Pretty Polish Tag

I've seen a couple of people do this fun tag on YouTube and when my friend Marianne (Nailpolishsleuth) did this tag in blog form and tagged everybody, including me, I couldn't help but smile. I love tags and especially nail polish tags! This one has 10 questions, so let's get started! 1. When it comes to colors, are you conservative or hot mama? Well, I'm not conservative,...

OPI Mermaid's Tears

I was browsing around my stash, looking for a polish to paint, when I saw this beauty. I've wanted this for a long time, finally got it and never painted it on my nails. I needed to change that, so on it went! OPI Mermaid's Tears is a gorgeous dusty, seafoam green cream. It was released with the 2011 Pirates of the Caribbean collection and has sadly been discontinued, but you...

China Glaze Blue Island Iced Tea

It's supposed to be winter... in some places of the world, it's been snowing up a storm and winter has definitely shown his face, but here... nothing... It has dipped below zero a couple of times, but that's about it. I'm looking out my window right now and it's actually sunny. My parents live about 2,5 hours north of me and they did have snow. I feel a little torn about it, because...

OPI 4 in the morning

OPI is the brand know for coming up with new types of finishes.They came out with suede finish, crackle, spotted and the Liquid Sand finish first (as far as I know). Now, they have come up with yet another relatively new finish: Satin. It's a mat-but-not-quite, kind of finish. It's still a little shiny somehow and very glossy looking. OPI 4 in the Morning has this satin finish....

Essie Fiji

Being a polish hoarder sometimes means buying a polish, because it has been talked about by bloggers, youtubers and other polishlovers so much, you just want to see for yourself what all the fuss is about. For me, this is one of those polishes. I have walked past it so many times and I just didn't get it. I mean, Essie Fiji is a ridiculously pale baby pink polish and Essie is...

Zoya Blaze

This is one of my forgotten polishes. I bought this a while ago, put it in my stash and totally forgot about it! That is, untill a friend of mine send me a picture and said she really wanted this polish, because it's just gorgeous. I looked at the picture... wrinkled my forehead, deep in thought and realized I actually owned it! So of to the Helmer I went to dig it up and slap...

OPI Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ

I have a couple of polishes in my stash that I treasure for various reasons. This is one of them, not because it's a unique color, because it's not, but when I first saw swatches of this polish, I did love the color and then I heard its name... To me, this is one of the funniest names ever. Every time I hear it (or say it), I can't help but giggle a little. OPI Mrs. O'Leary's...

Ciate Twilight

This is one of those polishes that I've had in my hands so many times, but just never picked up because the swatches on internet didn't look that great to me. Or maybe that's not the right way to put it, they just looked dissapointing after looking at the polish in the bottle. But Saturday I got lucky. I was shopping with a friend and she had naked nails, so I immediatly...

Mani Monday's: Big fat foil fail

Happy Monday everybody! Did you all have a great weekend? Today's theme is foil and I had no clue what to do with this theme. I don't own any nice foil finish polishes and I don't own any nail foils. So I took to the internet and discovered that you can actually do a nice mani with aluminum foil. I saw gorgeous pictures of smooth, mirror like mani's and decided to give it a...

OPI Malaga Wine

Today I have a classic polish for you. This has been available for a while, but I never picked it up, untill just a few weeks ago. I don't understand why, because it's a red polish and we all know my obsession with red nails, lol. OPI Malaga Wine is a deep, sultry maroon red and I absolutely love it! There is something about this cream polish that makes it just so sophisticated....
