Kleancolor - Sweet Pea, swatch

Sweet Pea is a pale green going towards yellow, kinda green jelly filled with silver glassflecks. Below is 4 coats but that looked the same as 3 coats, so still some VNL.. I'd recommend this for layering because it's very slow drying. It's not a super favorite of mine, glass-flecks isn't a favorite finish for me, especially if the glass-flecks are silver toned like here, it reminds me of foil except that it wont cover ;) However I like it more in the photos than IRL, the pictures remind me of the popsicle; Piggelin. For more green nails, check out Green Wednesday.

What do you think about this polish? Something you would buy? If you happen to like this it seems to be more colors in the same collection. :)

Pink panda funky french nail art

It has been quiet around here, and maybe it will continue like that because I'll soon start work full time and I'll guess it will take some time to get things organized so I can get my blog routine back on track. :)

Today I'm showing country no 22 in the Where-In-The-World-Challenge which is China. My choice was simple, I like pandas and pandas also happens to be the national animal of China..so I did a pink version of my green version which you must have seen in my profile picture by now. ;) First I painted the pink and then the panda on top. :D Hope you like it.

FACE it - Lovely Pop, swatch

Today it's Monday, but it still feels like Sunday..I just bought the largest bag of candy (didn't find any chocolate bunny). Monday, here in the Swedish nail-blogosphere is Blue Monday and my contribution is maybe a bit questionable. First I started with a blue base and did some subtle sponging. The nail art is blue indeed but the polish I want to talk about is the unusual topper.

Lovely Pop is from the Colored Paper Nails Collection from FACE it. I think it's a Korean brand and I bought it for  US $4.99 which is about 32SEK from an ebay seller called f2plus1. Lovely Pop mainly consists of matte white glitter in in the shape of hexagons, square and star shaped glitter and white string glitter, it also has some few matte red square shaped glitter, blue hexagons and heart shaped glitter in yellow and pink(or red?). I find the combination weird but fun and also unique in my collection. I believe this was 2 coats and the polish was easy to apply.

Polishes used:
China Glaze - Bahamian Blue
Kleancolor - Pastel Blue
FACE it - Lovely Pop

What do you think about the polish? Do you have any base color proposals for me? I'm thinking about trying black the next time. ;)

Easter bunny pastel funky french

It's Nail Art Sunday and still some Easter vibes left. Feels like I've eaten way too little chocolate and candy for it to count. I usually try to buy some large chocolate bunny to eat but no one this year. At least I had some bunnies on my nails. This design I actually saw when googeling and decided to recreate it, check out original photo HERE.

I painted my nails with a jelly beige and then painted thin lines with pastel polishes to hide the almost naked nail. And bunnies on accent nails. I liked this design and did it in both shiny and matte. Hope you'll like it too because now I have one of those picture spams again ;)

And matte version:

HM Matte Top Coat

Did you prefer the shiny or matte version? What do you think about seeing matte and shiny in the same post, do you like it or is it too many pictures? Some times I've divided it into one matte post and one shiny post, is that a better option? :) What do you think?

Easter egg nail art

I thought easter was next week but apparently it is now and I've done an appropriate but simple nail art. As you see it's cracked easter eggs and my eggs has gradients. I really like the pastel purple combined with the teal polish and the black glitter. I think that gradient and color combo could be useful for other, non-easter occasions too. Hope you like it. :)

A England - Dragon, swatch

It's Friday and I figured that I could join Holo Friday with the first A England polish I bought; Dragon. It looked so lovely on swatches. Now it sounds like I bought it recently but it is more than a year ago I bought it, maybe turning into two years now. And it has just been laying in my Helmer drawer, waiting..you see, it looks a bit boring in the bottle..The moss green color isn't boring but I didn't see any holo.

Now I've finally got around wearing it and it looks much more holographic on the nails than in the bottle. However it's a very scattered holo, no lines of the rainbow spectra. Anyhow, below is two of the most easy coats ever, the formula is like butter. As I said the color is moss green and the polish has many faces. In the bottle there is some golden duochrome tendencies but that doesn't transcribe onto the nails, even though I guess the warmness in the color come from that. In clouded shadow the holo looks gray (as holo always do when there's no light to reflect in it) and the green feels cold. All in all it's a beautiful color.

Do you like A England in general, or maybe you even have Dragon? What is your oldest untried in your collection?

Origami crane nail art

Hi, I'm in the mood for more from the WITW-challenge. Country no 21 is Japan and I decided be inspired by origami. And I did an origami crane nail art flying in the air. I'm very content with the result and it was actually easier to freehand than I first thought.Too bad many of my pictures ended up blurry so I only have a few pictures to show.

Polishes used:
Kleancolor - Neon Aqua
ZTIZ nail polish (red) Yup, did an accent nail with the japanese flag but it ended up way too blurry to be seen. sorry ;)
