Russian polishswap :)

Again me and my russian friend @Lakobotan has done a polishswap. Me and Maria has been friends for some years now and since we both share a passion for nail polish, it's fun to be able to swap and get hold of polishes which otherwise would have been impossible and/or very expensive to get. :)

Today I'm sharing some of the stuff she gave me. The russian candy I kinda ate the very first days and some souvenir stuff is left out side the pictures.

There's too much to mention them all, but Lakobotan knows how much I love matte glitter combos so there's obviously a bunch of those, some textures and really exciting and very unique polishes. For example the green Dance Legend "for men" nail polish (lol), the (probably very similar to Fantasy Fire) Irisk, the new exciting granite finish polishes, holo top coat, glow in the dark polishes, magnetic polishes, card symbol top coat and some lovely franken polishes she has made me! :D And well, much much more. :P

Also please check to the left, she has made me a little piece of pendant necklace for me! It is double sided, but on this side it is a b&w water marble design. I'll show you some more of that later because of a nail art plan. ;)

And above, I forgot to add the neon Lavelle polish in the photo with all the polishes, so it got a solo shot. That's actually the polish I'm wearing and I'll show it soon. It's neon yellow/green but also has glitter in it making it unique.

Above, some awesome stickers and also a real ribbon thingy from Irisk, can't wait to try! :D

Some neon glitter. These I'll probably frank creating own glitter top coats with. I have some suspension base which I yet haven't tried.

And yea, this last one isn't that special per ce. I just like the graphics of Anna Gorelova's special collection polishes for Dance Legend and three bottles are from collections of hers. :P

A big thanks to @Lakobotan. Check her instagram out if you haven't already ;)

And for me I've been absent for some time but life is life and I've been busy. But from next week I hope I'll be able to blog more frequently. I have some Nail Challenge Collaborative stuff still unposted so that and some russian polishes will probably be what's up in the near future. Also followed by some Born Pretty Store reviews. :P

PS. Is there any of the polishes you'd like to see in a slightly sooner future? ;D DS.

P2 mini haul

P2 is a brand I've mentioned a couple of times here, it's sold through a german drog store called DM.

P2 have a bunch of regular polishes, like cremes and shimmers but they also have seasonal LE polishes. Below are their new creme textures in 8 shades. They're reminding a lot about KIKO's cupcake collection, however since I only got the green KIKO I can only compare that one and looking at the bottles they look like dupe´s. Also the pink, and the left orange shade look suspiciously similar when I compare pictures. However, I don't care since this means more chances for cool polishes. :D

Below are the ones I decided to buy from the bunch, the green, the blue, the purple and the yellow. Maybe I'll end up buying the rest too.. the brown is for example so fugly I might end up getting that too.. XD I also picked out some super-LE's from P2 too, which is some matte spring glitter polishes.

And here's some closeups (same order as above) :

What do you think about this creme texture trend? :)

Russian nail polish swap with Lakobotan

In the beginning of this year me and Lakobotan did a massive nail polish swap. That's a cool thing about the nail polish community and nail polish blogs, how friendly people are. <3

Lakobotan previously had a blog but now uses her instagram for that purpose, so go check her IG out. For example she recently started making some cabochons (nail polish jewelry) which looks amazing and on top of that she's also a nice person. :)

Wanted to share these bottles too, because I'll show swatches of a some of them in a near future.. :)

I see I missed a polish but you'll see it in a future post. I also got some other cool stuff, for example the brand Eva Mosaic also makes makeup and the eye liner is just awesome! All of the polishes are so me; a whole bunch of matte glitter and a whole bunch of new exciting brands and polishes to try out. For example the brown polish in the bottom of this post, Aurelia, is a chocolate scented polish! Just because Lakobotan knows how much I loooove chocolate. XD

And now this is my last polish bottle post for a long time I hope. ;) I've also prepared a regular blog post for today for United in Green which you can check out. :)

Canadian Shopping haul

As you know I was in Canada this summer and of course I did some nail polish shopping which I want to show you. It is with mixed feelings I see these bottles, because most of them are in Sweden as we speak..And I can't try them on! XD

Some new brands for me to try on. I'm actually most excited about the polishes from Forever21, didn't know they had their "own" brand, just like HM. Joe's and Pure Ice are also completely new to me. OPI by Nicole, Nails Inc and Sephora are also new brands in my stash.

Shopping Haul in Köln/Cologne

Today I went on a shopping tour and some gems returned with me from the town (or well, some was bought earlier this week). So many fun new brands to discover.. :D And I'm pretty stoked to try my texture top coat which was surprisingly cheap.

From top to bottom:

Essence - I Hol Di Mit'm Traktor AB (0,75€) Essence texture top coat(1,95€), P2 - Dating Time(1,75€). Bought at DM.

I've also bought some nail polish removers, one from Essence and one from KIKO. The one from KIKO was 3.9€ and the one from Essence was probably 2€ or something. I'll give you a review of what I think of each soon. :)

What do you think? Any one you think I should try first? :P

Shopping haul; polishes and beauty

Shall we look at some nail polish and beauty shopping I've done the last 4 months, all collected in one post? Some lemmings like Alanna Renee - Reptar has been bought and for once I actually feel content polish wise. (Well almost, I still want the whole Salon Perfect Neon Collision Collection but it's not available here in Sweden and at Ebay they are sold at ridiculous prices). Another good thing about feeling content is that I might take a trip abroad pre-summer and saving for that seems like a great idea. ;)

Above: A bunch of Alanna Renee.

 Above:Various indie polishes.

 Above: Some of the China Glaze feather collection; matte string glitter.

 Above: Some of Jordana's "creme" texture polishes.

Above: Some of Jordana's duochrome polishes.

 Above: LA Girl matte glitter polishes and two texture polishes from China Glaze.

 Above: French base material from OPI and China Glaze, fine liners and my first NYX polish.

 Above: Some swedish polishes on sale, Isadora for 10SEK and some cool HM polishes.

Above: The beauty part. Some new make up from Cherry Culture (tossed away half of my makeup stuff, they felt unhygienic and I felt like having some new and fresh things). I've also included a photo of a perfume (EDP) I bought super cheap at HM, 30SEK(3 euro). While waiting for my regular perfume to arrive I tried this one and I was actually quite happy that the scent is really long lasting.
