Random Spam with Essence, Essie, Gina Tricot and Golden Rose

I have another random spam post for you guys today! This time it's with Essence, Essie Gina Tricot and Golden Rose polishes.

So the first one is Essence Let's Get Lost! that I also already used as a base color for my gold foil mani. The polish itself is really pigmented and the formula was really nice too. I used two coats here with base and top coat.

I really love the color, it's so vivid and bright! And the quality of this polish was really great too, love it!


Next one is a bit Christmassy polish from Essie called Leading Lady. Well, it did came out in their winter 2012 collection, so it's no wonder it feels a bit Christmassy. Anyhow, I quite liked this one and it's different enough from my all time favourite red glitter (China Glaze Ruby Pumps of course) so I think I'm keeping it (at least for now).

I have three coats here with top coat.


Then the next one is a layered look with Dermexcellence number 32 and Gina Tricot Monaco Blue. I have two coats of Dermexcellence here with one coat of Gina Tricot and one coat of top coat. I should have probably combined Monaco Blue with some other polish as this wasn't really my favourite combo and it didn't really work for neither of the polishes.

Also, I already have quite a few of different glitter polishes and Monaco Blue didn't really live up to those (like for example Shimmer Polish glitters) so I found a new home for it.

The last one is Golden Rose Paris number 322, I have three coats here (no base or top coat). This is really a gorgeous polish, reminds a bit of some of those OPI shimmer polishes. 


So, which one was your favourite?

My Stash: Gosh, Essence, Catrice, Golden Rose, Sally Hansen and more

Here comes the last post of my stash post series and I have the fourth drawer of my Helmer to show you. Remember to check the previous posts too, if you haven't already, you can find the first part here where I have also some general info about my stash, and the the second part here and third here.

So in the fourth drawer I have several different brands as it is pretty much the drawer that use for the polishes that I only own one or two or so. Also, I have some brands here too that I own more, but they don't really fit to the previous drawers. 

But here's how the drawer looks like:
Like you can see this one is also pretty full like all the rest of the drawers I've shown you.. But the again, if I can empty the last drawer where I keep all my untrieds (remeber that I moved all the untrieds to the drawers they would belong, so technically it was empty when I took the pics of the other drawers) then I could move some polishes around. Anyhow, like I said this is quite a mixed drawer, though there are some brands here too with several polishes, for example Essence, Gosh, Golden Rose, Lumene and so on. Also the swap with Akuma Kanji filled this dreawer quite a bit...

But let's take a closer look to all the polishes, right?!
So first off, there's the two P2 polishes that I own, Stormy and Gracious. Then I have only one Miss Selene and it's number 236, two H&M polishes Confetti Time and Pink Bling Bling, and then one Maybelline Express Finish polish called Denim Dash.
 
I'm not the biggest fan of the Models Own polishes, so I have only three (I've had more but they weren't that special..). These are Ibiza Mix, Sterling Silver and Purple Blue. Then I have one beauty uk polish and it's called Metallic Lilac and then two e.l.f. polishes that are Golden Goddess and Black.
 
I only have one Borghese polish, Raspberry Sorbetto. I also have only two Wet n Wild polishes, they are Kaleidoscope (one of my favourite glitter toppers) and Sunny Side Up. The two Mavala polishes I got from our previous meeting and they are Roma and Honolulu.

Then these are all different brands and I only own one polish from each brand. These are: Benecos Dream On (gotten from the meeting), BK Emerald Green Silver Shimmer (gotten from BPS), Eyeko Cosmic Polish, Celia Woman Nr 2 (gotten from beautycosmetic.biz), Donegal Beauty Shine (doesn't have number or name on it, also gotten from beautycosmetic.biz), We Care Icon Macig Asteroid (gotten from the meeting) and Kicks Fab Jean.

Next off are all my GOSH polishes: Powder, Milky Way, Vanilla Ice, Rainbow, Holographic, Gasoline and Purple Heart.
 
Then I have three Jesse's Girl polishes: Confetti, Spring Break and Glee, one Maybelline Colorama called Worn In and one Barielle polish called A Bouquet For Ava.
 
