NOTD: Color Club Wild and Willing

When I came home from our weekend away, this was waiting for me, yay!
In the bottle it looks absolutely stunning, on the nail it just is stunning.
Great colour, lovely duochrome!

Put Konad over it to top it off.
Konad plate m64. Not my most favorite design, but it's nice.

Made some extra pics to show off the great douchrome.


Nice, right?

Thanks for stopping by!

P2 swatches part 2

As promised in the first part of my P2 swatches, here the second part!
Clicking on the images makes them larger.

All the colours are two layers.

P2 Elegant.
Oh my. A real surprise this one. At first it seems to be just another grey polish, just fun to put some Konad over it. But there's a truly gorgeous pink shimmer in it which makes this polish really special. I love this one.



P2 Spacy.
A dark gray polish with a metallic shine.



P2 Gorgeous!
A purplish polish, with a silver foily finish, and a nice shimmer.
Needs three coats though.


P2 Rebel.
Oh my. A lovely duochrome polish. Rich, deep-blue turns into a nice violet colour. Great.



Last up: P2 Dangerous.
A smooth teal. Nothing special, just a nice greenish polish.



So, that's it for my P2 swatches.
Hope you enjoyed reading and watching, and who knows, maybe this helped you to make a choice which one you like best!

Went away for the weekend...

So, we went away for the weekend, great hotel, most beautiful room.
It was a great weekend, although the weather wasn't really.
But it didn't bother us much though.

As a nailpolishfreak, going away for the weekend doesn't mean not buying any polish.
Although I do believe I went a little overboard.
Just a little.
Liiiittle tiny bit.

Right...?

Comparison: L.A. Girl Rockstar and Claire's glitter

The other day my sis and I were going through my polish-stash, and she noticed these two polishes looking quite the same.
They do look quite the same, so, comparison time!

The polishes are L.A. Girl Rockstar Overdose, and a glitter polish from Claire's, sadly no name on the bottle.
In the bottle they look quite alike:Click on the pics for larger images.

After the first layer it's immediately clear the Claire's is not nearly as glittery as the L.A Girl.
This is one layer of each.
On my index finger L.A Girl Overdose, middlefinger Claire's, ringfinger L.A. Girl Overdose, pinky Claire's.

This is 3 layers. Claire's can not compete with the L.A. Girl as glitteriness goes.

Last up I put on 2 extra layers of the Claire's polish. It got a little more dense and started to look a bit more like the L.A. Girl Rockstar Overdose. (yeah, sorry, pics are pre-clean up)
So, Claire's glitter polish is quite similar to L.A. Girl Rockstar Overdose, except it is way less glittery, and that's quite a shame. As colour and look goes, the two are quite similar.


Hope this was fun to read and maybe helpful. Bye for now.

NOTD: Diamond Cosmetics Sparkling Sherry

For today's (well, actually yesterday's , I'm away for the weekend in a lovely hotel.. ) mani I chose Diamond Cosmetics Sparkling Sherry, a wonderful colour!
So pretty, I love it.
Hard to get a nice pic of it though.
A subtle Konad over it, I used plate m71.

The shimmer in this polish is really pretty, I can't stop staring at my nails.

Do see I should practice my clean-up more, ghihi...

Thanks for stopping by!

P2 swatches part 1

Hi!
The other day I posted my recently received P2's, and added the promise to make swatches.
Here's part 1 of the swatches. It's quite too much to do all at once, so enjoy these, part 2 won't be long ;-)

It's such a shame there are not much swatches to find of these polishes, they are really great. Nice colours, good coverage, and for excellent prices.

All polishes are 2 layers. Enough for almost all, coverage is great.
Want to see bigger pics? Just click on them.

First up; P2 Stylish.
A rich, vibrant, deep dark pink. Notice the subtle blue shimmer?
I really love this colour. It's warm, deep and has some metallic shine in it. It's truly stylish.


P2 Heartbeat.
Just a nice pink polish. Might I add this is 2 layers?
Coverage is great.


P2 Joyful.
This polish kinda surprised me. Two coats was enough, just great. This polish has 'summer' written all over it!


P2 Soulful.
Nice brown colour with just a little hint of red, perfect for all occassions I guess. Covers great. I especcially like the tiny bit of redness, makes it really fashionable if you ask me.



P2 Rich.
This one is kinda hard to discribe. It's a rich, dark, purple colour with a hint of brown (if you ask me), and subtle blue, purple and red glitters.
Really nice.


Last up is P2 Diva.
A nice deep wine red polish with a hint of brown.
Needs three coats though, two coats is too sheer. On the pic I had two coats.


So, that's it for now, I will post swatches of my other P2 polishes later.
Hope you enjoyed this!
