Different Dimension – Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty

10
Here’s my first indie polish, Different Dimension Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty. I love Big Bang Theory and I just had to get this polish for it’s name too. This is milky grey jelly with different size white, grey and holographic silver hexglitter. The polish lives up to it’s name and the result is soft and smooth, sandwich effect-y finish.

Polish itself is high quality, a little bit on the thicker side but applies very well. The larger glitter laid very flat on the nail and you can’t feel the edges through the top coat. I love that! Glitter came out of the bottle well after I kept it upside down for a bit and rolled it a couple of times before applying each coat. I also let the coats dry in between the application so the glitter didn’t start moving with the next coat. Next I’m going to try layering this with white, grey or baby blue polish. I’m very happy with my first indie purchase :)

On this mani I used two coats of base coat, three coats of Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty and Inm Out The Door Fast Drying Top Coat. Dry time for three coats was very fast with Inm top coat.

I ordered my polish from here.

 

NARS Zulu (new version)

3

Been a long time again since I wrote my last blog post. Seems I have absolutely no time for my nail addiction at the moment. Maybe spring, sunshine and longer days will fix that :)

NARS Zulu is a nail polish legend of some sort. Back in the days when it was discontinued if you could even find a bottle of Zulu, it cost you an arm and a leg on eBay. NARS brought Zulu back in a limited edition collection of popular discontinued shades and of course I took an opportunity to get myself a bottle of the green greatness too. As you might know, I’m a sucker for green

Application was good and two coats was enough for my short nails. Under a bright light tips are somewhat visible so for longer nails you might want to add a third coat. Dry time was pretty fast with Seche Vite. I did this mani yesterday and the tip wear you see in the photo is mostly cos I was in a hurry and applied Seche Vite too thickly.

My nails are still short and not an even length due to the lack of time and basically I’ve just been too lazy to take care of my hands. I think this is the first time I have color polish on my nails this year…

In this mani I used: Nail Tek II x2, Zulu x2 and Seche Vite.

 

Ruby Pumps for Christmas!

This is my actual Christmas manicure, China Glaze’s stunning Ruby Pumps. This is the most christmas-y polish I own. I meant to do a little Konading too but i ran out of time. Oh well, Ruby Pumps is just perfect on it own :)

 

OPI – Here Today…Aragon Tomorrow

5

Stunning dark green Here Today…Aragon Tomorrow from OPI Fall/Winter 2009 España collection. Really dark green shade that looks almost black in some lights. This polish has a tiny bit of shimmer in it but so little that it’s almost impossible to see on the nails. This is a really beautiful green and again it’s a must have to all you green nail polish lovers out there!

Here Today…Aragon Tomorrow is really thin in the bottle and the application wasn’t best possible. It was surprisingly see-through on the first coat but the second coat smooth it down a lot. After the third coat all was perfectly smooth and it dried pretty fast with a little help from Poshe.

In this mani I used: Nail Tek II Intensive Therapy x2, Here Today…Aragon Tomorrow x3 and Poshe on top.

 

Color Club – Fast Woman

2

I couldn’t decide which one of my new polishes to test first so I chose one that I bought a couple of months back, Color Club Fast Woman. Fast Woman was too dark for my summer mood so I wanted to save it for more appropriate time of year. This is a perfect shade for fall. Deep red polish that doesn’t look like black in any light. Sunlight brings out the brilliant red shade this polish has. Vampy perfection in a bottle!

Fast Woman is well pigmented, quite thin in the bottle and it applies very well. Two coats was enough for an opaque result. Poshe also dried this one really fast. Good Color Club quality.

In this mani I used: OPI NNS x2, Fast Woman x2 and Poshe Super Fast Drying TopCoat. I took the photo in direct sunlight and the redness of it comes out real well. When there’s less light the shade is deeper and darker.

Like most likely most of you, I have also seen the swatches of the new Color Club Wild At Heart Fall 2009 Collection. I just can’t wait to get my hands on it. Two new holos too!! :D

Thank you Color Club for yet another great collection!!
