Flormar - M112

Nice and imaginative name, huh? :) I expected a lot from this polish. It's matte, so it should be opaque and dry fast, right? WRONG! What you see on the pictures is 5 coats. Yes, 5 coats. And it's still not even and opaque... And it never dried, I waited for 2 hours. And it's not matte, even after 2 hours. Damn you flormar, I had high hopes. It was runny too, I had some major cleanup after application, because it totally bled my cuticles.













Other than that, it's a nice colour. I'm surprised by the pics, I actually like them. But come on, 5 coats? The only polish I'd be willing to stand 5 coats for is the new Lipmann Glitter in the air, which I have no possible way of getting but absolutely love. A flormar? No.

Essence Return to Paradise & a Flormar

I got a great package today - from Parokeets! I won their Facebook giveaway and got three polishes from the Return To Paradise TE from Essence, and a bonus polish - Flormar 391. I'm really busy packing and getting things together, because I'm leaving on holiday tomorrow. But that didn't stop me from swatching the polishes :)

First up is My little orchid. A gorgeous violet with shimmer, but luckily not frosty, just shimmery. Two coats in the pic.






Fruit punch is a great summery colour - a rich orange with glassy sort of flecs that shimmer like hell when in the sun! Two coats.




Are you ready? Next up is Back to paradise. A gorgeous dark green jelly! You gotta love it. It took three coats though, and as you can see I was really sloppy with the third coat *blush*





And the bonus polish. My first Flormar, nr. 391. A gorgeous dark grey with silver shimmer or glassy flecks, I can't decide. I was so surprised - the first coat looked very runny and sheer, but the second coat took care of all that, so there are only two coats on the picture.




And as an experiment, I topped two nails with Jessica's No Shine TC. Here's the result:






I think both versions look spectacular:)

Thanks again to Parokeets, you girls rock!
