Maybelline 549

Monday, 8 August, 2011

 

 

I know what you’re thinking. Maybelline. Really? I don’t recall seeing Maybelline polish back in the US. Then again, I never really looked, either. I purchased this last weekend at a smaller Åhléns near my home. I’m still overwhelmed every time I step in there. I don’t know why.

Depend – Nr 035

Wednesday, 25 May, 2011

Part of the Swedish haul Mr Carinae brought for me while he was away on business, this is a drugstore brand. This sucker is really bright. I mean, really bright.

Like neon kind of bright.

Zoya – Caitlin

Tuesday, 17 May, 2011

Part of Zoya’s Summer collection for 2011 called Intimate, this color is a bit like a periwinkle but also a bit of a violet with a deep grey undertone. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Come on over and see the gorgeous creme…

Illamasqua – Stagnate and Bacterium

Wednesday, 4 May, 2011

I love the negative names Illamasqua’s given for this collection, which happens to be for their Spring/Summer 2011 offering that is called Toxic Nature. The polish names are in sharp contrast to the beauty that these colors are!

I liked the BURN YOUR EYES orange of Gamma that I showed yesterday, but what I like most about this collection is that the other colors are actually understated. However, they are still a very pretty sight to behold. Wouldn’t you agree?

Illamasqua – Gamma

Monday, 2 May, 2011

Happy Monday! I know I didn’t post anything on Friday, but it was my BFF’s birthday. There was also a royal wedding that I didn’t watch. Seriously, I didn’t watch it. I kind of just tuned out because I knew the world was in wedding frenzy and I wanted no part of it. So I focused on real life – buying the cake for my friend’s birthday and other things that needed my attention.

I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to show you a mellow color or a stinging, burn your eyes, omg it’s bright color.

I present Gamma from Illamasqua’s Toxic Nature Spring/Summer 2011 collection.

China Glaze Electric Pineapple

Thursday, 28 April, 2011

China Glaze Electric Pineapple is electrifying! Like, bright…in a good way. However, I’ve seen China Glaze Electric Pineapple on other girls and on me…I think my skin color just sucks the brightness and happiness out of this color. LOL It gets dull. Like I’m an abusive boyfriend or something.

China Glaze Electric Pineapple is part of their Summer 2011 collection called Island Escape.

Or maybe my camera freaks out at the intensity of the polish. Either way…come on over and see what the brightness is about!

China Glaze Electric Pineapple

Hm…Not quite the color of evil. I think it overshot the mark. Do you? 😉

Daisy Nail Lacquer – California Sunshine and China Glaze Crackles

Friday, 25 March, 2011

I’ve never heard of this brand before, but my awesome nail polish guy had this. At two dollars a bottle, I really couldn’t say no. I don’t think you would either!

I felt that posting a nail polish with this name was a bit ironic given that it’s pouring down rain. I felt that maybe, just maybe, we could do with a memory of our world famous California Sunshine. Well, I know I needed it. I hope the rest of you California girls (and non California girls!) enjoy this color for today.

It was such a great shade of red that popped I felt the urge to slap some China Glaze Crackles on them. Some could say I ruined a beautiful shade of polish, but to be honest I was just curious and well…sometimes good things come out of my curiosity. Sometimes not so much. I hope this is one of those not so much moments.
