NYC - Big City Dazzle

I had swatches NYC Fashion Ave Fuschia earlier. I was really pleased with the formula, the drying time and the color... So I asked for Big City Dazzle for our swap from lovely Krystan...

Anyway, I put on two coats of NYC Fashion Ave Fuschia over Seche Plus base coat. As I mentioned before, the drying time was really short.

And then I put on a coat of Big City Dazzle. The glitter looked so dense in the bottle, I expected the first coat to be that dense. But first coat was really thin. So I did a second coat... Thank God that the drying time was short. Because the second coat did not meet my expectations, so I went ahead and did a third coat... :)

It looked shiny and pretty, but I think I should try it over another color, again... :)

Nail Mail from USA

Wow, this post has been sitting in my drafts folder for a long time and I never noticed... Shame on you Blogger!!!

Here's another swap package I got from the lovely Krystan. She was nice enough to get me these shiny babies and I sent her the whole Essence Snow White LE collection... :)

Here's what she got me...


Jordana Glitters LA City Lights, NYC Big City Dazzle, Orly Fowl Play Mini, Nail Tek II. It will be my first Jordana to try... Look at the shine of the three polishes... Wow!

And the mighty Kleancolors I've been lemming for so long....

Chunky Holo Black (finally mine!), Black Out, BLue Eyed Girl and Holo Chrome... LOL!!!

Thank you again Krystan. I hope you enjoy your polishes, too...

GOSH Holographic Hero

I had promised to Marianne from Rainbowify Me that when I got my swap package, I would swatch the Gosh Holographic Hero first...

Here is the awsome bottle... The holographic effect is clearly seen on the bottle. (well, maybe not in this picture)

First impression; this polish is well pigmented. I thought of using it over a layer of silver first, but when I saw on a false nail that the polish has a nice coverage, I gave up. I had Seche Plus base coat and the fisrt coat of Gosh went smooth, just a few bald spots.

Oh my God! This polish dries fast! Real fast! Like when I finished the first coat, it was already dry! I didn't have to wait at all...

Anyway, I started putting on the second coat. But I don't know if it was the formula or the base coat I used, but there remained some bald spots... :( Well, no big deal, the polish was holo enough... :) Look at that shine!!!!

It was a sunny day in Istanbul, so I did what I had to do... Use sunglasess!!! LOL... Stamped with Essence Black is Back with the Cheeky CH37...

Early Christmas - a.k.a Nail Mail :)

It was our third swap with the lovely Marianne from Rainbowify Me... We were waiting for our packages to arrive... It had been only 6 days, so I was not expecting anything yet...

And then, the doorbell rang... It was our lovey postman, carrying a big bubble envelope... Totally made my day! I ripped open the envelope... And came the goodies... Suddenly, it was Christmas in November... LOL... Sweet November...

I ripped the bubble wrap one by one... They were so neatly packed... And, sorry, I wasn't thinking straight at that time, so I didn't take any photos of the process... With every bubble wrap opened, there was a long sigh...

Long story short, thank you Marianne... It was a pleasure swapping with you again. Cannot wait for the next time. I hope you like your babies, too....


Here's what I got!!!


Let's start with the candy and the duck shaped pretty lipgloss that I never had a chance to try, because some little witch took it from me... :) I got to keep the face mask and the parfume though...

I had mentioned how I loved Catrice polishes. So this time, we decided I get more of those... Here are Steel My Heart, London's Weather Forecast, George Blueney... (I loved the name... )

With more Catrice; Oh My Goldness, Cooper Cabana and Gold Leaf Top Coat LE... I was really excited about this one but this is mostly gold hexagonal glitter. But I still love it, because they say it looks like Million Dollar Baby, which I don't have. So, that's a win... :)

From the Essence Twilight Collection, A Piece of Forever and Edward's Love... I also laid my eyes on Alice Had a Vision Again... Maybe next time... :)

The Peel Off Base Coat from Essence, was one thing I wanted to try. And also Better Than Gel Nails TopCoat...

Here's the star of the show, Gosh Holographic Hero!!!

And last but not least, Barry M Copper and Essence Holo Topping Please...

So, what do you say? Isn't it Christmas already????
