I’m wearing Turquoise & Caicos currently; this is a tad darker (and less pastel) than my favourite Mint Candy Apple, anyway, I like this so much! This is not the actual mani… I swatch...
Another one of the Anselm Reyle varnishes. Ultra Violet is gorgeous! It’s a bright crème purple. I’m pretty busy these days, so let’s proceed to the swatches… Bright sunlight,...
Chanel Django. This is one of the varnishes I bought on the island Malta and, at first, I wasn’t really convinced of its shade, although I knew I needed it. I saw this often at Newcastle Airpor...
Quite recently, I fell in love with Azur, which had been in my collection for about a year, untouched. Shown over Blue Rebel in the linked post, here it is over Coco Blue. Coco Blue has a shimmer on ...
Holiday. Again – such a beautiful, happy shade. And orange! Outside, the sun is shining and Holiday is the perfect match. Two coats. Bäri fell for it, too, and I also like the matching Calypso ...
Black Polka Dot has been my first Nubar nail varnish; I liked the idea of black glitter in various shapes and sizes in a clear jelly base. Here it is over Nubar Kiwi. I thought they’d make a ni...
I’m into greens these days – with the weather becoming sunny again and vivid green shades reminding me of the summer. Viva la Green is a bright jade green. Three coats – because it ...
Azur is a great shade, it’s got a light blue and pretty sheer base, and it is packed with glitter. I love this over Blue Rebel! Annete, another Chanel collector and such a lovely girl in genera...
One of my favourite vintage Dior varnishes. Vert Chrome (Chrome Green) is a dark forst green containing glitter particles. It’s quite an unusual colour. In the bottle. This did not apply nicely...
Mint Candy Apple is my personal Lucky Varnish, since it helped me landing a job yesterday. By accident! Of course, it didn’t have anything to do with the varnish itself, but I had just applied ...
Bikini is so beautiful! It’s part of this year’s Summer Collection, Croisette, and I would describe it as a muted coral with a slight proportion of orange. Two coats. Bikini applies like ...
Pulsion is a bright pink, which makes it perfect for sunny days and tanned skin. However, this actually came out as part of the Holiday Collection in 2010. I found this in Malta in January, on our la...
Frisson is the shade that is currently on my nails; it was meant to travel with me to meet a lovely (or crazy? ) bunch of other Chanel varnish collectors… however, I had to stay at home but any...
I’m currently wearing Electric, which is another of my older Chanel varnishes. The shade is a tomato red containing a subtle golden shimmer. Since we had a bit of sunshine during the past few d...
Here’s a small mint green collection (although Nouvelle Vague has a greater proportion of blue, it’s not really mint green, though), just for comparison. Essie Mint Candy Apple – Es...
Ooh, this must be a very old one… have never seen this on eBay again after I had won the auction last year. Lumière Noire aka Night Glow has a pale blue base and is packed with glitter particle...
Another Chanel; Cassis is a wonderful magenta shade, it’s a bit jelly-ish and quite bright after application. Three coats. This will be perfect for the summer. Looks so yummy!
Enthusiast is a red crème with a hint of orange. Found this on eBay a while ago (last year, I guess). I love reds, and this is a very beautiful one. Coverage is great, this is two coats. Swatches are...
Catherine the Grape (quite funny name ) was released with the Russian Collection in fall 2007; it’s a purple containing a visible shimmer. Two coats. I like this! Great formula, by the way.
This is from last year’s summer collection, but I have not been trying it until a couple of weeks ago. I thought pink with golden microglitter would look strange on me. Although in the bottle a...
Princess Sabra is one of my favourite shades from A England’s new collection, The Legend. It’s a pale golden olive green, I’d say, containing a beautiful holographic effect. Tristam...
I’d been after this for ages and even asked my husband – when he spent some days in Paris in November – to visit the Dior boutique at Avenue Montaigne and ask for Silver Lake. Howev...
From their Fruity limited edition, this looks so yummy! Kiwi green with turquoise glitter particles. One Kiwi A Day needs three (thin) coats to look opaque but it’s worth the effort. For these ...
Electric Blue was last weekend’s choice, this is another shade from the Anselm Reyle Collection, which was released as a limited edition in January. This is a very bright blue. Two coats. Taken...
Found this on Elena’s Blog, Pictured Tinsel, a while ago and needed to have it, since it’s purple, or, to be more precise, Velvet Rope is a metallic purple with silver micro glitter. Show...
It’s lavender again, as well as a vintage Dior varnish, Bleu Lavande (Lavender Blue). This one’s pretty blue-ish. Sorry, only one picture… this was a bit hard to capture. Two coats....
Another lilac/lavender shade! A Lovely Secret lives up to its name, since it is packed with small flakies. Two coats. My little one loves this, too. I’m very much looking forward to today’...
… and welcoming a new category: RBL varnishes. So far, I’ve only got two of them but let me say, they are amazing! Quality, choice of colours, bottle design, simply everything. Here is Pi...
I’ve still got loads of older pics, these too, are from last year, I did a mani with Fancy Pants by Kae aka The Hungry Asian, who describes this gorgeous shade as a “raspberry shimmer wit...
Another vintage polish and an older swatch as well… Indian Red (Rouge Mysore) is a bright red with a crème finish. Photos were taken in November 2011, ages ago. I did two coats. I can definitey...
