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!

Ninja Polish - Pacific Coral

I am an acknowledged Enigma freak and I have a soft spot for corals, so this shade was the first one to catch my eye when I saw the four, new Engimas being released. As usual though, I discover that coral really isn't a color that looks that good on me. This shade, in itself, is adorable and I love looking at it. I just don't think it suits me that well. Maybe later in summer, when I'm more tan? I'll try it in August and say what I think then!

The shimmer is more subtle here than in the other Enigmas, but it ranges fron golden to green and turquoise and even icey blue in some instances. All in all, this must be the prettiest coral out there!

This is my entry for Emma's pink Thursday:)

Ninja Polish - Shillelagh

It's not easy being green? I beg to differ! There's nothing shy about Shillelagh. In fact, it's one of few polishes I prefer in in-door-lighting. That's when the shimmery pinkish/reddish hues show themselves. In the sunlight, this green will seem glittery rather than shimmery, and that's too much green for me actually. Thus, this will be a winter polish for me, something to remind me of cheerier, merrier times. Below, I've applied three coats of Shillelagh and one of Poshé.

This is my entry for Green Wednesday at Karin's!

Ninja Polish - Mystic Glacier

Well. Am I ever in love. It's Ninja Polish again. This time, it's Mystic Glacier, the blue one I almost didn't buy because I'm not a big fan of blue. Of course, it's out of stock now and I am so pleased my instinct as a consumer kicked in and I just clicked on eevrythign in this collection when it came out. Here, I have layered it over OPI Ski Teal We Drop.  was in a hurry and was worried I had to deal with VNL if I tried it on its own. This is two easy coats on top of one OPI, and Poshé on top of that. Words cannot describe the shimmer, which reminds me of holo-polishes. It ranges from a blue grey with pink shimmer to a vivid turquoise green with golden shimmer. I'll just show you the pics!

I also think this will show an entirely new side if I layer it over vivid blue or red for instance. Then again, next time, I think I'll try it on its own:)

This is my entry for Nailoramas Blue Monday. It's blue sometimes:)

Ninja Polish - 100% Columbian

I love Ninja Polish' Enigma collection. Love, love, love. This one was the first one I tried when the package arrived in my mail box (just a week after I placed the order). Basically, I couldn't decide which one to try first and in the end, my husband got to make the choice. He's conservative polish-wise so this vampy one was the one he went for.

Application was so-so. You have to work fast or it leaves bald patches and the formula went kind of sticky och gluey after a while. This is three coats, but the third coat was just necessary to cover up some bald patches and the sides of my nails which curve quite a lot.

The green shimmer is very visible in real life, but I my camera wouldn't quite catch it. Gorgeous, sexy color!

Ninja Polish - Divinity

Ladies (and gentleman) - may I introduce to you - Divinity! This is the first time I got a second back-up bottle of a polish. I actually sold one of my children to get the money. I picked the little one and he's a screamer so it just about covered polish and shipping!

Anyway, this is a duochrome. It has a flat brush (they can be a smidge wonky) just about the size of OPIs and the bottle looks the same. I think I would have gotten away with two coats, but I was a bit riled after the first one which tended to drag and bunch a bit, so I did three just to make sure. When I finished, I just took my new love for a walk. We basked in the sun, we looked deeply into each other's eyes and *I blush* we almost made out in public.

The colors range from red, gold, forest green to purple and I don't know what else. It's just the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

The novel is 1500 pages, and I usually favor books that are succinct and to the point. This one is an exception. You do need to read it. All of the pages. It's about a couple of families in India and after you've read this novel you will know everything you can know about India without going there. Do you need to know about India, you wonder? Yes. You do.
