An amazing swap and a breathtaking Nfu.Oh

Hey there :)

Some time ago I did another swap with Jackie from Candy Coated Tips and she got me these goodies:

 OPI Blue Moon Langoon, Sally Hansen Purple Pizzazz, Milani Dot com, Sinful Colors Let's Talk and Wet'n'Wild Blue Moon

 Orly La Playa, China Glaze Mummy May I and China Glaze Ghoulish Glow, their Glow in the Dark polish/topcoat

some sweets and a beautiful card :D
Thanks again Jackie for this wonderful swap, you rock!

My recent army of Nfu.Oh's left you all drooling, so here's the first one I used: number 52. I used Essence's Midnight Rocker as a base but the pictures turned out to be really bad, so I'll reswatch it. Midnight Rocker is one of Essence's new shades and is an almost black purple. It needed two coats to be opaque and I layered one coat of Nfu.Oh 52 over it. The Nfu.Oh flakies are stunning and I couldn't stop staring at my nails when I was wearing it.
I used different angles to show the different colors the flakies.

Recent nail mail

Hey there :)

Some time ago Martje from Girly Addictions and I agreed to swap. She kindly offered me Gosh Holographic and other polishes and who would refuse?
The package she sent me was huge and filled with goodies. Thank you so much Martje, I love everything I received and hope you like the polishes I sent you :)

Now, onto the pictures:

Sadly, the Etos Effect Nails don't have a name but all of them are hexagonal glitter in a colored base.

The Fix Base Coat is made for Holographic(holographic polishes) and according to Lacquerized   it does the same purpose as Nfu.Oh's Aqua base.
And she also sent along a lot of samples and sweets :D

I keep the mailmen/mailwomen busy (picture heavy)

Hey there :)


My exams are almost over and needless to say I don't have any motivation to learn. Oh well, there's always tomorrow, right? ;-)

I've received quite a few packages recently and here they are:

First, my winnings from Lacquer Ware for Tips and Toes:

Mhhh, Starburst.....

Next up, my swap with Jackie from Candy Coated Tips:

Nail Junkie? I LOVE that name, it fits really me and is probably one of the best names for a polish :D
A flash pic to show the holo:

Aaaaaaaaaand Glitter for frankening :D

Last, but not least, my swap with Beauty Judy:

Mhhhhhh- the old Maybelline polishes, my first Quirius :)
And there's more (I forgot to include the Nailene Nail Stickers and the Laura Geller spackle primer- oops):

 (all from left to right)
1st row: Sally Hansen Chili Frost, Ulta Matte-rial Girl Mini set, Maybelline Zip Fly
2nd row: Maybelline in: Shooting Stars, Five Pocket, Jean Pocket, Boot Leg
and Pro 10 in Changeling

Wow, I really love every single polish and can't wait to wear them- a huge THANK YOU to all of you, I really love and appreciate your generosity and can't thank you enough for fulfilling my lemmings and making my wishlist shorter.

Nail Mail, who doesn't love it?

Hey there :)

I recently swap with Ange from scandalously polished and the package arrived on Thursday but it was too dark to make any accurate pics, so here they are:
Edit: The names of the polishes are on the second pic, thanks Jackie S. for pointing it out :)

 

I love the card! Aww- so cute ^^

And my first Pure Ice and CND polishes :D

  

Again, thank you so much Ange for swapping with me- I love them all :D

Swap goodies& little holiday haul (pic heavy)

Hey :)

Here are the haul pics and swap goodies that I've promised you a few posts before. First, the swap goodies. I've arranged quite some swaps before I went to vacation and they all arrived when I came back- boy, it was like my birthday and christmas were on the same day :D


3 swaps over MUA, Peackock feathers is so stunning in person :D

And the other swap (by far the biggest package of goodies I've ever received: a swap with Brooke from Getcha Nails Did ! She sended along so many extras and so many sweets ( all already eaten ^^)



can you see the reflected holographic-shine of the 3 polishes on the floor? I love this effect...

Thank you so much Brooke for swapping, I love all the goodies you sent me.

And last but not least, the polishes I picked up when I was on vacation. I've never seen those little bottles of Revlon before. There are also two Vov polishes- it seems to be a Korean brand 'cause the label is written in Korean. And there was also an unnamed Mei-Linda polish, never heard of this brand before and it's actually a really dark purple jelly but my camera picked it up wrong.





Oh and i went shopping today and may found an dupe of the infamous Nfu.oh No.51 :D

A swap and a little haul

I actually got this little package a few days ago( nov. 30th) but I hadn't had the time to make some pictures& upload them so I do that now. The swap was with Sasha from Nihrinda's Blog( click here for her great blog) because she couldn't get a particular polish& a kajal from an Limited Edition of Essence (an European Brand). So I contacted her and we arranged this swap. I sent out first and you can see here. And here are the things that I got from her:

Nfu.Oh No. 50,Extras: Nailtek II and a Clinique pore minimizer sample.
My first Nfu.Oh- I've been lemming these polishes for quite a while now and she agreed to swap it. I still can't believe it- the bottle itself is really unique and the cap- the beautiful bottle-cap. And there's also Nailtek II- I've heard quite a few positive things about it and definitly will use it when I've finished my "old" Base coat. Last but not least- the Clinique pore minimizer: I've never had/bought something from Clinique because it's quite expensive and I tend to use cheaper (drugstore) things when it comes to face-cream, facial wash, etc...

Now to my little haul:

I sometimes go to Claire's and see what they've got (earrings and polishes). This time these two polishes caught my eye and I know I had to have them- polishes with integraded nail art stars! There are also other shapes (i think those are hearts, not sure about that) but those two shades& stars were my favourite. I think there were 2-3 other colours, one of them was a light-grape colour and another a flashy pink.
Here are the pictures of the two I bought:


You can even see the price tag I forgot to take off ^^
The white one is actually quite a white cream colour and has got a light silvery shimmer in it.


A close-up of the little nail art stars

Here's the other part of my little haul: The IQ polishes are a drugstore brand. I suppose the purple one was sold earlier this year (i think it might be during the summer) because I couldn't find them in the usual display. What you can't see in the photo is that it has got tiny tiny mulit-coloured glitter/shimmer in it. The other IQ polish is ( i assume) a new realease. It is a black with turquoise shimmer- might be a possible dupe of Bourjois No. 24 or W'n'W Dream Black Metallic which I posted a comparison NOTD here. And as you probably have seen the last, rosè one is a Dior varnish. It's Rose Boreale from the (newest?) Limited Edition and first saw a great (layered) swatch on Nora's nails from Nail of the Week.


f.l.t.r.: IQ Cosmetics Nr. 23 Black Burst, IQ Cosmetics No. 16 Violet and Dior Vernis in Rose Boreal.
