OPI Play 'Til Midnight

Here's a great, midnight blue polish: OPI Play 'Til Midnight.




This one is from Holiday in Toyland Collection.
It's really dark and deep blue and in less lighting it looks almost balck. And with some lighting it even looks really, really deep, bluish violet!

It has a nice, soft shimmer and when you look closely you can discover some really tiny red and violet glitters.

I'm not really into blue polishes but for some reason I like this very much. Are you into blue polishes?

IsaDora Diamond Blue

Don't you just love the cool, shimmery and light blue tone?
Isn't it pretty? Just look at the beautiful, a bit silvery trace!

Ain't it a keeper?

No, it's one of the worst polishes ever! IsaDora, I hate you and your new extra width brushes. Just look at this brush:

-It's too width. You just can not polish precisely with it.
- It's too short. The short brush just makes it really hard to work with. When you are adding a layer, suddenly a massive
flow of polish comes down from the part where the bristles are attached to the short and width brush and it makes a real mess.

Other negative things:
-The bottle so small, only 6 ml of nail polish inside.
-It really costs a lot, almost 8 euros. For that price you almost get three OPI polishes from 8ty8beauty.com.

Something positive? I do love the color plus it doesn't take too long to dry.
But that's about it.

Lumene Hold My Hand & NYX Girls CN231

Something old, something new and something blue...

As my Finnish readers might know, I've made a new year's promise to use at least 10 nail polishes away from my polish collection before I'm allowed to buy new ones. And of course I want to get rid of those ten polishes as quickly as I can. So instead of using just my newest polishes (like I've been doing lately), I'm going to use my old ones also and combine them with the new ones.

So here's today's lacquer:

At first I just put Lumene's Quick & Chic nail polish called Hold My Hand (23) because I noticed that there weren't that much polish left in it's container (is that a right word?). I used three coats and topped it with Poshe. This is a nice, soft white color, not too bright. But this one just seemed a bit boring to be worn just by itself...

Then I decided that this one needs a little glitter:

I added one coat of NYX Girls' CN231 which is a great blue/turquoise glittery polish. Quite cute! This look isn't so sophisticated or classy but it's funny enough to be kept for a day. And the best thing is that my Lumene's nail polish has now enough polish for just approximately two lacquerings! Win-win situation for me!

China Glaze Adore (Romantique Collection)

Tänään kokeiluun lähti China Glazen Romantique-kokoelman Adore:

Kaunis ja peittävä siniturkoosi lakka, jossa on helmiäishimmeri (kuten kaikissa tämän kokoelman lakoissa). Yllä olevassa kuvassa lakka tosin näyttää hieman liian siniseltä, todellisuudessa lakka on turkoosimpi. Tämä kuva on otettu keinovaloissa.

Tässä lakka vielä päivänvalossa, turkoosi sävy välittyy edellistä kuvaa paremmin:

Kiva sävy joka tapauksessa, vaikka turkoosit eivät lukeudukaan lempisävyihini kynsilakoissa.