I also the three Teeez! holographic polishes thanks to the awesome Reile from the Netherlands. They are: Cool, Outta Control and Smooth. The two Catrice polishes are Gold Leaf Top Coat and Dirty Berry (gotten from my first swap with the lovely Ritterbraten).
 
I also have few Essence polishes, first off the older bottle versions: Wake Up!, Time For Romance, Blue Addicted, Out of My Mind (also gotten from the swap with Ritterbraten), Break Trough and Fateful Desire.

Then the newer bottle versions of Essence polishes: Oh My Glitter!, That's What I Mint!, Ballerina's Charm, Let's Get Lost, Grey-t To Be Here, Hello Marshmallow! (gotten from the swap with Akuma Kanji) and Miss Universe. 

The first three polishes here are somewhat special for me, because they are Berlin themed (and I loooooove Berlin!) and I only got them thanks to two awesome ladies (Reile and Ritterbraten)! The first one is Catrice polish called Berlin and the two Essence polishes are from the I Love Berlin LE collection and they are called Berlin Story and Love This City. Then I have also one of those Essence nail art special effect toppers, this one is called Mrs and Mr Glitter, and then I have two Gina Tricot polishes called Monaco Blue and Sparkling Hot.


Next off are all my Golden Rose Jolly Jewels polishes, these are numbers: 111, 113, 117, 118, 119, 121 and 123.
 
I also have two Golden Rose Matte Velvet polishes, numbers 107 and 101 and two Golden Rose Paris polishes, numbers 69 and 322. I only have two Flormar polishes, these are the duochrome ones numbers DC05 and DC06.
 
Then in the next two pics are some of those awesome polishes that Akuma Kanji sent me from Portugal, these are Andreia Pocket numbers 101, 106 and 108, Andreia Higicol numbers 37 and 70, Risque Cintilante Agreste and Yes Love polish from the caviar manicure set.
 
The polishes gotten from the swap continue: Inocos Amarelinho and Maria Menina, Leticia Well #426, Cliché Hippie and Maldivas, Carlos Santos #623 and DERMExcellence #32.
 
Then I have one Manhattan polish number 66G, three Kleancolor polishes: Chunky Holo Poppy, Chunky Holo Purple and Holo Chrome, and one Sinful Colors polish called Daddy's Girl.


The first two Mereneid brand polishes are also gotten from the meeting, but they don't seem to have any clear numbers or names on them. Then I have two Eveline polishes, the first one is number 412 and the second miniMAX one is number 411, then the last two are from a brand called DMGM, I bought these from Dubai and they are scattered holographic polishes called Grape Light and Cherry Light.
 
Then here's all my Sally Hansen polishes, first one is from the HD series and it's called DVD, then I have the three Lustre Shine polishes that I got from our meeting and they are called Lava, Plume and Scarab.
 
And then finally here are all my polishes from the Finnish brand called Lumene and these are Moment of Miracle, Queen of the Night, Beyond the Dark, I'm Losing You, With the Flow and Magical Moment.

Phew, now I've show you my whole stash! I though this was quite fun to go through the whole stash, I hope you've liked these posts too!

Tell me, which ones from this posts were your favourites? Anything you'd like to own or anything you own already?

Recent hauls: Kiko, China Glaze, Deborah Lippmann, OPI and more

I have another haul post for you guys today! Some of these polishes you have already seen in my recent stash posts, but I still included them here too. So let's get started!

So first off, three China Glaze OMG collection polishes called 2NITE, LOL and IDK. The Finnish online store Adenina got some of these OMG collection polishes to sale recently so of course I had to buy those that I didn't already have (and for a very reasonable price too!), so the first two are from there. Unfortunately, I had just bought IDK from a private seller before I knew that Adenina would be also selling these, and of course I paid more for it. Oh well, at least I have three new OMG collection polishes! (And I'm sorry to tell you guys that Adenina has only 2Nite left from the OMG collection and also I think they only ship to Finland)

The last China Glaze polish here is Hyper Haute from Tronica collection and it's bought from Adenina too. The lonely OPI is Stranger Tides from the Pirates collection and I bought it from sale from a local store. Actually, I've bought quite many of these pirate polishes lately, I originally thought I wouldn't buy any polishes from that collection, but now I have almost all of them. I'm not that big of a fan of creme polishes, but these are really pretty and they make perfect base colors for different glitters and such.
 
