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...

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... :)

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...

LS01, a pale lilac

LS02, pale blue

LS05, pale mint green

LS06, pale peach

Yes, pale is the secret word... PALE!!!!

Oh, and the formula is usual Flormar, drying time normal standarts... But PALE!!!!!

Avon Speed Dry - Suddenly Sunny

Recently, I bought myself a few of the Avon Speed Dry polishes. These series are said to dry in 30 seconds. Well, I tried and they last a little longer then 30 seconds to dry, but hey, who's counting... :)

Anyway, those following me for a while should already know that I'm not a fan of yellow polish. But when I saw the new pretty colors from Avon, I bought this yellow, because sometimes you need yellow, right?

Well, there is a reason why I hate yellow polish. All the yellow polishes I've tried so far are streaky... Not only the first coat, but also the second coat. Streaky! And no matter how hard I try, they always end up uneven. And this polish was not different. I don't know if it is the pigmentation or the formula... Grrr...

I stamped with Konad Special Black and the BM304 plate... At least this smileys cheered up my horrible yellow mani... :(
