Colors by Llarowe Fairy Dust

Hello darlings!

Today I'll show you Colors by Llarowe Fairy Dust from the Winter 2015 Collection. 

Fairy dust is a pale grey leaning white jelly with prismatic glitter, holo and some warm, pale gold shimmer. It's absolutely gorgeous. It shimmers and sparkles just like snow. I like that it's a pale grey. I ove myself a good white, but they tend to look a little harsh on the nails and pale white-ish greys are often a lot softer to wear. The holo is subtle but adds depth and sparkle.

The photos are taken in artificial lighting.

The formula was great. It was slightly sheer, but that's to expect from an almst white jelly, so I needed three coats for full coverage.
The finish becomes a little textured but top coat makes the finish smooth and shiny.

What you see in the pictures are three coats of Colors by Llarowe Fairy Dust and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat. 

ILNP First Class

 Hello darlings!

Toyday I'll show you ILNP First Class from the fall collection.

First Class is a silvery dark grey holo with silver flakes. It's amazingly sparkly. It has a mirror effect that is super pretty and gives this polih an edge. IlNP has done this finish a few times before and it really is gorgeous. It makes the polish more sparkly than a glitter polish but with a smoother finish and the holo is still very visible.

The photos are taken in artificial lighting.

The formula is good. Two, thin coats give full coverage. The finish becomes slightly gritty, but a lot less than a glitter, so you only need one coat of top coat to make the finish smooth.

What you see in the pictures are two coats of ILNP First Class and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.

Saran Wrap Nail Art

Hi darlings!

I've wanted to do a subtle fall nail art for a long time but didn't really know how. I love to do leaves and I love orange but I wanted to do something even more simple. I decided to do an earthy, smoky saran wrap mani. I love saran wrap manis. The swirly, imperfection of them is just gorgeous.

Th polishes I've used are OPI Black Onyx, OPI You're so Vain-Illa and OPI Embrace the Gray.
I admitt that it's not super fall-y. It works all year long but something about the colours remind me of autumn. I really loved how it turned out. It looks like black smoke against the pale, rainy sky.

The photos are taken in indirect sunlight.

Femme Fatale The First Northern Witch

I LOVE polishes and collecions that are inspired by fairytales. I just love 'em. Whenever there's a collection inspired by a fairytale I can't help myself, I just want them all. Femme Fatale released a collection inspired by Narnia a while ago and they're all amazing. Today I'll show you one of them: The First Norther Witch.

The first Northern Witch has a light grey, almost taupe, crelly, glod glitter, pale old glitter and bronxe glitter, silvery shimmer and a little prismatic glitter. It's so intricate and captivating. It's neautral but so interesting. The mix of various gold glitter and the shimmer adds so much depth. It's simply beautiful.

The pictures are taken in indiret sunlight. 

The First Northern Witch is more calm compared to the previous polish, but not less intricate. It's a grey base, filled with various shades of golden glitter (I'm seeing gold, silvery gold and bronze gold) and shimmer, from very fine to a bit larger, and it has some holographic microglitter as well. Another beauty that covered in 2 thicker coats. - See more at: http://www.ooohshinies.com/2015/06/femme-fatale-cosmetics-white-witch.html#sthash.me81IrDt.dpuf

The formula is good. Three thin coats give full coverage. If you do thicker coats two should be enough. It dries fast but the finish becomes a little textured so top coat is a must if you want a smooth, glossy finish.

Glam Polish THWAAK!

 Hi darlings! I hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

Today I'll show you another polish from Glam Polish collection Knockout Part 2. This one is called THWAAK! I love that all the polishes in this collection, just as with the first part, are named after sound effects. In my mind I really hear THWAAK! when I read the name, haha. 

Thwaak! is a dark grey, almost black, holo. The holo effect is really strong and creates beautiful rainbows on the nails. This looks black in direct sunlight but in other lightings it looks like a charcoal grey, due to the large amount of holo. I wouldn't call this a true black, but it's close. 

It's so sparkly and pretty! I love to wear black holos during the summer. It's dark but the holo looks amazing when the sun hits your nails. 

The pictures are take in direct sunlight.

The formula is impeccable. Two thin coats gave full coverage. The polish dries quickly and the finish becomes quite shiny. Top coat will not dull the holo. 

What you see in the pictures are two coats of Glam Polish Thwaak! and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat. 

OPI Cement the Deal

Hello!

Today I'll show you OPI Cement the Deal from the Fifty Shades of Grey Collection. I promised myself that I wouldn't buy any Fifty Shades polishes because I don't support the books at all. We don't have to go into the reasons why, but I've read the first book and well... I don't have anything good to say about it. Not  about the writing, the story or the message. 

Cement the Deal is a cool toned grey crelly with a hint of blue. It's the perfect grey colour for me. That's why I bought it. I've been on the hunt for the perfect grey and now I finally found it. So I had to by it when I saw it. I guess something good came out of Fifty Shades. 

I, contrary to many others, don't think grey is a boring colour. I actually think it's very classy. I'll probably wear this a lot in the autumn or as undies for various glitter toppers. 

The pictures are taken in indirect sunlight.

The goal is great. Two coats gave full coverage. The finish becomes very shiny. 

What you see in the pictures are two coats of OPI Cement the Deal and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.

Colors by Llarowe Final Fantasy

Hello lovelies!

Today I have Colors by Llarowe Final Fantasy to show you. Yes, I mainly bought it because the name. that it's gorgeous is just  bonus.

Final Fantasy is a grey holographic polish with a red shimmer. It's truly stunning! My camera couldn't really capture the red glow of the shimmer but you can still see it, though not as strong in real life.
I thonk this is such a classy shade. Not your average holo. Yes, it's similar to Lilypad Lacquer Red Pearl but I think the shimmer in this one is a bit more orange tinted.
The holo is a little subtle but still very visible. It's gorgeous. 

The formula is amazing. Just like most CbL's. It covers in two coats and dries very quickly. The finish becomes shiny and smooth. Top coat won't affect the holo.

What you see in the pictures are two coats of Colors by Llarowe Final Fantasy and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat.
