My newbies #1

Hy all! :) I’m really tired from not getting enough sleep, but I want to do this post as the last thing I do today– I want to show you some new nail polishes I got recently. I know I’m a nail polish hoarder, but painting my nails and watching my painted nails gives me such joy, color makes me happy :) When I was a student, I used to be a marker hoarder, all of my notes were in all colors, it was much easier to study that way and I kind of felt like a kid coloring a coloring book, it motivated me :)) I still have my drawers full of paper in all colors, empty notebooks, pens and markers, but I don’t need them anymore since I graduated. I guess I’m compensating that with nail polish now :)))
Anyway, let’s get down to business. First two polishes are from my boyfriend :))) He bought them for me when he was in Germany, I was so happy :)))) Even though my nail polish obsession seems funny to him, he supports me, isn’t that sweet? :))))) Check out the beauties of P2:



He said he didn’t know which ones to get :D so he took the ones that were on the shelf with the sign “NEW” :D These are 532 Blue’s brothers and 544 My place or yours? They are very dark but shine in the sun :)))
The second one is my first OPI! Yes, I’ve bought an OPI! :D It was on sail, all of the shatters are on sail, but to me it is still expensive, it was 40% off, 7,8€, but I’ve bought it the day I received my first paycheck ^ ^ Here’s OPI Turqoise shatter:



The third one has been on my wish list for a long time and a dear friend of mine bought it for me when she was in London. When I wanted to pay for it, she insisted it was a gift from her :)) <3 I’m talking about Barry M Indigo:



Next ones are the ones that caught my eye in the drugstore: Depend shatter polish nr. 5013 – purple with golden shimmer and Depend polish nr. 313 – a violet polish with green shimmer:



Also bought with my first paycheck was H&M polish “Oh la la” – a coral shade with golden shimmer. You can only see a hint of a shimmer on this photo, I’m sorry for that :/



And I’ve chosen only one polish from Essence’s LE Class of 2013, the blue one named Rules of being cool:

I really have to stop myself from buying most of the stuff from limited editions, because I know I already own so many beautiful things – this applies both to polishes and make up (but I did buy two eyeshadow pens from this collection, 01 Want to be my freshman and 03 Blues of being cool, and I really like them, they stay intact for hours on my fairly oily lids). I’m so proud of myself for not buying anything from Catrice’s Big city life LE yesterday, and I had a full rack of stuff in front of me… it was all so pretty, but for every eye shadow, blush or polish I could remember having similar shades at home (and using them only from time to time).

Ahh, now I can’t wait to paint my nails with these polishes! :))) Do you own any of these as well? How do you like them?

Depend magnetic polish #6006

Ahhhh, I had time to try this one out! :)))) This is the first time I applied magnetic polish as a whole manicure, I have some Essence magnetic polishes but I’ve never been able to do a nice pattern – maybe the problem was in the magnet, I’ll have to try again with a Depend one. Anyway, check this beauty out!

And two pictures outdoors, the sun was struggling to shine through the clouds:

 

I am dying to know what it would look like in the sunshine…

I’ve put two layers on, the second one is magnetized. I didn’t put any top coat on yet because I tried putting it on my right hand and it smudged the design. I’ve read that the magnetic polish has to be completely dry before applying top coat, maybe I’ll try it later on my left hand as well. I really like the formula, it applies really nicely.

Do you own Depend magnetic polishes, do you like it?

Depend holographic polish nr. 2033 Ocean blue

Yes, I found time to try on my Depend holographic polish Ocean blue and I love it!!

A photo indoors with flash:

 

And two photos in the sunlight:

 

 

The formula is a bit funny in my opinion, it is thick enough, but quite sheer if you put in on in thin layers. Two medium layers would probably suffice, but I put three, because I painted too unevenly – I’ll know next time. And because there is only 5 ml of polish in the bottle, I’m thinking of using this polish for layering.

What do you think? :)))) 

A mini Depend haul – magnetic and holographic polishes

I have to show this!! I am so giddy, I’m like a little child! (IT’S SO FLUFFY, I’M GONNA DIE!! :DDD) I went to take a peek at our DM drugstore, and I saw the new collections from Depend, magnetic and holographic polishes! :drool:

Here are the pictures from the official Depend website:

 

All of the colors!!! I want them all!!! :droooool:

…of course… not possible ;) I’m on a very tight budget, so I chose to buy just one color of each, the price was 3,45€ per 5 ml polish. I have to say the promo pictures don’t do them justice, you have to see all the colors for yourselves, some of them are really really interesting and unusual! So here are my beauties, magnetic polish nr. 6006 and holographic nr. 2033 called Ocean Blue:

 

….aaahhhhhh, the beauty! :PPPPP I pressed the magnet to the bottle of the magnetic polish, you can see the pattern in the picture. Can’t wait to paint them on, hopefully I’ll have time to do that soon…

Are you as freaked out about these polishes as I am? :))))
