<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">Some time ago, just before I was forced to put my blog on a hiatus, <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a> has been so kind to send me some products for review, leaving me free choice. I decided I'd pick some stamping plates in order to be obliged to improve my completely non existent stamping skills. You should know I'm a little bit lazy and I really lack in artistic flair, that's why you're not used to see many nail art posts here. You haven't been seeing many stamping either, because I've collected mostly epic fails so far.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">So, now that my nails are quite recovered, I decided it was almost time to take myself on a challenge and here we are: please, I beg you to be patient (and also a bit compassionate) because these are definitely my very first attempts at stamping, so I'm sharing with you my decent results as well as my fails. Mind that constructive criticism is always welcome and appreciated.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">The plate I'm reviewing is <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/radiating-patterns-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp11-p-17256.html" target="_blank"><b>BP-11</b></a>*, which displays 4 full-nail optical patterns (1,5x2,0 cm) and 4 stand-alone ones I really loved. Each pattern is well carved, making it easier to get them transferred on the nails. I'm still facing some issues with thin lines, though, both with my marshmallow and hard stampers, but this is totally on me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">To be honest, my biggest problem so far has been (and still is) nailing the right combo of colours and patterns. Moreover, I still find it easier to stamp with proper stamping polishes than with ordinary ones (even if I've been picking mostly one coaters).</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">In the following pictures,I'm sharing with you some pretty good results, some decent ones and a fail: it's not easy at all to capture a light blue holo stamping over a blue holo base under the sun!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">And as usual, I'd like to remind you you could use my <b><i>XLSQ10</i></b> discount code, worth of a 10% off your cart at <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/Nail%20Art-c-268.html" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a>. </span><br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Millenni fa, poco prima di tutte le vicissitudini che mi hanno portata ad una pausa dal blog, <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a> mi ha gentilmente inviato alcuni articoli da recensire. Tra questi ho avuto la possibilità di scegliere alcune plates: mi sono praticamente imposta di prenderle per tentare di migliorare il mio stamping, visto che i precedenti tentativi sono stati quasi tutti dei fail. Vi prego di avere pazienza (ed anche un po' di pietà :D) poiché questi sono praticamente i miei primi approcci a questa tecnica. Anzi, eventuali consigli sono più che bene accetti!<br />
La plate che vi mostro oggi è la <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/radiating-patterns-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp11-p-17256.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">BP-11</a>*, che alterna 4 pattern optical ad unghia piena (1,5x2,0 cm) ad altrettanti design signoli. Tutti i motivi sono ben incisi, sebbene mi capiti ancora di avere qualche problema saltuario con le linee più sottili (per mancanza mia, s'intende).<br />
La mia più grande difficoltà è trovare la giusta combinazione tra colore di base, colore dello stamping e pattern. Ho ancora delle difficoltà nello stampare con smalti ordinari, mentre con gli stamping polish tutto scorre decisamente liscio. Nelle prove che seguono, infatti, noterete qualche esperimento riuscito, qualche fail e qualcosa di decente ma migliorabile. Inoltre, stampare con holo su holo e fare le foto sotto al sole non è stata proprio una grande idea!<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">This is another first time on the blog and it's the turn of <b>Cupcake Polish</b>, directly from Dallas. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Well, where to start? This might be the very first time I get to post a Cupcake Polish on the blog, but I own a few and I've repeatedly worn them during last Summer so I can say you could never be too mushy about this brand. These polishes are beyond gorgeous.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Today's varnish is <b><i>Bat-chelor Pad</i></b> and it's part of the <i>Modern Vampire</i> collection, out last Fall: can I say that? It's T-E-R-R-I-F-I-C!