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

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.

I also took more photos of the Galaxy Girl.
Have a nice day!

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

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

Finally I got it!
Alessandro magnetic polish Go Magic! Twist in Wild Purple shade. These polishes are very pigmented and they contains metallic particles, so you have to shake them well before use. After applying the polish you hold the magnet (which comes with the polish) above the still wet polish for about 3-7 seconds – and voila! The magnet pulls the metallic particles together and creates a stripe pattern.
The base color of Wild Purple is dark reddish purple with shimmer. When you do the pattern with the magnet the manicure looks gorgeous! I’ll let the pictures talk for themselves.
This is my first magnetic polish and I’m impressed with the effect. I love it!
