Too Fancy Lacquer Aphrodite

This might not be the obvious choice for summer, but I wore it the other day and enjoyed it very much...

Too Fancy Lacquer Aphrodite is a complex kind of dark purple.
It’s grape-berry-plum-smokey-dusty dark purple in the shade, but in low light you see hints of rainbows. In the sun it turns on an incredible light show of rainbows, and now it’s both a blue grape and plum purple.
This is 2 easy coats with a coat of Seche Vite.

Do you like Aphrodite?

I bought this beauty from Edgy Polish

Red, gold and black brush stroke nail art

The base color is one coat of China Glaze Poinsettia, and I created the pattern with a more or less dry bottle brushes in A England Camelot and Orly Glitz & Glamour and if needed more Poinsettia. The top coat is Seche Vite. Quick and easy nail at…

PS: The gold was more visible in person...

Smitten Polish Ker-Bloom

Smitten Polish Ker-Bloom is a dark cornflower blue holo. It does play a little in low indoor light, very well in artificial lightning, in the shade not so much, but strongly in the sun. This is 2 easy coats with a good dry time and I used a coat of Seche vite
The photos does not do it justice, the rainbows are stronger when they play...

Korres: Ciel Glacial 81, Pastel Lemon 34 and Pastel Mint 35

Korres is a Greek brand with fantastic products based on natural, organic ingredients and homeopathy, I like the values behind the brand.

I have 7 Korres nail polishes, and today I’m showing the 3 first, they are all super pale pastel colors, but not to worry, if you prefer stronger colors, they have that too. 
Their formula is super nice to work with, the self leveling ability is outstanding, the dry time is good and their finish is nice and shiny, all in all a really nice quality.

They are 7-big-free, have read somewhere that it is even more – Korres website is HERE, but they can be purchased several places online. My favorite body lotion is by the way Korres Jasmine Body Milk.

Ciel Glacial 81

Ciel Glacial 81 is a super pale blue with a very subtle blue shimmer. It is sheer but builds up very nicely in the second coat, so you easily can wear it in 2 coats. 3 coats gives opacity, but for the sake of these photos I went for 4 coats (to hide my ridges completely) without a top coat.

Pastel Lemon:

Pastel Lemon 34 is a pretty pastel yellow with a very subtle golden shimmer. It builds up nicely in the second coat, but to hide my ridges I went for 3 coats without a top coat for these photos…

Pastel Mint

Pastel Mint 35 is a very pale pastel mint with a surprisingly good opacity. This is 2 coats without a top coat.

What do you think of these pale pastels...?
Do you have any Korres polishes?

Next week I will show you some pretty bright colors from Korres...

Cirque Powwow - Heritage collection

Cirque Powwow is one of the 7 polishes from the Heritage coll. It is an unique shade; a subdued rosy pink in some light settings, and more hot pink in other light conditions. The holo is modest – except in the sun where it really comes out to play. Although I love it, I had hoped it would be more hot pink – more powwow - BUT Blogger as usual makes my pink polishes more pink than they are, so it is NOT as hot in person...

This is two easy coats with a good dry time, it didn’t dry super shiny, so I added a coat of Seche Vite.

Do you like Powwow..?