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">For a start, just like any other varnish I happen to love, it was a real pain to capture, so expect it to be something more than what you can see in my pics: its holo flame has completely knocked down my camera. Then, it looks way darker IRL. I don't know whether it's a curse and my camera simply fails at portraying blues or it was just a bad choice to shoot under the midday sun, but I don't have a lightbox and this is a holo so it requires sun... Anyway,<i> Bat-chelor Pad</i> is a very deep shade, something in between denim and navy blue, and for this reason I'm attaching a very crappy pic which is true to the original colour (sorry for the construction site in the background, I was at my window and I used my phone!). </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Please, have a sit: in my pictures you'll be seeing <u>ONE COAT ONLY</u>, no TC. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, <i>Bat-chelor Pad</i> is a stunning one coater! Its formula is flawless and very easy to work with despite the thin brush. It also dries very quickly and...wanna hear more? This Highlander lasted 8 days on me, with no issues at all. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Do I still have to say how much I love it?!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Oggi vado a mostrarvi un altro indie che fa la sua comparsa su questo blog per la prima volta: benvenuti a Dallas, da <b>Cupcake Polish</b>.<br />
Non saprei neanche da dove iniziare, in quanto per questo brand gli elogi non saranno mai abbastanza. Sebbene non ne avessi mai postati prima, possiedo alcuni Cupcake da un po' di tempo e devo ammettere che la qualità di queste vernici è a dir poco e-gre-gia.<br />
Lo smalto di oggi, <b><i>Bat-chelor Pad</i></b>, fa parte della collezione <i>Modern Vampire</i> uscita lo scorso autunno ed è un qualcosa di... boh, non saprei nemmeno dirlo... stratosferico?<br />
Innanzitutto, come ogni singolo smalto che io adori, è stato un vero osso duro da fotografare: nelle foto che seguono non rende per nulla. L'effetto olografico è talmente forte da aver mandato in tilt la mia fotocamera; inoltre il colore risulta molto più chiaro di quanto non sia in realtà: si tratta infatti di un profondissimo blu a metà tra il denim ed il navy (probabilmente il sole di mezzogiorno, sebbene invernale, è stato troppo anche per lui...ma è pur sempre un holo e, anche volendo, non ho una lightbox). Vi allego un obbrobrio fotografico scattato dalla finestra con il cellulare, su uno sfondo tutt'altro che bucolico, per mostrarvi come il colore appaia in realtà.<br />
Nelle foto vedrete il risultato di <u>UNA ED UNA SOLA PASSATA</u>, senza TC: [vi lascio un minuto di silenzio per raccogliere la mascella]. La formula è impeccabile, si stende da solo (nonostante il pennello sottile) ed asciuga in men che non si dica. La ciliegina sulla torta? Dopo 8 giorni, su di me, era ancora come appena steso.<br />
Come fare a non amarlo?<br />
<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">Today I'm taking you back to the US with an indie brand based in Seattle: <b>Daily Hues Nail Lacquer</b>. My pick is <b><i>Fiona</i></b>, which was part of a scattered holo collection Jenn released a couple of years ago. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I've spent quite some time drooling over this beauty before I could finally get my hands on it: you might know I'm not a fan of greens, yet I'm deeply fond of acid and neon/fluo ones, plus Fiona is also holographic... I had to have it. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Technically speaking, it's a neon green jelly base: in my pictures you'll be seeing two heavy coats on a white base to boost its neon effect. I really love what Fiona looks like on white, it's definitely brighter than its natural hue when worn all alone. Despite the abundance of holo pigment, the final scattered effect is very subtle and, IMHO, this makes Fiona look very elegant as compared to any other simple neon green. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">The drying time has been very quick and this beauty is definitely Highlander-y, with no need of TC at all. I've worn it for several days before I decided to give a go to <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.com/2016/03/st-patrick-goes-neon.html" target="_blank">this nail art</a>: it was still perfect and it kept on remaining so for another whole week. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I'm really pleased with Fiona: it's a gorgeous hue and a very good quality polish. It should be perfect for Summer days, surely a great match with tanned complexions...but I couldn't wait any longer! </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">What do you think? Do you like it?</span><br />

