Untrieds Day 9 -19

As promised, but too late, my Untrieds that I wore on the days that my internet died. I found some new loves, but also polishes I wouldn't want to be seen with ever again!

I keep my Untrieds in a plastic bag in my polish stash and randomly pick out a polish. Since I deleted the pics by accident I now swatched them so you could see what I wore the past week. I didn't really take the time to clean up :P But enjoy! :)

Day 9

Brand: China Glaze
Name: Ahoy!
Finish: Shimmer
Yay or nay: Yay!

I never wore this one, because I thought it was just another pink. But it's not. It has a gorgeous orange shimmer in it!

Day 10

Brand: Essence
Name: Hard To Resist
Finish: Shimmer
Yay or nay: Nay!

I liked the color of this one, but the application was pretty hard. The brush of it is kinda messed up. I have a dupe for it; Catrice's Blues Brother Vol. II.

Day 11

Brand: Essence
Name: Blue Addicted [layered over Hard To Resist]
Finish: Jelly
Yay or nay: Yay!

I once layered this one over another polish, but the combination was not the right combination. This IS the right combination and it made me love Blue Addicted! It's not a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Across The Universe. It's a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Across The Universe! :)

Day 12

Brand: Sinful Colors
Name: Hottie
Finish: Glitter
Yay or nay: Yay and nay!

This is a really pretty glitter polish. It's even a really, really, really close dupe for O.P.I.'s Last Friday Night. The reason for the nay is because it's a pain in the ass to remove! It took me forever! I got this one in a swap with Nory :)

Day 13

Brand: Sally Hansen
Name: Bubblegum Pink
Finish: Creme
Yay or nay: Yay!

Again a pink where I thought it would be OR just another pink OR not a pink I would wear. In the bottle it looked almost a little bit frosty. In real life this color is beautiful! I couldn't capture it's true color. To me it looked nice with my skin tone and I think this one would look amazing with the Gosh matte topcoat. I got this one in a swap with Nory :)

Day 14

Brand: Catrice
Name: Be My Millionaire
Finish: Metallic/Foil?
Yay or nay: Nay!

This one is blegh! I hated it so much! I believe it is a nice one for stamping though, but just wearing it like this, on it's own; never again!

Day 15

Brand: Sally Hansen
Name: Plum Power
Finish: Creme/Shimmer
Yay or nay: Nay!

This is just not my color.. I don't have a lot to say about it :P I do want to tell that Sally Hansen is available in my country, but they're € 7,99 which is almost $11... So sad... xD I got this one in a swap with Nory :)

Day 16

Brand: O.P.I
Name: Black Cherry Chutney
Finish: Shimmer
Yay or nay: Yay!

I wish I grabbed this one the first day of the Untrieds! Or even before I started with the Untrieds. It's a really nice and vampy color. I think this would be great for this season. I got this one in a swap with Nory :)

Day 17

Brand: China Glaze
Name: Mummy May I
Finish: Glitter
Yay or nay: Nay!

I wanted to have this one so bad and when I got it I never put it on, because it didn't look like I expected it to be. With the first stroke it reminded me of Revlon's Facets Of Fuchsia, but that one is so much more nicer! This is just a fail :P

Day 18

Brand: Catrice
Name: From Dusk To Dawn
Finish: Creme/Shimmer
Yay or nay: Yay!

I've had From Dusk To Dawn in my Untrieds before, but this is the new version. I believe it's out since September, but never bought it because the color seemed so not me. Wrong! LOVE IT! It has a gorgeous pink shimmer in it, but you can only see it in some lightnings. On multiple blogs I read that the old version from From Dusk To Dawn is really hard to find, but... at work I found a bottle of the old one! :)

Day 19

Brand: Sinful Colors
Name: Why Not
Finish: Creme
Yay or nay: Yay!

I loved this one! Not a color I would pick myself. I wouldn't wear this one in the winter time, but for summer it would be amazing! Again, I got this one in a swap with Nory :)

Untrieds Day 6: Sinful Colors - Cream Pink

 Another polish I got from Nory! Sinful Colors' Cream Pink.

It's kinda neon so it doesn't dry shiny. The picture below is without a topcoat. I should have take pictures with the topcoat too, so you can see the difference.

When I first saw this in the bottle I saw the orange shimmer and knew I don't have anything like this! So, yay! :P

Pink Stripes [100th post!]

95 days, 99 posts, ±230 comments and 245 followers later I present to you... my 100th post!

It was easier to get to 100 posts than I expected and those days fly by! When I hit 25 followers I was so happy! To thank everybody I had a giveaway, not thinking so many people would start following me!

I wanted this post to be more than just a simple swatch for the Untrieds month, so here I have something I did with the color I wore today. You will find out what color pink this is later tonight in my Untrieds post.

