Enter the Dragon - Gosh Golden Dragon

Hello my dear fiends!

Welcome back! Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!
For today, I picked my favorite polish out of my Gosh haul from Manchester. Gosh Golden Dragon is absolutely stunning, a beautiful emerald green with gold veining that changes to an ocean colored blue green in the sun. Heavenly! Indoors, when the green stands more out, the color totally reminds me of MAC's Golden Olive Pigment. The finish of the polish is an in betweener of a metallic and a foil polish, love it! It's an almost metallic finish minus the streakiness they usually have. It does not get any better than this! Application was two coats, the polish is a bit thick, but I like that.
So here we go!

Let the sunshine in...and on your nails! - P2 Color Victim Maniac

Hello my felloow fiends!

It's sunday and I was able to capture a few precious rays of sunlight. To celebrate this event I had to paint my nails in the sunniest yellow I could find. To be honest, I didn't know how yellow would look on my nails, but I wanted to give it a try. P2 recently came out with a few new colors, among them this stunning shade of yellow. It makes me think of sunlight, daffodils, easter and fluffy baby chicks :-)
The formula of this was fine, nothing outstanding and with the first coat a little streaky, but it did even out just fine with the second coat. Considering the price of P2, this is really good value you get. But enough talking, let's move on to the pics, shall we?

I know this polish is already a whole lot "hello-look-at-me!", but I thought why not spice it up with a little Konadicure? So I used a floral stamping pattern together with China Glaze Metallic Muse and topped everything with a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust, 'cause that's just the kind of glitter gal I am hehe :-)

Hope you liked my little rays of sunlight ;-)

Flower Power - Sephora by Opi Modern Flower Mini Collection

Hello my very dear fiends!

Again, it's been a while since my last post and I do apologize for that. To make up a bit for it, I got the beautiful Sephora by OPI's Modern Flower Collection for you today. It is the first Mini Set they released and in size and packaging, it is identical with the Mini Sets OPI usually does. Out of the 6 available colors from this collection, they skipped the two reds and featured the other 4 in Mini size. The feautured colors are Leaf him at the altar, Iris I was thinner, It's bouquet with me and Handpicked for me. I absolutely love Sephora by OPI's polish formula, the quality is splendid. But on to the colors!

Leaf him at the altar



My favorite color out of this collection, a gorgeous leaf green with so much shimmer to it, it almost dries down to a foil finish, this is definitely unique! I needed two coats for it to be opaque, could have used three.






Iris I was thinner



Worst nail polish name I have heard so far this year. Other than that, a pretty pale lilacy purple. I think it is like a pale version of OPI's a grape fit. Beautiful creme finish, the formula of this one was quite runny though. Weird, maybe it was just this bottle, who knows?






It's bouquet with me



Multicolored glitter in a clear base. Too bad the base is clear, that way you can't really apply this opaque. *sigh* so this will be something for layering










Handpicked for me



Judging from the bottle color, I thought this would be my favorite. Wrong! This one turns out to be so sheer, I needed three thick coats and then still could see through to my nail tips. What a bummer. It is a pale pink shimmer polish though, but just way to sheer for me.




















Hope you guys liked the review of the Modern Flowers Collection! have a great weekend and see you back here soon!

Starting a dark romance - Gosh Black Passion

Welcome back my dear fiends!

Sorry for my lack of posting, I do feel quite ashamed *blush*
March is quite a crazy month for me, 3 birthdays within my family, my best friend had her baby boy and on top of that work, work, work...
Besides, spring still decides to not show up, hence my choice of color today...BLACK!
But, don't make up your mind too fast, we are not talking about the "yes I have seen this a million times goth pitch black color", nope this is something else. This is the softest black hue I have ever seen, I would even go as far and call this beauty a "romantic" black. Gosh Black Passion is a beautiful black jelly, charcoal tinted, leaning towards a dark grey (without being grey!) and it's got beautiful silver veining. Usually veined polishes tend to be streaky, but not this baby! The polish applies quick and smooth without being to watery. 2 coats give you perfect coverage. I love this polish! So who says black is not a spring color? *winkwink* :-)

I would be insane to not use this polish as a base for a beautiful glitter. I chose China Glaze Cleopatra, a slightly gold/coppery base with gold glitter. Perfect combination, or what do you think?











So that's it for today, I hope this weekend will be more quiet and I get some more time to post lovely polish for you guys. Tomorrow I am leaving for Chicago, so hope to see you friday my dear fiends!

Going Green, yet again - Barry M Emerald Green

Welcome back my dear fiends!

Of course, I had to pick a green polish for today, just couldn't help it *grin*
I am again packing my suitcase and won't be back till Sunday. Maybe I should start playing the lottery and win big, that way I could stay home more lol
A little update regarding the Mood polishes: the moodies and I are just not meant to be. They won't work with my chronic icicle hands. Bummer, but can't help it.
But back to green...
Love the Barry M formula! And love this wonderful, deep, rich emerald green shade. Perfect!

Have a great weekend and see you sunday!

I am in the mood for color! - Claire's Mood Change Polishes

Hello my very dear fiends!

What a weekend! "Lucky" me got to spend a weekend in New York filled with gusty winds and rain from about every direction you can imagine. It was so bad, I didn't even want to leave my hotel room. Yikes! But my eternal need for new polishes made me face the horrible weather outside and go look for a mall :-)

Altogether I got 4 out of 5 available mood polishes in green, pink, blue and grey, unfortunately the purple shade was sold out. These polishes work with your body temperature, ranging from the lightest shade of the color to the darkest. They are fun, fun, fun! Sorry for the crappy pics, I just got back from the airport, still jetlagging, but I didn't want to wait any longer to show you these babies!




The formula of these reminded me a lot of some matte polishes I own. You need about 3 coats to get the color opaque, the first application always seems a bit streaky, but evens out with the next. Also, the drying time is superfast!

Pink polish fabulous/funky








green polish happy/earthy








grey polish innocent/daring








blue polish peaceful/confident









Hope you enjoyed the pics even though they are pretty crappy. I hope I can update this post with some better pics in the next couple of days. For now, I need to seriously catch up on my z's *snore*
