Dior Apparat 871, Les Rouges Or coll. Holiday 2011 swatches - Collaboration Saturday

On this Collaboration Saturday together with my friend Elena from PicturedTinsel I am today showing:

Dior Apparat 871 from the 2011 Holiday collection Les Rouges Or - it's a gorgeous warm-toned wine red with touch of rust and it has a beautiful golden shimmer, not as golden as the bottle leads you to think.
The formula is flawless and the dry time is good. You see 2 coats without a top coat.
På denne Collaboration Saturday sammen med min veninde Elena fra PicturedTinsel viser jeg i dag:
Dior Apparat 871 fra 2011 julekollektionen Les Rouges Or - det er en smuk warmtonet vinrød med et strejf af rust og den har et smukt gyldent shimmer, der ikke er så udtalt gylden som flasken kunne få en til at tro.
Lakken er let at arbejde med og tørretiden er god. Du ser her to lag uden toplak.

Electrifying Madness

The base color is Chanel Madness 333 - swatches HERE - and I sponged China Glaze Electrify along the cuticles and down. I painted my flowers with acrylic craft paint and top coated with Seche Vite.

Polka dots - Artsy Wednesday

The theme in this Artsy Wednesday is polka dots...

The base color is the grey Nars Galathée, swatched HERE, and I decided to spice it up with a few simple dots. I used Nars Fury (the purple) and Pretty Serious The Pink One swatched HERE – and the top coat is Seche Vite.

Temaet i denne Artsy Wednesday er prikker.

Chanel Madness 333 spring 2007 - swatches

Chanel Madness 333 – is a LE from spring 2007: Allegoria 331, Madness 333, Blanc Ceramic 335 and Noir Ceramic 337.
Madness is a dark red-brown, mostly chocolate brown, creme polish. It is highly pigmented, so 1 coat might be enough, but here you have two coats without a top coat – and look at that shine. The formula is perfect, the application is easy and the dry time is good!

Chanel Madness 333 – er en LE fra foråret 2007.

Madness er en mørk rød-brun, mest chokoladebrun, creme lak. Den er så velpigmenteret at et lag kan være nok, men her ser du den med 2 lag og uden toplak – og se hvor den skinner. Konsistensen er perfekt, let at lægge og tørretiden er god!

How do you feel about madness - at least the nail polish called Madness ;)
Later this week I'll show it with nail art!
Hvad synes du om galskaben - eller rettere sagt lakken Madness ;)
Senere på ugen viser jeg den med nail art!

China Glaze Monsters Ball Halloween 2013 coll: Bump In The Night swatches

OK, I'm no longer a virgin - aehm, I'm no longer a textured polish virgin ;)

China Glaze Bump in the Night is a black texture polish. I never was attracted to textured polishes, so this is my first ever...!
I read a review of this polish: "easy to work with, 1 coat and quick dry time" - so I knew it's now or never.
And all of the above is completely true!
So do I like to wear it?
It's not as terrible as I thought it would be, and my nails didn't feel trapped like they do when I wear a full-nail glitter mani - so who knows, I might wear it again, but I probably will not buy more textured polishes... ;)

Do you like texture polishes - and what do you think of China Glaze Bump In The Night?

Chanel Eclair 227, Holiday 2006 - swatches and comparisons

The Mondays before Christmas I'm going to show you some Chanel Holiday nail polishes. 
I already showed you: 2013/Rouge Rubis 677 - and the rest is 2012/Malice 637, 2010/Pulsion 547, 2011/Rouge Carat 587 and 2009/Trapeze 367...
Chanel Eclair 227 – is from the 2006 Holiday collection – I have found contradictive information of the possible rest of the collection, but Givre 229 probably also was part of the collection.

Éclair is a bronze-toned gold with a lot of shimmer. It is fairly opaque in one coat, but this is two without a top coat.

It’s easy to apply and not too prone to brush strokes. The dry time is good.

Mandagene før jul vil jeg vise nogle Chanel jule lakker. 
Jeg har allerede vist: 2013/Rouge Rubis 677 - og de andre er 2012/Malice 637, 2010/Pulsion 547, 2011/Rouge Carat 587 og 2009/Trapeze 367.
Chanel Eclair 227 – er fra julen 2006, og jeg har fundet modstridende oplysninger om de mulige andre lakker i kollektionen, men jeg er ret sikker på at Givre 229 også er en del af den.
Eclair er en bronzetonet guld med en masse shimmer. Den er fatisk dækkende i et lag, men her ser du 2 lag uden toplak.

What do you think of Eclair...?
