CrowsToes - Frogs' Breath

Hi Everybody!!!

I am back with a new indie swatch, since I haven't done any in a longer time :) Should maybe mix swatches and nail designs equally... or what do you think? Maybe at least one swatch and one design every week, and more if I am in mood :D 

Today I wanna show you a polish I was waiting for a loooong time. Every time I saw it, it was sold out. And fiiinally I grabbed one from llarowe. Oh happy daaaaay :D

Frogs' Breath is a mix of medium and small green (dark & light), golden and a few black hex glitters in a clear base. Very very pretty!!!

I decided to layer my frog polish over 2 coats of OPI - "Stranger Tides". I think it really is a great combo, and it reminded me again how awesome this OPI polish actually is ^^

Application was easy. It was a perfect formula and there was enough glitter on the brush to avoid any fishing.  I purchased my polish over Llarowe.

See you soon for another nail design ;) 

Dollish Polish - Gotham City

Hallo, hi & moi ^^

Again I show you an older swatch today since they start to pile up on my laptop and I need to get a little order in my blogger-life :D

It's, like so often, from my favourite indie maker Dollish Polish. A true beauty: clear base with black bar glitter, tiny black hex glitter, medium teal hex glitter, medium square black glitter and big hex teal pieces. So pretty! It's called Gotham City.

I decided to layer Gotham City over my probably favourite creme blue, OPI "What's With The Cattitude", a bright wonderful medium/lighter blue which is just to die for. 

And now....PICTUUUUUURES!! :D

I wore this combo a few days and just loved it! Whats With The Cattitude has a very easy opaque texture, I applied 2 average coats. Then I dabbed on one coat of Gotham City, which is very easy to apply. There is a ton of glitter inside and no fishing is required.

I hope you guys had an awesome weekend!

See you probably on wednesday, which is my birthday. ^_^ 

Ps: Oh, you can get Dollish Polish like always on her homepage or over Llarowe

Dollish Polish - Put A Ring On It

Welcome Back Everybody!

Today's post is already 3 weeks old, as you probably can tell on my nail shape, but I really really need to show these polishes to you :)

As a base color I choose my probably most loved dark purple, Wet n Wild "Disturbia". It's so deep and eggplant like, just woooow *_*

Since this was still not enough for me, I topped it with one dabbed coat of Dollish Polish's "Put A Ring On It". These polish is made of tiny golden glitter, golden holographic glitter and little black hex glitter in a clear base. Gorgeous!!! 

Disturbia is a super opaque purple color, you could probably get away with just one coat. I choose two thin ones.
Put A Ring On It is very easy to apply, just dabb on the polish. You will get a huge ammount of glitter on your brush, easy deluxe. Dried very fast.

I topped everything with "CND Speedey"

You can grab your bottle of Put A Ring On It RIGHT HERE, but be quick, if it is sold out it will never be restocked again. Right now there are still a few available :)

Enjoy your weeeeeeeeekend :D

Lucky 13 Lacquer - Phoenix Lament

Hiiiiiii guys!!!

Today is a boooring sunday and the only joy I had today, besides cooking a great pasta dish, was to change my nail polish again :D

I choose a brand new polish I just got last week, from a new to me indie brand called "Lucky 13"
They have amazing polishes from different kind of collections, and I choose 4 from their awesome Harry Potter collction "Mischief Managed" - awwwww *_* I just love all of these HP inspired polishes and their names - it was so hard just to choose four of them (for now ^^)

Today I wanna show you a polish inspired by Dumbledore's phoenix Fawkes, it's called "Phoenix Lament".
It is a clear base with red, orange and yellow shredded glitter. Very cool and bright!

I decided to layer it over one coat of China Glaze - Smoke And Ashes.

Phoenix Lament was very easy to dab onto the nail and it has a big ammount of glitter. Dry time was surprisingly fast. It just is a little gritty, so I decided to layer one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food on top before I applied my top coat - and this was a MISTAKE! Surely it made the polish way smoother, but it as well created thousand of tiny tiny little bubbles all over my nail! So... I guess I will not use it again -_-

Anyway, it's a fun polish and I enjoy it a lot! Check out Lucky 13 RIGHT HERE.

Ciao!!!

Dance Legend - Fantastic Trip

Welcome back my dear polish addicts :D

Like promised, today I will show you my 2nd Dance Legend holographic baby. I as well have to admit that I "accidentaly" ordered 4 new ones from their russian page lol.
So I guess there will be a few more swatches in future :)

Today´s holo is called "Fantastis Trip", a peach-pinkish polish, which looks pretty nude in the shadow. A very interesting color, not so BAM in your face - and still it freaks out when it hits the sun <3

Check it out

And here is how it looks in the shadow - it was a little hard to capture but I think the first picture does it well.

Very lady-like, its't it? I adore these polish!

I used again 2 coats, with average base- and topcoat. There are no special procedures required, these holo is unstoppable, even without aqua base or with topcoat ;)

Again, you can purchase Dance Legends creations over their russian webpage: here ^^

OR over my alltime favourite polish-page Llarowe :)

Have a great day, here in Helsinki we have 26 degree and beautiful sun <3

See you on thursday with my 3rd Dance Legend swatch!

Dance Legend - Android

Happy Sunday!

It´s sooo hot today outside, but I somehow have nothing to do and slept a lot and stayed in my room. Boring sunday :) But at least I have my little blog to work on ^^

Today I have an awesome holographic polish to show you. Actually I have 3 of them - today is just the start ^^

Since a few month there is a new russian nail polish brand spreading like crazy, called Dance Legend. They are just amazing and have a very wide range of collections, from sand finnish to neons, nudes, glitters etc. But their holographic polish collection "New Prism" is just breathtaking!

The one I wear right now is called "Android", a grass green beauty with an amazing holographic effect.

But, let the pictures talk, shall we? :D Oh, the holographic effect in real was much stronger, my camera was just not able to capture it perfectly :)

And now 2 pictures how it looks like in the shadow. No holographic effect, but it's still a very pretty green. In artificial light it is shimmering already a little more.

I wore 2 coats of Android, with OPI Nail Envy basecoat and a fast drying topcoat, it's a very opaque polish. The topcoat did not dull the holographic effect at all. As well you don´t need a special aqua basecoat. These Dance Legend holos are VERY easy, no special preperation and care needed :)

I purchased mine direct on the official russian homepage. It´s a very nice service and low shipping - it just took around 8 weeks until it arrived. That's the only minus. But I knew it :)
You can as well wait for a new restock and grab yours from Llarowe.

Enjoy the last weekend-day ^^

Shimmer - Tammy

Welcome Back :)

I was on a beautiful wedding, around 3 weeks ago, and I wore a black dress with white and purple flower pattern. So I needed to find a nice polish for these event which fits and is ultra sparkly and outstanding. And: I found one :)

It is the first Shimmer polish I ever tried, and it was to die for! Tammy is a polish LOADED with purple, black and gold tiny glitter, and has as well some silver bar glitter inside. It´s incredible.

I layered it over a pretty red toned purple from Essence, oh well I forgot the name, will search for it tomorrow - today the digging in my polish box would wake up my flatmates :D

I have to say that these polish was incredible hard to capture in pictures, and my cam didn´t want to focus a lot. I took like 20 pics and ended up with uploading 7 of them, the rest was not very great. These polish you just have so see with your own eyes :)

Pictures in sunlight.

Pictures in shadow.

I used 1 coats of Tammy over my purple base coat, and it was extremely easy to apply. There is so much glitter on your brush, you don´t need to dig for it at all. :) It´s a bomb!

You can purchase Shimmer´s polishes on Etsy.

Have a great new week!!
