Hidden Treasure over greens

If you're fed up with pics of Sally Hansen's Hidden Treasure, please feel free to skip this post :)

A few of you, my super lovely followers, asked for some pics of HT over different polishes. Today I have a "stay-at-home-and-work-like-an-idiot-in-front-of-the-computer" day, so I decided to take regular breaks and do swatches in between work:)

First, I picked up some green from my collection. The polishes alone:



From left to right:
Essence - All access
Essence - Crazy me (Crazy about colour LE)
H&M - Green (from the mini 4-pack)
Catrice - Sold out forever

And then I layered one coat of HT over them. I was surprised at how I didn't like the effect that much - I was sure I'd love it. The only combo I'd consider wearing is the one with All access.

Sally Hansen Purple Pizzazz

Another one of those love/hate relationships... I got this in a swap with Glamorous Geek Chic. I loooove the colour. Just look at the loveliness in the bottle:



But then, it smells. Really smells, just like the Wet Cement one. And I applied four coats and you can still clearly see my nail line. Next time I'll layer it over some purple, maybe it'll be better. Because the colour is really to die for! Not to mention the flakie glittery bits... Yes, I really need to layer it!

Sally Hansen Wet Cement

Another polish I got in a swap :) Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in 37 - Wet Cement.

It's a perfect grey, in any lighting, it doesn't show any undertones of other colours. The brush is flattened, long and soft, application is surprisingly easy. It took two coats and dried fast enough. The only complaint I have is the smell... Ugh:( Do all of these smell as bad as mine? Sort of like wet cement really:) I wore it for roughly three days, and was surprised. I usually get chips by the second day, no matter what the polish, but this one was perfect when I removed it, so kudos for that.

Bling bling challenge

I was downloading pics from my camera just now and I found pictures of a mani I did for the Polish Hoarder Disorder's Bling Bling challenge from last week. I had fun doing it, but I completely forgot to send it in! That just shows how hectic my days have been for the last couple of weeks. And to top it of, I'm ill. I have a fever and everything. It's 30 degrees outside and I'm cold! I feel stupid:)




I used Essence Lilac forever for the base, Silver surfer for the lines, and every possible blingy polish I own for the "nail art".

Sally Hansen's Hidden Treasure

Yes yes, I know you've all heard lots and lots about this polish, seen millions of pics and are fed up. But hey, give me a break:) It's my first Sally Hansen and it's my first real flakie, so please. I have to do a post about it:)

I got this from a swap I recently did with Glamorous Geek Chic. I also got some other great polishes, but I didn't have time to swatch them, so you'll see them as I wear them.

Anyway, back to this polish. It doesn't need introduction. But I will write this - I looooooooooove it:) I read quite a lot of reviews of the brush - I have to say I'm on the side that loves it. It's big, it's flat, it's hard... What's there not to like:)

And, moving on to the pics. I'm glad we're getting a lot of sunshine, so the pics are accurate:) The base polish is yesterday's mani, s-he 468.

First, the bottle:




And pics in the sun. When the sun touches this polish, it mostly flashes green and gold.










In the shade it flashes mostly coppery gold with hints of green:

s-he 468

I didn't expect much from this polish, mostly because of the dissapointment with the green one a few days ago :) I don't really remember when I bought this one, but I'm quite sure I've never worn it before. I was looking for a dark red polish in my stash, and came up with this one. I have to say, I love it! It took two coats, but one would probably be enough if it was slightly thicker and if you're a patient person. It dried in like 5 minutes, I was stunned:) And the colour is great!

Don't you just love it? I do:)

Inside my purse:)

I'm a one purse gal, I always have been. Lately, due to much running around in different outfits, I had to start combining two purses. Mostly beacause one is too colourful to go with "serious outfits" - it's Desigual:

The other one is a plain black leather one. And, because I'm not always in the mood to put everything from one to another, I started stashing stuff in both of them. Yesterday I decided it was time to clean up, because I lost my keys and couldn't find them in any purse. So, I threw everything I had in them on the floor. Here's what came out:



Yes, that's something isn't it?

And the pic after some sorting and throwing away:



I found some long lost lipglosses, a bunch of hair stuff, lighters... So ladies, this is sort of an educational post. The lesson to be learned is: If you can't find something, it's probably hiding somewhere in your purse. Or, better yet: Clean out your purse regularly!

Oh and yes, I did find my keys;)
