ysl parme graffiti (core)

my choice for today is a gorgeous ysl polish from their core line, parme graffiti.

my love for ysl polishes is a well known thing, so parme graffiti was my first choice when i finally decided to get a lilac polish.

parme grafitti is a standard ysl perfection. a beautiful lilac creme, almost pastely. one of these colours i thought are too girly for me, but somehow turned out i liked them. it is more pastely in real life, the strange light kind of changed it, so i will have to redo this post once i wear it again in a more sunny weather.

picture polish eyre (opulence)

it's time for this absolute stunner: picture polish eyre, released as the addition to their opulence collection in 2014.

it is a metallic blurple shade filled with holo flakes, which is probably in my top 3 favourite finishes. everything about it is amazing, it was so hard to limit the number of pictures. the formula is also great, two regular coats.

eyre is gorgeous in every light, but i just adore it when it's gloomy because, even though it doesn't show all of its sparkle, it becomes so misterious. i will update this post with pictures in direct sun at some point.

chanel vendetta (bohemian fantasy)

time for a classic, chanel vendetta from bohemian fantasy collection back in the summer 2009.

this polish is so well known, that i find redundant to even write about it. it is a dark, blackened purple with the not that abundant shimmer. it really needs to be hit with light to really shine.

it used to be a popular opinion that it would benefit from being lighter or with more shimmer, but after we got taboo, it was admired from what it is. out of all the similar shades i owned over the years, this one has the best formula.

china glaze 2nite (omg)

it has been 14 years (wow, time flies!), but china glaze's omg collection still feels fresh and current. after fyi and bff, i am showing arguably the biggest star, 2nite.

this polish is a true blue perfection. the holo effect is linear and one of the prettiest i ever saw. it looks a bit dull in the shade, but the second it gets a spark of light, it turns to magic. i included some pictures from the archive, just because i love it!

application is perfect, but i always use the aqua base for my linear holo polishes, so i don't know how it behaves with a regular base.

natural light:

opi show it and glow it (burlesque)

burlesque was a super fun holiday collection from opi back in 2010. i already showed  teas-y does it and the show must go on, and now it's time for show it and glow it.

show it and glow it is a proper glitter bomb. the main colour here is fuchsia, and it is packed with pink and silver glitter.

it is quite dense, but it doesn't make lumps. two normal coats are enough for a solid coverage, with some shearer spots here an there, if you're not careful. i do intend to wear it as a topper, but i somehow never get around to it.
