OPI: Show It And Glow It!

lyra — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 00:03:31 +0000

Here is another gorgeous polish from the OPI Burlesque collection. It’s called Show It And Glow It! The glitter is mostly purple but it contains some silver, blue and orange as well. This one is also extremely sparkly and it needs three coats for full coverage.

P.s.: I’m preparing a giveaway for my blog Nail Junkie’s first birthday! And this polish is included

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!

Essence: Fairytale Trend Edition

lyra — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 16:12:59 +0000

Hi everyone!

The new trend edition from Essence is on the horizon! It will be available on the shelves from December 2010 and it’s called Fairytale. As you can imagine this collection sparkles a lot In the collection there are as usual the nail polishes, eye shadows, lip glosses and eyeliners. I made some swaches of polishes, lip glosses and eyeliners I have to say that I really like the design on the packaging – fairies, butterflies and flowers.

******

POLISHES: there are six polishes in this collection. Polishes are sparkling and they have shimmery foil-like finish. When I saw the promo picture I wasn’t exited about any shade. They just didn’t seem special but when I tried them on, I liked at least three of them. The formula is ok, I didn’t have any problems with application.

Fairy Berry: is a warm toned purple color with a lot of silver shimmer, which gives the polish that foil finish. Two coats are needed for full coverage. On the index finger is Essence Bubble Bubble from Into The Ocean TE.

Humpty Dumpty: this one is one of my favorites. It’s gray color with splash of purple and with loads of silver shimmer. I love it! It takes two coats for full coverage.

Once Upon A Time: this one is the only one that doesn’t have a foil-like finish. It’s medium red jelly base with red and gold glitter that give the polish a lot of depth. It’s similar to China Glaze Ruby Pumps but it’s not a dupe. It’s opaque in two coats.

Pixie Dust: nude color with hint of pink and a lot of silver shimmer. It’s nice, subtle polish which is opaque in three coats.

Tinka’s Dress: peachy orange color with silver shimmer. Another nice and soft shade which is opaque in three coats.

Welcome To The Wonderland: is a light lavender color with a lot of silver shimmer. I like this one on my nails. Needs three coats for full coverage.

******

LIP GLOSSES: there are three lip glosses in Fairytale collection.
Fairy berry: light purple base with purple shimmer
Once Upon a time: red jelly color
Pixie Dust: clear base with multicolor shimmer

Another ice cream from Barry M This one is Strawberry Ice Cream. It’s pastel pink color opaque with two coats.

Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream:

I did some nail art with NYX Ink Nail Art polishes. I used white, black and pearl pink color. To bling it up a little bit, I added a rhinestone on the ring finger.

Barry M: Berry Ice Cream + Konad

lyra — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 21:59:24 +0000

Barry M Berry Ice Cream is creamy lilac color with splash of pink. I like how color changes on different lightings. In the sun it is almost completely pink. The pictures show a two-coat application.

Barry M Berry Ice Cream:

I added the Konad flower pattern from image plate m80 with the Color Club Wild at Heart.

Have a nice time! Lyra*

Barry M: Raspberry + Nfu Oh: 39

lyra — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 04:17:42 +0000

Hi everyone!

Barry M Raspberry is nice juicy raspberry color with creamy finish. It’s well pigmented and if you are carefully enough you can pass it with just one coat for full coverage.

Barry M Raspberry:

I just had to put something over Raspberry . I wasn’t in the mood for Konading, so I chose Nfu Oh 39 for layering. Nfu Oh 39 in the bottle reminds me of fresh lemonade. There are yellow flakes with bluish reflection from different angles in a transparent base. It looks really nice on a darker polish.

Nfu Oh 39 layered over Barry M Raspbery:

Have a nice time!

Barry M: Baby Pink + Konad

lyra — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 23:44:11 +0000

Barry M Baby Pink polish is light cream pink color. It gives very nice, soft and girly look. It’s opaque in two coats. I have to tell you, that I’m really impressed with how easy the Barry M polishes apply to the nails. The second thing I like is how they dry in high glossy look – as if the top coat was already on.

Barry M Baby Pink:

I decided to do a funky pattern with Konad. I used Essence Black Stampy polish for konading and Konad image plate m57. I took dotting tool and added some dots in leopard pattern with China Glaze For Audrey and Lemon Fizz polishes.

Bye! Lyra*

OPI DS: Jewel

lyra — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 14:15:21 +0000

OPI DS Jewel disappointed me a little bit. It looks gorgeous in the bottle, but not on the nails. It’s nice but it’s not something I would add to the Designer Series. It’s caramel base with bronze and pink shimmer. There’s no sight of holo effect in it. The formula is awful! It’s watery, runny and very sheer. It took three coats to achieve good coverage, but keep in mind that the third layer was thicker than the others.