I already told you that the lovely Akuma Kanji sent me two more of those Kiko Sugar Mat polishes and here they are. These are Spring Green (643) and Golden Mandarin (639). China Glaze and Zoya are bought from a Finnish Facebook group (from different sellers) and they are Techno Teal (from Tronica collection) and Reagan.

The two OPI DS polishes are from Head2Toe Beauty (they have a clearance sale of some OPI polishes for very reasonable price) and these two are DS Passion and DS Treasure. My first Emily de Molly polish is from Norway Nails and this is called Harmony. I also added third Deborah Lippmann polish to my stash, this one is called Rockin' Robin and it's from the this spring's collection called Staccato. (This one was bought from a Finnish online store Love It!)

These are all from Head2Toe Beauty and they came in that same order I made of course. The one lonely Misa is called Fountain of Youth and the (old) OPIs are Windy City Pretty, Dingeridoo You Nails?, 18K Ginza Gold and Sweet As Annie-Thing!
 
The first two here are my first Gina Tricot polishes and they are called Monaco Blue and Sparkling Hot. I bought them as well as that China Glaze Stellar from the same Finnish Facebook group. Then the last two Essence polishes I got from a tiny swap with a Finnish girl and they are Let's Get Lost and Wake Up!

January haul



Hello everyone!

January haul (2013)


I have already started to use what I've bought this month, so today I'm showing you what I bought in January. I didn't buy very much: 3 new from Pieces, one from Gina Tricot, and the rest from H&M.

H&M:


H&M: Play It, Run Baby Run

Play It, Run Baby Run. The color of Play It is a little strange. It looks like a mix of grey and silver with one drop of green. Run Baby Run is as you see it. Maybe I'll wear it when I watch the Oscars.

I liked H&M Bella's Choice so much that I bought a backup bottle, when I found it, and it was 80% off. Here you see the first bottle:

H&M: Bella's Choice
I also found these tiny mini bottles (5 ml):
H&M: Go Green, Active Blue, Play it Coral, Sporty pink
Go Green is a very pale mint with gold shimmer. The coral and the pink are creams. Active Blue has blue and a little purple shimmer, and I'm not sure what to call the finish. Microglitter or foil?


Gina Tricot Beauty Nails:

Gina Tricot: #116 Cream. I'm wearing mi-ny: Blue Sky





#116 Cream has gold shimmer. I hope it will be visible on the nail.


Pieces:

Pieces: Red Mahogny, Fresh pink, Lilac Rose


Red Mahogny, Fresh Pink, Lilac Rose (also used here). All these are creams.


Did you buy any of these polishes? Do you want to see swatches of any of these, or of any polishes from earlier hauls?

Gina Tricot: #17 Aspen gold


Hello everyone!

Gina Tricot: #17 Aspen gold


Gina Tricot: #17 Aspen gold is a yellow cream nail polish. I used 2- 3 coats and top coat (Seche Vite). I had no issues with this polish, and really like the color. And if you remember my last old bottles of polish post, you know I needed more yellow polishes. Please pretend that the little wound on my finger isn't there.

I found this bottle together with the ones that were on sale after Christmas. But when I was about to pay for it, they said that the price was not reduced, but I had fallen in love with it, so I paid full price even though the price tag was 50% lower... (but this is not an expensive brand, so it's OK)

With all this snow it felt strange to wear a color like this, but when I looked at the bottle to see what it was called, the snow felt appropriate. I guess it's not always snow in Aspen, but in all the movies I've seen that's supposed to be in Aspen, it is. But now, after taking all the snowy photos, I googled Aspen gold, and found out that it's actually a name for a yellow color.