<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Quest'oggi torniamo in terreno statunitense: <b>Daily Hues Nail Lacquer</b>, infatti, è un indie brand di Seattle e lo smalto che vi mostro oggi si chiama <b><i>Fiona</i></b> e fa parte di una collezione di olografici scattered di un paio di anni fa.<br />
L'ho corteggiato parecchio prima di acquistarlo: sebbene non ami il verde sulle unghie, ho un serio debole per le sue tonalità acide e fluo, per cui come avrei potuto lasciarmi scappare un verde neon olografico?<br />
Fiona è una base verde neon la cui formula mi è parsa decisamente jelly: nelle foto che seguono lo vedrete steso in due passate piuttosto corpose sopra ad una base bianca. Rispetto agli swatches trovati in rete che lo mostrano da solo, devo ammettere di preferirlo su bianco: la componente neon è davvero esaltata.<br />
L'effetto olografico scattered, nonostante l'abbondanza di pigmento in sospensione, è piuttosto lieve, ma non per questo meno prezioso.<br />
Fiona ha tempi di asciugatura davvero rapidi ed una durata eccezionale, pur senza bisogno di TC. Dopo diversi giorni ho realizzato <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.com/2016/03/st-patrick-goes-neon.html" target="_blank">questa nail art</a></span>: era ancora perfetto ed ha continuato ad esserlo!<br />
Sono proprio soddisfatta: ne adoro il colore di base e l'effetto holografico e lo amo maggiormente per via della grande qualità a livello di formula. Trovo sia uno smalto perfetto per il periodo estivo, su una carnagione abbronzata sicuramente risalterebbe molto più di quanto già non faccia ora... Cosa ne pensate?<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">A very quick post today to celebrate St.Patrick's Day. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Some days ago I was wearing <b><i><a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/2016/03/daily-hues-nail-lacquer-fiona.html" target="_blank">Fiona</a></i></b> by <b>Daily Hues Nail Lacquer</b> and I thought it would've been sort of appropriate for St.Patrick's Day. Then I realised I had a couple of patterns on a stamping plate* and a dark green stamping polish which would have "almost" played a match as well, so I decided to give it ago and this is what I got. They're not shamrocks and it's way far from perfection, but I don't dislike it (considering all my stamping fails so far...). </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #20124d;">The plate I'm talking about is <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/patterns-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp09-p-16856.html" target="_blank">BP-09</a>* from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a> (I've received it for review some time ago and you'll be seeing it very soon), while the stamping polish comes from <b>Dashica</b>, as a very appreciated freebie in one of my orders. </span><br />

Qualche giorno fa ho indossato <b><i><a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/2016/03/daily-hues-nail-lacquer-fiona.html" target="_blank">Fiona</a></i></b> di <b>Daily Hues Nail Lacquer</b>, poi ho realizzato che siamo a Marzo e che sarebbe stato uno smalto "quasi" appropriato per St.Patrick's Day. Per puro caso mi sono accorta di avere una plate* con un paio di pattern che sarebbero stati "quasi" adatti per l'occasione, parimenti ad uno stamping polish verde foresta, così ho tentato. Non è assolutamente un capolavoro della scienza e della tecnica, ma considerando i miei precedenti stamping flop non mi ritengo del tutto insoddisfatta.<br />
<br />
I pattern utilizzati si trovano sulla <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/patterns-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp09-p-16856.html" target="_blank">plate BP-09</a>* che <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a> mi ha inviato qualche tempo fa per review (e che vedrete prossimamente in maniera più approfondita), mentre lo stamping polish utilizzato è una vernice verde scuro omaggiatami da <b>Dashica</b> in occasione di un ordine.<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">Welcome to Olympia, Washington! Today I'm gonna introduce you to Shawn and Angel, aka <b>Above The Curve</b>'s creators, aka one of my favourite indie brands ever (and I really hope they will be back someday, since their shop is closed at the moment). </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I dare to say you might know my usual tastes well by now, so this is going be a very unusual polish: yes, it's pink! </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">It's part of ATC's <i>Friday 13th series</i>: Shawn and Angel, in fact, used to release a mystery polish each Friday 13th during the year; there are 5 so far, and this one is <b><i>Friday 13th #4</i></b>.