IsaDora - Silver Sky

Morning Lovelies,
I'm discovering some new brands, thanks to my Swedish friend Tracy who sent me a couple of local pretties. IsaDora is one of these brands and Silver Sky is the polish I'm showing you today. I love the bottle design and even more the polish in it! It is a dusty denim blue with tiny silver glassflecks. It has a great consistency and applies perfectly in two coats.
All swatches are without top coat.

Lynnderella - Snow Angel

Good afternoon lovelies!
Lynnderella is the first indie polish brand that I got last year. Snow Angel is a frosty base with white glitter of different sizes and shapes. I wore it a few times over white but never got to layer it over other colors. I decided to give a twist to my old mani and layered two coats of Snow Angel over Catrice Sold Out For Ever. It is very subtle, I wonder how it will look over black, it might pop more. What do you think of it?
All swatches are without top coat.

Catrice - Sold Out For Ever

Hello!
We continue with some Catrice swatches as today I'm wearing the beautiful Sold Out For Ever. This one had bubbles when I applied it (maybe because I shook the bottle too much) but I was able to even it out in two easy coats. I love the finish of this polish. It is a pastel mint creme with green shimmer. All pictures show two coats of Sold Out For Ever without top coat.

ASBMF #12: May Flowers!

Hey Lovelies!
Theme 12 of the ASBMF challenge is May flowers and I have for you an easy nail art inspired from Tartofraises YouTube tutorial. The trick is to be fast and not let the polish dry. I used two coats of OPI Planks A Lot as a base, and Icing Magenta, NYC Prince Street, and a Kleancolor silver nail art stripper to achieve this look. Hope you like it!

Catrice - Genius In The Bottle and zebra stamping!

Good morning!
I'm starting the day with a beautiful swap polish that I got from a NP friend in Sweden. Catrice is one of my favorite European brand and I love all of their polishes. Genius In The Bottle is a gold to green duochrome with metallic finish. It was a long lemming of mine and I'm so happy to finally get my hands on it (or get it on my hands lol) It was opaque in two coats and I didn't add any top coat because it has a nice glossy finish. Enjoy the pics!

K's Special Fridays #8 - Star Bites

Good afternoon lovelies!
Today's frankens were made out of raw materials that I bought on TKB Trading, the go to place for any indie polish maker. I was interested in the Star Bites collection after seeing it on More Nail Polish blog. I caved in and ordered a sample of Shanika Sun, Marinda Star, and Cherika Moon in order to make some cool color morphing top coats. According to TKB, the Star Bites are "extra bright, small glittery iridescent color additives which appear as a white, semi-irridescent powder until rubbed on the skin, or set against a dark color."
I love them! They have a multichrome glassfleck finish and the color shift is so strong.
The following recipe is for a 15 ml bottle: Luster base (you can get it from TKB) + 8 straw scoops of each pigment. I made them super pigmented so you might want to use less. All swatches show two coats of each polish over Sation Black, without top coat.

Glitter Gal Shade Shifters - Furnace Glow

Hello lovelies!
I have another Shade Shifters from Glitter Gal to show you and this one is right in my alley! I love warm toned colors so I was attracted to Furnace Glow and ordered it on Ninja Polish as soon as they got the new collection in. It also comes in a 15 ml bottle and applies nicely. I like both Shade Shifters that I own because they have a shiny finish and dry fast, so there is no need for top coat. All swatches show three coats of Furnace Glow by itself (index and ring finger) and one coat over Sation Black (middle finger and pinkie) without top coat. As you will see, there is not a big difference between wearing it by itself or over a dark color. It will flash from a warm gold/orange to copper/pink. Reminds me of a beautiful autumn. On to the pics!

Glitter Gal Shade Shifters - Daybreak

Hello peeps!
I have been waiting for this collection since Glitter Gal announced its launching a few months ago. It is an Australian brand that was known to me because of the beautiful holographic polishes they make, but now they are stepping up with multichromes or Shade Shifters. This collection is described as "a metallic shade shifting / changing finish with intense primary color effect which reflects a different colour spectrum when viewed at a different angle." I jumped on the occasion and bought Daybreak on Ninja Polish when it was announced on their website that a one week promotion was going on this collection. It comes in a 15 ml bottle and applies nicely. All swatches show three coats of Daybreak by itself (index and ring finger) and one coat over Sation Black (middle finger and pinkie) without top coat. As you will see, there is a big difference.
By itselft, Daybreak flashes from pink to a greyish purple, but layered over black it goes from pink to purple to blue with more vibrancy in colors.

Ludurana - Fascinante (pics heavy)

Hello again!
My favorite multichrome is Ludurana Fascinante. It wears its name pretty well ! This polish just reminds me of a beautiful sunset, I love it!. I will repeat myself but I am amazed at the quality of all the Brazilian polishes I own and I'm so lucky and thankful to the nail blogging community for that! discovering new brands and creating lemmings lol! I got this one from Llarowe and wore three coats by itself without top coat.

Ludurana - Emocionante (pics heavy)

Hello!
I bought this beauty on Llarowe back in November 2011, it was my first multichrome polish and this is the second time I'm wearing it :) Emocionante is part of the Ludurana Aurora Boreal collection and the color shift is amazing : from gold to copper to purple to blue! I wore it by itself and it was opaque in three coats with a glossy finish, so no need for top coat :) Oh yeah this collection of multichromes is scented :) How thoughtful is that? On to the pics!
