Welcome back my dear fiends!
Finally wrapping up my little Hong Kong Shopping Spree, hehe!
So, let's skip the talk and get on to the final facts!
First Beauty I am presenting here is one of the fake Nfu.Oh's
Isn't this one a little gem? Sparkling pale lilac/pink with just a dust of holographic glitter, you have to loooooooove this polish!
The formula of this was quite runny, but okay. It didn't dry as quick as the Holo's from China Glaze, but overall okay. The color makes up for everything, I swear!
I was just playing a bit with it, adding a matte Topcoat, which looks nice as well, but this is sparkling a far better stunner, can't tell you how bummed out I am that next time I can expect some sunshine around here will be in march *grump*
Too bad my pics can't do this polish justice, you can just barely tell by looking at the bottle how this is sparkling!
Now on to the pale dusty blue/silver sister!
Isn't this pure lovelyness? Totally reminds me of China Glaze's OMG, but waaaaaaaay sparklier!
I just can't keep my eyes of this, I really like how dense the holo glitter is packed in this polish
I am not someone who goes hunting for fake polishes to save money, but these two I simply couldn't resist because of their beautiful color.
So my final polish for today: China Glaze "Drinking my Blues away"
I am a sucker for blues at the moment *grin* this one is a deep, dense blue with tiny purple and blue glitter sparks in it. Lovely!
I am really happy with this polish, perfect formula, wonderful color!
I know there are a bunch of beautiful blues out at the moment, just thinking China Glaze's "Dorothy Who?", OPI's "Absolutely Alice" and some more...but in my opinion, it is definitely worth picking up this baby. Love the purple glitter flecks!
So that's it, thanks for bearing with me!
Tomorrow I will do something vampy for you guys! LOL

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:
funny, huh?
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!
