Swatch spam: BeYu, NYX Girls, Alessandro, Essence and Debby Colorplay

This Swatch Spam post brings you swatches from the vault of BeYu 246, NYX Girls Complex Purple, Alessandro Peppermint Patti, Essence Mermaid's Secret and Debby Colorplay 190 

BeYu 246:

BeYu 246 is a beautiful bold and strong green. My ridges shone through when using the flash, so this is 3 coats, normally 2 coats would be enough.

NYX Girls NGP147 Complex Purple:

NYX Girls NGP147 Complex Purple is a medium purple with a silver shimmer. Two easy coats are enough, but for these photos I did three without a top coat. Good self leveling ability and dry time.

Alessandro Peppermint Patti: 

Alessandro Peppermint Patti is a pastel blue cream. This is 2 easy coats without a top coat.

Essence Mermaid's Secret:

Essence 01 Mermaid’s Secret – Aquatix coll. – is a red toned purple loaded with really pretty blue shimmer. This is 2 easy coats without a top coat.

Debby Colorplay 190:

Do you remember THIS lovely nail mail from the sweet *Ky* aka Chiara from Il MioBeauty Case?
Debby Color Play 190 was one of the polishes! It’s a dark blurple, slightly duochrome with gorgeous blue and pink shimmer/flakies that makes it very interesting to look at. This is 2 easy coats without a top coat.

This post brings you swatches of 5 random polishes: Hedy’s oke.doke Purple Nurple, Alessandro Lucky Lavender, Deborah Milano Mat 04, BeYu 142 and W7 Metallic Jupiter.

Hedy’s oke.doke Purple Nurple 

Hedy’s oke.doke nail colour in Purple Nurple is a really beautiful eggplant purple with a pretty shimmer. It is easy to work with, and this is 2 coats – and I chose to use a top coat for these photos to enhance it even more. 

Alessandro Lucky Lavender:

Alessandro Lucky Lavender is a lavender – slightly periwinkle-leaning cream. This is 2 easy coats without a top coat...

Deborah Milano Sence Tech 100% Mat 04:

Do you remember the unexpected parcel from Vedrana? If not have a look right HERE!

Deborah Milano Sence Tech 100% Mat 04 was one of the polishes. It's a dusty mint with a silky matte finish. This is 2 easy coats – of course without a top coat...

BeYu 142:

BeYu 142 is a pretty pastel blue very close to Chanel Coco Blue except for the shimmer. This is 3 coats without a top coat...

W7 Metallic Jupiter 89: 

W7 Metallic Jupiter 89 is a dark duochrome loaded with shimmer shifting between purple and teal with flashes of copper. This is 2 coats with a top coat...

Swatch spam: Alessandro, Barry M, Vogue, 2 x Essence

Five random polishes: Alessandro Deep Ocean Blue, Barry M 304 Mint Green,  Vogue Cereza 18, Essence 03 With X’s and O’s and Essence 03 Crazy in love.

Alessandro Deep Ocean Blue:

Alessandro Deep Ocean Blue is a cobalt blue cream with crelly tendencies. My ridges shone through when using the flash, so this is 3 coats without a top cat, normally 2 coats would be absolutely enough. 

Barry M 304 Mint Green:

Barry M 304 Mint Green is not exactly my idea of a mint, it’s more a spring-green and mint mix, but very pretty. This is 2 easy coats without a top coat.

Vogue Cereza 18:

Vogue Cereza 18 is a gorgeous raspberry/cherry/berry magenta cream. It’s very opaque in one coat, but this is 2 easy coats without a top coat.

Essence 03 With X’s and O’s:

Essence 03 With X’s and O’s was retired a long time ago. It was one of the hugs & kisses duos and sold with the glitter 03 Crazy in love. It’s a pretty lavender cream, very opaque in one coat, but this is 2 easy coats without a top coat.

Essence 03 Crazy in love:

Essence 03 Crazy in love was retired a long time ago. It was one of the hugs & kisses duos and sold with the cream 03 With X’s and O’s. It’s a lavender and pink glitter in different sizes and it has some pretty holo hearts. It was easy to apply, but it took a bit of fishing to get the hearts out of the bottle. This is 1 coat over it’s duo mate 03 Crazy in love, and I added a top coat.

The Never Ending Haul Story - part 1

Today there is no Micro Painting Monday - and I'm still not over my flue...
I have promised myself to get better at taking photos when I get new polishes, because many of you love haul posts. Some might think they are lazy posts, but I really enjoy reading other bloggers haul posts - so here is my first "recent" haul post, and that typically means within the last few months - that way I don't have to feel to embarrassed if/when I get a bit too enthusiastic... ;)

CLICK on the photos to enlarge...!

In April my dear friend from Rainbowify Me shopped these for me in London, but I never postet about it - and these polishes are SO lovely that I need to, thanks my friend :)

 These beauties arrived from Pretty Polish in Holland - actually it was a wile back...

 

This lovely bunch arrived from Maquillalia in Spain, they ship world wide and have both Catrice and Essence at a slightly more expensive price than the shops I visit in Germany, and unfortunately their shipping is expensive... But if you didn't find Catrice and Essence, that you really wanted, it's a good place to search. I also bought my first Hean and Accessorize - and in the parcel was a free nail polish, samples and candy!
The Close ups are of the  polishes I haven't yet swatched, Snow Jam you find HERE, and Catrice Candy Shock coll you find HERE.

By the Danish shop essenze.dk I found these 3 Ciate's from my wish list at a discount price, I don't know if I were lucky, but two days later they were at a normal price...

I bought my first 3 Gina Tricot from Gina Tricot - mostly known for their fashion range, but they also have beauty products, and I have a pair of Gina Tricot glasses too...

I fell in love with the Nars Collobaration with Pierre Hardy collection and bouth the set Sharks, and 2 others jumped in the shopping chart basically without my knowledge ;)

I was lucky to find two lovely MAC polishes, my very first - I found them both on Ebay at a reasonable price, actually Mischieveous Mint was very inexpensive, only $6.50...

 

 

I had fallen in love with the LCN Blossom Sorbet set, the first 4 from the left - and I think we have a dupe on our hands when looking at #4-5 ;)
I shopped in a to me new shop - Beauty Lounge in Germany, a bit expensive in many ways. I also bought my first Alessandro's and Malu Wilz - in the parcel there also were candy and free samples not shown of the photo...

Will "The Never Ending Haul Story" continue? Will Maria buy more polish? Have she bought more polish? Does she have enough - or doesn't she? What's wrong with her? Are you confused?
You won't be after the next episode of The Never Ending Haul Story....;)
