Spam post!

Since I've been too lazy to blog but not too lazy to do my nails, I have a bunch of polishes to show. These are random ones that I've worn over the last month or so.

Below, you see my first a England polish - Saint George! This was a vampish so-so experience until the sun hit it, and I stopped to stare. It wasn't a spectacular holo by any means but the holo color shifts were so beautiful that I can understand the wow factor surrounding this brand. Right now, I'm waiting for Sleeping Palace from the latest a England collection:)


Zoya's Charla was a lemming for a while before I got it (Zoya's are hard to get in Sweden at a reasonable price) and it did not disappoint! This is three coats, I think.


This was a Kiko I had standing around in my cupboard for quite a while before I used it. I did like the soft cocoa shimmery look of it, but thought it might look too tame on the nail. To the contrary. This is chocolate shimmery loveliness incarnate, and may be one of my favourite polishes. Two easy coats with Kiko's perfect brush! Nr 373.


Zoya's Ibiza. A high quality dark blue shimmer. A joy to apply. Two coats.


Pretty Serious' Blue Gums on Boxing Day. I liked this kind of. It's a forest green with a turquoise/blue shimmer. Not enough though, since I have sold it:)


Jade's Energy. Three coats of holo tealy blue perfection. The holo is a lot stronger than what you can see here. It wasn't fantastic looking in a cloudy setting, but when the sun peeked thorugh - WOW!!


I didn't even know this existed before I saw in my Facebook swap group!! Rockin Rocket by Orly. I got my claim mixed up when I saw it, but thanks to the helpful person who called it first, we made a three-way-swap and I got my hands on this beauty (I gave up Elevation Polish' Uluru). Big love on this!!


George Blue-ney by Catrice. Another swap! Steely dark blue with a hint of teal. Beautiful!


 Jade's Vermelho Surreal. I had longed for this for a long time before I bought it and unfortunately it was a diappointment:( It was a lot more rusty-looking where I had expected a bright red. I got rid of it in a swap, but have since then asked myself if I did not make a mistake there... Time will tell.

Kiko 336 & Ninja Polish Mystic Glacier

This was my Midsummer mani. Two coats of the spectacularly blue Kiko 336, and then one coat of one of the most beautiful polishes ever created: Ninja Polish Mystic Glacier:) It was a bit too creamy purple for my taste. Nonetheless - I could not stop looking at it, as is always the case when I'm wearing one of the Enigmas!

Kiko - 428 River Green

My mother went to Italy and got me a bunch of Kikos. I had given her a list, but outside of the ones I had asked for she also picked this one out by herself - and - it turns out to be one of the most beautiful polishes I own. Easy two coats with Kiko's fantastic brush, gold and green glass flecks in a tealy green base. Pure perfection!

The book is a great read that you can digest piece-meal. However you dig into it, you will laugh til you risk peeing yourself. Try it!

This polish is my entry for Green Wednesday at Karin's:)

Kiko - 640 Poppy Red

This was my first experience with a textured polish. It was very easy to apply and each coat dried quickly. I thought this would be more intensely red, but it was lighter, almost orange in some lights. The glitter was crazy, crazy, over-the-top-glitter. In the end I tried it with top coat (Poshé) as I wasn't quite sold on the finish. This improved it for me, but I still think I will like the creme SugarMats better.

Kiko - 345 Jade Green (but it's really blue!)

Hello! This is blue! Isn't it? I will use it as my entry on Linda's Blue Monday and then we'll see what people have to say on the matter. The shade's name isn't on the bottle (except the number) so imagine my surprise when I looked it up and found it. I will call this Jade Blue. Blue.

Anyway - a sweet faded color. I used two coats and they were quite thick as was the formula. I have already thinned it out in preparation for the next time I use it. It has a flat brush, that is very OPI-like. Very, very good! Plus, it dries quickly and gives my hand that wonderful, pinkish fish-mongering-wife-look that we are all dying to get. I paraded my shit around. Fish-monger-ladies are cooel!

And fish-mongerers' wives don't read books.
