Il Était Un Vernis - Crush On Blue

Long time no post. But no worriez, I'm here today with a lovely Il Était Un Vernis polish called Crush On Blue.

Crush On Blue was the very first polish I've ever had from this french indie brand. And honestly, I was a little scared when I started to apply the first coat on my nails, that I made a mistake buying it. It was so sheer and hard to apply. Then the second coat made it look much better, so I calmed down. The application was still a little tricky, but not impossible to do it right. Still a third coat was definietly needed, but it after that it looked so beautiful on my nails, that I fell in love. Gorgeous rich blue nail polish with scatter holo effect. It reminds me of Picure Polish for some reason...

So everything worked out well with Crush On Blue, and now I'm a huge fan of Il Était Un Vernis. :)

F.U.N Lacquer - Blue Tears

I was very excited about F.U.N Lacquer's Summer 2015 collection. They're much more my style, than the LE polishes were a couple of weeks ago. Two polishes caught my attention immediately, and I knew without thinking, I gotta have them. One of them was Seductive Marmalade and the other, this post's subject: Blue Tears.

Blue Tears, eventhough it's not specifically a summer shade for me, is gorgeous deep blue polish with sparkling gold and holographic glitters. The formula is great, applies easily and covers in two coats. The removal was a little harder, than I expected, so I recommend to use peel-off basecoat.

Did you get anything from the Summer 2015 collection? 

ILNP - Honor Roll

Yesterday I finally recieved my ILNP order. It's a real torture to wait for pre-ordered polishes. :) I wasn't planning any nail art for 4th of July, but instead I start with Honor Roll, the blue polish from the new Ultra Holo colllection.

Honor Roll is a navy blue shade with intense holo effect. I mean really intense! It sparkles in the sunshine that much, that it hurts my eyes. But I don't mind, seriously who on earth would mind it? :D
The formula was good, a little thick, and the brush picked up a lot of polish, so I needed to be patient and careful, but it was okay. It covered my nails in two coats.

I can't wait to try my other Ultra Holos, and of course the ones from the Summer 2015 collection. But right now I want to enjoy Honor Roll just a little more. :)
Have you got anything of the two ILNP collections so far?

Il Était Un Vernis - Ixia

Il Était Un Vernis indie brand is run by two french girls. I've read so many great thing about their polishes, that I had to try them myself, too.

 

First I brought Ixia, this incedibly bright aqua blue shade from Végétal collection, that has holo shimmer and silver flecks. The formula is great, and covers in two light coats. 

 

Then I decided to try my new Twinkled T swirl nail vinyls. Not bad for first try, but these vinyls stick everywhere but my nails... :D 

Ixia is such a unique color in my stash, I couln't compare it to anything. I'm more than satisfied with it, so I'm sure there'll be more coming. You can order it directly from www.iletaitunvernis.com (only french version, and I can't help with the translation, sorry) or www.hypnoticpolish.com.

Glam Polish - Below Zero

Below Zero is from the Mid-Winter's Dream collection. I loved to use it during the winter, because of its cool tone, but I think it's also perfect for summer.

Like I said, Below Zero is a cool toned blue glitter polish with loads of holographic glitters, that sparkles 24/7 on the nails. Two thick coats cover the nails, but the removal is  a real torture if you use regular base-coat. Though, it's still worth it! I applied it over Pictre Polish's Glitter Base.
Then I just wanted to try my new nail vinyls from Twinkled T, so I sticked two mermaid tail vinyls on my middle and ring finger and painted over Don't Rain On My Parade from Glam Polish's Broadway collection. This was my first try of using these nail vinyls, so they became a little messy, but I love them anyway. :)

piCture pOlish - Ocean & Born Pretty BP-11 Image Plate

Finally we've got some sunshine here in Finland. Now I'm starting to feel, that I need more than just one color on my nails, and I'm in the mood doing some nail art. Lately I like illusion patterns, so when I found this cute nail plate (BP-11) in Born Pretty Store I couldn't resist.

For the base color I picked Ocean from piCture pOlish. I bought Ocean last fall, but during the winter I didn't use it. For me it is definitely a summer shade, although it's a darker one. It's an ocean blue color, which has jelly base and scatter holo effect. I applied Ocean to my pinkie and index finger in three coats. It looks quite okay in two coats, but it's definitely much deeper in three. On my middle and ring finger I have a light blue pastel polish from Catrice in two coats, it's name is Play It Blue. It was part of a TE two summers ago, which name I can't recall. Then I stamped these growing stars on them with Ocean. The stars became very sheer, but I like them anyway. :)

This image of the stamping plate was easy to use, the polish sticked to my stamper without any problem. I haven't yet tried the smaller images, I wonder if they are that easy ones, too. :) You can find this plate among many others at Born Pretty Store's website for 2,99$.

Colour Alike - 512

For today I brought the next Colour Alike Pastel Holo in line, 512. How fascinating... Come on, we need names for these beauties, right?

Number 512 is blue pastel with elegant holographic effect. I like this bright, yet pastel color, it makes me somehow happy. :) Just like its buddy it covers in two coats.

This bottle I've got from Nailland Hungary (www.nailland.hu), in Finland you can purchase it from www.naiskauneus.fi (also the new collection in stock now, yay!).

ILNP - Ice House (H)

Here I have the next one of ILNP Holographic Ultra Chrome Flakies, Ice House (H).

Ice House both with and without holo versions are brand new ones and came out last month.
The main color of the flakies are blue and teal, but in different light you can find some purple shift, too. Not that mush color shift in this one, but this was exactly the reason I wanted to have it. I just love how the teal and blue flakies look with the shimmery holographic micro glitters.
Here I have one thicker coat over OPI Black Onyx. 

 

These Holographic Ultra Chrome Flakies are really my kind of thing. I try to resist, but I have a feeling in time I'm gonna wanna have them all.

Dance Legend - Through The Glass

When a couple of months ago I finally decided to give a try to Dance Legend's Wow Prism polishes, Through The Glass was one of the first ones that landed in my virtual shopping cart. Such an eye-catching bright blue color packed (like all other Wow Prism polishes) with holographic flakies.

The formula was just a little thin for me, but nothing I couldn't handle. I also needed to apply 3 coats to make it opaque, but as long as it shines so bright on my nails I don't complain. And tust me, it does shine! The removal was surprisingly easy, just like it had regular creme finish.

The price of DL polishes is quite high, especially when you have to buy them online, but if you're willing to spend a little higher amount of money for a nail polish, I say give it a try!
