Old-timer of the week: Anytime Celebration

>> Thursday, February 19, 2009

Like I said I own over 150 polishes which I haven't introduced to you yet. A huge part of them are so old that they aren't even available anymore. And the fact is that nail polishes don't get too old, you can almost always revive them and use every bit of them. So I got an idea to start a new serie:

The Old-Timer of the Week.

And here's this weeks Old-Timer:

Anytime Celebration.

Everyone in Finland knows Anytime. It's a brand that doesn't exist anymore (discontinued in summer 2008) but almost every make up using Finnish girl has started with Anytime. If you know the Finnish cosmetic brand "Lumene" this is it's "little sister", something similar that Maybelline is to Loreal.

This was the same nail polish that I was using four years ago with my matching "prom dress". It's really girly with beautiful shimmer. I still love this color! Don't have any idea why I haven't used this since.
And as you can see it really is an old-timer, here's the best before -day:



06/2007! So it must be at least four or five years old. But it's as good as any of my new nail polishes.
(And by the way, I just found out that the color is quite smilar to Nfu-oh 67.)

China Glaze Harmony (Romantique)

>> Monday, January 19, 2009

I haven't tried all my Romantique Collection -polishes yet so today was Harmony's turn:

This is so adorable! Bright lilac which is deep enough but not too dark. This is more of a summer-lilac than winter-lilac, I think.
Imagine this with light pink polish (like my favorite combo Pricesses rule! and Lumene's Smiling Nights). I just have to try to polish my nails with light pale pink and then the tips with Harmony so the lacquering would gradually darken towards the tips of the nails. Sounds really nice! Only problem is how to execute it...ideas, links? I have some ideas about it but maybe you have better ones.
Here are more pictures of Harmony:



The first one is taken indoors and the second one outdoors. The last one is taken indoors and it has Konad patterns with China Glaze's OMG on pinkie and China Glaze's Devotion on other fingers. Romantique polishes really do work well with Konad!
