Nail Mail from Portugal!!!

I had just gotten out of the shower when the doorbell rang... It was our lovely post(wo)man, carrying a package for me all the way from Portugal!!!

I am really into textured polish trend and I've been wanting some of the Kiko Sugarmats for a long time. That's when the lovely Cristina from The Clockwise Nail Polish came to rescue... She offered to send me the Kikos I've been lemming. She's an amazing lady, a very talented one actually. Her blog is full of super cool ideas and great nail art. :)

Anyway, I ripped the envelope open to find these...

Yeah baby, that's right! All of them!!!

The polishes!!! OMG, my first Kikos!!!!

Kiko 339 and 336, gorgeous blues!!!!!

SugarMats baby!!! Kiko 640, 642, 644, 645 and 646... Don't they look gorgeous????

I just hope the texture trend is here for a while. I have so many gorgeous textures to try!!!!

And my first Yes Love polishes... I've been seeing them on The Clockwise Nail Polish for some time and I really liked the colors. And now I get to try them!!! Yay!!! I really loved the bottles, they are soooo cute! Anyway, these are K039, K028 and K034...

Another brand I've been meaning to try... Cliche... This is the loveliest blue ever. It is called Topazio...

Yummy choclate!!!!

Nougat bars! I really loved this one. I ate one immediately and they taste so good!

And this is the stuff I don't get to taste... :) That's right, these were taken by my daughter! LOL

Anyway, this was a great package. Thank you again Cristina, you really sent the lovliest colors!!!!

Now the big question, which one should I try first?

Nordic Cap of Sweden 20

Today I'm wearing the Nordic Cap polish Malin has sent me. I have never tried this brand before... Here are my impressions...

First of all, the rectangle bottle is cute... It looks like Golden Rose Rich Color bottles. Easy to stock... LOL

The brush is neither too thick nor too thin. Just the right size for my nails. The formula looks runny, but actually it isn't. It doesn't flood the cuticles and it is really easy to handle. Almost opaque in one coat but I used two coats anyway... :)

The drying time is short. You get an totally even look with two coats...

Oh, and the color is to die for! It is a lovely shade of green, almost teal...

You know, I have 3 more polishes from Nordic Cap. I guess I'll love them as well... :)

Anyway, here's the mani of the day...

Daylight

Indoors with flash

For the accent nail, I used two coats of China Glaze Angel Wings. It has the perfect holo look... :) For the middle finger, I used the cute bow from Cheeky Ch01 plate and stamped it with Essie Good As Gold. And topped them all with a coat of SV...

And that's my mani a-la-Cristina... :) She did a similar one the other day that I absolutely loved... :)

Wellnails - Drunken Nights at MacLaren's...

Remember Marianne from Rainbowify Me has sent me a gorgeous indie? From a Denmark indie brand called Wellnails? Well, today I have that polish on my nails....

It is called Drunken Nights at MacLaren's and it is a gorgeous green glitter of various shapes in a clear base. The most obvious glitter is the green cresent glitter that I love!!!!

I have two coats of DNaML over a black base, as worn by the producer... :)

The bottle is packed with glitter, so you don't have to fish some out. However, looking at her pictures, I think I should have placed them a little better... Well, next time... :)

Zoya Pixie Dust - Chyna

Well well well, look who is here... The beloved Pixie Dust sister, Chyna!!!

What a gorgeous color! Let me tell you, photos don't do this beauty any justice!!!! It is so much beautiful in real life!

I always feel weird wearing red, but this one is soooo gorgeous, I couldn't help but stare my nails all day....

There's nothing much to say, so I'll leave you alone with my pictures...

Flormar Light Summer Collection

Remember the other day I was writing about Flormar's new Summer Collection and how they dissapointed me? Well, here's that collection... Part of it... :)

From Left To Right : LS01, LS02, LS05, LS08 and LS06

There are 10 polishes in the Light Summer Collection. I bought only 5 of them. They look so cute and yummy in the bottles... In fact, they are really sheer polishes with hidden shimmer in them. So sheer that you need at least 3 coats to get the color of the bottle, yet you still have VNL.

For the pictures below, you have 3 coats, no base or topcoat...
