picture polish freya's cats (collaboration shade with nihrida)

i love picture polish collaboration shade, and today is the time for freya's cats made together with nihrida back in 2013.


i can't have enough of blue holos, so i couldn't resist freya's cats. they describe it as an electric blue nail polish that also features dazzling holo flakes.

the blue in this one is almost electric, and even though it's jelly, it has good coverage with two coats. the holo particles are of the scattered type, dense and give a really good effect.

dior garden (glowing gardens)

oh how i love wearing polishes like dior's garden in the summer! it was one of four polishes released in their spring 2016 glowing gardens collection.



garden is a very interesting yellowy green shade, almost pastel but with a regular creme finish. it is eye catching and somehow unique. the formula and applications were not perfect, but not far off. definitely one of the favourites for sunny days.

opi i'm fondue of you (france)

i'm fondue of you is from opi's france collection from back in 2008 and, very very strangely, the only one i have from it.

fondue is a really strange polish. i have days when i wonder why did i get it, and days when i love it. it is a weird chocholate brown, pointing towards this type of fondue instead of cheese, but with very strong red undertones. the shimmer is quite understated but much more prominent in the bottle.

the formula and application were great, but i understant that it's not everyone's cup of hot chocolate.

chanel mysterious (superstition)

superstition was chanel's autumn collection back in 2013, and i have no idea why i waited to show misterious until now. you can see my other pick, alchimie, here.


misterious was described as a "deep khaki", but i would call that deep very, very deep. it is more like a quite blackened olive green with some grey and brown undertones. a nicely flowing creme, very elegant and pretty.
