I had a lot of trouble with capturing the realistic colors. But the sun helped with some shades this time, so I didn’t have to adjust the colors in PS, because I really hate that. Here is a picture with all six new shades in bottles:

*****

Talent Scout: nice cold toned grape purple shade. Very pigmented, so one coat is enough. The first second I saw it, it reminded me of China Glaze Grape Pop so I made a comparison. As you can see on the photo, Grape Pop is one shade darker than The Talent Scout. They are not dupes, but they are very close.

 

Ditch The Heels: I truly don’t know how to describe this color. It’s definitely green. I will go with medium pastel green. This is two coats.

 

Fun Fair: nice pastel bubble gum pink. It’s opaque with two coats.

 

Main Stage: medium berry color. This one looks exactly the same like Essence Very Berry. This is just one coat!

 

Headliner: dirty medium blue with little green undertone, but the green can’t be seen under all lights. It needs two coats for full coverage.

 

Access All Areas: This is very tricky color. The first photo of this polish looks like neon orange. It’s actually bright medium peachy color with orange and pink undertone. This one is so unique. It also needs two coats for full coverage.

 

Half of this collection is nothing special. It doesn’t have any new colors that we haven’t already seen, but the other half is quite unique. Ditch The Heels, Headliner and Access All Areas are the shades that you must have. The formula is also great. I have to give credit to Ciate for improving their formula of polishes, because they are not thick and sticky anymore so the application of the new shades was great. Bravo!

This is all for today :)

See you soon, Lyra *

I was looking at her and thinking how cute she is <3
Then I looked at her little fingers and her tiny nails …
Wouldn’t it be funny if I painted them with some nice polish? :D

Look at them? Aren’t they cute? :)

Ofcourse she is too young to have her nails done, but some day, I’m sure she’ll be walking around with very pretty manicure like her mommy ;)

She gives me inspiration for todays mani. I was thinking colorful, sweet and happy :D
So I painted each nail in a diferent color.

The China Glaze Up&Away colection is just perfect for this. There are lots of diferent pastel colors. So I use four polishes from that collection:

Re-Fresh Mint: is the pastel minty color, more green than blue
Lemon Fizz: pastel bright yellow
Something Sweet: pastel light pink, verry girly
Light As Air: pastel light violet, with a hint of grey
The polish on the thumb is Essie-Van D’Go, my favourite from spring 2010 :)

 

One of you will get three of these polishes in my Giveaway so check it out! ;)
There are also verry similar pink and violet polishes in the Giveaway :)

kolekcije: Click!
Danes sem dobila še preostala dva: Van D’Go in Neo-Whimsical

Van D’Go: mlečni breskov-roza oddtenek z creamy finishem. Za
prekrivnost potrebuje dve plasti, Nanaša se prekrasno, kot vsi laki
iz te kolekcije.

 

Neo-Whimsical: Mlečno roza oddtenek z pridihom vijolične. Lepotec!
Barva je odvisna od svetlobe, na nekateri izgleda bolj vijoličen,
na drugih pa bolj roza. Barva me spominja na borovničev jogurt :)
Nanos je prav tako super, nanesla pa sem tri sloje laka.

Essie me z to pomladno kolekcijo res ni razočaral :)
