Glam Polish Firework

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful Glam Polish Firework!
Firework is a jade green holo (a cross between scattered and linear holo).

The formula is amazing - a little on the thick side, but I tend to like thicker formulas better so I really like it. The opacity is great too and it is completely opaque in two easy coats.

This is one of my first Glam Polishes, but definitely not my last!

piCture pOlish Saphira

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful piCture pOlish Saphira that I got at Nail the Mail to share with you! 

Saphira is a dark blue crelly with holographic glitter and scattered holo.

The formula is great - not to thick and not to thin and it is easy to apply. It was opaque in two thin coats so the opacity is great too.

Close-up!

I am loving blue shades right now - especially the darker ones and this one is no exception!

Nail the Mail Box

Hey guys!

Today I have the Nail the Mail box for December to share with you!

Nail the Mail is a Danish nail polish shop that ships to most of Europe. They made this nail polish subscription box that you can read all about here.

The December box contains Foxy Paws Step Into Christmas, OPI Shine for Me, Lacquester Taling, and the little something extra this month is a four-sided nail buffer.

First up is Lacquester Taling - a pretty teal with gold shimmer and blue and gold glitters.
The formula is great. It is easy to apply and the brush is amazingly easy to work with! The opacity is good too and it is opaque in two coats - unfortunately it looks sheer on the pictures even though it is completely opaque in real life.

Here it is matte inspired by the amazing swatches by Greedy Little Baby!

And close-up!
I did not think much of this polish in the bottle, but it is beautiful on the nails!

Next up is Foxy Paws Step Into Christmas, which is a pretty dark purple jelly with a holographic shimmer and iridescent shards.
The formula and opacity on this one is fantastic - two easy coats and top coat.

Matte!

Close-up!
I am loving this shade - just amazingly beautiful!

Last swatch is of OPI Shine for Me - silver and blue glitters in a clear base.
The formula is great and the glitter pay-off is good. It is almost opaque in three coats (as above), but I would recommend it as a glitter topper over another polish.

The little something extra is this four-sided nail buffer - a must-have in every nail polish addict's nail care collection!

Another amazing box!

Barry M Damson

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful Barry M Damson that I got at LuxBeauty to share with you!
Damson is a bright blue creme.

The formula is amazing - a little on the thick side, but I personally like it better that way. It applies like a dream to the nail and it is easy to control. The opacity is great and it is opaque in two coats.

This shade of blue is definitely my favorite color - so beautiful!

Nail the Mail Box

Hey guys!

Today I have the Nail the Mail box for November to share with you guys!

Nail the Mail is a Danish nail polish shop that ships to most of Europe. They made this nail polish subscription box that you can read all about here.

The November box contains piCture pOlish Scarlett, Appeal4 Midnight Green, a glitter polish from Sorbet Seams, and the little something extra is nail foil.

First up is piCture pOlish Scarlett - a beautiful dark pink with a bijou holo finish.
The formula is nothing less than amazing and it applies like a dream. The opacity is great as well and it is technically opaque in one coat, but the second coat really deepens the color.

Here is a macro-shot of Scarlett. You can really see the beautiful bijou finish in this picture.

Next up is Appeal4 Midnight Green, which is a dark teal jelly.
The formula is good on this one - it is easy to apply and not too thick nor too thin. The opacity is not that good, but I expected nothing less, as it is a jelly polish - their opacity is supposed to be this way. I used three thin coats for the picture above.
A few days ago I made a jelly sandwich with this lovely polish. Check it out here.

The last polish of the box is this awesome glitter polish from Sorbet Seams. The polish contains glitter in almost all shapes and sizes ranging from metallics to black - all in a clear base.
The glitter pay-off on this one is great with minimum digging needed - on the picture above I used one coat. Even though there is a lot of glitter in this polish, it is really easy to apply.

The little something extra this month are these pretty nail foils (look at that holo!).

I am ecstatic about this month's box and all the products are amazing! You've done it again Nina!

OPI Give Me Space

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of OPI Give Me Space from the new OPI Starlight Holiday 2015 collection!
Give Me Space is a dark blue scattered holo.

The formula was amazing and it applies to the nail like a dream. It is opaque in two thin coats and it dries really fast, which makes for a quick manicure.
The holo is not visible inside, but in the sun (or under the flash-light on your phone LOL) it is beautiful!

I am so glad brands like OPI is finally making scattered holos! More of that please!

Barry M Mustard

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of Barry M Mustard to share with you.
This polish has been a major lemming of mine since forever and when LuxBeauty.dk got Barry M, I knew I had to have it!

The formula was great - a little on the thick side, but I like it that way. The opacity was amazing for a yellow polish and it was opaque in two thin coats.
I added some studs and some glitter to spice this swatch up a bit.

This color is just perfect for fall and I am so glad I finally got my hands on it!

Indie Nail the Mail Box

Hey guys!

Today I have the Indie Nail the Mail Box for October to share with you!

Nail the Mail is a Danish nail polish shop that ships to most of Europe. They made these monthly nail polish subscription boxes - a Indie Box and a Mixed Box. Usually the indie box contains two polishes - one handmade indie nail polish made just for the box and one indie nail polish from one of the bigger indie makers, but this month there are three polishes. It also contains a little something extra for nail care or nail art.
You guys can read more about the boxes here.

The October box contains: Appeal4 Pinky Pine, Appeal4 Coconut Pine, Ms. Sparkle Princess Diaries, and the little something extra is Vølve Cuticle Creme.

First up is Pinky Pine, which is a pink creme with a purple shimmer.
The formula was amazing and easy to apply. The opacity was not that good though and it needed three thicker coats for full coverage. Fortunately the dry time was great, so the three coats was bearable.
This color is so pretty and I love the subtle shimmer!

Next up is Coconut Pine - matte, white hex glitters in various sizes in a clear base.
The polish was really easy to apply and the glitter pay-off was fantastic with no digging needed!
Above is one coat of Coconut Pine over Pinky Pine.
I love a good matte glitter and this polish is no exception.

Lastly is Ms. Sparkle Princess Diaries, which is a white crelly with pink shimmer, metallic shards, and a holographic finish.
The formula was a little on the thick and gloopy side, but it was okay to apply. The opacity was good and it was opaque in three thin coats.
This shade is really special, but I do not know if I like it. Maybe without the metallic shards?

The little something extra is Vølve Cuticle Creme. It smells delicious and I really look forward to trying it. Let me know in the comments if you want a full review on this!

Overall I am happy with this month's indie Nail the Mail box!

Color Club Poptastic Pastel Neon

Hey guys!

Today I have swatches and reviews of three of the Color Club Poptastic Pastel Neons to share with you!
I got these polishes at LuxBeauty, where you can get the entire Poptastic Neon Pastel collection from Color Club.

First up is Meet Me at the Rink, which is a beautiful neon pastel blue.
The formula was good and it was easy to apply. The opacity was okay - it was really streaky on the first coat but it was opaque in two to three coats.

Next is Diggin' the Dancing Queen - a red-toned neon pastel purple.
The formula of this one is the best of the three and it applied like a dream. The opacity was great as well and it was opaque in two layers.

Last but not least is 'Til the Records Stop, which is an awesome neon pastel green.
The formula was good and it was easy to apply. It was really streaky on the first two coats, but it was completely opaque in three coats.

My favorite of the bunch is Meet Me at the Rink - I have been looking for this shade of blue for forever!

piCture pOlish Allure

Hello ladies!

Today I have a swatch and review of piCture pOlish Allure to show you guys!
Allure is a magenta nail polish with a scattered holographic finish.

The formula was amazing and it was applied like a dream to the nails. The opacity was great as well being opaque in two thin coats. It dried to a satin finish so you will need a top coat if you wan a shiny finish.

This color is beyond beautiful! I love it!

Appeal4

Hi girls!

A few days ago I bought some amazing Appeal4 polishes, so today I have some swatches to share with you guys!

First up is Soft Wave, which is a mint green creme.
The formula was great and it was easy to apply. The opacity was (surprisingly) amazing and it was opaque in two thicker coats!
This color is so delicate and pretty!

Next up is Bay of Cadiz - a light lemon yellow creme.
The formula on this one was good - a little runny, but not so much it was floating my cuticles. It was opaque in three coats.
I love this yellow - I have nothing like it in my collection!

Lastly I have Nightingale's Heart, which is a neon red creme.
The formula was great. It was a little thin for my liking, but it was easy to apply and self-leveled amazingly. The opacity was good as well and it was opaque in two to three coats (I applied two coats on my pointer, but three on my middle finger and pinky).
This shade of red is my absolute favorite!

I know these colors are really bright and summer-y, but I am not quite ready for fall yet!

Stamping

Hello ladies!

Today I have some awesome nail art to share with you guys - a highlighter inspired skittlette!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of piCture pOlish Bright White on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the text on my middle and ring finger with my new stamper (below), Mundo de Uñas Black, and MoYou London CookBook Plate 06. Then I highlighted some of the words with the sheer OPI Primarily Yellow and OPI Pen & Pink. To finish off the skittlette I applied China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.

The stamper I used for this nail art is from Born Pretty Store (#21123 in the color silver).
This stamper is beautiful, really squishy, and easy to use! I already ordered some more stamper heads so I can make lots of stamping decals!

This manicure is the perfect back to school manicure!

Indie Nail the Mail Box

Hey guys!

Today it is time for the Indie Nail the Mail Box from september!
Nail the Mail is a new Danish nail polish shop that ships to most of Europe. They made these monthly nail polish subscription boxes - a Indie Box and a Mixed Box. The indie box will contain two polishes - one handmade indie nail polish made just for the box, one indie nail polish from one of the bigger indie makers and a little something extra for nail care or nail art.
You guys can read more about the boxes here.

The september box contains Appeal4 no. 143 Lucky Robin, Paws by Eddie Da Firenze, and a little something extra: a glass nail file.

First up is Paws by Eddie Da Firenze, which is a purple scattered holo with a fantastic sweet lemon candy scent!
The formula was amazing - not to thick and not to thin. The opacity was great as well and it was opaque in two thin coats. It dries (in no time) to a satin finish, so if you want a shiny finish you will need a top coat.
I am seriosly in love with this polish! It is perfect!

The second polish of the box is Appeal4 Lucky Robin - a brick red creme.
The formula was good and it was easy to apply. It was opaque in two layers, so the opacity was good as well!

The little something extra is this cute pink gradient glass file! You can never have to many files (I have one in each of my purses in case I break a nail on the go) and glass files are definitely the best!

This month box was amazing and I cannot wait for next month!

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the thermal nail polish Born Pretty #18931 in the color 101 to share with you guys!

The formula was great - not to thick and not to thin, and really easy to apply. The opacity was good and it was opaque in two thin coats.The thermal effect was amazing as well and it shifts easily between the two colors! On the picture it makes a gradient effect as it is warm near the cuticles but cold at the end of the nails.

Dance Legend Sunshine 195

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the UV changing nail polish Dance Legend Sunshine 195 - a polish that changes color in the sun!
Sunshine 195 is an off-white lilac with gold glitter inside and in the shade and a medium purple with a magenta undertone (still with gold glitter of course) in the sun.

The formula was okay - it was a little gooey and difficult to apply. The opacity was good and it was opaque in two some-what thick coats or three thinner ones.

Outside

This polish is crazy cool and the change in color is amazing!
