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.

Hi!
This polish is called Boris & Natasha and it’s from the Russian Collection (2007). Boris & Natasha is burgundy reddish purple creamy color – really nice vampy polish. The application went flawlessly and it took two coats for full coverage.
OPI Boris & Natasha:
I found the inspiration for this manicure in the autumn leafs. I stamped the leaf Konad design from the image plate m31 with Konad red, yellow and green polishes. I didn’t want to overload it, so I put it just on the ring finger and thumb.
Have a nice day!

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.

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.

Hi!
Barry M Dusky Mauve is taupe color with pink and purple shimmer. It’s gorgeous. I mean look at it! Don’t you just love it? I heard that this is a dupe of Chanel Paradoxal. Since I don’t own Paradoxal, because is way overpriced – I can’t make the comparison, but who cares? Dusky Mauve is perfect.

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.

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.

Hi!
Today I will show you a manicure that is very girly and cute . I used Manhattan 610K as a base. Then I added one layer of OPI Mad As A Hatter on the ring finger. On the other nails I stamped dot pattern from Konad image plate m79 with China Glaze OMG. I also added Essence bow stickers.
Do you like it?

I’m sure that you already saw OPI DS Extravagance a thousand times, but anyway – here is my swatch It’s gorgeous reddish purple shade with red and purple glitter. It’s not holographic madness but it’s still a little bit holo. I love it! It was very easy to apply, I really didn’t have any problems at all! On these pictures there are two coats.

Don’t you just love it?
Have a nice time! Lyra
Hello!
I can’t believe that Manhattan released an entire collection just for nails! The collection is called ”Spice Up Your Nails”. There are six different polishes (all creamy finish) in it and cool nail stickers. These are not just some boring classic colors that you can find everywhere. I have to admit – they did a god job! Well done Manhattan! The only thing missing is that they don’t have real names! I mean the numbers and letters doesn’t tell me anything. Polishes should have real names. Here is a group picture of all of them:
*****
46G: warm medium pink color with red undertone. Very pigmented, so it’s opaque in one coat! 
55K: girly light pink shade. After two coats it was still a little bit streaky but third covers all imperfections. 
77T: gorgeous royal dark blue color which is not almost black – as these types of colors usually are. This is also opaque in one coat. I really love this one.
96P: taupe with a hint of lavender. I heard that this one is dupe of Sephora By OPI Metro Chic, but I don’t have Metro Chic to make a comparison. It needs two coats for full coverage.
101S: dark gray with a hint of blue – so beautiful! And only one coat for coverage. 
610K: dark purple color. It’s not too dark, so it’s still purple. Nice! Two coats for full coverage. 
Metallic Chains Nail Stickers: metallic stickers that looks like chains. You can create modern, futuristic or edgy look. I didn’t try them out yet, maybe next time.
This is it! Do you like this collection as much as I do?
Bye! Lyra :*
Finally I had the time to swatch China Glaze Vintage Vixen. This is just a half of the collection, because I’m still waiting for the other half. I got this from Tiffani. Thank you a lot!
And here we go.
Bogie: eggplant purple shade with multi colored shimmer. It’s vampy, sparkly and it’s NOT black. Love it!
Foxy: brownish red color with orange and red shimmer. Totally perfect for autumn.
Hey Doll: pinkish brown color with red and silver shimmer. Very unique color.
Ingrid: taupe brown with golden shimmer. I really like this one.
Jitterbug: Very dark gray shade with tons of silver shimmer. This one is very sparkling!
Swing Baby: metallic champagne color with a lot of silver glitter. It has a foil look.
The application was okay, I didn’t have any bigger problems. Only two shades (Foxy and Ingrid) are a little bit runny, but manageable. With runny I mean that I was sure I didnt have too much polish on the brush, but then suddenly a big drop came out of nowhere. All of them need two coats for full coverage and they are well pigmented. The colors are perfect for autumn and I like all of them.
Have a nice time!!
