OPI and Serena Williams Glam Slam : Simply Smash-ing!

Hello everyone!

Another gloomy day... another rainy day... we were happy to have a perfect weather in April and in May, and now, that the summer is almost here - we get bad weather! :)

Today I'll be showing you the first of the polishes OPI released in collaboration with Serena Williams:  Simply Smash-ing! They have released it together with the Black Shatter, that I don't have... I've only got the polish by itself, beacuse at the moment I've purchased it, the Black Shatter was completely sold out of all the online stores I know.

So this is a yellow-green sheer base with huge quantity of gold shimmer. The gold shimmer looks amazingly a lot like the Zoya Apple's...
The polish applies really well, but you'll need 3 coats for full opacity. I really like the spark of this one!

Here I'm wearing 3 coats of Simply Smash-ing!, no top coat:

Who said that this polish looks like a tennis ball with a black crackle on top of it... was right! It kinda does. Maybe it's only the power of suggestion, but the base colour of the polish was , I think, not randomly chosen... ;)
I was telling you I didn't own the Black Shatter... But I do own China Glaze's Black Mesh! ;) So, for the "classic" look, I've applied a coat of Black mesh on top of this sparkling tennis ball :D (sorry, I did not have enough patience to let the polish dry out completely, so the Black Mesh didn't cackle as neatly as I'd liked it to crackle....) :

And with a coat of NailTek Quicken top coat :

In my next posts I'll be using this polish to create some interesting effects... ;)

Whish you all an excellent day, and with a lot more sun than in Toulouse !
See ya soon!
Hugs :*

Deborah Yellow Fiz and Kiko 269

Hello World and Happy Easter to you!

I've been very busy these days du to Easter preparations, so haven't had the time to do anything.
But today I did have some time, and I let myself go with polish reviewing ;)

Today I'll show you my newest brand descovery: Deborah! I've got this form Monoprix, as they had a promo (3 Deborah polishes for the price of 2). The first one I'll swatch here is Yellow Fiz.

It's a really, really nice yellow cream, with nice formula, applying quite well (a bit streaky however on the first coat), very summerish!
Here I wear 2 coats of Deborah Yellow Fiz, no top coat:

And then I've decided to add Kiko 269 on top! Kiko 269 is a glittery yellow sheer base polish, which is excellent for layering (only..). I won't show it by itself, as it is really, really sheer. But look at that great effect over Deborah Yellow fiz!
I've made one coat over my thumb, index and ring:

 

 And then all over the 5 fingers:

 

 And because I couldn't stop here, I've added another coat, this time of China Glaze Black mesh! Such a great contrast! Leopard like ;)
