Swatch: My ILNP fall picks

Hi girls. As I think many of you where I was totally in love when I saw the first pictures of the fall collection from ILNP in August, so I bough three of the shades:

"Black Orchid", "Champagne Blush" and "Iconic".

I am a little torn about these in real life as I think they look very different from some of the prettiest pictures I saw back when I bough them. That I will get back into in the review of each polish.

Combo: Essie Hide & Go Chic with glitter

Hello again ladies

Today I have Essie "Hide & Go Chic" for you.
It is a great polish with full coverage after two coats and its a little different than your true blue color as it is a little teal in tone. My hands looks a little less pale with this kind of blue shade and that's why I was attracted to it.

I totally forgot to take a photo of it by itself though. I chose to put my lovely (and discontinued - I'm a horrible person!) Oopsie Daisies "Festivus for the Rest of Us" on top.

Perfume: Yves Rocher Purple Lilacs

Hi girls

I have heard about the brand Yves Rocher before but never tried it as it is not sold in stores in Denmark that I know of. Last weekend they gave 30% off orders and I went and bought some stuff, mainly because of this Lilac perfume.

Lilacs are some of my favorite flowers, they both looks and smells fantastic to me. I was so afraid that this would disappoint me but luckily it didn't. It smells s little strong compared to the flowers which makes sence because the flowers smell is so subtle, but besides that they really got the smell i think, I can even smell the honey I used to such out of the flowers and eat as a child.

Ohh memories <3

It is a very fresh flower scent and if you know how lilacs smell they can be a little soapy and so can this perfume smell, but not to strong (I usually don't like soapy perfumes)

Now it can be spring all year around on my skin :P

Here is a direct link to the perfume on the danish Yves Rocher site.

Zoya Skylar, roses and dots

Zoya "Skylar" is an amazing polish. I really like that effect and I also own both OPI "Don't Give a Rotterdamn" and OPI "I Have A Herring Problem" that are very close to this, but I had to experience for myself if these where to close or I did need all of them. The answer is that I did need them all as Skylar is much more blue compared to the more grey OPI shades.

If you got one of them you already know that the coverage is the only downside with these polishes as they are just as bad and needs 3-5 coats of polish. I didn't wanted to put that many coats so I just did two coats over Sally Hansen "Gray By Gray" (sadly this is discontinued) which have great coverage and is almost a one coater.

Then I added some dots and roses to make it a little more girly and fresh :)

Swatch Wednesday: ILNP Dreaming in Violet

I know I know... I have showed this polish before, but as I shifted from using my phone camera to a real camera the pictures got so much better that I had to give this another try on the blog.

 

The first time I showed it was in this blogpost

Then I described it like this:

"Dreaming in violet" - Is a veeery pretty mauvish purple holographic polish with a purple micro glitter. The linear holo is stronger and therefore the micro glitter is not that visible as in "Cutie Pop". That's a shame I think, but I love it anyway and it is my fave of this nail mail. Depending on how much you want this to cover you need two-three coats for this.

Here is the fantastic photos :D :

Fancy Friday: Inspired by Fall

The weather here in denmark is so great right now that inspired by fall is the last thing I am XD
But it's the theme for today and I got to try to do something fall-ish.

I had no ideas other than colors I wanted to use so I decided to do a dry brush mani again as I love it so much last time. You can see the first try here.

Again I love the technique because it is so different, it can be so much and it is so easy.

Here is the outcome:

Swatch: L.A. Girl "Ruby Sparkle"

Hi girls

Today I want to show a polish I have shown before, but now it gets it's own blogpost. It is L.A.Girl "Ruby Sparkle", a perfect scattered red holo. I think red is very appropriate for autumn and besides this polish does not show up as good in the dim winter light, so you need to get this for the fall and see it's beauty.

I don't want to blabber about, so I will tell you that this polish only needs two coats for perfection, is great for stamping and... the rest the pictures will tell you :)

Fancy Friday: Decorated Edges

Hi girls, we start with a little update

This was the end of the second week at my new education. it has been amazing so far, but I feel a little pressure as i don't have that much time to blog. I think some changes will happen, maybe I will blog twice a week instead of three times. Well see.

Today i don't want to list all the polishes I used, but mention the base color:
Essie "Sweet Talker" is a pretty light blue polish with a deeper blue shine to it. It needs two coats and is amazing but I think it is a little harder to find these days sadly.

The outcome for today is this:

My neighbour

Just a quick post about something lovely I experience much in the autumn.

In a tree in my garden there lives a little squirrel. He is so cute - or of cause I don't know if it's the same squirrel or a whole family I see, but they have been there since I moved here two years ago.

 

I love nature and animals so this is a ideal living situation for me (exept the room is to small and my boyfriend cant live here too - and that i miss a little kitty)

Love and sweets

Link to a Guest Post with the Leadlight Technique

Hi ladies

For some time ago I saw that the danish blogger BlogAboutMia searched for guest bloggers and I did a little something for her blog. I totally forgot to share... I have seen it up on the net but I was a little stressed at the time. Now that I have time to relax it popped up in my mind. Better late than never I hope:)

The blogpost is HERE
and here is a picture, of cause there is a lot more if you follow the link

Fancy Friday: Dry Brush Nail Design

Hi girls, another friday is here and another Fancy Friday post is as well.
I have wanted to try this technique out for some time, I new it would be quite easy as I have studied the procedure before, but I chose to wait for Fancy Friday as I knew that theme would come up.
I was not disappointed. I though it was very easy, quick to do and quick to fix if you messed up a bit.
It can look very rough because of the technique - therefore I chose to work with pinks and other summery colors. I am not letting go of summer yet as August practically was autumn and the sun and hot weather has returned to little Denmark here in September. That needs to be celebrated with summery nails!

Here is the first picture of the outcome:

Swatch Wednesday: New Hare polishes

I have to new Hare polishes to my collection swatched in this blog post. I saw in may that Hare polish on ETSY had restocked and had to buy some.

I bought: "Hidden Treasure in a Bowl of Roses" and "Love You To Pieces"

*This blogpost is extremely picture heavy as the polishes have so many sides to them + I also show each polish matte.*

Sailor Stamp Nail Design

Hi girls

I've wanted to try this stamp from MoYou London ever since I bought this plate, and yes I am definetly stupid that I didn't do it sooner as I have owned the plate for about a year:P But better late than never and I am happy that I tried it out.
The plate I am talking about is Moyou Londons Sailor 05 XL plate
