My Hungary Haul

Hi girls!

I was in Hungary for five days over Christmas, and man did I buy a lot of polish. It was so cheap there - it was impossible to say no. :D I have sorted them all out, photographed them and named them, all for you. ♥

Here they are:

Aden Cosmetics

This brand doesn't name their polishes, and they don't give them numbers either. So from left to right it's a magenta/purple glitter, a metallic light blue, a purple glitter and a red/silver glitter. These were ridiculously cheap!

Be-Yu: 326, 329. Miss Sporty: 060, 313, 311.

I already knew Be-Yu from last time I was in Germany, and I like the brand.

I bought a dark shimmery blue and a dark shimmery purple. 

Miss Sporty is new to me - the polishes are: an greenish blue, a very dark purple and a foily silver.

Catrice: Alluring Night, Forget me not,  I Wear My Sunglasses At Night, After Eight.

These are my first Catrice polishes. I've heard so much good about them, so I chose these four: A dark blue, a glittery purple, a black with various colours of shimmer and a dark green. They all look beautiful.

Glitter polishes from Claire: Minis: Purple, red, blue and pink. Normal sizes: Green and pink.

Can you tell that I'm a glitter addict? The mini bottles were a set of six - I already gave the gold and silver glitter away. The others are purple, red, blue, magenta, green and another purple. All glitters.

Lovely: None of these polishes has names or numbers on them.

Lovely is another brand I've never heard of before. I'm looking forward to trying them though, and if they're not like they look, I'll use them for frankenpolishes. :D

Essence: Stamp me! Silver, Time for romance, Choose me!, Where's the party?

Essence! I'm so sad that I don't have access to Essence polishes in Denmark. I went crazy, and bought a whole lot of them...

Here's silver stamping polish, a brownish pink with glitters, a blueish green with glitters and a green/purple duochrome. 

Essence toppers: Circus Confetti, It's purplicious!, Hello Holo, It's purplicious, Vampire's: Hunt me if you can!

More Essence polishes, toppers. 

Multicoloured, purple, holographic, pink/purple and black with glitter.

I'm puzzled that two of them have got the same name even though they're clearly not the same colour...?!

Essence nail art twins: Edward, Blair, Julia, Gabriella.

I would have bought the entire set of Essence twins, but these were the only ones available.

Flormar: U06, U26, 431, U13.

Flormar. Never heard of it before. But the colours look so pretty!

NYX: Pink Avenue, Max Factor: Extra Glitter, Blue Energy, Silver.

I am all excited about the NYX flakie and the top glitter polish from Max Factor. The blue is so vibrant looking and I thought the little charcoal would be fun to play with.

NYC: Disco Ball and Lights-Camera-Glitter. Maybelline: Electric Blue. Manhattan: 78S

My first NYC polishes, silver glitter and pink/blue glitter. And two pretty blues from Maybelline and Manhattan.

s-he: 290, 110, base coat, 280, 255.

S-he. Another brand that's completely new to me. But pretty indeed! :)

So, that was the huge haul I filled my poor suitcase with. 

What do you think?
Are there any of them you'd like to see before the others, or...?

New Swedish polishes

Hi girls!

I went to Sweden to shop some Christmas presents recently, and obviously I had to buy a bit of nail polish too, now that I was there. 

I bought two Isadoras and three Viva la Divas. They're both Swedish brands. 

From left to right: Black Galaxy, Beetle Green, 121, 72 and 70.

Here are the three Viva la Divas. The picture is blurry because then it's easier to see the colours and the glitter. I don't know why they give them numbers instead of names, I think that's really silly. I prefer names to numbers. However, nr.121 is a very shimmery deep purple, 72 is a silver holographic glitter, and 70 is a clear base with turquoise and green glitter.

Number 121, 72 and 70.

Here's a close up of the Isadoras. Black galaxy to the left is a black base with all colours of holographic glitter, and beetle green is exactly what the name implies, a dark green with a foil finish.

Black Galaxy and Beetle Green

I also picked up a couple of Maybellines. Here's number 753, a shimmery light green with a tint of gold, and number 152A, a midnight blue with shimmer. 

MNY: 753 and 152A

The last one I bought was an OPI. I'm not usually a big fan, but "Meep meep meep" from the Muppets collection was simply too gorgeous to miss. She's wine red and packed with shimmer. 

OPI: Meep meep meep

That's it for this time. I did visit Make Up Store and eyed their polishes, but my Visa was overheated at that point. :D
