catrice get slimed (iconails)

i already raved about current catrice core collection, iconails. after aqua man-icure and beleive in jade,  i am moving to get slimed.

get slimed might not be everybody's cup of tea, but it surely is mine. it is a muted, but still lively lime green. the second i saw it, i knew it had to be mine.

application and formula are great, i really am happy with current catrice offer.

a england katyusha (russian soul)

i am showing you katyusha, another a england beauty from their 2016  russian soul collection. so far, we saw polovetsian dances, waltz of the flowers, natasha's dance.

a england creator always has a way with words, and the description of this absolute beauty is: "dramatic and unique flashing of rainbow hues, like a light opal on a precious holographic base."

oh, how to describe this shade other than pure magic? the shade is not really silver and not really gold, but somewhere in that area. it is rich, shimmery metallic holo, and take from that what you will. i guess it is one of these polishes where words are not enough, so i overdid it a bit with photos.

dior graphic berry (violet graphique) (nail bar)

graphic berry, known also as violet graphique, is part of dior's nail bar collection from back in the 2011. do you remember those days when dior gave their polishes both english and french names?

graphic berry is a very pretty, cool magenta. one of those "impossible to really capture" shades. it is a bit out of my comfort zone, but it is a nice spring or summer polish.

formula and coverage are solid, nothing to complain about here, even after all those years.

picture polish aurora (limited edition)

i remember started drooling when i saw the five polishes in picture polish limited edition collection, and managed to snatch all of them. after altered state, ilusionist and gravity, the time has come for aurora.

ok, the tagline on the bottle says it all: wowza! it is advised to wear it over black polish, so i layered one coat of aurora over one coat of a england jane eyre.

it is said that this one has the most prominent colour shifting effect. it is extremely stunning, it really looks like galaxy nails. my coworkers asked me how i did it and how many polishes did i use :) the most prominent colours are turquoise type of green and purple, but blue and pink are clearly visible. it is glittery, it is shimmery, it is multichrome, simply put, it's pure magic!

the effect is so stunning, there is no need to tilt your fingers in order to see the colour change. i am so in love and i have to apologize for the massive ammount of pictures to follow.

opi ski teal we drop (swiss)

ski teal we drop was originally a part of swiss collection, but it got (rightfully) upgraded to the  permanent collection. opi's description: "there are mountains of color in this grey-green-blue".

i once mentioned that half of my wardrobe is green or olive green. well, another half is almost all teal! the shade of teal in "ski" is on the darker side of the teal hues, it is such a rich, nicelly pigmented creme that i can't get bored with. i think it will always be in my top polishes lists.
