latest Haul

Hey there!

Today's post is about my latest haul. I also found one of four H&M Holo-polishes and the ones that carries them only sells them one at the time and not all at one time( I first saw the pink one, now the golden one, I hope, I can get the others). I also bought two Hello Kitty polishes because of their really cute bottles and the black one is really opaque which I never would have expected( I just swatched it on a piece of paper).
Do you still remember this post last month? Where I wrote a preview about some holo-polishes? Well, the Limited Edition's released now and I was really dissapointed in these because they( the polishes) just have a dull shimmer in it and aren't holographic. Photoshop was really a great friend of them :(
I just bought the silver polish of this collection(no. 290).
And last but not least there are three P2 polishes. P2 is an German/Austrian Brand and is sold in Germany(there in a drug store called "DM") and in one tiny store in Vienna(which is ridiculous because the polishes are produced in Wiener Neudorf, Austria). The polishes are from a Limited Edition called "What a Girl Wants".
So here are the pics:


Artdeco no. 140, Hello Kitty by H&M in Really Black, Artdeco 290


Hello Kitty by H&M in Wicked Purple, H&M in Moonless Night, H&M Creme de la creme

And here a comparison of Creme de la creme(CDLC) & China Glaze's Gr8

I couldn't capture the Holo-effect because the sun was hiding and the weather is quite terrible at the moment( and still is).
As you can see in the pictures, Gr8 is a more yellow-sand based tone, where CDLC is more a light-brown Holo.



I was lazy to write the names down so I took this picture :D

NOTD: Birthday Konadicure aka Remember, remember the 5th of November ;)

Hey :)

Today's my birthday(plus a british holiday "Guy Fawkes Night" with the rhyme Remember, remember the 5th of November- by the way that Line was also used at the beginning of the movie V for Vendetta with Natalie Portman) and I wanted to show you my last NOTD, a Konadicure. I love holographic polishes so I chose China Glaze's Let's do it in 3D from the Kaleidoskope Collection. The formula on these couldn't be better: it dried fast and was opaque in 2 coats. I let the pictures speak for itself. I used Konad's image plate M3 and M14.


(2 coats)


(about 15 minutes later, with one coat of Seche Vite)


(underneath there's my favourite scarf)


Did I mention I love holographic polishes? ^^
Plus it's my first try with trying to capture a holo- polish

Previous NOTD: Sasatinnie

Hello my dear readers

My today's post ist about a previous NOTD: Sasatinnie 1G9, a purple Flakie I won at happyberrynaiad's giveaway. The colour itself is really gorgeous but unfortunatly the opal flakies aren't really visible/I couldn't catch the awesomeness with my camera. I love the shape of the bottle and the cap of it is also really well-made. I didn't had any problems with the application.
