Glam Polish Fall'n For You

Hi!

It's winter here in Sweden but I still have some fall polishes to show you. This one is Glam Polish Fall'n For You from 2015's Halloween Trio.

Fall'n For You is a silver holographic base with micrglitter. I can see orange, gold, copper, red and a few pink glitters. It's the perfect fall polish and it's so unique. I don't have anything else like it in my collection. The ilver compliments the orange and they go really well together. I love the combination, it's gorgeous.


The photos are taken in artificial lighting.

The formula is good. Three coats gave full coverage. I think you can use it as a glitter topper as well if you do one coat over another polish. The finish becomes sligtly textured, but that's to expect since there's so much glitter. Two coats of top coat make the finish shiny and smooth.

What you see in the pictures are three coats of Glam Polish Fall'n For You, one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food 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.

Glam Polish Crystal Couture

Hello!

Glam Polish released a trio called Think Pink a while ago. Pink isn't my favourite colour and probably the colour I have the least of in my stash. I still had to get two of the three polished from the Think Pink Trio and this one is called Crystal Couture. 

Crystal Couture has a silver holographic base with bright pink, purple, lavender and silver prismatic glitter as well as purple glass fleck and pink shimmer. The pink simmer gives it an almost duochroatic look. The pink shimmer is stronger in real life, but its very hard camera shy and doesn't really show in my pictures. 
This is my favourite from the trio. It's s sparkly and shiny. It's a true glitter bomb!

The pictures are taken in direct sunlight. 

The formula is good. Two coats give full coverage. Even though it's packed with glitter it's easy to even out. It can be used as a glitter topper if you do one very thin coat. The finish becomes a little textured so an extra coat of top coat was needed to make the finish completely smooth.

What you see in the pictures are two coats of Glam Polish Crystal Couture, one coat of Nail PAttern Boldness Glitter Food and one coat of Pretty Serious Crystal Coat. 

Glam Polish Oh.

 Hi guys!
I hope you're all having a lovely weekend. I've worked on an essay all day long and I finally finished it.
Today I'll show you Glam Polish Oh. from the special limited edition Oh. Em. Gee! Trio. 

Oh is really complex. It has sterling silver flakes, pink-ish purple metallic flakies, lilac prismatic micro glitter and prismatic glitter. It's super sparkly and amazing! This is my favourite from the trio. The other two (I will show them as well) are also gorgeous but this one is absolutely stunning. I love the lilac glitters and the purple flakies. They give the polish a purple, almost duchrome look. 

The pictures are taken in direct sunlight. It's sparklier in real life. The glitter made my camera freak out a little.

The formula is really good! Great, actually! Two coats give full coverage. Even though there's a lot of glitter the finish becomes completely smooth and shiny. The finish probably becomes so smooth because of the flakes. They sparkle like glitter but lay flat on the nail.

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

Colors by Llarowe Aliens & Outlaws

Hi guys! 

Today I have another post from the archive of unpublished posts. This is Colors by Llarowe Aliens & Outlaws. These pictures were taken back in October. 

Aliens & Outlaws is a light grey holo with black and prismatic glitter. It's stunning. I love the salt and pepper look it has. It's a very fun polish. The holo and the prismatic glitter adds ton of sparkle and shine to it and contrasts the matte black glitter so well. 

This works well as a glitter topper but it covers on its own as well. In the pictures below you will see it on its own but I can say that it looks great over a dark grey creme. 

The picture are taken in direct sunlight.

The formula is good. A little thick but easy enough to apply. I used three coats to get the coverage in the pictures. There's still some VNL so you'll probably need four coats if you can't handle VNL.

It dries fairly quickly and the finish becomes a little gritty. Top coat is needed to get a smooth, shiny finish. 

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

Colors by Llarowe Oh Holy Night

Hello darlings!

Today I'm finally going to show you what I wore on my nails during Christmas! Better late than never, right? My Christmas mani was Colors by Llarowe Oh Holy Night. 

Oh Holy Night is silver polish with a strong holographic effect and lots of gold shimmer that gives it a warm pale golden glow. 

It's absolutely stunning! Breathtaking! I've worn this as a full mani about five times. It's one of my favourites and I definitely need a back up of it. It's neautral, elegant and the crazy strong holo gives it an edgier look despite being such a mute colour. 

The formula is amazing. Colors by Llarowe uses uncut suspension base so sometimes the formula is on the thicker side but this one is perfect. It's neither thick or thin and it applies like butter. Two coats gave me full coverage. It dries quickly and the finish becomes shiny. The holographic effect isn't affected by TC. 

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

United in Pink: Chevron Mani

Hi sweeties!

Today is the first day of the theme week United in Pink. A theme week to raise awerenss of breast cancer and the Pink Ribbon campaign. The hostess of the theme week is Helena at Lacky Corner. I'm going to start off the week with nail art!

