Swatch: Catrice 110 Poison Me, Poison You!


Beautiful polish! And this come from someone who doesn't love purple!

This purple polish has such a beautiful magenta shimmer, it looks like you nails are covered with purple velvet.

If you have a chance grab this polish and bring it home!

Swatch: Catrice 150 Big Spender Wanted!


This pretty polish as a pearl finish. I tought I wasn't going to like this but I was surprised as how good it looks on me.

It's a dusty rose base with a gold shimmer and a pearl finish. Brush strokes are visible but not very much.

Swatch: Catrice 240 Sold Out For Ever


This color is very famous for being a dupe of Chanel Jade.

The color itself is very pretty, but I think it doesn't match well with my skintone.

Sold Out For Ever is a mint green with a very subtle shimmer. The color is pretty but it doesn't work for me.

Swatch: ZOYA Jo


I was finally able to find a ZOYA polish.
The only downside is that it wasnt' near my home and it was expensive, €14. It's probably the most expensive polish I own, but it's totally worth it.

Jo is a beutiful periwinkle color, in my pictures it came out a bit dark, with a subtle silver shimmer. Amazing!

Swatch: Sephora M03 Gothik


This nail polish in the bottle looks a little boring but on the nails is gorgeous.
It's a dark grey, almost gunmetal, metallic polish. It has a subtle silver shimmer that makes it really bright.
The brush strokes aren't very visible when it's dry.

It reminded me of China Glaze Awaken (one of my favorite!) but after a quick comparision it's obvious that they are just distant relatives.
See comparion below!


Here a comparision between China Glaze "Awaken" and " Sephora "Gothik".

Swatch: Sephora P05 Violet Amethyst


This is a dark bordeaux, almost vampy, polish. It has gold, magenta and violet glitter.
Under direct light it's a really pretty color but in normal light the glitter are almost invisible and it look like a normal vampy creme.

Swatch: LAYLA Ceramic Effect No.24


This Ceramic Effect polishes are not available in shops near my home.
I was able to buy them because they were free samples with a magazine.
The magazine was just €1.70 and since this polishes are usually €7.60 it was an amazing deal.
There were three colors available and I'm going to show you all of them.

This is no.24 called Verde Acquarello / Green Watercolor.
This is a light aqua color with gold shimmer.
I have to say that this is my least favorite color out of the three.
I really liked it in the bottle but on the nails it looked boring, probably it doesn't go well with my skintone.
It's also very sheer and it needs at least three coat. (In the pictures I made two and there is VNL).

Swatch: LAYLA Ceramic Effect No.12


This Ceramic Effect polishes are not available in shops near my home.
I was able to buy them because they were free samples with a magazine.
The magazine was just €1.70 and since this polishes are usually €7.60 it was an amazing deal.
There were three colors available and I'm going to show you all of them.

This color is called Fango /Mud.
The name is very appropriate because in the bottle it really looks like mud.
On the nails you can see a subtle pink / magenta shimmer that makes this color really pretty. (You can see the shimmer well in the picture above that make it looks purple in the bottle).
I like this color and since I don't have anything similar I'm very happy about it.

Swatch: LAYLA Ceramic Effect No.06


This Ceramic Effect polishes are not available in shops near my home.
I was able to buy them because they were free samples with a magazine.
The magazine was just €1.70 and since this polishes are usually €7.60 it was an amazing deal.
There were three colors available and I'm going to show you all of them.

The first color I'm going to show you is no.06 called Rosso Puro / Pure Red.
It's a beautiful deep red creme and is super shiny. It's not very opaque, the pictures are two coats but three would be better.
I really love it (I'm wearing it as a full mani!) and is probably my favorite out of the three shades.

Swatch: essence METALLICS No.02 COPPER RULEZ!


This is a magnetic polish from the new essence limited edition METALLICS.
While the polish is wet you can put a magnet close to the nails and it will create beautiful nuances.

I absolutely love this color, is very unique and even if it's a fall color it really attract the attention.
The formula is really nice, application is smooth and it's very opaque. I applied just a thick coat in the pictures.

The price is the best part, just €2.29 each.
