ILNP - Valentina, swatch

Time for a swatch, which is the beautiful Valentina from ILNP. It's a sheer blue duochrome/multichrome polish which color shifts to pink and golden orange and yellow where the shine hits and is green and tealish at the side of the nails. Absolutely stunning imho and I like how my nails almost looks porcelain with it on. The down-side is that it's coat-hungry and below is 6 coats. I assume shorter nails could get by with less. But, this polish is also beautiful for layering so I guess for those who prefer less coats that would be an option. :)

Purchased from ILNP.com :)

Angelica - Phantom, swatch

Beautiful duochrome polish ranging from dark blue to dark green, maybe even ultra marine (dark blueish purple). Quite often it look emerald green also, like in direct sun shine. This is probably a one-coater, but some coats felt thinner and I wanted to intensify the color so below are 2 coats. Basically it's ridiculously shiny on its own with hardly noticeable brush strokes. Basically I just LOVE this one. So totally my type of polish. As usual with this pretties it was hard to capture.

Bought at Primark for £2.5 (bought it in germany though, so payed in euro, but can't remember the euro amount, but maybe 3-4 euro?)

Dance Legend - Machete, swatch

Hi, today I'm showing a swatch of Dance Legend - Machete. I'm using archive pics and this was the base of my heart beat nail art way back. I got Machete from my dear friend @lakobotan and this is unique in my stash. Machete is part of a Steel collection from 2014 which is filled of smooth metallics, where machete is one with warm beige undertones. I think I used 3 coats for this and as usual I topped it of with Seche Vite. Really like it! :D

Gift.

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

Claire's - 16633, swatch and layering

Hi, here's a quickie with Claire's - 16633 (I don't get why they didn't give this one a real name, they usually do), which is matte hex glitters in black, pastel blue and shiny pink hex glitters in a clear base. I decided to mattify the whole thing with Claire's matte top coat. Fun and simple. :)

Polishes used:
HM - Green Street
Claire's - 16633
Claire's - matte top coat

Bought Claire's - 16633 in Claire's in Cologne for 3,5 euro.

KIKO - 291, swatch

I have showed this polish in a lot of nail art's lately so I thought it deserved to be seen alone as well. ;) 291 is a purple creme from KIKO covering in 2 simple coats, doesn't it look great? :D

Bought on sale for about 2 euro.

Claire's - Ditsy Floral Blue, swatch and layering

Here's a fun matte glitter from Claire's. They're a brand I've started to like since I found it in Germany.

Ditsy Floral Blue has matte middle tone floral shaped glitters, matte hot pink hexes, semi matte metallic hexes and matte white and super light matte pastel blue hexes combined with tiny white hexes in two sizes, all in a clear base. Below is two coats and the flower glitter was very easy to get up, no fishing required at all. As for application I dabbed the flowers a bit, as you do with big glitters. I decided to layer this over KIKO - 330, a warm toned pastel purple and I think the result looks really cute. Top coat is a must since of the glitter size.

Bought Ditsy Floral Blue at Claire's for 3.99 euro.
