Not again!!!!!!

I'm getting tired of this.... this is the second time that I buy nail polish from eBay and this is what happens...

 I felt the stench of nail polish as I got it in the mail and I had to open it from the side

 Luckily Fly and You Only Live Twice was still intact....

but sadly I couldn't say the same about Suzi and the 7 Düsseldorfs... :(

Who said you can't make Christmas Cards with Polish?

For this years Christmas cards I did a little special thing... Since I have many nail polishes I thought I could use them on doing my cards....

I first draw the motive that I wanted on the cards and then I just filled in with polish :)

To my friend in Paris

For this Christmas tree I used Amour red, Viva La Diva 112 Green Mamba, H&M Green street and Maybelline 130 Winter Baby

To my Grandmother in Mexico

This was an easy one.... Models own Snowflake

To my Grandparents here in Sweden

To this I use: 17 Bronzy and Gilt, Depend 223, Amour red and H&M Antique Gold

To my friend and his boyfriend in USA

Kiss nail art paint Black, H&M Back by noon, H&M Green street and nails inc. Will

To my friends and there son in UK

And then the last one...but with the most polishes use: White, Green, Black, Yellow, Red and Blue (the ones with black cap) are from NETTO, the food store that cost me 79 SEK for 8 polishes...
The other colors are H&M Taupe & Green street and Models Own Juicy Jules & Dancing Queen

Goldeneye swatch from OPI

This is one more of the polish that I ordered from Asos 

It's Goldeneye from the James Bond Collection from OPI.

In the bottle it looks like it's gonna be a golden glitter but the polish is more smooth then a glitter polish. And therefore it's easier to take the polish off...  I really like this one.

sorry for the bad picture, but it's winter in Sweden and we hardly see the sun...  :(

I painted Goldeneye on my tips just like a french manicure. The nail polish I used was Cherry from H&M... it's a small little bottle that are quite cheep at H&M.

New Models Own Polishes directly from UK :)

Thanks to one of my friends that are doing a semester abroad, I could take part of Models Owns gifts from Boots. The gift was, if you buy 2 polishes you get, a golden polish and a black nail pen polish...

My friend Kim bought me Snowflakes and Northern Light from the new Wonderland collection from models own.

I wanted to test it straight away but since I already had polish on my hands I had to find a guinea pig amongst my friends :P

And that was the results of the black nail pen

For you in Sweden

Tuesday when I went to the store, Netto, I found this amongst there things:

Nail Art Kit with 8 colours; black, white, pink, red, purple, green, yellow and blue for only 80 krs.. It may not be the best of quality but I'm willing to take a chance.

BarryM - Croc Effects

Already on Tuesday I painted my nails with BarryM's Croc Effects, it's only me that has had much to do at Uni that I haven't had time to write about it.

But her goes.

I bought it together with this once from ASOS

 

I started of by painting my nails with Essies - Sure Shot and then applying the BarryM. It says you have to apply it on a touch-dry polish (otherwise it will not stick and then just dry and fall of...yes I tried to paint without doing what it says on the instructions). So first 2 layers of Essie and then you have to apply a THIN layer of Croc Effects... well it went so-and-so to do that (I was a bit stressed doing it, cos I was doing the dinner at the same time...you know girls we multitask). I think it's actually really cool and I think next time I will use a lighter colour under so that you really can see the effect, cos Sure Shot is to dark.

BarryM - Blue Plum

I have had BarryM Blue Plum Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint on my nails since Saturday and not a scratch or chipping.. I have showered, washed my hands and done the dishes. And it's still perfect... By now other polishes would have chipped, but not this :) And I like that is so shiny.

Oh ASOS...

I got a paper in the post that I had to go to our Post office to get a parcel...When I get there I was in shock... Like what the f*** have I bought... wasn't it just some nail polishes.....

This 40 x 30 cm parcel greeted me at the post office. I got home and opened it, and what do I find...2 small boxes where the 5 nail polishes I have bought was in and I could put all of them in this 12x 12 cm box, the rest of the things in the BIG parcel was plastic to fill it out... WHAT A WASTE OF A BIG PARCEL.... don't you have smaller things to put the items in, ASOS?????

 Well this is what I bought... Models Own - Disco Heaven, BarryM - Blue Plum (Gelly polish) and Croc Effects and OPI - The Living Daylights and Goldeneye.

Rearranging my Helmer

In September my friend Sara and I went to a big shopping center, in one of the corners they have IKEA...so I bought a Helmer (read about it here). I then ordered my polishes after colour, I thought that was a smart idea... well not long after I changed it again (!). Now I have them in brands instead... much easier.

So here comes my pics of my new arrangement

From left to right: H&M and OPI

I think H&M was the first place where I bought my own polishes, the roundish ones (and not using my mums). And I really like O.P.I, but as I have written earlier here in the blog is that a bottle costs 150 kr (about $ 23 !!!!!)

From left to right: Models Own, BarryM and IsaDora

IsaDora got me hooked on nail polish and that with the help of my godmother, that bought me 2 bottles just like that...

From left to right: Yves Rocher, nails. inc , L.A Color and Rimmel

Some of the Yves Rocher I have had since I was 15-16 years old.. but still working perfectly :)

From the back to front and left to right: Essence, Kiss Nail Art Paint, Pixi, Viva La Diva, Depend and 17

From the back to front and left to right: Collection, Essie, Maybelline, Pieces, bissu, Lacura, Jore, Primark, Fantasia, missguided, Manhattan and Amour. 

And this is my Mix drawer...
