Sinful Colors - Cloud 9

Hi guys!

So its been VERY hot the past week, thats why there haven't been many posts. I've been too lazy to do my nails, lol. I have had some good news today, I heard that I passed all my exams this year! So three months of vacation for me! :)

Today I have Cloud 9 from Sinful Colors for you. I got this in a swap and was dissapointed at first because it's so sheer, but after 3 coats I thought it was beautiful. It actuallly is a shimmer, but for some reason it looks like a creme on my pictures. Application was fine, not streaky.



I also did a konad over it but I forgot to take a picture and by now my nail polish has started shipping so I won't put you guys through that!

Have a very nice day and thanks for stopping by!

Holo-time!

Hi everyone!

I picked up Gosh - Holographic today. Since we are having a lot of sun these days in Belgium, I had to try this one out immediatly! This polish is AMAZING. Definitly the best holo I own!

The downside of this polish is that the application is a pain in the ass! When I applied the second coat the brush pulled away the first coat so some nails needed three coats. I applied the polish without base and top coat. Base coat made the application worse and top coat minimalized the holographic effect.

But lets look at the stunning photos now!

This picture was taken inside, so not in direct sunlight. As you can see, the holographic effect isn't noticable.



Now these pictures show the holographic effect PERFECTLY! I tried to capture the holo in different angles, so just have a look.









This polish is perfect for summer days like this with a lot of sun. I'm really amazed about this polish. I can't understand how polish can create this effect. I'm definitly in loooooooooove.

Do any of you have this polish? What are your favorite holos?

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Catrice swatches PART 1

Hi!

Here are the first 4 Catrices that I've swatched for you guys!

First one is I Sea You. A gorgeous green creme. I used two coats, although one would have been enough.


It has some resemblance with Jade Is the New Black from OPI, but they are not dupes. Here's a comparison from a nail wheel. On the left I sea you! and on the right Jitnb.



Next one is It Blue My Mind. It's a blue shimmer. Normally I'm not into shimmers, but I wanted to try this one out because it looked very pretty in the bottle. Now I'm really glad I got it!



This one is Plum Play With Me. A plum creme. Not that special, but I don't have any other plums so it was a nice addition to my collection!



The last one for today is I Scream Peach!. This is a beautiful peachy creme. I absolutly looove this one, finally a peach that doesn't clash with my skintone! It's supposed to be a dupe for Chanels Orange Fizz, but I don't own that one so I can't give a comparison.



So that was it for today! Do you have any catrices? And whats your favorite one?

Thanks for stopping by,
Christina.

Revvolution!

Hi everyone!

Today I want to show you Color Clubs Revvolution. It's a gorgeous dark charcoal holographic color. It applied very well, but I didn't expect anything other from Color Club.

I made some photos in the sun to capture the holo. Just look!









If you don't have this one yet, GO AND GET IT!

Thanks for stopping by,
Christina.
