Wet n Wild - Dreamy Poppy & Blue Polkadots

Hello Beauties!

Today I want to share with you another Wet n Wild polish. This is Dreamy Poppy (E429D). I used two coats of china glaze - White On White as a base since all other polishes of this line were quite sheer. On top of the white the pink popped out perfectly and one coat would have been fine, but I still used two for these swatches.

Dreamy Poppy is a bright pink creme polish that dries to a glossy finish. With the white base I used it is almost neon pink. I really love it. The formula was good and easy to apply. 

This pink is one that i would wear on it's own, but I still felt the need for a little design here. Therefore I added a line of polkadots to the right side of all my nails. I used Wet n Wild - Blue Moon (E466) and a dotting tool to do so.

I have used Blue Moon before in this glitter gradient manicure, wich was actually my very first blogpost. It is a gorgeous very sheer blue creme polish with a dark green shimmer. I always want to wear this polish on it's own, but seem to forget, when I make my pick for the day... Someone remind me please! :-D

I added a dot of china glaze - Fairy Dust to the second blue dot of every nail. In these pictures you can see a small uprising and some glitter. In sunlight it would really stand out, but unfortunately there was none.

To make this a bit more fun, I painted half of my ringfingers nail with etos velvet matte -blue, wich I have already used for this manicure.

Finally I added pink polkadots in Dreamy Poppy to the blue.

I really like this manicure a lot because it is so easy and can be done in any colour. You can only do an accent nail or all nails. 

I hope you like it too!

Astor - Quick'n Go - Caribbean Sea 325

Hello Lovelies!

I hope you all had a great weekend and a good start into the new week. Today I want to show you an Astor nailpolish. This is 325 - Caribbean Sea from the Kisses From Mexico Collection (2014).

Caribbean Sea is a bright turquoise creme polish that dries to a glossy finish. I really like this vibrant colour a lot, but the formula of this polish was not the best. I had a lot of trouble handeling it, because it was so runny. No matter how careful I was, this polish caused flooding in my cuticle area and along the side walls. It was easy to remove though with an orange stick and a brush dipped in polish remover as long as it was still wet. This was only for a few seconds, because it dries pretty quickly. After that it was a pain in the ***. With two coats this polish was opaque.

As an accent I applied a layer of etos - Matt Velvet Nail Polish - blue to my ringfinger. I bought this when I was in the Netherlands a few months ago. This polish also has a consistency that needs getting used to. Contrary to the Astor polish the etos polish has a thick gooey formula that tends to get streaky when you apply it too thin. Maybe this is because it dries very fast. But the colour is worth any trouble. It totally reminds me of bluejeans with that soft silver shimmer and the velvet matte finish. Love it!

I was happy with this combination so far, but it was missing something. So guess what I did!? Yes, I added some glitter. China glaze - Fairy Dust is my go to in these situations. I applied one coat to my turquoise nails and it felt right!

Here comes the next bad news for Caribbean Sea: Even though I used a base coat this polish stained my nails pretty badly. When you look closely, you can see that even my skin was turquoise after removal. I had to scrub a long time to get my fingers clean.

This is so sad, because I really like the colour a lot. Maybe it will work on a white base. I have to try.

How do you like todays polishes? Are these colours something you would like to wear?
