the food and the company was great!

Hope you enjoyed!

Depend 224

Finally I've gotten around to this one!

It´s a copper/brons-colour with a hint of gold I think and has a creme finish with the brushstrokes of a frost. It only needs one coat, but as usual I put 2 on just to cover my free edge.

I really dosn't have that much to say about this one, more than that I don't think it's the right colour for me!
