Swatch: Astra No.122

(above camera flash - below natural light)

The second Astra polish I bought is gold glitter in a light orange base. It's obviously a polish for layering so below you can see it above same creme polishes.


Here some close-ups of this polish above white, orange and black creme polish.

Swatch: Astra No.120

(above camera flash - below natural light)

My first time trying an Astra polish. I like the quality, it was easy to apply. In the picture you can still see VNL after two coats but in reality I didn't noticed it.
The color in the bottle is a little plain but on the nails is really pretty. A nude/beige color with gold shimmer.

Haul


Last week end I went in town and came home with these little goodies.

Since KIKO is having a promotion and all the polishes are €1.90 I bought home:
  • 280 Arancione
  • 298 Turchese Microglitter
  • 299 Verde Ardesia Scuro Perlato
I also totally accidentaly found out some new brands of polish:
  • Astra no.122 (€3.50)
  • Astra no.120 (€3.50)
  • Wet 'n' Wild Dream Black Metallic (€3.99)
  • Miss Sporty no.140 (€2.99)
I read a lot about Astra polishes but it was my first time seeing them.
About the Wet 'n' Wild I was very surprised because I didn't expect to find them in Italy. Unfortunately there wasn't a very large variety of color.
The las tone is from the brand Miss Sporty. This brand is intended for young girls so it's very cheap and the color are basic, mostly pink, peach and nudes.

Well, I still have some polish from the TransDesign order to swatch but after that I will swatch this babies!