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">The base colour is orchid pink, enhanced by a huge ton of medium-to-small UCC flakies and a slightly linear holographic pigment (which I had some issues capturing, by the way, due to a damn cloud that decided to pop up right when I went out to take some pics...lucky me!).</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">It's a jelly base, so you can build the colour up coat after coat (I used 3 for a perfect coverage), and don't be afraid because it dries super quickly and smooth, no TC needed!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #20124d;">I must be honest: I'm glad it was a mystery polish. I know for sure I wouldn't have ever considered buying it if I knew what was to come. I mean: pink? Dark flakes? Me?? I was kind of upset when I opened my nail mail; then I put it on and it's been immediately love! It's a very unique polish in my stash, I don't own anything similar.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Lesson learnt: don't let prejudices get you blind!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Right, that's enough talk. Let's get on with pictures (an awful lot, by the way). I'm really curious to read what you think of this baby! </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Oggi ho deciso di portarvi nello stato di Washington, più precisamente ad Olympia, per conoscere Shawn ed Angel: i genitori di <b>Above The Curve</b>, uno dei miei marchi indie preferiti in assoluto (spero riaprano prima o poi, attualmente il negozio è chiuso :( ).<br />
Ed ho deciso di farlo con uno smalto decisamente insolito: sì, avete visto bene... è rosa!<br />
E' una vernice della <i>serie Friday 13th</i>: Above The Curve, infatti, era solita realizzare un mystery polish in occasione di ogni Venerdì 13 sul calendario; ne sono usciti 5 in totale e quello che vi mostro oggi è il <b><i>Friday 13th #4</i></b>.<br />
Si tratta di una base rosa orchidea impreziosita da un pigmento olografico (il cui effetto tende al linear, nonostante nelle foto non si noti per via del cielo parzialmente nuvoloso - la classica nuvola di Fantozzi che è spuntata fuori proprio mente ho trovato il tempo per fotografare!) e da una cospicua quantità di UCC flakes medio-piccoli.<br />
La base è jelly, quindi piuttosto sheer, ma per raggiungere una coprenza perfetta sono sufficienti solo 3 passate (a vostra discrezione se stenderne di più o di meno, a seconda di quanto pieno volete il colore) ed i tempi di asciugatura sono super rapidi; l'effetto finale non è per nulla ruvido, per cui non è necessario alcun TC.<br />
<br />
Devo ammettere di essere molto molto contenta del fatto che si trattasse di un mystery polish: so per certo che se avessi saputo cosa avrei ricevuto non lo avrei mai comprato - dannati pregiudizi! Appena ho scartato la posta, infatti, ho avuto un mezzo infarto. Rosa? Flakes così scuri? Io?<br />
Invece è bastato indossarlo per far scattare la magia: me ne sono letteralmente innamorata! Senza contare il fatto che si tratti di uno smalto unico nei miei helmer, non ho proprio nulla di simile. Quindi bando alle ciance, spazio alle foto (che sono tante) ed ai vostri commenti. Sono proprio curiosa di leggere cosa ne pensate!<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">Today's star is <b><i>Bruised Her Soul</i></b>, a gorgeous holographic beauty by the Canadian indie brand <b>Eat.Sleep.Polish</b> and part of the unfortunately discontinued <i>Alice In Polishland</i> 2014 collection. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I've experienced a daily dose of issues because of the colour: it is, in fact, a dark vampy plum base, occasionally leaning towards brown. I don't know whether it is because of my complexion (you know, zombies and I...we're actually twins), but <u><i>on me</i></u> <i>Bruised Her Soul</i> (BHS) is mostly a gorgeous cold purple which, sometimes, decides to turn into indigo. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">There has been no way to get any sparks of vampy pop up on my fingers, not even with a little help from warm lamps. It is, on the contrary, a perfect vampy on my neighbour. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">BHS is nevertheless an extraordinary varnish.