OPI - It's Totally Fort Worth It

Hello everyone,

A quick post for today to celebrate my new net-book (my desktop is totally out of service and unfortunately lots of my pictures are still trapped on its hard-disk )!  Oh, well, it's a small, inexpensive laptop... Not exactly what I wanted, but that'll do it until I get something bigger and better: a desktop :) But that's all right, I don't regret buying this one because I'm sure it will be a great travel companion after all.
And luckily,  I have some drafts saved in my posts. So, until I receive my command of an adapter ATA -USB for hard-disks, I'll post the stuff I already uploaded in my drafts!

So today I'll be showing you another "last year"! It's OPI It's Totally Fort Worth it, from the Texas collection released for the spring in 2011.
This polish is got a cute gray-ish silvery base with this really nice pink shimmer, it's also got a very beautiful pearly finish ... but it is incredibly sheer! What you see in the pictures bellow is actually 4 coats!
I don't know about you, but me, I simply can't handle polishes that require 4 coats in order to get a bit opaque. I 'm sure that I'm not going to wear them because I cruelly lack spare time... And yes, 4 coats and still got VNL...! Too bad. 
The drying time is surprisingly good even with 4 coats.

I tried to do a Konad design using OPI Ski Teal We Drop, but it failed. So I added a coat of OPI DS Coronation on top of the mess :) and here is the result:

Oh well, too bad for this polish, but this makes the waiting for OPI Holland even harder!!! :D
They said it will be available in stores about middle of February... gna gna gna! ;D Can't wait! ;)

So, until then, let's see the conclusions about OPI It's Totally Fort Worth it:

In conclusion:

Application: 3/5
Formula: 1.5/5
Finish: 3/5
Drying time: 4.5/5
Opacity: 1/5

Overall: 2.6/5

Thank you everyone for watching!

OPI Crown Me Already! - Miss Universe Collection

Hi there everyone,

Hope you're doing fine and that you're having a great weekend.
Today I'll show you another polish  from the Miss Universe Collection. It's basically a mix of silver micro-glitter, hex-glitter and some other medium-sized pieces of silver glitter, all in a clear base.
Of course, because of the clear base, you'll be needing 3 or 4 coats for opacity. I only did 2 here. Normally, IRL, the portions of nail that you obviously can see through the glitter in these pictures, is not so visible actually.
The application was OK for a glitter, and I gotta say that I really like the sparkle and the joy that this can bring to any mani when used as a top coat!

So, here I'm wearing 2 coats of OPI Crown Me Already!, no top coat:

In conclusion:

Opacity: 4/5

Overall: 4.1/5

Thank you everyone for watching!

Hugs!

Revlon - Bolt

Hello everyone,

This will be a quick post, because I'm really, really tired after work...
So this is my first Revlon ever, and it's thanks to Stéphanie from So Nailed! This cute polish was in the package I've received from her this month and I really love it ;)
It's not quite summery in terms of colour, it's more like the weather we're having right now... :)
The base is a sheer light grey, with lots of silver shimmer. If you look closely, you can also see some subtle pink shimmer! Very cute ;)
It's opaque in 3 coats, and the finish is almost foil. Makes me think of shimmery stainless steel.

Here I'm wearing 3 coats of Revlon Bolt, no top coat:

And, little bonus: Ghitzou and me ;) (sorry for the low quality pic)

Thank you for watching, everyone!
See ya soon ;)

Hugs!!!

Kiko 305

Hello everybody,

Today I'd like to show you one of the Kiko polishes I’ve purchased 3 or 4 weeks ago when I went to Paris to see my best friend, Ruxi. We went shopping together and she showed me this Kiko store at Les Halles. I’ve discovered that they are not only selling nail polishes, but all sorts of make up products at very interesting prices. So I’ve purchased 6 Kiko nail polishes and one eye shadow (this was only 2,5 euros!).

Here I’ll show you the first Kiko I’ve tried on, it’s Kiko number 305. And I was so happy about it!

It’s a very beautiful silvery foil with a touch of green/kaki -very fortunate combination, in my opinion!

This one is opaque in 3 coats. Excellent application with a very pleasant brush, very good drying time and very good wear. 

So here I am wearing 3 coats of Kiko 305 and one coat of NailTek Quicken. I really like the trees from the park reflecting on my nails (in the last picture), and giving them a supplementary shade of green… so cute ;)

Sorry about that accident on my middle finger.
