Linda Johansen Nail Candy: Mystic Blue


Hello everyone!


Linda Johansen Nail Candy: Mystic Blue


This is Linda Johansen Nail Candy Mystic Blue. First photos of Mystic Blue on its own, and after that you can see what it looked like when I tried to layer three glitters over it; Gina Tricot#73 Disco, Orly Sunglasses at Night, and Ozotic #528. My swatches are piling up, so I'm now showing you over a month old pictures.

This is a super sheer nail polish. I think I used four coats to make it even and opaque. The polish in the bottle looks stunning with lots of blue shimmer, and as you see the shimmer also shows on the nail, but not as dense as it looks in the bottle. And in some light conditions the shimmer isn't visible. I was lucky and managed to get some sunshine on some of the photos. The two photos above are showing the color as it is, and I hope it looks the same on your computer too. This is a 10 ml bottle.

I bumped into something, I don't remember what happened, so I had to take it off, but first I wanted to what it looked like with some glitter.

I didn't like it like this, but I think it would look good with a blue glitter gradient. I tried Mystic Blue over black on a nail wheel, but think I will use it on it's own.

It is possible to buy Linda Johansen's products on her web site (Linda Johansen Beauty Shop), where you can find a list of stores in Norway. Linda Johansen nail polishes can also be purchased at Norway Nails. (Updated February 16, 2013)

H&M: Peppermint Fusion


Hello everyone!

H&M: Peppermint Fusion






Today I want to show you Peppermint Fusion by Hennes & Mauritz. As you can see from the length of my nails, I have been wearing this nail polish more than once. One of the reasons was that I bumped into something, so that I had to take it off, and the other reason is that I struggled photographing the shimmer.

This is such a beautiful blue with blue shimmer. The shimmer shows better in the bottle than on the nails, but it should have been more visible on these photos. Here are the ones where I managed to show some shimmer on the nails:

This is one of the nail polishes that I think looks best in low light.

The formula on Peppermint Fusion was thin. For these photos I used 3 coats, and my usual base- and top coat from Cult Nails.
