It's no secret that I love nude polishes! And that's why I was really excited when I heard Estée Lauder would launch a collection of 6 polishes for spring 2013.

I have Diabolique and So Vain to show you!

Diabolique is a beautiful dark chocolat creme. Sincerely, I can't have enough of this polish. I love it so much. It's such a gorgeous and yummy color and its formula was perfect. I used 2 easy coats to get a smooth and opaque look. I am sure I will wear it a lot!

So Vain is rosy beige shimmery polish. It's the perfect polish if you want somthing very discreet and clean. Application was also perfect, as for all the Estée Lauder polishes I've tried so far. I used 2 coats.

I so enjoyed wearing these 2 shades that I had to find another way to wear them together and that's how I came with this nail art. Base color is So Vain, and the stripes were dones with Diabolique and Absinthe. Absinthe is from the Heavy Petals collection, which I showed you HERE.

The other polishes part of this new Estée Lauder collection are the following.

This collection will be available in April 2013.

Bonus!

If you follow me on Facebook, you will have already seen how I wore Diabolique. I did an accent nail with Candeo Dive Bomb, which is a made of teal, copper, and brown glitters. Teal and brown go well together, don't they?

And finally, I also wanted to congratulate Hannah, the winnder of the shampoo.ch contest I held on my blog a few weeks ago (see post here).

Hello!!

How do you like sandwich manicures? I personnally like them a lot because they allow you to wear crazy glitters in a softer way!

For this manicure I used Candeo Colors South St., OPI Don't Touch My Tutu!, and Catrice Have An Ice Day. I started with 3 coats of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu!, then I applied 1 thin coat of Catrice Have An Ice Day, followed by 1 thin coat of Candeo Colors South St.. Finally I added 2 coats of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu! to sandwich the glitters from South St.

I added Have An Ice Day to create some tiny sparkles in the background of my nails but eventually they didn't show up in the final result. I should have used only 1 final coat of Don't Touch My Tutu! to see them but I prefered the look with 2 coats to tone down the glitters.

Hello!

I have another Candeo polishes to show. This is Dolce!

Candeo Dolce is described by Melinda, the creator of Candeo polishes as follows.

So let's go to the pictures!

I won't talk too much because I have a ton  of pictures to show you! This is what I received during the month of April!

I've got another Candeo polish to show you today. This is Orchid, a gorgeous fuchsia jelly packed with a multitude of glitters.

Orchid is described as

On the pictures below, I used 2 coats of Candeo - Orchid over bare nails (with base coat of course, and top coat).

Final verdict: Oh.my.god! This is my 2nd Candeo polish and I love it as much as the 1st one I've tried, Sprouse (you can see my review of this polish here). I love them so much that I've already passed another order!! Can you belive that on the pictures I didn't wear any base color. So what you see is Orchid by itself! It's a fuchsia jelly that is opaque in 2 coats. In fact, it was nearly opaque in 1 coat. I was blown away when I applied it and realized that it's a jelly but with a good opacity!! That might seem contradictory but here it is really the case! And because it is a jelly, the glitters are not eaten by the base but you can still see them very well!! Application was really easy. You can get a good amount of glitters on the brush, no need to go fishing for them and they spead well on the nails! This polish is really a treasure. Dare I say I want to lick my nails all the time when I'm wearing it because it's so yummy? oh yes, I dare!!

Candeo polishes can be purchased from CandeoColors etsy store. The regular size bottles (15 mL) retail for $8. There are also mini bottles. Candeo polishes are 3 free. You can follow CandeoColors on Facebook.

OMG, be ready to see a gorgeous polish! Do you know the brand Candeo? It's an indie brand led by the lovely Melinda who creates amazing polishes!

On the pictures below, I used one thin coat of Sprouse over 3 coats of Essence 04 Ice Eyes Baby from their limited edition "Crystalliced". It's a very light baby blue color. You can see my review for this polish here.

Final verdict: wow wow wow! I am super excited about this polish! I first thought it would be too similar to Lynnderella - Connect The Dots but it's different by several aspects. First, it has royal blue hex glitters than can shift to teal when they reflect the light, and dark silver or gunmetal hex glitters. And secondly, what I find super pretty and what made me wowed when I first applied it on my nails is its very nice holographic shimmer! It gives so much dimension to the polish! And those blue glitters are just to die for!

Moreover, the application of Sprouse is super easy. I was really (!!) impressed by the quality of this polish. You absolutely don't have to fish for the glitters. You can actually easily get a large amount on the brush (cf the amount on the nail on my last picture). On other nails, I wipped the brush on the bottle neck to get less glitters (cf the last but one picture). I finally added one coat of top coat to get a smooth look. The glitters are not bumpy by the way. Melinda really knows what she is doing and does it in a very clever way, I think, because the formulation of this polish is such a dream!

I'm super happy with this polish and I might well need a back-up bottle because I think I will use it a lot!!
