Polishes bought in Madrid

 I did buy some polishes in Madrid...but it wasn't much and I thought that it would have been more, but that was not the case this time..

 I started of at Tiger at Calle Carretas ( http://www.tiger-stores.com/ ) where I bough this purple polish for €2

Then we went to Primark at Centro Comercial Plenilunio, where I bought this two sets of Caviar Polish, €3.50 each. Black polish with black caviar and white with sprinkles caviar. They also had a wide range of 4-pack polishes and stupid of me didn't bought one single one :( 

 
  I also bought this 4 container with glitter in the shades pink/purple for €1 (it said €1,50 but the guy had a good eye and made it cheaper ^_^ )
 
 
Then we finally went to KIKO... *yes*   There I only bought 3 polishes since I couldn't made up my mind....they have so many shades of the same color that I don't know what to do :/ well I did buy 374 Pearly Chocolate Noir, a very dark shade...it looks dark purple/brown in the bottle but is more black with goldie flakes when it comes out, then 401 Peacock Green and 400 Steel Grey both holo polishes that are super nice and there where on sale :)

New polishes from Mexico

On Thursday my mum came home from Mexico and therefore also a lot of things, Christmas gifts from the family (which I don't say no to ^_^ ).  My cousins girlfriend had bought me 5 polishes as a gift to me :) A black nail pen polish, 2 colorful polishes in metallic blue, Azul Elétrico, and pink, Rosa Coral, and 2 crackling polishes in black and silver. The four last once are from COLORfuN and the black nail pen in from an unknown brand.

I'm back from Madrid!!!!

I came home yesterday night... very tired and with a heavy suitcase ^_^ I woke up like 1 ½ hrs ago and I'm trying to clean my room and put all the things I bought in the right place...I also have to fold my clothes (my mum did 3 machines with alllllll my clothes from the trip) and I also have to fix the pics from the trip in a folder.

I did buy some polishes but to be honest I wasn't overwhelm by the offer of polishes that the stores had.. We did go to one Sephora store at Plaza de la Puerta del Sol... and I was really let down buy it.. The Sephora I used to buy in, when I was living in Barcelona was soooooooooooooooo much bigger and had more things... perhaps we just went to the wrong Sephora shop in Madrid...

well I will try and upload some post about the polishes I did buy :) but now clean some more.

Tomorrow I'm going to Madrid...and I was planing on being Internet free for this weekend in the Spanish capital. I return on Tuesday afternoon/night with hopefully loads of more nail polishes... Actually today I counted all my polishes and (with the 5 polishes I got today, since mum came back from Mexico) I have 153 !!!!! and I still have 5 from Holographic Hussy' s blog sale that hasn't arrived and 1 from eBay...simple math and then it's 159 (!)

well well, we will see what I find in Madrid :P


Have a nice weekend and A HAPPY NEW YEAR :)

You Only Live Twice from OPI

One of the nail polishes that did survive the trip from L.A to Sweden was You Only Live Twice from the James Bond Collection from OPI.

It's a really nice red one that goes well to this season. It looks like it's glitter (which is a pain in the ass, to remove) but it's actually not glitter. I really like this one and one of the reasons is just that it looks like glitter but isn't.


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

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.
