Picture Polish Bridget swatches

Picture Polish Bridget is one of the Opulence shades. All the swatches I have seen indicate it would be more red, so I was surprised to see how burnt red/brick red it is.
Unfortunately Blogger doesn't help here - it does shows it more red, but in person it isn't...
It is packed with scattered holo and it has a beautiful depth. It dries with an even and glossy finish. It is fairly opaque in one coat, but this is 2 coats, and I added a coat of Seche Vite before I took the photos.
Bridget is inspired by Bridget Jones (Bridget Jones’s diary) – and I absolutely love Bridget :)
Do you like this Bridget...?
I bought Bridget from Pretty Polish!

Catrice Haute Future swatches: Eletrix Blue and GaLILACxy (also layered)

Here you two of the LE Haute Future collection from Catrice:

C01 Eletrix Blue is a pale blue-grey holo. It’s easy to apply and the dry time is good. This is 2 coats without a top coat.

GaLILACxy:
C04 GaLILACxy is a pale duochrome polish shifting from pink to silver grey to a subtle beige bronze – not really my color at all, but I believed it was a topper.
So at first I chose to show it in 1 coat over index to pinkie: Indigo blue, eggplant purple, red and bubblegum pink – no top coat.
BUT I realized that it wasn’t ideal to layer it, so here it is in 3 coats – 2 coats would have been enough too…
Do you like them...?
I'm not a huge fan, but they are OK I guess...

Nails Inc. swatches Sumner Place and Royal Botanical Gardens

In this post you can meet two random pastels from Nails Inc.
Nails Inc Sumner Place is a beautiful pastel yellow cream. The formula has a good self-leveling ability and it is easy to work with, and 2-3 coats are enough. This is 3 coats without a top coat.

Royal Botanical Gardens:
Nails Inc Royal Botanical Gardens is a light sky blue cream. The formula has a good self-leveling ability and it is easy to work with. This is 2 coats without a top coat.
I cannot choose which is the prettiest - fortunately have them both and love them ;)
How do you feel about them, any favorite?

Cirque Sky Woman - Heritage Coll. swatches

Cirque Sky Woman is one of the 7 polishes from the Heritage coll. It’s a periwinkle leaning mid blue holo. In low light it looks like a jeans polish, but in the sun, the holo comes out to play. The formula is on the thick side, but in the good way - it is very opaque in one coat, but needs two coats. The dry time is good. The finish is not quite as shiny as I prefer, so I added a coat of Seche Vite.
Do you like Sky Woman?
I bought her from Pretty Polish in Holland, they offer worldwide shipping!

Chanel Beige D'Or 24 swatches over different colors - vintage

Chanel Beige D’Or 24 – is not the same as the later Beige D’Or 223. I do not know how old it is, but it’s clearly a vintage, probably from the 90's, and not seen for sale very often.
Beige D’Or 24 is a beautiful gold shimmer in a very sheer beige base. It would look gorgeous on its own on nails without the ridges I have.
So I chose to show it in 1 coat as a topper over four Chanel polishes: Black Satin 219, Suspicious 561, Blue Rebel 553 and Mysterious 601.
I'm not too fond of it over Blue Rebel, but I do like the other layerings - what do you think..?

Barielle Falling Star swatches

Barielle Falling Star has been on my wish list for a long time, and recently we had a “random act of kindness” swap with used polishes in a Faced Book group. The receiver did not in advance know what or from whom – and I was lucky to get Falling Star along with 5 other polishes :D – thank you so much Annette N!
Falling Star is a medium blue with pretty copper glitters, and I like how subtle and yet eye catching they are. This is two coats with a coat of Seche Vite!
Do you like Falling Star..?
