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.

Pastel purple funky french with green cheetah spots

It's Sunday and that's mean Lelack's Nail Art Sunday and this week the theme is free. If you want to find more cool nail art from a lot of bloggers (mainly Swedish ones) that's the place to be when later to night there will be a link list of all blogs participating.

Since the theme is free I figured I'd show a nail art I did for some weeks ago. Basically the nail art is a pastel funky french with leopard or cheetah spots on half of the nail. I really like it and could consider wearing it again and again but next time I'll try a new color combination for variation. The design I've seen on several places already but that doesn't make it less nice, right? :)

The green polish in the manicure; Polish Me Happy is actually a polish I hate wearing as a full manicure, I'm not comfortable in it at all and I don't know why. Okay, I have my guesses, I think it has too much blue in it. The reason I keep it is for nail art, but maybe it's too dark for this manicure. Maybe it would have been nicer with a lighter green for this nail art.

Polishes used:
Kleancolor - Pastel Purple
Kleancolor - Black
HM Nail Polish - Polish Me Happy.

What do you think about this? Weird or fun with pastel as a funky french and darker leopard spots on top? :)
