Sally Hansen HD Opulent cloud swatch and NOTD - mesmerizing


Hello, dear readers and followers:)

How are you doing?

Hope you're having a great weekend on this sunny and autumn day!

Today I've got for you the famous Sally Hansen Opulent cloud which I got in my swap with Elizabeth from Lacquered Lizard.

What to say about this colour that hasn't been already said:) I love it, love the brush and the application, what I don't love is that it is so too sheer. There are 4 coats in the pictures! But it dries pretty fast and the final result is still worth it.

The colour is an slight duochrome or perhaps triochrome:), it changes from grey, gold to lavender purple. mesmerizing!

What do you think of the colour? Do you own it perhaps? Or any other similar colours?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished weekend:*


ps. I've seen that we're just 1 follower away to a big giveaway, YAY!

 Thank you so much for following and reading me:*

Zoya Lana swatch and pic spam

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Another post from the vault, this time with another gorgeous polish I got in the swap with Maria from R3Daily. It's Zoya Lana from the Reverie collection.

I'm sure you've seen it somewhere on the blog sphere. It's reddish orange coloured polish with great duochrome shimmer that changes colour from gold to green. Hope the pictures show it well, this pretty was a bit difficult to photograph.

There are 3 coats in the pictures, except in the first 2, where there are only 2 coats. You can get away just with 2, but I added another one to achieve more depth. There's also 1 coat of INM OuttheDoor top coat over it.

Do you own any polishes from the Reverie collection? What do you think of them?

How do you like this colour?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

ps. I'm preparing a small giveaway (and then a large one when I hit 700 followers and to celebrate the first anniversary;)

Chameleon: Alessandro 261 swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

hope you're having a fantastic weekend!

The manicure I have for you today is a true chameleon, it switches colours from green, blue to purple, depending on the light and angle. I wasn't able to capture its beauty perfectly, but still here are the shots. The pretty's name is Alessandro 261 and it was apart of their Vamp collection, released in 2009. There are 2 coats in the pictures with 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat over it.


How do you like the colour? DO you own any Alessandro nail polishes? What are your experiences with them?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

Swap polish Jade 361, a duochrome?? warning: picture heavy;)

 Hey,

hope you had a great weekend and are now full of new energy for the coming work week:) I spent a great weekend with my BF in spa centre, amazing:P

Today I present you another polish from my swap with Tuli, it's Jade 361 (an amazing colour for which I think it's duochrome, and these pictures don't do it justice, it looks even more amazing IRL). If I try to describe the colour, I could say it's dusty shimmery pink and taupe, or mauve, don't know, this colour leaves me wondering on how to describe it, just as I've tried to capture it on camera. I wore this polish when we went skiing in Austria, please excuse me a bit white tips, as I wore it almost a week and there was not chipping or anything like that. There are 2 coats in the pictures, and application was great. At the end I've added 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat.

How would you describe the colour? Do you think it's duochrome or not? What do you think of it?

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished day:*

Swap with Tuli, lots and lots of polishes:)

Not so long ago, my fellow blogger and dear friend Tuli from Tuli's Nail Polishes&stuff  and I decided to do a polish exchange or just swap:) Check her post on the swap;) I have to say that was also my very first swap, have never done it before, so I was super excited about it.

We agreed to swap 5 polishes and some other goods. So imagine how I was surprized when I received a large or better to say huge package from her. She sent me 9, omg couldn't believe my eyes when I've opened the package, different polishes. Everything she sent me was packed in the cutest box on Earth, Betty Boop, see it under the post.

The second picture gives you all the stuff she sent me, from nail care accesories, eye shadow, and of course sweets and other goodies from her country. No sweets are left, I must admit, my BF and I ate everything, and it was delicious:P

On to the polishes; Tuli sent me as I said whole 9 polishes, wow! The polishes on the 3rd picture are from left to right  Andrea 15 (gorgeous lilac colour), Jade 356 (amazing dark purple with purple and pink shimmer, reminds me a bit of Essie Sexy divide), Jade 361 (I think it's duochrome dusty shimmery pink and taupe, mauve, don't know how to describe it, as it's so great!), Chic 268 (very dark almost black  creme purple, eggplant colour).

On the last pictures there are Careline 309 (very light pink with silver glitter), Careline 355 (burgundy red colour with copper shimmer), Careline 335 (bright timeless classic red), Jade 352 (berry cream), and Jade 315 (bright red with gold, pink shimmer).

Tuli has chosen just the right colours for me, as though I would have done it myself. Thank you so much, you're a true sweetheart and I'm looking forward to doing another swap:*

All of the colours look simply amazing! I'll post the swatches tomorrow, as my camera and I weren't on good terms today:)

I would also like to inform you, if you don't know yet, she is having a GREAT Valentine giveaway going on. Check her blog for more details:) Prizes are to die for<3
