Best blog award!

3 kommentarer

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 🙂

Got this with this months Nailmail along with 2 others polishes from BB couture.

Love the different color shimmers it has in it 😀 Pretty good coverage with one coat however I found it a bit difficult to apply.

Anyways I love this deep purple color! Had it on for 2 whole days before removing it again and that’s was only so I could swatch some other stuff 😛

Orly – Wild Wisteria, Ginger Lily and Pure Petunia

23 kommentarer

This is the second half of the bunch I got sent* and thought it was about time to do this 😉 The Orly Bloom Collection which most likely represent some of the spring flowers(I don’t know that for sure though :P) that you can expect to see when spring comes around. All the colors in the collection have names after a flower that seems to be within the color range of the polish.

First one is Pure Petunia and the pictures I found on the web have so many different colors so I am guessing without being a big green-thumbed person that it’s a flower that’s being mutated and bred in all kinds of ways, but I think the one I found have a somewhat similar color to the polish ;D And no matter what its a really lovely purple creme color and good coverage with 1 coat ;D

Then there is Ginger Lily which is a like orangy / bronze colored polish. When I saw the color in the bottle I didn’t really like it, but it looked better when I put it on the nails 🙂 This also had excellent coverage with 1 coat 🙂

Last but not least the Wild Wisteria, very dark purple color which in some lights come out like a more dark blue color. Very hard to capture the real colors with this one. But I can definitely see a color similarity in the flower. And like with a lot of dark colors it has good coverage with only 1 coat needed 🙂 I really like these 3 colors from the collection and would love to show you the second half, but I don’t have it and it wont be release until sometime in February. If you want to check out the other colors in the collection its spread out on a few blogs but try to do a google search on Orly Bloom collection and it should be easy to find them 🙂 Thanks for looking/reading <3

*Collection was sent to me from the manufacturer.

China Glaze Up & Away Collection, Happy Go Lucky, Heli-Yum & Four Leaf Clover

10 kommentarer

I was lucky enough to get sent this product for review from the manufacturer* so here is my pictures of them and thoughts 🙂

I don’t know why but when I see the colors from this collection I think about the circus and fun and summer. And I don’t even like clowns that much 😛 They are scary 🙁 But the colors still cheer me up and with all this winter and snow and cold, its much needed! That’s for sure.

First up is Happy Go Lucky – its a creme and applies really well, but needed two coats for total coverage. It could be that I apply a fairly thin first coat, but I like to put it on thinner because there is a less chance of bubbles 🙂 But back to the polish. I really like it and even though yellow is not one of my favorite colors so I am pretty sure this is one that will pop up during spring and summer!

Then we have Heli-yum – also a creme. As with most red/pinks I find it very hard to capture. As you can see on the first picture the bottle color is slightly more pinkish than the color on the nails. But its really depending on which light is on and the surroundings. But nevertheless I love pinks and this one is a definite keeper 😉 A girl cant have to many pinks!

Four Leaf Clover – or the chameleon as I like to call it. This is also a creme, I actually think the full collection is all cremes, but not entirely sure. It applies really well, I think one coat did the job here and ½ coat for finishing touches. And now look at the 3 pictures below. Of the same polish. Notice any difference? Just click to make them bigger, had to make them tiny so they could fit besides each other. Amazing how a color can be so versatile. Blue, green and minty. And when I look at it in real life it looks more like grass green.. I think these are some great colors and I am sure these and many of the pastels that there are out will be good this upcoming season 🙂 I am gonna put this one on the toes for sure! 😛 And I would definitely recommend this for Sct. Pattys day 😉

And to finish off I have taken a picture with no flash, the only light is a desk lamp. I honestly think this is the most accurate shot of the colors, except of the Heli-Yum, where the top picture is the best.
Have you found your spring colors yet?

*All opinions concerning this product is my own and I am not getting paid to write this.

Thanks for reading 🙂
