china glaze bff (omg)

even 13 years later, i am still a sucker for the china glaze's original omg collection. after fyi, i am showing bff.


like all the other polishes in the collection, bff is also a linear holo. the shade is a soft magenta, very pretty but far from basic.

this, as well as the other polishes from the collection, are on the thin side, and work better with an aqua base. i sometimes forget about that and use a regular base coat, so it is not unworkable. i seriously still wish i had all of them!

ysl ambre gingembre (spicy)

i think that my favourite ysl collection was limited edition  spicy for spring 2014, and my choice  for today is 42 ambre gingembre. i already showed feuille d'or and eau de rose.



i have to admit, this collection is not for everyone. while i don't see why is it aimed for spring because, for me, it's so autumny, i simply adore the colours.

ambre gingembre is just the type of orange i was waiting for. i really wanted a kind of warm, dark orange shade, close to those brick-type colours, but still a bit darker. of course, it is a perfect-formula creme, as it can be expected from ysl. i am so glad i finally own it!
