opi my dogsled is a hybrid (nordic)

my favourite from opi's 2014 nordic collection is definitely my dogsled is a hybrid.


my dogsled is a hybrid is a really gorgeous sea green shade. it is almost a jade, but still lively. opi's tagline: enliven your environment by wearing this creamy sea green.

i was worried about the formula a bit, but it turned out to be really easy to work with so i can definitely recommend this polish.

ysl broze pyrite (spring 2013)

 bronze pyrite was paired with jade imperiale to complete ysl's 2013 spring collection.


i do love metallic polishes, so it's no wonder i really wanted this one. the color is a combination of many different shades, with the pewter being the most dominant, followed by gold and olive green. 

since it is a true metallic polish, it can leave some brushstrokes, but nothing too messy. once again, i cannot praise the formula and brush enough, they are so amazing.

china glaze angel wings (holiday joy)

we are nowhere near the winter or holiday season, but polish from china glaze holiday joy collection always seems to be a good choice, so i picked angel wings.

angel wings is basically a gold version of glistening snow. this polish is gold all over: gold glitter, gold holo particles, all jumbled in a clear base. it dries really quickly in a gritty, textured finish. i don't add top coat to these types of polishes, they are usually a tc eaters and in the end i end up preferring them in their intended way.

formula is good,  drying time is great and i find it to be a perfect holiday polish!

wet n wild heatwave (wildshine)

heatwave is my only wet n wild polish, and it is now part of their core collection, wildshine, that was revamped quite a few years ago.

i got heatwave as a present at least 5 years ago, and i wear it quite a lot, but those sort of shades are the ones that are the most difficult to capture accurately and i was never truly happy with the photos. i am not that close to finishing the bottle, but i am more than a halfway done, so i decided it is the time to get it over with.

it is a perfect coral shade. don't let the photos trick you, it is a proper coral, with equal amounts of red and orange overtones. it is one of my go-to summer shades. formula is pretty decent with great coverage.

picture polish serenity (collaboration)

it is clear from the first glance, that serenity is the product of a picture polish collaboration, this time with polished peripherals, whose inspiration for it was lavander, and i stole the first photo from her (weirdly, there are no promo bottles pictures to be found).

the base colour is a gorgeous sea green shade, with blurple square glitter and a subtle lavander haze. it is a very unique and pretty polish.

the formula is solid, and it is not fully packed with glitter, so i recommend shaking the bottle a bit before the application.
