Chanel Cobra 91 swatches - vintage

Chanel Cobra 91 – was released earlier than 2002 – do you know when?

Cobra looks dark purple in the bottle, but it’s all the gorgeous purple shimmer that shows off. On the nail it’s almost black to look at in low light – but OHHH in the sun, it’s stunning!

This is two easy coats, super dry time – and look at that shine even without a top coat.

I love Cobra - how about you..?

Dance Legend New Prism 5 Spectrum swatches

Dance Legend New Prism 5 Spectrum is a pink, lavender leaning holo with a super strong effect in most situations, and it’s very visible even in outdoor shade, where many holos go flat. It can easily be used as a one-coater, but this is 2 easy coats with a good dry time and with a top coat.

Isn't that a strong rainbow - especially considering it's a fairly pale pink???
You can buy this from Hypnotic Polish!

Chanel Irresistible 127 swatches - Collaboration Saturday

 

Another Collaboration Saturday together with my friend Elena from PicturedTinsel is ready to post - and about time too, as you can see my nails were shorter = old swatches, in fact I wore this around Christmas 2013 with nail art, see it HERE!

Chanel Irrésistible 127 – is a 2002 Holiday polish.

Irresisible is just that – irresistible if you like a deep, vampy and shiny red cream polish! The application was easy, the dry time good, and one coat was almost enough, but here you see 2 coats without a topcoat.

What do you think of this red beauty!?
I wonder what Elena has for us today, let's go and have a look!

Pretty Jelly Bullet Rouge swatches

Do you like this subdued holo?
You can buy it from Edgy Polish!

Kiko 466 French Charcoal and 435 Venom Teal swatches

In this post I have two random Kiko polishes, both with a very nice formula!
The first I got from my dear friend Tanja from Raggio di Luna, see all the polishes she gave me right HERE – and Tanja decided to challenge me with two colors that I normally do not feel comfortable wearing, namely grey and dark teal, let’s have a closer look!

Kiko 466 French Charcoal:

Kiko 466 French Charcoal is from the Denim collection. It is a super dark grey with a subtle hint of blue and a subtle shimmer in silver and blue, so the charcoal name is fitting. The finish is fairly matte and it is completely opaque in one coat, and this is what you see, of course without a top coat

Kiko 435 Venom Teal:

Kiko 435 Venom Teal is from the Laser collection. It’s a subtle duochrome, most of the time it’s teal but it has subtle flashes of a bluish purple, but a bit too teal for me ;) This is two easy coats without a top coat.

What do you think?

Femme Fatale Cosmetics Mirror Of Dawn swatches

Femme Fatale Cosmetics Mirror of Dawn is a grey holo with a strong golden sheen – the end result is very interesting. The holo effect is strong in the sun, but also very visible in other light settings.

It is very opaque in one coat, but this is 2 easy coats with a very good dry time. I used a top coat but it does dry shiny on its own.

What do you think of this kind of mysterious shade?

Irresistible flowers - floral nail art

OK, this is an 8 month old mani from the vault - time to post it, my nails really were shorter back then, huh ;)

The base color is Chanel Irresistible 127 from Christmas 2002, and I actually wore this mani around Christmas 2013. Before I painted subtle flower vines I dabbed the tips with Ciate Confetti to add some sparkle. The top coat is as always Seche Vite.

Do you like this old mani...

Emily de Molly Land of Confusion swatches

Emily de Molly Land of Confusion is an emerald beauty of a holo with a super strong holo in the sun, and it’s highly visible in low indoor and artificial light. It’s not even truly flat in outdoors shade. This is 2 easy coats with a coat of Seche Vite.

MMMM I like this emerald green holo beauty - do you?
