Butter London - Blowing Raspberries

I love Butter London polishes. My first one was British racing green which I need to repurchase since I used that one up. But back to the topic because this post is about Blowing Raspberries.

This is a lovely true raspberrie color, kind of red, kind of pink. Lovely combination. And like most Butter London polishes that I've tried the formula is really great.

I needed two coats for this beauty.

I tend to wear this kind of color in fall and winter but to be honest I think it would be lovely all year round. If I did'nt have so many polishes...

China Glaze - At vase value

This one is a beauty! A light pastell blue but also bright and happy. I love At vase value.

For this picture I had to shake up the bottle because mine is half empty. And with over 200 nailpolishes this is a statement, isn't it?

As a pastell polish at vase value is chalky. I usually use 3 coats but the result is so worth it! Did I already mention that I love this polish?

Sally Hansen - Leaf me be

I'm always jealous to see Sally Hansen polishes on American blogs. The variety!!! You can get Sally Hansen in stores here in Germany but the only ones I find are the miracle gels and some other in the same bottle. Where are the small fun ones? I want those too!

Today I'm talking about Leaf me be. I picked it up in a sale with some other colors because I love green. And then I put it in my storage and never used it. Mistake! This is a military green that looks soooo good (on me at least).

I love the tone of green! And it applied like a dream, two really easy coats. I promise you my little beauty that I'm going to wear the heck out of you in next fall!

China Glaze - Lavenduh!

This is one of my newer polishes, I bought it for this spring. You can't have enough spring polishes, can you?

This is a nice bright pastelly purple-lavender color. As the name says. The formula is nice so I needed 2 coats for my swatch. Don't be alarmed if the first coat isn't that opaque because a thicker second coat will correct that. And it isn't chalky at all which I find really refreshing for a pastell polish.

So overall a really nice color, I can see me wearing this in the summer as well because of the underlying brightness.

Essie - Island hopping

I received Essie's Island hopping in an adventcalender a few years ago and instantly thought I would have never picked this polish for myself. Not sure if this is still true but I enjoy wearing it from time to time now.

The color is a muted purple with lots of grey in it. I consider this still to be a neutral because it's not too dark or too light or too bright. I like wearing it on my toes in winter, it's a perfect polish for that time of the year.

So, not my favorite color but I nice polish to have. The formula is nice, two coats for full opacity. And I think it would look great with some glitter on top, maybe I need to try this!

Manhattan - Magnetic Blue

I love blue nailpolishes. Manhattan's Magnetic blue is dark but still bright. And jellyish. Great combo.

The formula is quite good but because of the jellyish-finish I need 2-3 coats depending on my application skills. Which can vary from finger to finger.

Blue can be hard to capture in pictures so these pictures look way more purple than my nails look in real life. But you can see how squishy it looks... nice, isn't it?

China Glaze - Grass is lime greener

Another China Glaze polish. This one is a keeper, lovely bright light green for spring and summer. And if you like the grinch, winter as well.

This color is just stunning, the formula is acceptable. I need 3 coats because it gets patchy really easy so you might want to take your time applying it. But the result is worth the effort.

It looks so bright and happy, can't wait to wear it with a tan!
