Orly: Space Cadet

lyra — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 03:09:52 +0000

Hi!

I simply had to buy the Space Cadet from Orly Cosmic FX collection. I think this one it the most interesting color in the collection. It’s like a chameleon and it gives so many different colors! It doesn’t look good while in the bottle but once you apply it to the nails it’s real killer. I’ll let the pictures talk for themselves.

Orly Space Cadet:

I also took more photos of the Galaxy Girl.

Have a nice day!

Today I have for you Catrice Sold Out For Ever. Sold Out For Ever is light green pastel mint shade with a lot of fine shimmer, which is a slightly darker than the base.

Catrice Sold Out For Ever:

I have done the Konad with Essence dark green polish – Jungle and with the image plate m65. I also added a fimo lime on the ring finger.

OPI: Here Today … Aragon Tomorrow Suede

lyra — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 13:52:23 +0000

OPI converted another of their polishes into matte suede finish. It was released for fall 2010. Here Today … Aragon Tomorrow Suede is rich emerald green matte with a load of silver and golden shimmer. The formula is great, it’s not too thick and it didn’t dry too fast. Takes two coats for full coverage.

OPI Here Today … Aragon Tomorrow Suede:

I know you’re probably thinking, how beautiful this matte finish is, but wait till you see it with a glossy top coat cover. It’s even more gorgeous! It sparkles a lot, even with no glitter in it. It’s nice in mate but it’s even more awesome with the top coat.

China Glaze: Awakening Collection (For Halloween 2010)

lyra — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 15:25:26 +0000

China Glaze Awakening Collection it’s just perfect to get into the Halloween mood. It’s a four piece set with three glitter polishes and Fast Forward Top coat.

In our country we don’t celebrate Halloween, but we have a similar tradition in the early spring. It’s called ”Pust”. Pust’s purpose is that we scare the winter away while wearing scary masks and making a lot of noise. We also dress up in different characters (scary or not) and children go from door to door and ask for candy. It’s a very old tradition, originating from pagan times.
Enough of talking, let’s go to polishes .

*****

Mummy May I?: fuchsia pink glitter mixed in dark jelly purple base. This one is my favorite from the collection. It needs two coats for full coverage.

Ick-A-Bod-Y: bright sparkly orange glitter in a dark brown base. This one is much more glittery than Mummy May I?. It took two coats to go opaque.

Zombie Zest: this one really reminds me of zombies and swamps. I’m not a fan of this color, but it’s interesting. It’s yellow brownish jelly base with a lot of golden and green micro glitter in it. I hate this color on me! But it’s perfect for Halloween if you are going to be some dead creature of the night. It takes three coats for full coverage.

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.

China Glaze: Vintage Vixen Fall 2010 (part 2)

lyra — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 22:46:21 +0000

I got the other half of China Glaze Vintage Vixen collection a few days ago, so here are the swatches If you missed the first part, you can see it HERE. Enjoy!

Classic Camel: yellow ochre color with a lot of golden shimmer. It needs two coats for full coverage. I have to say it – I hate this color on me! I don’t know why, maybe it doesn’t go well with my skin tone.

Emerald Fitzgerald: I always said that I don’t like green color on my nails. I take it back! This one looks beautiful on me. It’s dark bluish green color and it has frost finish.

First Class Ticket: dark purple color with blue shimmer. Lovely. Two coats for full coverage.

Goin’ My Way?: warm medium brown shade with a lot of golden shimmer. Beautiful and perfect color for autumn.

Midnight Mission: this one is stunning! It’s dark blue with tiny silver glitters mixed in it. It’s super sparkly and it’s just awesome. One of my favorites from this collection. It’s opaque with two coats.

Riveter Rouge: nice deep shimmery red shade with tiny gold glitter. Very nice and sparkly.

OPI: Russian Navy + Nfu Oh: 51

lyra — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 18:16:56 +0000

OPI Russian Navy is a dark navy blue color with blue and red shimmer. The red shimmer gives the polish a bit of purple reflection. It applies perfectly and it’s opaque in two coats.

OPI Russian Navy:

*****

I decided to do layering over the OPI Russian Navy with one coat of Nfu Oh 51. Nfu Oh 51 it’s stunning and complicated color. The base is jelly dark purple color with a lot of flakes. The flakes are mostly red, but in some angles you can also see green, blue and gold colors. It’s really unique and mesmerizing.

Nfu Oh 51 over OPI Russian Navy:

Have a nice day!! *Lyra*

Essence: Choose Me!

lyra — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 22:42:12 +0000

Essence Choose Me! is a beautiful turquoise color with green and gold shimmer. It’s a dupe of Zoya Charla and OPI Catch Me In Your Net polishes. It needs two coats for a full coverage. Keep in mind that in person it is a little more greener.

Essence Choose Me!:

The polish Choose me! is perfect for those who think that Zoya and OPI polishes are too expensive. The shade is the same (I really don’t see too much differences between them), but the price is much lower.

Finger Paints: Art Dealer Teal-er + Sinful Colors: Nail Junkie

lyra — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 19:08:01 +0000

Finger Paints Art Dealer Teal-er is greenish turquoise color. It’s a little bit frosty, but it’s not streaky. It’s very nice and a perfect shade for seaside .

I added one coat of Sinful Colors Nail Junkie. I was surprised when I found a polish with the same name as my blog. Nail junkie has blue, turquoise, gold and bronze glitter mixed in clear base. You can find two sizes of glitter in it – medium sized and a smaller one that is more like shimmer.

Have a nice time!

Essence: We Saw It First Trend Edition

lyra — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 02:45:41 +0000

Hi!

Today I have swaches of polishes, from another Essence Collection called ”We Saw It First”. There are four polishes in these collection. The formula of polishes is great, I didn’t have any problems with application. They all need two coats for full coverage. They are also well pigmented so they can be used for stamping

Absolutely Stylish: is dark brown shade with less visible green and red glitter mixed in it. Nice shade, great for autumn.

Lime Up!: perfect Shrek color. I really don’t like this shade on my nails. This one is dupe of OPI Who The Shrek Are You? I’ll never wear this polish (maybe just for Halloween if I’m Fiona )

Movie Star: Darker gray shade. This one is my favorite from the collection.

What Do You Think?: peachy coral creamy shade. This one is also nice.

I’ve done some Konading with Movie star and Konad image plate m81.

Which one is your favorite?
