OPI: Shimmer & Shimmer

lyra — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 03:37:16 +0000

I was really excited about the OPI Burlesque Collection because of the glitter polishes in it. The first one I would like to show you is Shimmer & Shimmer. It’s a mixture of loads of lighter blue, silver, gold, pink and orange glitter. It’s super sparkly and it’s perfect for winter. Here are three coats.

Nfu Oh: 65

lyra — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 19:54:27 +0000

Hi!

Because of the gorgeous holo Nfu Oh polishes I “invested” in the Nfu Oh Aqua Base. I couldn’t help myself and I bought another two hologram colors – Nfu Oh 65 and 62.

Nfu Oh 65: Where have you been all my life? It’s the most gorgeous holo light blue color I’ve ever seen. It’s ridiculously holographic even when it’s not on sunlight. It takes two coats for full coverage on the Aqua base.

I’m happy that I bought the Aqua base because now I won’t have problems with the application. There will be no more bold spots and strikes anymore

Nfu Oh: 61 + Barry M: Indigo

lyra — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 19:45:59 +0000

Nfu Oh 61 is the best silver holo I have ever seen! This one is truly a holo madness! It’s the most holographic color I have ever worn and I love it! The only thing I regret is that I don’t have Nfu Oh Aqua base, so the application was a night mare. I tried applying it over different base coats and even without it, but polish is always causing me problems with bold spots and streaks. At the end I carefully applied three thin layers without base coat. And it was worth it!

Nfu Oh 61:

I made a ruffian with Barry M Indigo. Indigo isn’t the right color on the pictures – in person it’s more purple.

Have a nice time! Lyra

Finger Paints: Art You Blue? + Konad

lyra — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 21:56:48 +0000

Hi!

Today is not the best day for me, I didn’t get enough sleep and I’m a little grumpy. I will show you a polish by Finger Paints which is called Art You Blue? It’s a deep, smoky, shimmery blue frost. The frost finish is not very noticeable so it’s still nice polish. The application was great and it took two coats for full coverage.

Finger Paints Art You Blue?

The Konad pattern it’s from m35 image plate and it’s made with China Glaze OMG. I emphasized some of the dots with Nfu Oh 61 and the dotting tool. I made it so that the holo effect is even more noticeable.

Bye! Lyra*

Orly: Cosmic FX Collection

lyra — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 19:56:54 +0000

Hi!

I bought in my opinion three of the most attractive shades from the Orly Cosmic FX collection. They are limited edition. These polishes have a glass flecked finish which gives the polishes a lot of depth and the duochrome effect.

Let’s start with the Lunar Eclipse. It is very bright electric blue color, that flashes purple from some angles. It’s stunning! It’s opaque in two coats.

******

Out Of This World: deep purple base with purple, blue and golden shimmer flecks. It needs two coats for full coverage.

*****

Galaxy Girl: it’s nice deep vine-reddish purple base with turquoise and dark red shimmer flecks. This one give a little vampy look with a modern touch. Love it! Two coats for coverage.

*****

I think Orly nailed it with this collection. The colors are really attractive and eye-caching. I love this glass flecked finish. The formula is great – like almost all of Orly’s polishes. The amount of polish in the bottle is huge. I’m thinking of buying one more shade

Barry M: Indigo

lyra — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 22:39:25 +0000

Barry M Indigo polish is … well an indigo shade . It’s something between blue and purple. Depending on the lightning it’s sometimes more blue, other times more purple. I didn’t have any issues applying it. It’s opaque with two coats. This one was a nightmare for my camera. The first picture is the closest to reality, the second is too blue.

Barry M Indigo:

Do you like this shade?

Barry M: Blueberry Ice Cream

lyra — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 22:35:13 +0000

Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream is lighter pastel blue color. It looks like clear blue sky. It’s opaque in two coats. I really don’t know how I fell about this color on me.

Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream:

I did a simple and quick, but still nice manicure with the dotting tool. I used the following polishes: Essence Deep Blue Sea (dark blue), Essie Blanc (white), China Glaze Millennium (silver) and Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau (light blue). Here is the result:

lyra — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 13:54:33 +0000

Hi!

Here is something blue for you . Essence Just Rock It! is dark blue creamy shade and it takes only one coat for full coverage!

Essence Just Rock It!:

I put one coat of Nfu Oh 54 over it and the manicure came out looking gorgeous. It looks like islands in the middle of the sea. Nfu Oh 54 is jelly blue transparent base with turquoise/blue flakes.

Like it?

OPI: What’s With The Catitude? + Barry M: Instant Nail Effect

lyra — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 17:14:53 +0000

Because I love the crackle polish effect so much, I just had do did it again. This time I used OPI What’s With The Catitude? for the base and added some holo effect with the Kleancolor Holo Blue polish.

And here is the picture with the crackle polish:

I really like it how the holo effect sparkles between cracks.

Barry M: Pure Turquoise + Essence: Glisten Up!

lyra — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 13:25:02 +0000

Another beautiful color from Barry M polishes – it’s called Pure Turquoise. Cream blue shade with a splash of green. This one is more on the blue side of color palette. It applies nicely and it’s opaque in two coats.

Barry M Pure Turquoise:

I added one layer of Essence Glisten Up!, which is sheer light blue base, with turquoise-blue-green flakes and micro shimmer. I think this polish would look better on darker base.

Bye! -Lyra
