Morgan Taylor Berry Perfection and Mint Chocolate Chip swatches

Today I have two random cream polishes from Morgan Taylor!
I got them in a swap with the sweet Vedrana almost two years ago - shame on me for not showing them any sooner...

Berry Perfection:

Morgan Taylor Berry Perfection is a gorgeous shade of berry purple cream. It is opaque in two coats, but because of I dent I added one more + a coat of Seche Vite.

Mint Chocolate Chip:

Morgan Taylor Mint Chocolate Chip is a beautiful light mint cream, ever so slightly dusty. Two coats are enough, but because of my ridges I’m showing it in three + a coat of Seche Vite.

Of these two I love Berry Perfection the most, but both are really beautiful!

Thanks again, Vedrana <3

The Never Ending Haul Story - part 8 - swap with Denise edition

The Never Ending Haul Story is unlike the other editions a "just arrived" edition, my recent swap with Denise that also included a few lovely b-day pressies that has been waiting to arrive :)
We swapped once before - click HERE to see it - and back then we decided to start buying polish for each other for the next - and here it is :)

First we have Manhattan Redtastic (a very close dupe to Dior Diablotine), My Magnolia, Limmering Lime and Barry M Passion Fruit, a bright and fun red for summer.

Anny Top of Emotion, Lucky Surfer Girl, Mint Dolphin and Blue Love - now I look forward to spring again :)

 Two lemmings slayed RBL Pause and Square Pants :)

Girly Bits Artic Sunrise was another lemming, and I love it sooo much in person too, and Denise knows how much I love pastel yellows and bright mints, so Liquid Laquer Baby Chick, Essence I'm Backstage and  the sweetest ice cone from Etude House Ice Cream BE101

Isadora Crown Jewel, and the totally gorgeous and so my color: P2 Sensual Purple (Mirror Mirror on the Wall coll) - and Dior Diorific Minuit that I also had as a lemming!

My first Dance legend and my first termo polish yay, OPI Embara-Dare Ya! and Chanel 135 Bengal these two both were on my wish list too!!

And Denise knows how much I lemming Chanel Jade - so now I have it, I only need a phone to match it ;) - and the polish is Essence Holo Topping Please!

Thank you so much my dear friend - I loved each and every one - and enjoyed my belated b-day polishes too :)

Thanks Lydia for all these amazing polishes and bracelets - I'm so thrilled to have all of them my friend!!!

Blog Swap or sale - salg/bytte af lak og lidt udstyr...

Dansk, længere nede.
As you can see I have added a few new pages in the top menu....
I have planning to do a blog sale & swap list a long time, and finally I got the time to make one. 
I still need to purge more polishes from my rapidly growing collection, but now the first 47 polishes,  are up for swaps - some only available for swaps - and some also for sale if you as a foreigner have a PayPal account.
Several of the polishes are extras, that I have bought for swaps, some have been tested and marked as such.
I also added a page with my Stash list.
And I started my wish list.
Finally 2 questions for you...
Is it annoying that the few "swap only" polishes are mixed with the both for sale and swap polishes - or are the marked clearly enough??? 
Do you like my new pages - or should I change something  to make them more user friendly?

Som du måske kan se, har jeg føjet nogle nye faneblade til top menuen...
Jeg har nu i lang tid planlagt at lave en ordentlig til salg eller bytte side, og endelig blev der tid til det.
Jeg skal stadig have ryddet mere ud i den hastigt voksende beholdning, men de første 47 lakker er nu sat på listen som du finder i top menuen - nogle lakker er til salg eller beregnet til at bytte med - mens andre er udelukkende beregnet til byttehandler/swaps.
Mange af lakkerne er ekstralakker, som jeg har købt med henblik på byttehandler, andre har været åbnet.
Jeg har også sat min oversigt over lakker på som et faneblad.
Og jeg er påbegyndt min øsnkeseddel.
Til slut lige lige et par spørgsmål:
Er det irriterende at "kun bytte" lakkerne står sammen med de lakker der både kan købes og byttes med andre - eller fremgår det tydeligt nok...? 
Kan du li' de nye sider, eller skulle jeg ændre noget for at gøre dem mere brugervenlige..? 

nap time!

Nail Mail from KarenD

Do you know the kind of person that sends you twice as many polishes as you sent to her...?
That's the kind of person that KarenD from Frazzle and Aniploish is...
Karen had in a comment written that she would like to get some Catrice polishes, so I wrote that I was heading for a one-day trip to Germany, so I could get her some. She made a wish list of 8, and I said we could swap more if she wanted, but no, that was it, so of they went as soon as I was home again...
Karen gave me some brand names and I made a few wishes, and said that she could choose the rest. And one day the mail man brought 17 polishes from Karen - yes 17!!!
I emailed her and said that I probably owed her some money for all those nice goodies - and she replied: Absolutely not - it's the same price to ship that kind of mailer no matter what it weighs, so after I put in the bottles I'd bought for you, I filled the rest of the space with things from my swap boxes that have been hanging around my house being ignored for way too long.
Thanks a million Karen, you are simply the best!

And here they are:

Julie G: Fierce & Fab - a neon purple, My Horoscope Says - a metallic fuchsia, Fairytale - a lavender and Gelato In Venice - a mint green

Sinful: Hottie - a cobalt rainbow glitter, Boob Boom - a hot berry-pink, Petites Color Fever: Raspberry - a metallic raspberry and Electric Indigo - a metallic sky blue

Milani Chocolate Sprinkles - a dark brown with golden shimmer and Sail Away - a blue jeans/denim sort of blue with shimmer

Confetti: Happy Birthday - a gorgeous dark purple with a lot of lovely shimmer going on, To Teal To Handle - a teal with a subtle shimmer, Spoiled: First Class Only - a medum blue with a lot of shimmer and Are Mermaids Real? - a grape purple with a lot of sand and gold shimmer

Hedy's oke.doke: Camo Loco - a mossy/olive/army kind of metallic green with shimmer, Steal This Teal - MUCH darker IRL, kind of dark, dusty grey/green/blue with shimmer and finally Purple Nurple - a eggplant purple (also darker than shown) with delightful shimmer in it!
