Purple and yellow nail art

 Oh I've been a bit unactive both on my blog and on IG (everywhere) but here are some challenge nails for @whencolourscollide in yellow and purple. It was a fun combo and I made a gradient in purple, with a purple glitter gradient and yellow textured block and of course the smiley glitter gradient. Challenging combo but still colorful and nice. :)

Seems like I didnt photograph the bottles but it's:
Jordana - Yellow Madness
China Glaze - Blue Attitude
China Glaze - Let's Jam
Golden Rose - No 08
Color Club - Chill (the 3 glitter smileys)
Depend Matte tc

Wedding nails

Here's some wedding cake/wedding dress inspired nails I did for an IG challenge, but also my first Nail Challenge Collaborative this month with the theme; A new beginning. Loved this combo of white and holo and the chunky pearl accent. This is something I could consider doing again some time.

Polishes used:
Sally Hansen - Disco Ball
Color Club - Harp On It
Gina Tricot - White

Comparison between Colorclub's Miss Bliss and Halo-Graphic

Third holo post in a row, and this time a comparison between Miss Bliss and Halo-Graphic. Actually thought that I had showed them on their own on the blog but seems like I haven't. XD

Anyhow. As you know Color Club 2012 came out with their first Halo Hues collection with the six polishes Halo-Graphic, Cloud Nine, Harp On It, Blue Heaven, Cherubic and Angel Kiss.
2013 Color Club came out with 6 more shades for Halo Hues which included Miss Bliss, Beyond, Eternal Beauty, Over The Moon, Cosmic Fate and Kismet.

To make a simple comparison between the collections, 2013 Halo Hues seemed more colorful and perhaps 2012 Halo Hues where slightly more holographic.

My Miss Bliss and Halo-Graphic are super similar. Miss Bliss seems slightly more pink, maybe more warm toned and Halo-Graphic is less pink and more cold toned. I also remember that I imagined my self that Halo-Graphic was slightly more holographic, maybe.. But just looking at them you wouldn't know, they look very close.

Also added Over The Moon to the underside of my nails. Which just was a good idea in theory. Mostly it just look grayish blue and therefore looked like dirty metallic. This shot it looked cool though.

Thoughts? I have seen swatches where I imagine that there are bigger difference between them, are yours as similar or is it just mine?

Color Club - Kismet

More holos from the archive (prepping my NCC nails so I can post them before this month end. lol) and this time Kismet from Color Club's Halo Hues Collection 2013. I have 2 coats on (as usual for this collection) and Kismet is a slightly yellow toned pale green, which shows especially much in the sunlight and shadow shot. Anyhow, I really like this holo, sure I wish it would have been as colorful as Eternal Beauty but we can't have it all, can we? ;)
This is also my contribution to Green Wednesday. ^^

Color Club - Cherubic, swatch

A quick post between my job searching frenzy. Today I'm showing Color Club - Cherubic from their Halo Hues Collection. I'm not the most holo fanatic girl out there, but I'm SO happy that I have all 12 polishes. As all of the polishes in the collection they all are super holographic in literally all lights and the formula is awesome, they're pretty much one-coaters if you put a thick coat on, but I rather use 2 thin coats. They also stamp well. 

Cherubic is like a taupe/beige color and is as the others just awesome. Below I've written down what type of light it has been while I have been photographing. And as you can see the color slightly "change", in the flourecent light I think it's more taupe (like gray toned beige), in natural light; beige or pinkish beige, in the warm sunlight it gets a more orange beige look. Love it <3

Here you see it in natural light, shadow with no external light source, and it is still pretty holograpic. The advantage seeing it like this too is that we're able to see the base color pretty well.

Comparison: Color Club - Port-Folio vs. Miyo - Mars

I knew that they weren't dupe's, but I thought they where similar, purple base and greenish color shift. I almost didn't buy Mars, because I thought it might be too similar. But when I compared them I saw that they where miles away from each other. What can we learn from this? Well, always buy polishes ;)


My index finger and ring finger are Miyo - Mars and my middle finger and little finger are Port-Folio. The pictures says it all but Color Club - Port-folio has a warm warm purple base towards a yellow toned green when shifting. And Miyo - Mars has a cold purple base towards teal. The color shifts in Port-Folio are also more visible.

What do you think? Comparing them like this Port-Folio is much more striking than Mars, but I still like them both.

Color Club - Port-Folio, swatch

Today I'm showing Color Club - Port-Folio from the In True Fashion Collection from 2012. This polish has a warm purple base and is duochrome towards green (a green towards yellow). The effect is beautiful and I love it. It also covers in two coats. So if you haven't this and are in need of a great duochrome polish, what are you waiting for? ^^ And yea, sorry in advance for the picture spam ;)
