R de L Young - Chocolicious, swatch

Hi, also wanted to show you the base I used for my Chocolate nail art I showed you last time. I decided to use R de L Young - Chocolicious which is a perfect milk chocolate color. Formula and application is perfect, 2 simple coats. I don't think these photos makes it justice though, it was getting darker and colder (so my hands feel reddish) but just think milk chocolate and you got it! ;)

Bought in Rossman, in Germany on sale. 0,99 euro! Bargain! :D

Freehand chocolate nails

The theme for Nail Challenge Collaborative this month is Candy&Sweets and I started off with my favorite candy, which is chocolate!

I started with the middle tone brown first and then I freehanded the darker brown and the white shine. And went matte with it. Really happy with these! :D

Polishes used:
R de L Young - Chocolicious
R de L Young - White
Sure Promise (brown)

Catrice - Polaroid Promises, swatch

Polaroid Promises is from Catrice's Luxary Vintage collection and it has a satin matte effect finish from the start. The color is nougat warm beige brown with bright magenta shimmer which gives a romantic feel when it's matte. Application wise this one is tricky, you need plenty of polish on
the brush (which thankfully isn't Catrices regular brush, which I don't like) because otherwise it looks streaky because it get surface dry very fast. With topcoat it feels like a whole other polish, it's darker, looks brown and where the shine hits, it looks pink, almost like a duochrome but still not. It needed 2 coats to cover.

No top coat and natural light.

Bought at Rossman for about 2 euros.

What do you think about this one? Nougat feel or just meh?

P2 - Toffee Time, swatch

This is the black sheep in the collection, I assume more pinks will be sold than brown at least. ;) But it do feel super unusual and not even KIKO had a brown like this. And I just had to have it.. it's too weird to miss out on, at least for me.

The base color is a light (but not necessarily pastel) and cold toned brown, like mud and more like the color taupe (purple undertones) than chocolate brown. The others from the Crisp Color collection also feel like they're mixed with "white" and they're crelly like while Toffee Time is more jelly. In this one the shredded particles is red and that dark brown. Surprisingly this was much thinner than the other in the collection. Most of them have been quite thin on the first coat, but because of the texture, the second coat has filled them up perfectly. However here I needed 3 coats and therefore this probably is slightly more slow drying. I actually don't think it's that ugly, it feels unusual and is definitely unique in my stash. 

2.45 euro at DM.

So people, what do you think about this? Is this cool mud or is it poo? Does this makes your face wrinkle in horror like Mrs Data described some previous textures or do you find it interesting?

Smitten Polish - Bluebird II, swatch

A color combo I really like is brown and combined with a color, and Bluebird II from Smitten Polish is that, a brown crelly with blue/teal/green colored glitter in two hexagon sizes. Below is 3 coats.

Flourecent light.

Since I bought this long time ago, this is from the previous etsystore, but nowdays Smitten Polish has a big cartel site. :)

Claudia - 604, swatch (brown)

A quick swatch for today. This is Claudia - 604 and at first I wasn't in the mood of buying it, it looked too pink, almost like a pink nougat color and I was looking for something more chocolate like. But for 10SEK (about 1€/£0,9/$1,4) it's worth to try.

And this time it payed off, it dried both to a darker and colder shade and it do look chocolaty! Like the perfect milk chocolate shade. This is a creme and below is two coats and application was good. If you stumble upon these I recommend them!

Do you like wearing brown shades on your nails?

Smitten Polish - Chocolate Bunny Soup

Hi, today I'm showing such a fun and happy nail polish! I just knew that I needed this, I mean it's called Chocolate... :D Additionally I don't have anything looking even close to similar to it.

As I knew when I ordered it, it's a jelly and therefore sheer and I used 5 coats. The color of the jelly is basically chocolate brown and there's some round glitter in pink, blue and yellow. The formula is a bit tricky but now unmanageable. The fun thing is that this really looks like chocolate, I can SO understand the name of the polish(!) and also the formula reminded me of how chocolate acts when warm..haha However each coat dries in no time and the result is very shiny and glossy. This one, as my other Smitten Polish'es, I've bought at her etsy shop.

 The above picture is in sunlight and the other are in natural light unless something else is written.

With flash.

I just love polishes like this one, the inspiration is so clear and the result is so clear. And once again Noelie (who's the person behind Smitten Polish) makes me want a food product just by wearing a polish, this time it's chocolate. Last time it was mint chocolate chip ice cream with Mint Chip... ;)

Kleancolor- Sheer Pastel Cocoa, swatch

Today I'll show you a polish which feel like having naked nails, or nude naked nails at least. It's Sheer Pastel Cocoa from Kleancolor I'm showing.

 For this I used 2 coats, but I probably should have used one more for more opacity. However I would say it's a jelly so I was prepared for it to be sheer, as the name claimed.

 As you can see, the color is a beige towards red/pink. The first photo is the most color accurate to me and I don't think that the color is that attractive on it's own.

However, for nail art purposes it's awesome, I've used it in jelly sandwiches and in this awesome nail art:
