Swatch: China Glaze EMERALD SPARKLE

(above camera flash - below natural light)

I don't think Emerald Sparkle needs any kind of presentation.
It's one of the most famous CG polishes.
It's extremely beautiful green glitter in a black base. AWESOME!


Since I don't think the first two pictures show the full beauty of this polish here is another one take under my kitchen lamp. I know it's a weird place for pictures but it shows the the glitter very well. Since I like how the picture turn out maybe I will use this lamp in the future too.

Swatch: China Glaze No.864 HELI-YUM

(above camera flash - below natural light)

I'm absolutely in love with Heli-Yum.
It's a color that I cannot get tired of.
It's pretty hard to describe it: it's a berry-ish red creme? I don't know I'm awful at describe colors. I just love it very much.

Some old NotD

Shower Together is one of my favourite polish. I would never tell by looking at the bottle but on my nails is just amazing and with a bit of silver sparkle it quickly became one of my favourite NOTD!

♥♥♥♥♥
I don't love pinks but this one is really pretty and it looks good on me!

Swatch: China Glaze No.691 AWAKEN

(above camera flash - below natural light)

This color is awesome.
It didn't appeal to me that much in the bottle since I don't like metallic polish that much but once I put it on it was love at first sight.
I probably like it because it has some blue reflex and I love blue! It's a very original color!

Swatch: China Glaze No.650 SHOWER TOGETHER

(above camera flash - below natural light)

This color is one of my favorites.
I was really surprised with this color. It was more beautiful than what I tought it would be.
It matches my skin color very well!
The only problem with this color is that stains the nails. When it first arrived I wore it on my middle finger without basecoat and when I removed it my nail was yellow! For this swatch I applied two coats of basecoat and didn't have any problems!

Swatch: China Glaze No.683 SECRET PERI-WINK-LE

(above camera flash - below natural light)

This is really beautiful. Another color I was really looking forward but I wasn't really satisfied with this one either. Still very beautiful!

Swatch: China Glaze No.684 AGENT LAVENDER

(above camera flash - below natural light)

This was one of the one I was expecting more. It's a beautiful lavender creme but I'm not too satisfied with how it looks on my nails.

Swatch: China Glaze No.625 FOR AUDREY

(above flash camera - below natural light)

Another color that I love. It's more blue than MINT CANDY APPLE.

Haul: Drugstore and e-tailer


The other day I was shopping with my mum and little sister. I drag them to a drugstore (it's a Swiss drugstore with a strange name that I don't remember). Here they have more common brands like Rimmel, Maybelline, Deborah and Debby but they also have this Basic polishes that I don't find anywhere else. This polishes are really cheap. The small ones are €0.99 and the big ones are €1.99. Super cheap! The only bad thing is that the small ones have more interesting colors but the bottles are so small that after a mani it's almost empty and unfortunately there aren't always two bottles of the same color.
The polishes above aren't colors that I'm usually fond of but these where appealing! I'm swatching them and I will soon post about them!



The day after my mini drugstore haul, the postman brought me this wonderful box full of goodies.
In the picture above there is my first order from TransDesign.com. This site is great because it has a lot of different brands. At other site sites you can easily bought OPI and China Glaze (even if some of this sites ship China Glaze polishes only within US territory) but I didn't find another site with a lot of brands like TransDesign. There are also a lot of nice things for nail art. I will show more in detail what I bought with swatches and reviews in the future!
The thing I didn't like about TransDesign was the shipping fees. They were really expensive, 1/3 of what I paid was for shipping fees. I didn't like it but later I find out that if you order a maximum of 9 bottles of polish you pay only $ 18 because there are prepackaged boxes. Well, next time I will make a smaller order. I was really satisfied with all the other aspects. The box took only 11 days to arrive and was perfectly packed! The polishes where packed at groups of three in cute China Glaze or Orly boxes with a lot of polystyrene in between. It took me half an hour to open the whole box and take out all the goodies. I wanted it to last the longer possible. I was so excited to hold my first ever bottle of OPI and China Glaze!! It was like I was holding the Holy Grail...
I also ordered China Glaze Calypso Blue but was out of stock so it will have to wait another order.
I will update the blog soon with my new polishes!!
