Swatch: basic No. 42

(above camera flash - below natural light)

This is another basic jewel. I usually don't like pinks but this one is really pretty.

Also is a color that I can wear for a few days without getting bored of it.

In real life is a bit less bright than in the picture but it surely isn't a soft shade.

If I find a back up bottle I will be sure to buy it.

This little one is a real jewel. It a metallic silver, very opaque. In the picutre are two cats but it's actually a one coater. It's perfect for nail art too. I already bought a back up bottle since it's really small (5ml) and very cheap (€ 0.99).

This polish doesn't go well with me. As you can see is a gold shimmer and I really liked it in the bottle. I think it doesn't go well with me because there is too much yellow in it. My skin really doesn't go well with yellow polish. Such a shame.

Swatch: basic No. 5

(above camera flash - below natural light)

I bought this color because it is really similar to RIMMEL 60 Seconds "Alaska" that I wanted for a long time. Since the price was only € 1.99 I gave it a try and I really love it. It's a really nice color. This is two coats and there is still VNL but I don't mind it that much in this case.

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!

NOTD: Agent Lavender Matte

My first Nail Of The Day. Yay!

This is China Glaze Agent Lavender with some glitter from basic and essie's Matte About You Top Coat.

Swatch: basic No. 499

It's very difficult to take a picture of this color. The picture in the natural light is the more accurate. Under artificial light this polish tends a little to orange, it reminds me of the color of bricks.

Swatch: basic No. 479

This is a very common polish. A clear base with multicolor glitter. The glitter isn't too much and I like it. Very easy to apply.

Swatch: basic No. 449

I'm starting to love this brand very much. It's super cheap and has amazing colors. Unfortunately there aren't that much colors.

I usually don't like purple but I adore this one. I think I will buy another bottle if I find it.

The color isn't very opaque and it was a little difficult to apply but I still love this color very much!!

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!!

Swatch: basic No. 149

This color is very similar to RIMMEL’s “Green With Envy” but it’s darker and less “blue-ish”. I still like it very much.