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I bought it exactly a year ago and never used it; notwithstanding, once out of the drawer it looked like as new (no separation, perfectly fluid...). It's really opaque: you'll be seeing two coats with no TC in my pictures just because I'm used to, it was perfect with one only. Its formula is flawless, I had no issues at all, no clean-up required and it dried quickly. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">The holographic effect, though, is much more visible IRL: my camera sucks when it comes to purple and blue holos -.-</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">So, besides the vampy-issue, I've really liked this baby (not to mention Eat.Sleep.Polish logo! Shall we talk about it?!) and I regret ESP's not that easy to get here, because I'm definitely in love with Caterina's holos.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">What about you? Have you got any? Did you like this one?</span><br />

<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Lo smalto che vi mostro oggi è un indie canadese del brand <b>Eat.Sleep.Polish</b> e fa parte della collezione <i>Alice In Polishland</i>, datata 2014 ed ormai discontinuata.<br />
Come mi era già capitato per altri smalti, ho avuto non pochi problemi con il colore: <b><i>Bruised Her Soul</i></b>, infatti, nasce come un prugna/vampy che assume, a tratti, anche una componente marrone. Su di me, invece, predomina la parte viola ed, in alcune angolazioni, si raffredda addirittura fino a sembrare quasi un indaco. Non so se ciò sia da imputarsi alla mia carnagione color morto, sta di fatto che quel vampy che tanto mi piaceva, su di me, non salta fuori neanche sotto luce calda. Al contrario, è un perfetto vampy sulla mia vicina di casa.<br />
Ad ogni modo il "problema cromatico" è stato l'unico che ho avuto: <i>Bruised Her Soul</i>, infatti, è una vernice a dir poco eccezionale.<br />
Ho acquistato questo smalto esattamente un anno fa e, nonostante la prolungata inattività, una volta tirato fuori dall'helmer era come appena arrivato: nessun segno di separazione. La pigmentazione è davvero elevata, ho dato due passate solo per pura abitudine e la formula è quanto di più facile da stendere si possa volere. L'asciugatura è stata rapida e, come di consueto con gli olografici, non ho utilizzato alcun TC. L'effetto lineare è decisamente più accentuato di quanto si veda nelle foto.<br />
Che dire... Vampy o non vampy l'ho amato tantissimo! E vogliamo anche parlare del logo?!<br />
Mi spiace solo che ci sia l'oceano di mezzo, ne vorrei molti altri: Caterina non manca assolutamente di creatività ed i suoi olografici sono davvero stupendi.<br />
Voi ne avete qualcuno? Cosa ne pensate?<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">Hello, hello! Here I am, back again (it seems), still alive. It's been a very long time since my last post and I must say I've been through quite a lot during the last year and a half, not to mention the issues I've been facing with my nails, which are still on their way to recover (so please be patient, they're definitely not fine yet). </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I'd like to celebrate, though, so I'm taking you all to Sacramento, California, to meet another amazing American indie brand: <b><i>Bear Pawlish</i></b>. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I'm going to show you <b>Master Thespian</b>, a glorious blue polish from the <i>Over the Rainbow Collection</i> launched in June 2015. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">This is a very peculiar varnish, in fact it's like having three different polishes all in one: </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">- while under the sunlight, <i>Master Thespian</i> is a striking linear holographic blue; </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">- under artificial lights, in dim-light or indirect sunlight it becomes a scattered holo, due to some holographic flakes mixed with the ordinary linear pigment; </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">- when in the shade any holographic effect turns off, leaving a huge amount of white particles. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Its behaviour (in the last two lighting conditions) made me immediately think of <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/2013/07/holoton-ozotic-914-scatter.html" target="_blank">Ozotic Scatter 914</a>, also because even the base colour is a shifter: while it's a plain deep blue under the sunlight, it turns into a blue-to-indigo metallic/chrome tone in the shade and under the lamps. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">The formula in this one is a bit thicker than usual, yet easily manageable and very quick drying, and therefore I loved it. No longevity issues to declare.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Well, even though I've firstly bought it because of its striking linear effect, let me tell you I've been amazed also by its hidden personalities, and I've ended up loving it even more than expected! </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">This has been my very first Bear Pawlish (together with <i>Clever Boy</i>), but I sense it's not going to be alone for that long...</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">What about you? Do you have any? Do you like this one?</span><br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Ebbene sì, sono ancora viva. Dopo alluvioni, unghie rotte e poco collaborative (vi prego di chiudere un occhio sullo stato in cui ancora versano) e vicissitudini varie, rompo il silenzio e vi porto in California, più precisamente a Sacramento, a casa <b>Bear Pawlish</b>: un altro indie brand americano che non ha nulla da invidiare agli altri suoi connazionali.<br />
Lo smalto che vi andrò a mostrare si chiama <b><i>Master Thespian</i></b> e fa parte della <i>Over the Rainbow Collection</i> uscita nel Giugno 2015.<br />
Si tratta di un bellissimo e potente blu dal finish molto particolare: mentre sotto la luce solare diretta predomina indiscutibilmente l'effetto olografico lineare (e che holo!), in presenza di luce al neon e penombra/sole indiretto fa la sua comparsa un effetto olografico sparso, decisamente simile a quello dell'<a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/2013/07/holoton-ozotic-914-scatter.html" target="_blank">Ozotic Scatter 914</a>. Simile all'australiano è anche l'aspetto di <i>Master Thespian</i> in ombra: il colore di base si trasforma in un blu/indigo a metà tra il cromato ed il metallico e le particelle scattered si spengono lasciando la base ricca di puntini bianchi.<br />
Ho trovato la formula del mio Thespian un po' più densa rispetto a quelle cui sono abituata, ma la consistenza non è per nulla fastidiosa, anzi: rende questa lacca molto più facilmente governabile. Nelle mie foto sono presenti due passate di smalto, senza alcun TC. L'asciugatura è stata rapidissima e la durata molto buona.<br />
Sebbene l'olograficità lineare sia il motivo principale per il quale abbia deciso di fare mio questo smalto, devo ammettere di essere rimasta piacevolmente stupita dalla sua triplice personalità, scoprendo di amarlo tantissimo anche nelle sue vesti di cielo stellato in ombra piena ed in ombra parziale.<br />
E voi cosa ne pensate? Avete già avuto modo di provare questo brand?<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">Today I'm sharing with you a nail polish which is very meaningful to me. I've been feeling blue lately, and still I am. I've received this polish as a gift from a very close and lovely person a couple of months ago (thanks a lot again, A., for all your kind words), in a very defining moment of my life, and because of this wearing it makes me feel better, it seems as if I had positive energies and I feel like I have someone who believes in me by my side. You know, it's some sort of wind wiping out the coulds to light up the day again.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Plus, some of you were curious to see how different this is from <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.com/2014/09/birthstone-challenge-sapphire-zoya-song.html" target="_blank">Song</a>, so...I'm killing two pidgeons with one stone and I'm showing you <b><i>Order Of The Garter</i></b> in all its majesty, waiting for a proper comparison to come. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">This gem by <b>A-England</b> comes from <i>The Legend</i> collection and is a gorgeous royal blue with a glimmery blue shimmer which in the bottle shifts even to magenta hues. Differently from the holos, Order Of The Garter is more liquid and less pigmented, you'll be seeing three thin coats in my pictures and this helped to build up a glorious depth. It dries quickly, anyway, and is very shiny on its own. I didn't use TC and I've spotted the first tipwear signs after 4 days so longevity is amazing (pure A-England style). </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I think there's no need for me to say anything about this amazing nail polish...if you've been following me for a while now you should know what "A-England" and "blue" means to me, especially if they match in the same bottle. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Yet, I'd like to hear something from you. What do you think of this baby?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Oggi vorrei mostrarvi uno smalto che per me significa molto. E' un periodo un po' così ed avevo bisogno di un po' di fiducia e di speranza e, siccome questa vernice è un regalo pieno di significato che mi è stato fatto in un momento particolare da una carissima persona (ancora grazie A., per tutto quello che mi hai detto), indossare <b><i>Order Of The Garter</i></b> è un po' come avere accanto qualcuno che crede in me e che infonde positività. Un vento che spazza le nuvole e fa tornare il sereno.<br />