I don't have anything on my middle finger because the nail broke a few days ago and it would look weird next to the others :P But it's nice as an accent nail. My thumb is just pink too :)

I'm going for the next 100 posts! Keep me motivated with comments, because I love comments! :)

Anyone else watching the EMA's right now? It's still the red carpet show, but when the main show comes on I'll be switching back and forth between the EMA's and another show :P

Untrieds Day 5: Miss Sporty - nr. 346

Hello and sorry for the late post of today. We're on day 5 of the Untrieds month and I picked a Miss Sporty polish I bought a while ago. The pictures aren't color accurate, but I really couldn't capture it with my camera.

Nr. 346 is actually green. It reminded me of Christmas when I had it on my nails, but it's not a Christmas green. In the bottle it looks completely different! I do not like this one at all, just because of the color. I do like the shimmer in it a lot, though.

Miss Sporty nail polishes are my fave when it comes to the brush. It's just the most amazing and easiest thing to work with. Maybe I'll show you some different brands next to each other :)

Untrieds Day 3: Sinful Colors - Mercury Rising

* * * Tomorrow my giveaway ends. Make sure to check it out! * * *

AGAIN a polish I got from Nory and I can't promise tomorrow's polish won't be :P Sinful Colors is not easy to get for me, so it's a pretty big deal for me to have certain brands. Anyway, my weekend finally started :D It's almost midnight here and I'm tired after 3 days of almost 10 hour shifts!


Mercury Rising... When I first saw the color of this I didn't know if I would like it, because it was brown and I don't wear brown. Last night I put it on and I felt in love, kinda. It's a gorgeous color and I actually really like it on me :)

In real life it's brown/orange and not brown/red like you see in these pictures.

And I don't know if this is because I use Trind's Nail Repair or recently used Herôme's Nail Hardener, but this one and the polishes from Untrieds Day 1 and Untrieds Day 2 did not really chip. Usually half of my nail polish is gone after work and now all 3 polishes survived! Only a bit of tipwear, but I also blame my topcoat for that.

Pink Wednesday: Not So Pink

Today some little bit of nail art again. It's really easy, but I kinda failed a bit as usual.

I painted my middle finger black and put striping tape in the middle of my nail. I put 2 more pieces on the left and 2 more on the right. Then I applied some pink and purples. To stay in these colors I randomly painted my other finger nails in the colors I used on my middle finger.

For this nail art I was inspired by the wall in front of me :P

Thanks for reading!

Day 13 - A Polish That Is Blue [O.P.I. - Swimsuit... Nailed It!]

When I started this 'challenge' I didn't really know what kind of blue I would pick. None of my blue's are that interesting or pretty. Until a few days ago where I received the polishes from my first swap with Nory. I got my first O.P.I polishes and one of them is this gorgeous blue Swimsuit... Nailed It!

Sorry for the tipwear! I wore this for almost 2 days :P

Before I got the polishes Nory told me this was one of the polishes she got me. I told her my mom would be jealous! :P When I got the polishes and unwrapped them my mom was like; Oooh, I like that blue one! :P
I swatched most of the polishes on each of my fingers and that night I was talking with my brother in the kitchen and he was like; That blue one looks pretty cool. (he also like the other O.P.I. polish xD)

Swimsuit... Nailed It! was hard to capture on camera and this is not how it looks like in real life. In real it's even more pretty! It reminded me of the ocean you see in movies! :P

What do you think of this color? Do you own it?

xoxo Ingie

ELF Preview

* * * Make sure to check out my giveaway! * * *

Just a little preview of the ELF polishes I ordered last week :) Post will be up tomorrow or in a few days.

Do you see a color you like?

Day 6 - A Polish I've Never Worn [Color Club - Nouveau Vintage/Snakeskin]

* * * Make sure to check out my giveaway! * * *

You may have seen this post yesterday, because I failed typing the right date :P

For this day I actually had quite a few polishes to choose from. I picked two, both from Color Club. I picked these, because of 2 reasons:
1. I wanted to have them so badly and when I had them I never even looked at it.
2. Looking at the bottle they look a lot like each other.
I can tell you that that last one is far from true when on the nails.

Here I have Nouveau Vintage for you. In the bottle this looks really green, but is completely different on the nails. It's a really sheer polish, so I'm wearing three coats. It has kind of a bronze base and has green, red, blue, yellow, green and orange micro shimmer in it. The green and red are most noticeable in real life.

See how green it looks in the bottle?

This is Snakeskin. It doesn't even come close to the color of Nouveau Vintage. In these pictures it looks kinda metallic silver, but in real life it looks like what you see in the bottle of Nouveau Vintage. This one has gold micro glitter in it which looks really pretty! In the pictures this one looks really streaky, but in real life it doesn't. I'm wearing two coats.

Just an unnecessary comparison :P

Which one do you like better? Do you have any of these polishes? Leave me a comment below :)

Thanks for reading!

Day 2 - My Least Favorite Polish [Catrice - Just Married]

* * * Make sure to check out my giveaway! * * *

I knew I had a hated polish somewhere in my stash, but which one was it? I went looking through my stash and found it! Catrice - Just Married. As much as I like the name, I don't like the polish. I remember even trying to like it just because of the name. Not working.

