KIKO 245 'Rubino Scuro Perlato'

Hi again! Today's polish is KIKO 245 'Rubino Scuro Perlato', which translates to 'Dark Pearly Ruby'.

It's a dark plum base with an amazing gold/red shimmer that sparkles in the sunlight. Application was smooth and easy and so was the formula. The swatches are 3coats as usual and top coat. :)




Buon pomeriggio! Lo smalto di oggi è KIKO 245 'Rubino Scuro Perlato', che consiste in una base scura color prugna ed un bellissimo effetto shimmer rosso/dorato.
Al solito, 3 passate + top coat. ;)

Zoya Ivanka

Hi ladies, today's polish is the stunning Zoya Ivanka from the Summer 2010 Sparkle collection.
Application was easy enough, but needed various coats to hide the nail line.
I think I stopped at 4 with good results. I then applied 1 coat of cheap Essence top coat.



Buongiorno, lo smalto di oggi è il fantastico Zoya Ivanka dalla Summer 2010 Sparkle collection.
L'applicazione è stata abbastanza facile, ma per coprire la nail line sono servite diverse passate. Se non ricordo male mi sono fermata a 4 con un buon risultato. Poi ci ho passato sopra 1 strato di top coat economico della Essence.
La collezione Sparkle è probabilmente ancora reperibile tramite NailEvo in Italia, per i dettagli andate al Masterpost linkato in fondo. ;)

Zoya Zara ♥

Hey there, how's everyone doing? I'm suffering from my usual allergies and asthma attacks, but this year I'm going to be brave and keep right on swatching and polishing my nails. I even got one of those surgical masks to limit the fumes inhalation. :p
So, today's polish is Zoya Zara from the Flourish Winter 08 collection. I admit I got it for its name, since my dog's name is Zarah, I couldn't pass this up!
Luckily it's not a fugly color at all, with its lovely gold shimmer in a lilac base.
Pics are 3 coats, no top coat. ^^



Ciao a tutti, come va? Questo per me è il periodo delle allergie e degli attacchi d'asma, ma quest'anno sarò più coraggiosa dell'anno passato e continuerò a produrre swatches e a verniciarmi tutto il possibile. Ho persino preso una di quelle maschere da chirurgo per limitare l'inalazione dei vapori. :p
Comunque, lo smalto di oggi è Zoya Zara, dalla Flourish Winter 08 collection. Devo ammettere di averlo acquistato per il nome, dal momento che il mio cane si chiama Zarah. Non potevo di certo farmelo sfuggire!
Fortunatamente il colore è bello quanto il nome che porta (XD megalomania, lo so), con i suoi riflessi dorati in una base lilla.
Nelle foto vedete 3 passate, niente top coat. ^^

Zoya Reece

Hi again, sorry for the lack of posts, I've been feeling lousy for a while, and the new job is not helping any.
Anway, as promised, here's Reece.
It's a lot pinker than I usually go for, but the swatches I saw of it made me impulse-buy it. I'm glad I did because even I can appreciate the lovely flash of gold and the overall gorgeousness of Reece.
Pics are of 3 coats + top coat.
^^


Buon pomeriggio, mi scuso per la mancanza di posts, ma è un pò che mi sento vagamente male, ed il lavoro non aiuta affatto.
Comunque, ecco Reece, come promesso.
Di solito non amo questo tipo di colori, ed ho acquistato Reece d'impulso dopo aver visto degli swatches che mi avevano affascinata.
Non mi sono pentita perché pur non amando il rosa posso apprezzare il riflesso dorato e la generale bellezza di Reece.
Nelle foto: 3 passate + top coat.
:)

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Amber Ruby

Hi again. On this sunny day I have Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Amber Ruby for you. It's a duochrome, it flashes bronze and reddish gold.
Application was somewhat of a nightmare. This thing would not dry! I struggled to achieve my usual 3 layers, and the end result isn't perfect, but it'll have to do. :)







Please click on this last pic to view it correctly.
In fact click on them all! ;)

Models Own Champagne

Hi again, today I have swatches of Models Own Champagne to show you. This is three coats and no top coat.
I really like this kind of shade, and Champagne reminds me of one of my favourite polishes, Chanel Kaleidoscope, except this has a more pink shimmer and veers more towards gold.

L'Oréal Holographic Shine 812

Hi there. ^^
Today I have pics of another polish I bought in Italy. This one is an uncharacteristic shade for me, and it's possibly 4 years old. Not my oldest bottle, but still pretty old.
The line was called "Holographic Shine" but there's nothing holographic about this color. It's pink and full of gold glitter, but nothing more than that.

Pictures are of two coats and no top coat. Guess what? They're clickable. :D






Thanks for looking!

Ever 12 Fucsia Dorato

Buona domenica a tutti.
Lo smalto di oggi è di una marca pressochè sconosciuta, la Ever. L'ho acquistato alla Upim di Roma Termini per meno di 4€ perchè anche con le luci del negozio avevo notato le particelle dorate che facevano un piacevole effetto shimmer in quello che pareva essere uno smalto rosso. Si è rivelato essere più sul rosa, ma non posso dire che mi dispiaccia. Lo stand era stato decimato, c'erano tre tipi di smalto in tutto, ma la prossima volta che mi troverò a Termini darò un'occhiata per vedere se ci siano altre perle.

Passiamo alle foto, cliccabili per ingrandirle come sempre.
A presto! :)

Hi again! Today's polish is by a little known Italian brand. I didn't expect to find such a nice polish in their display, but I was proven wrong when I saw this color with such a nice gold shimmer.
The pictures were taken on a cloudy day, so there's none of the usual Italian sun, but I think the gold is still visible.
Anways, pictures clickable as usual, enjoy!
