Hong Kong Loot Part 1

Hello my fellow fiends!

Hope you all had a great weekend! I spent most of my Sunday swatching, picture making and watermarking LOL

Hong Kong is such a breathtaking city, I can't wait to go back! I just love the people, the food, the bars...But I guess I am sort of off-topic here, last time I checked, this is a nail polish blog and not a travel log *grin*

So here goes, my Hong Kong Loot:

I got:

Essie Aruba Blue, China Glaze Drinking my Blues away, Organic Farm N09, Creative Turqoise Tint and Flannels, Fake NfuOh 11 and 07

Here are the 2 Creative polishes, I can't tell if they are real or not, since I don't own (as of to date) any Creative polishes. They are the old design, with all the bad stuff in it, nevertheless they are absolute beautiful, I just adore the metallic magenta!

Two gorgeous polishes, unfortunately in fake NfuOh bottles. Actually, the bottles look like a love child of a NfuOh bottle and an OPI DS bottle with the silver handle, look at the next picture to see what I mean:

Organic Farm Glitter Polish, this one was my least favorite, since the light teal base color didn't show at all.

Last but not least, my two blue beauties, Essie Aruba Blue and China Glaze Drinking my Blues away. Simply breathtaking!

So let's start the in depth review, shall we?

I will go by my personal ranking, starting with the polish I liked least:



Organic Farm 09, Glitter Nail Polish

As mentioned, the light teal base unfortunately doesn't show at all. Bummer. The Glitter is quite nice, reminds me a lot of China Glazes Fairy Dust. Which actually then gave me the idea of using it as a topcoat. I used a couple of different colors to check for the effect:

I really liked this a lot. Not an outstanding glitter topcoat, but decent.

It definitely looks nice on the magenta base!

Personally, I like it best on the darker bases, the blue-violett base I put on my pinkie looks fabulous with the glitter on it!

Another big, BIG plus: This glitter was easy-breezy to remove, I had no problems at all!

So my fellow fiends, that's it for now, Part II of my Loot is up for review tomorrow, so stay tuned for more!