Here I'm wearing 2 coats of Just Married. A light pink almost peachy color with silver micro shimmers. This is actually the polish that made me think I hated polishes with shimmers in it... Damn this polish!

I knew I bought another polish a few months ago and when I came home and applied it anger just came up. Not really, but you know what I mean. It was like a déjà vu... I'm talking about Dance Like A Prima Ballerina from the Ultimate Nudes collection.

Dance Like A Prima Ballerina, Just Married, Dance Like A Prima Ballerina, Just Married

Just Married and Dance Like A Prima Ballerina are exact dupes, but DLAPB needed 3 coats and was a bit more streaky. I don't understand why they even had them both in the collection for a while. Just Married got discontinued in September, so if you like it just get Dance Like A Prima Ballerina :)

Day 1 - My Favorite Nail Polish [Catrice - London's Weather Forecast]

* * * Make sure to check out my giveaway! * * *

I was thinking; what is my favorite nail polish? Could be something pink, but I didn't want a pink one to be my favorite. After almost picking a pink polish as my favorite I remembered that another polish is my favorite! :O
Catrice - London's Weather Forecast! In October 2010 is when my nail polish addicted started and this was the first polish I picked when buying my first polishes. I've loved it ever since. And when my nail polish stash wasn't as ''big'' as it is now this was one I came back to a lot.

Since September London's Weather Forecast got discontinued and a new grey polish came into the collection; ASHley. I've heard it was similar to London's Weather Forecast.

ASHley, London's Weather Forecast, ASHley, London's Weather Forecast

No. Not the same. London's Weather Forecast is a dark grey polish with silver and a few red and blue shimmers. ASHley is a lighter creme grey polish. I like it, but I have another grey polish that I love better :P

In all pictures I'm wearing 2 coats of polish.

Well, I completed day 1 of this challenge and I am convinced I will end this challenge :P

Catrice - Let's Mauve On (Old & New version)

I tried to get this post up before midnight, my time, but it didn't work... :( The past few days have been so hectic and really hot! Summer decided to show it's face again.

Anyhow.. Since September Catrice has new nail polishes and discontinued some. But they confuse me sometimes. Same colors get a new name, but new colors get a name that already existed in the collection while they don't even look like the old one. One of them is Let's Mauve On.

The old version, shown on my index and ring finger is a light purple color going toward pink. A lovely color and nice to apply. It has a little shimmer in it. I think in these pictures I'm wearing 2 coats, but a 3rd one was needed.

The new version is completely different. The color is kind of foil or metallic looking. I don't really know the difference :P But this one was opaque in just one coat, so might be really good for stamping!

Thanks for reading :)

Catrice - Blues Brother Vol. II

Hello!

You may or may not have noticed that yesterday's post is gone. I deleted is because I made 2 mistakes.
1. I posted it as China Glaze - Crimson, while I showed pictures of Urban-Night
2. I said it was from the Metro Fall collection while it's from the Haunting collection.
So yeah, I messed up. The right posts will come in a few days :)

But today I have a gorgeous polish to show you!

This is Catrice's gorgeous new polish named Blues Brother Vol. II. Obviously they had a Blues Brother before, but I don't own that one.

As you can see it's a really gorgeous deep blue color with blue shimmers in it. One coat is enough, but I always want at least 2 coats :P

Thanks for stopping by again! :)

xoxo Ingie

Catrice - After Eight

Hello!

Today I have a pretty polish to share with you! This is Catrice's After Eight, a polish from the new collection. When I think of the words After Eight I think of tea. I remember a commercial from a few years ago about tea, or cookies named like that and they were in a green package. Just a little fact :P

After Eight is a shimmery deep green polish with really small green and blue glitters in it. The polish is very pigmented and you can just apply one coat. For some reason I thought I needed another coat and didn't let the first coat dry, so I got a little bit of cuticle drag.

This polish is gonna be great for fall and winter. I honestly can't wait for it, because I love cold weather! My nails want to match the weather :P

Here you can really see the glitter and shimmer. Love it! The polish did went on a bit streaky, but you can hardly even tell in real life!

Thanks for reading!

xoxo Ingie

Catrice - Marilyn & Me

Marilyn & Me? Nice name! Everytime Catrice comes out with a new collection they come up with the best names. They did it again!

A few days ago I showed you red nails for the challenge, but I happen to got a new red polish a few days later. I just had to show you this one!

It's red (obviously..) with red shimmer and chunky glitter. I've actually never really seen those two together! I think it's really pretty. I wouldn't wear this polish now, but more when we're going into the winter. I find it so Christmassy (I like using words that don't exist xD)

In this last picture you actually don't see much of the chunky glitter, but still you can see how gorgeous it is! For this polish I first applied 2 coats, but wanted to try 3 instead. It was really opaque with 3 coats1 :)

xoxo Ingie
