a england waltz of the flowers (russian soul)

after natasha's dance, i am showing another little gem from a england's russian soul collection, waltz of the flowers.

even though i own many a england polishes at this point, painting my nails in their polishes feels like a treat every time, and waltz is not an exeption. it is advertised as " a light blue purple multichrome with hints of lilac and a dazzling hologram effect " and there is little to argue about there.

waltz is super pretty, with a strong holo and in a strange way, silver-looking purple shade that has sort of a metallic feel to it. formula is, as usual, flawless.

picture polish ultra violence (collaboration shade)

i seriously can't believe that this polish came out in 2013, but here we are. today, i am showing ultra violence from picture polish collaboration shade range.

ultra violence was created by lab muffin. it has an amazing purple base, with magenta hexagonal glitter and purple shimmer. 

it is very pretty and i like the idea, just wish it was slighlty more pigmented. you get the full coverage with two coats, but it feels like a bit more would be perfect.

ysl bleu celadon (bleus lumiere 2014)

as a huge fan of blue polishes and ysl, i was very excited that ysl's summer collection for 2014, blues lumiere, is a blue duo. today i'm showing bleu celadon, after already featuring bleu cyclades.

i don't even know where to start in praising this polish. the color is amazing, somewhere between kind of porcelain turquoise and aqua blue, so soft and pretty. formula is a perfect creme, self leveling with no issues whatsoever, even though it looks like a polish that would be a torture to apply.

apparently, it is really close to the illusive chanel nouvelle vague.