I finally decided to buy some nail vinyls and finally got them the other day. This is my first attempt at using them so the result isn't perfect but I'm really happy with it. They are so easy to use! Practice makes perfect and I'll will use my nail vinyls a lot.

I used OPI Alpine Snow as base for the mani. Then I used OPI My Signature is "DC" and Butter LONDON Cake-Hole for the chevron pattern with the help of my nail vinyls. I decided to do an accent nail on my ring finger to make the look a little more intriguing.

OPI Designer... De Better!

Som jag berättade igår är jag ruskigt sugen på höst, vinter och jullack. Idag dämpar jag denna längtan med ett jullack som funkar jämt. Fast det gör väl jullack i och för sig alltid. OPI Designer... De Better! alltså.
Designer... De Better! släpptes med OPI:s julkollektion för 2011, The Muppets. Det är en silverfoil med kopparskimmer som gör att den blir mer champagnefärgad och inte bara silvrig.
Jag gillar det riktigt mycket. Det är en unik foil i min samling. Dessutom ser den inte så hård ut när det är lite olika färger på skimmerpartiklarna.
Ofta har jag svårt för att silverfoils ser ut som aluminiumfolie, men det tycker inte jag att den här gör. Den känns mycket mer lättburen än andra silverfoils. 

 

Formulan är riktigt bra. Det är väldigt lättackat. Det täcker på två lager och torkar fort. Foils blir ju aldrig riktigt helt glansiga, men även utan topplack var ytan ganska glansig.
Det ni ser på bilderna är två lager OPI Designer... De Better! och ett lager Poshé. 

Translation: I told you yesterday that I really long for autumn, winter and Christmas polishes right now. I'm trying to satisfy that longing with a Christmas polish that works every time of the year (don't they all do that?). The polish is OPI Designer... De Better. 
Designer... De Better was released with OPI's Holiday collection for 2011, The Muppets. It's a silver foil infused with champagne shimmer particles. I really like it. It is a unique foil in my stash. I really like that it doesn't look as harsh as other silver foils often do. I find this very wearable. 
The formula is very good. It's so easy to apply. It covers in two coats and dries quickly. Foils are never compltely shiny but this is pretty shiny without top coat.
What you see in the pictures are two coats of OPI Designer... De Better! and one coat of Poshé. 

Holographic stripes

 

Idag är det Holofredag och jag är med och visar holografisk nail art. Jag valde att göra streck med hjälp av striping tape för att göra ett någorlunda grafiskt mönster. Jag har utgått från mönstret på ringfingret och sen bara gjort delar av det på de andra naglarna. Lacken jag har använt mig av Color Cub Harp It On och China Glaze Liquid Leather.

Jag är nöjd, riktigt nöjd till och med. Det tog lite tid och var lite pilligt men slutresultatet blev fint.

 

Translation: It's Holo Friday today and I have a holographic nail art for you. I did stripes and with the help of striping tape I made a somewhat graphic pattern. I did the whole pattern on my ring finger nail and on the other nails I just did parts of the pattern.

The polishes I've used are Color Club Harp It On and China Glaze Liquid Leather. It took some time to do but I'm very pleased with the end result.

Nail Lacquer Love Patronus

 

Tidigare idag visade ju jag flaskbilder på min egenfrankade kollektion The Wizarding World där alla lack är inspirerade av Harry Potter böckerna och filmerna. Jag tänkte därför passa på att visa er en glitter gradient med det första lacket ut att visas, Patronus.

Patronus är ett glitterlack med silver, vitt, och blått glitter i olika storlekar i en genomskinlig bas. Jag tycker det är jättefint och hoppas ju självklart att ni också ska tycka det, trots att mina bilder inte riktigt visar hur fint det faktiskt är. 

Så var ifrån kommer då inspirationen till lacket? 

Självklart är det från patronus formeln och Harrys patronus. En patronus är nog enklast beskriven som en positiv kraft eller energi som man frammanar med hjäp av patronus formel. För att kunna kasta formeln måste man tänka på ett extremt lyckligt minne och låta det uppfylla en helt. Ju lyckligare minne desto starkare patronus. Patronusen finns i två olika former, en som är mer som en sköld och en i form av ett djur. Den i form av ett djur är den starkaste. Harry Potters patronus är en kronhjort. Patronus formeln anses vara så avancerad att man inte lär ut den på Hogwarts.

Så till färgerna då? I böckerna så syns patronusen i form av ett blåvitt ljus, detsamma gäller i filmerna.

Eftersom glittret är i en genomskinlig bas valde jag att använda det till en gradient. Som bas valde jag OPI Can't Find My Czechbook. Sedan la jag två tunna lager av Patronus nederst på nageln i en reversed gradient. Det är väldigt mycket glitter i lacket så som ni ser är det nästan helt opat längst ner närmast nagelbanden.

Vad tycker ni? Själv tycker jag otroligt mycket om det här lacket. Det känns som jag verkligen lyckades förmedla känslan av en patronus.
