Today I have swatches of a new to me indie brand! It's Crazy Polish Lady, a Portuguese brand created by the lovely Sofia.

I have 6 polishes to show you and they come from 3 different collections.

 

The first collection created by Sofia is called "Colors are the music of my life" and is made of jellies packed  with holographic microglitters. I will show you Blood on the Dancefloor and Cosmic Love.

 

The second collection, "Memories in Colors", is inspired by Disney movies and is made of different jellies with metallic glitters. I will show you A whole new World (inspired by Aladdin) and Reflection (inspired by Mulan).

 

A finally the third collection is called "Summer is Up" is also made of jellies with metallic glitters. Here I have Another Mojito, please! and Summer Love to share with you.

 

 

 

 

And here is ManGlaze ILF! I've had this polish in my untried for a very long time and now that I have it on my nails, I have no idea why I didn't try it before. It's such a gorgeous polish! really like it~

ManGlaze sady doesn't ship internationally but I had the chance that a friend bought it for me! Thank you, Tracy!

 

 

Final verdict: Sincerely I'm in love with both piCture pOlish Mardi Gras and ManGlaze ILF! Mardi Gras is a very fun glitter polish but at the same time, I think it's still very wearable, not too crazy looking and it can fit in a lot of different situtations. I love the mixture of teal and fuchsia and the silver glitters add more shine to the look. I used 1 easy coat of it.

And ILF is just to die for. Oh! did I tell you, I'm in love with such non-flat matte polishes! and all ManGlaze polishes I've tried so far are super easy to apply!

Hello!!

I have a few Lancôme products I love to share with you today. As you certainly already know, this year  Lancôme launched a new line of polishes, called Vernis in Love, with enhenced formula and a new brush. I've already showed you Bleu de Flore in a previous post and told you how much I love this polish! Today, I'll show you 2 other Lancôme polishes!

 

 

Hello!!

I shared some pictures of Shimmer polishes some days ago and told you it was part 1. So today, I'll show you the other polishes I got. If you missed my previous post, you can click here to see it.

Again, I used only 1 coat of glitter over a base color. If you want more opacity, you will need three coats to get full opactiy. Each polish is packed with tons of glitters!

I have another polish from the new "The Legends collection" by A-England to show you! And it's St George, a gorgeous dark teal with holographic particles!

Final verdict: This color is so deep we can nearly lose ourselves in it! It's a really deep and dark teal with hologrpahic particles. The holo effect is not very strong, you can only see it in full sun or under a strong light but I think its function in this polish is not to display a rainbow on your nails but rather to create a trimdimentional and complex shade. This dark teal reminds me so much of medieval dresses made of green velvet (cf picture below). I've always dreamt of wearing such a gorgeous dress and when I wear St George, I have the impression I'm wearing such a elegant costume! St George is super pigmented. You will need only 1 coat to get full opacitiy and its application is flawless. It dries quite glossy!

I had an enormous and glorious surprise when I came back home tonight: 4 polishes from A England The Legends Collection were waiting for me!! :D

A England is really getting one of my favorite brands because Adina's polishes are simply gorgeous and because they are inspired from great legends and this brings such a classy atmosphere that you have the impression each polish is a real gem.

The Legend Collection is inspired by the story of Saint George and the dragon. This collection is a holographic collection!

I can't resist to post some bottle pictures before showing you them on my nails!

Saint George is a gorgeous deep teal holographic polish. The color is really deep and powerful, just as the knight George in the legend.

Princess Sabra is a breathtaking golden taupe holograpic polish in the bottle. However on my nails (pictures to come soon), I see it as a green olive with a golden base. It's really stunning and beautiful! This color is really unique and difficult to describe! I've never seen such a polish!!

The second name of this polish is Tristam Eyes, in reference to Adina's lovely kitty, Tristam.

And finally here is Order Of The Garter, an ocean blue holographic polish. It's really sparkly with a nice purple/pink shimmer and I've got the impression when I turn the bottle in my hands I can see some green. We'll see that in more details when I try it on my nails!

I'm so happy with these polishes. They already look amazing on the pictures I saw however they look 1000 times more beautiful IRL! And I cannot wait to try them all. Now I have a Princess Sabra on my nails and I'm in love! Full post will come tomorrow or Thursday so stay tuned!

