Cadillacquer - Darling, red isn't your color

I love seeing pictures of indie polishes but when I wear them I'm quite often disappointed. This is one of the ones I like (but not love).

Darling, red isn't your color is a quote from 101 Dalmatians and the polish is a sheer white crelly with matte small black dots and even smaller red sparkles.

You can see I used quite a lot of it but this is also due to the fact that I need 3 medium-thick layers to have the color cover my yellowish stained nails. I think it would look more delicate on someone who doesn't wear dark and bright nailpolish that often.

As I already said, I'm wearing three coats plus base- and topcoat. You can still see my VNL well but I think this is intentional for a crelly.

I like it, it looks fun but I think I just might not be into crellies. Sadly, because on other people I really enjoy looking at them.

China Glaze - Hey Sailor

So I'm starting my not so small China Glaze Collection with Hey Sailor from the Anchores Away collection. The collection was released in spring 2011. Yep, quite a while ago. Hey Sailor is a bright classic red which is described as pin-up red. That's pretty accurate since it's a slightly cool leaning red and as I said, it is BRIGHT!

Since China Glaze has their formula for reds down this is a dream to put on your nails. Smooth application and with short nails for sure a one-coater.

I used two coats with Base- and Topcoat and felt like a 50s girl. It really stands out and if you enjoy a good bright red this is one to catch.

OPI - Tile Art to Warm Your Heart

This is one of my polishes I have sentimental memories about. I'm not the only one with such a relationship to nailpolish, am I?

I've been to Lisabon with my boyfriend in 2018 and this polish always reminds me of this wonderful week. OPI describes this color as mosaic blue and I think this is spot on.

I'm wearing two coats with Base- and Topcoat. The formula is really easy to work with and I love the OPI brushes because the wide brush makes it easy to apply the polish in just three strokes. 

This is a really lovely bright blue. Since blue is one of my favorite colors to wear on my nails I do have quite a few blue polishes but this is my favorite. And I think even without the Lisabon memories it would be.
