Polish Bloggers Network: Lacquer Link Love 2/5/10

Naive Nails shows off her Mannequin Hands using OPI’s gorgeous shade Dulce de Leche. Trust me, these are not your typical mannequin hands!

Check out swatches of OPI Hong Kong’s Meet Me On A Star Ferry from polishSWATCHES and dare to fall in love with this shade.

Is Taupe Polish a Hit or Miss? Polished Beauty Blog weighs in on this whole “nude nail” obsession by giving her two-cents and asking for yours as well.

Travels with Euridice gives us a wonderful BB Couture comparison between Cap Haitian and OPI’s Do You Lilac it. I think that she may have found a dupe ladies, what do you think?!

Polish Freak is glad she changed her mind and went back to grab Essie’s Lilacism and now she’s sharing it with the world! Beautiful color.

Cucumpear gives a go at a Gradient Glitter Mannicure and it leaves me thinking of the cosmic and stars. You definitely have to check out this glittery manicure that will remind of the twinkling stars.

Mannicure Mammas has found a new love and it just so happens to be OPI’s Shim-Merry Chic. Have you seen it?

and now it’s time for the Network Giveaways announcement

Look who’s having a celebration party!!! Join in on all the fun by participating in 52 Flavors Blogaversary Giveaway.

Tuli’s Nails is hosting a romantic Valentine’s Day Giveaway on her site and if you haven’t had the chance to enter you really must do so. The goodies are extra sweet without the calories.

Can you name a dupe for this polish?! If so, leave your answer for your chance to win your choice of color from OPI’s Hong Kong collection.

and Polish Freak is having another China Glaze Up & Away giveaway in lieu of her reaching 200 followers.

New Depend's

I was gonna do all of these in one post, but do to unforeseen circumstances (the weather = no sun), I had to split it up in 2-3 posts. So starting out with the first 3 in this one 😀 The little pictures is Depend’s own pr-pics and a big thanks to Star PR for sending me these polishes for review 🙂

First up is no. 158, great creamy pink, needed a good 2-3 coats for the best coverage, Depends picture differs a very tiny bit, this is a shot in full sun so I guess why the difference is so big.

Then we have no. 184. Great lilac/grayish color. Love the dusty look on it 😀 Have really good coverage with 1½-2 coats and sorry for not having a sun picture of this 🙁 Ran out of sun late in the afternoon 🙁 If you want me to re-swatch this when theres some sun out, please write a comment, so I know if there’s anyone needing it 😉

No. 190. This is a really hard color to capture. because of its shimmer, it needed around 4 coats for this much coverage, but if you are looking for a sheer polish this is perfect. If I stopped with 1-2 coats it didn’t do much for my yellowish nails underneath, so at least 3½-4 coats for nails like mine 🙂

Status on the 1st week of my no buy

Since the 26th I have been on a no buy, so its a week and 1 day of no shopping. And must say its been really easy. Lots of times I have seen something and was about to click me on to the website or webshop. But then I just thought.. hm do I really need that color/t-shirt/bag? And closed down the window again. So there haven’t been that OMG I MUST HAVE feeling over anything yet. But I am definitely sure it will come. A lot of new collections is coming out now and there will be some of them I am just gonna have the urge to get. I had a strange feeling though.. looking at some of the new stuff thats out now.. None of them have really blown me away. I was sitting looking at the new OPI Hong Kong collection and I was not really feeling any of the colors like I need it 🙁 Could I be at a point where I don’t need any more colors? Is that possible? I mean I don’t have a big collection or anything, but I saw on someones blog lined up 6 almost identically colored greens and thought do I really need that? Could I be fed up at the moment with polishes? I didn’t think that it would be something I could think.. but well to look at the bright side.. this will make my no buy a lot easier. 🙂


Going home from work in the snow last night.. Truck that’s stuck and cant turn right uphill, ended up going around it

This road is usually all cleared of snow because its a big road with heavy traffic. But not this evening 🙁 Oh and the heavy traffic is always over when I get off work 😉 Yay for working 12 hour shifts 😛

Hope I haven’t offended anyone that have 6 identically green colored polishes or any other colors for that matter 😛
Have a nice evening and thanks for reading 🙂

Hey you wanna link?

Would love to update my blogroll, so if you want me to link to you, write a comment and I will add you to my blogroll. Only demand I have, is that you will give a link back to  me 😉

Best blog award!

I was tagged/nominated by the ever so lovely Babbling Brooke with the best blog award 😀 And must agree with Brooke I love all the ladies in the nailblogger community, really some one of a kind people outthere, I think you have to be with a hobby like this 😛

The rules of this award are as follows:

1. To accept the award, you must post it on your blog with the name of the person who has granted you the award, and a link to their blog.
2. Pass the award on to approximately 10-15 other blogs that you recently discovered, and think are great!
3. Contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

So I have covered no. 1 😛

The second one is going to be mighty trixy. I have mentioned before I read a lot of blogs 🙁 and it sometimes gets really overwhelming. Everyday when I log on to google reader I have around some 800 posts to go though. At the moment I have 529 subscriptions in the reader.. Danish/foreign fashion blogs, nailblogs and such, so at the same time I can give a little apology for not commenting as often as I would like, I am trying to trim it down a bit but I have no idea who not to read.. I love all the blogs I found 🙁 So the thing about passing it on to blogs that I recently discovered is down right impossible since I cant remember which is new or which is old, feels like I havebeen following them all since the beginning. But I will give it a little try then and give it to some of the newly discovered blogs through the Polish Blogger Network 🙂