Multicolored flakies are bumping up on the net and are becoming super popular. A lot of brands are now making multicolored flakies,e.g. Hits Speciallità with Lambada, Ludurana with Arco-Iris and Relâmpago, Finger Paints, with Asylum and Twisted, piCture pOlish with Festival, and  Nubar with Opulent Pearl that I've just seen on Scrangie's blog.

So I decided to show you Ludurana - Relâmpago today!

Relâmpago is a charcoal base jelly polish with green, blue, teal, orange, yellow flakies!

Ludurana is a Brazilian brand that also carries holo and multichrome polishes. I've already tried 1 holo and 1 multichrome from them and was really impressed by their quality! This is a very nice brand and it's 3 Free!

Final verdict: Relâmpago has multicolored flakies in a charcoal base. Concerning the flakies, there are a lot of different colors (green, blue, teal, yellow, orange) and the size is not the same for every flake. The application was very nice. There was no dragging problem. It was just perfect! The flakies seem to be part of the base polish because the overall look is so smooth. And I have the impression I have precious stones on my nails :D

I also painted 2 coats of  Relâmpago on a fake nails with no base coat so that you can see the effect of the charcoal base.

In fact, the pigmentation of the base is very light so that it doesn't change the base color of the polish you layer Relâmpago over (see the pictures below).

And here is Ski Teal We Drop (OPI) on its own (2 coats).

Purchase info:
Ludurana polishes can be purchased from Llarowe. Each bottle contain 8 mL. Ludurana Flakies cost $7 each. Don't forget, Ludurana has also holographic and multichrome polishes!

I wanna fly into the space today and Catrice "Out of Space collection" is just too perfect for that.

This is a Limited Edition (Summer 2011) that consists of 4 nail polishes. Three of them are dark green:

and the 4th polish, My Milkyway, is a "colour changing top coat" according to Catrice.

I think it's better to add only one really thin coat of My Milkyway otherwise your nails would look too white and the underneath color would be lost under My Milkyway. On the contrary, a thin coat will give some sparkles (blue, white, silver and pink) to your nails but you will still be able to see the polish you have underneath.

Houston’s Favorite, is a very shimmery teal-green polish. It reminds me of a peacock. Application was excellent and very easy, it's already opaque in 1 coat but I did 2 to even it out. It also works for stamping.

As you can see on the above pictures, My Milkyway add some shimmer and sparkle to the polish.

Moonlight Express is a very dark green with some pretty shimmer in it. Application was also excellent. It was also opaque in 1 coat but I used 2 to even it out.

I added a closeup view of Moonlight Express so that you can see the green in this dark shade better. You can also see it's a shimmery polish. Very pretty dark polish.

I've already reviewed Beam Me Scotty! here. So please, click on the link for a full review of this polish.

Final verdict: I think Catrice did a very good job with this collection. It's original and very interesting. The shades are really pretty, they are dark but with a lot of shimmer which prevents them from being boring. They represents the mysterious space very well. I was really surprised with Beam Me Scotty! because the semi matte finish is just gorgeous. This was a very nice surprise. I don't wear black polishes often but Moonlight Express sets itself apart because it's really glossy and sparkly. Houston's Favorite is as a very nice peacock colored polish. Finally, My Milkyway is much better than I tought it would. When I looked at the bottle, I thought it would be too opaque but when applied in thin coats, it gives extra shimmer to the underneath polish and thus creates a nice galaxy mani.

Application was really good for all the polishes of this collection and they were nicely opaque.

Which one is your favorite? Do you like wearing dark polishes?

OMG! I've got to present you the polish I'm wearing today because I find it totally stunning.

This is "Beam Me Scotty!" from the new Catrice collection called "Out of Space". This is a limited edition.

Beam Me Scotty! (I love the name lol) is a dark green/teal with a silver base tone. Sometimes it looks more dark teal and sometimes more dark green...depending on the lightening. And what is the most surprising about this polish is that it dries matte. It's not a true matte but a shimmery matte, exactly like OPI Suede finish. 

It's very opaque. You will only need 1 coat for full coverage (I used 2 because I'm not used to use only 1 coat). Application is super easy.

When you touch your nails, it feels like silk. I'ts really soft and smooth (like OPI Suede).

Another picture but without flash.

And finally I added a top coat and OMG again! I love it, too.

Final verdict: Beam Me Scotty! is a total winner. The color is great, the finish is amazing  (shimmery matte or Suede) and the application is a real dream. This polish is a  really must-have. I may have to buy a back-up bottle, something I hardly ever do.
