New in: Essence - Hello Rosy!

This is a new polish from their Colour&go line. It has a sparkle sand effect.

The base colour is dusty rose with pink/red glitter. It reminds me of mixed strawberries. The application is easy and it needs at least two coats to be fully opaque. Its drying time is a bit longer then I'd like but it's not too long. The texture finish is very visible. I forgot to try it with a top coat on, so that's something I still need to do =) What do you think? Do you like it?

London and London's haul - Seventeen Rock Hard Couture polishes

I have been away for a while now, I was in London. Unfortunatelly for waaay too little time, so I didn't have a lot of time for shopping. But I managed to get three nail polishes.

Seventeen Rock hard couture Nail effects polishes. I searched online and it seems there were four polishes in this collection, I am missing one, and that one is called Charm bracelet. I love this polishes. The texture really show the formula is great, they dry fast AND the cap of the bottle is gritty, it's just so cute! <3

The polishes have textured finish and they have glitters in them.

First, I am going to show you Celestial pearl.
This is a white tecture polish with gold and silver shimmer. It is very pretty, it reminds me of snow, the way it glistens in the sunlight. The application is great, it is opaque in two coats and it dries very fast. I really love this polish <3

The second one is Bijox baby, light pink with gold glitter. Another beauty, opaque in two coats, it dries really fast and applies great! It looks similar to Catrice Call me a princess, I have to compare them side by side =)

And the last one is Cameo crush. What a beauty! Light blue with blue and silver glitters. Trully amazing. Opaque in two coats, dries super fast and formula is awesome! Unfortunatelly my camera just didn't want to work with this one=/ It isn't so bright blue IRL.

I really wish I took the fourth polish, because these are really great!

GOT polish challenge - DOTS

I've decided to join GOT challenge. And the theme for today is DOTS.

I've wanted to try this design since the last time I went to swimming pool. Why? Because pools have had this really great tiles around them, something similar to the picture bellow:

But the ones I was looking at have had spaces inbetween. I choose the colour orange for the dots.

The base is Essence Must-have, from their Multidimension line, which was(I believe) discontined in 2010 or 2011.

I did dots with three Essence polishes:
Doc from Snow white LE(2012)
Bad girl from Cute as hell LE(2010)

Caramel cheese cake from Home sweet home LE(2012)

What do you think? Thanks for looking ;)

New in: Catrice #46 Berry Potter & Plumbledore nail polish

The moment I saw promo photos of the new Catrice polishes, I knew this one will be mine. Why? Well, because of the name. I am a bigbigbig Harry Potter fan and I knew I had to have it!

Lucky for me, this one doesn't just have a great name, it also looks great! It's a dark purple with blue shimmer. It dries extremely fast and application is easy-peasy! But it needs three coats(or at least two thick ones) for a full coverage. The last picture is taken with flash, so you can see the purple base better!

New in: Catrice #55 Get the blues nail polish

I came across the new Catrice stand yesterday. This was one of the polishes that caught my eye. In the bottle it's beautiful dark grey/teal/purple multichrome and when I saw it I knew I had to have it.

Unfortunatelly it has a down side - the formula of this one is very sheer, you need at least three coats. It does apply very easy and it dries fast. If you are not careful, it can be a bit brush stroke-y.
The color is still amazing - duochrome that shifts between purple and green-blue. I love it! <3

Essence & Catrice discontinuing series: Gold fever polish

Another polish being discontinued from Colour & go line. This one is a mixture of gold and red glitters in clear base. At one coat it is a great polish for layering, but with three it is fully opaque. Application is easy, removal not so much - I suggest you use the foil metod.

I hope you don't mind, I still have one in the old bottle, but the polish is the same. Above picture is one coat of the polish. The ones from bellow are with three coats.

It is really a lovely polish, either for layering or to wear on its own. It does dry a bit longer, that what I am used too - for me drying time should be 5mins for a layer, LOL. But I would recommend it for sure!

Essence & Catrice discontinuing series: Me & my lover nail polish

Another textured polish from Essence. This one is red base with pink and gold glitters. I've read online that some girls have problems with its drying time, but mine dries fast. Application is easy.
I really love the look of this polish, the texture is really visible and it looks great!

I also tried it with top coat:

But I don't like it all that much, to be honest. I love it without top coat, with it it's just a regular red glitter polish. Lovely, but nothing special.

Catrice Crushed crystals nail polish Call me a princess and a comparison

Wow! This polish took my breath away! It is soooo beautiful! <3 A rose-gold texture. Amazing! It also dries fast and application is super easy. There is one small downside - you need at least two coats, I have three on the pictures.

And I did a comparison with Misslyn Pink lollipop from Velvet diamond collection. Both are three coaters, both are pink, both dry fast.. But Call me a princess has also gold shimmer that Misslyn doesn't have. And that's what makes Catrice polish so much better ;) I like both, but if I had to choose only one, that'd be Call me a princess.

Essence & Catrice discontinuing series: Chic reloaded polish

This is Essence Colour & go nail polish in Chic reloaded. This is a duochrome polish. The base is dark grey with shimmer that shifts from pink/purple to green. It needs 2-3 coats for full opacity, so I decided to also try it over black. You can see it over black on my little and middle finger on the picture - there's not much difference, so there is no need to layer it over black. On the other two fingers I have two coats of polish, all pictures are without top coat.