Inoltre, qualcuna di voi era curiosa di vedere quanto fosse simile a <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.com/2014/09/birthstone-challenge-sapphire-zoya-song.html" target="_blank">Song</a>, per cui prendiamo due piccioni con una fava ed, in attesa di una comparazione ufficiale, per il momento vi mostro questo <b>A-England</b> in tutta la sua bellezza.<br />
Order of The Garter è un brillante royal blue arricchito da uno shimmer blu/azzurro ed, in boccetta, anche magenta in determinate angolazioni. Fa parte della collezione <i>The Legend</i> e, contrariamente agli olografici, ha una formula più liquida e meno pigmentata. Nelle mie foto vedrete il risultato di tre passate sottili che hanno contribuito a costruirne la profondità e che sono asciugate, comunque, molto rapidamente. Non ho indossato alcun TC in quanto questo smalto risulta brillante già da solo e ciò nonostante Order Of The Garter ha iniziato a mostrare segni di tipwear dopo 4 giorni.<br />
Insomma...non credo ci sia bisogno che io dica altro, per voi che mi seguite da tempo dovrebbe essere sufficiente il fatto che A-England e blu siano nella stessa frase per capire cosa penso di questo gioiello. E voi, invece? Cosa ne pensate?<br />
<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">Here we are again, even this year our holographic marathon has come to an end and I was aiming to say goodbye with a bang (it's up to you to tell me whether I've achieved my goal or not). </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">For today's post I must thank LLarowe and her assistant Bea and, why not, a little bit of luck: I've in fact received the nail polish I'm going to show you as a prize for winning a giveaway. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><b><i>Toga! Toga! Toga!</i></b> by <b>Colors by LLarowe</b> is a LE varnish created for the August edition of '<i>A Box Indie</i>d' and it's a very difficult to capture violet holographic shade (it's got a warm tone, which you can spot around the corners of the bottle in each single picture, that my camera decided to kill off on the nails, so please imagine it a bit warmer than it's actually portrayed. Indirect sunlight shots are the most colour accurate ones, let me say direct sunlight has enhanced the holographic effect so much that the rainbow has completely overwhelmed the base colour). </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Toga! Toga! Toga!, as any other holo by the brand, has a flawless and dreamy formula and is highly pigmented. This could be a real one coater, even if I had two thin coats, just because that's what I'm used to. Besides, super quick dry time and amazing longevity make these polishes reach perfection.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Well, what can I say? I've been longing for CbL beauties for a very long time and now I've finally got my hands on them, I'm really pleased to tell they're completely matching my expectations. I'd like to have them all! </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">So, what about you? what do you think of this baby? Tell me in the comments and stick around, who knows what's to come in the near future?</span><br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Ed anche quest'anno siamo arrivate all'ultima puntata della nostra maratona olografica, non senza imprecare adeguatamente a causa del meteo ballerino. Volevo chiudere in bellezza e, se ci sono riuscita (lo giudicherete voi), devo ringraziare un pizzico di fortuna e LLarowe e Bea: lo smalto che vi mostro oggi, infatti, l'ho vinto ad un giveaway organizzato da Leah Anne sulla sua pagina Facebook. <b><i>Toga! Toga! Toga!</i></b> è una LE <b>Colors by LLarowe</b> realizzata in esclusiva per la "A Box Indied" di Agosto e si tratta di un olografico linear viola il cui colore è quasi impossibile da catturare (ha una punta di rosso che potrete notare ai margini della boccetta in ciascuna foto e che la macchina fotografica ha deciso di uccidere sull'unghia, per cui immaginatelo una punta più rossiccio - le foto in luce indiretta sono quelle più accurate in termici cromatici. L'effetto olografico sotto al sole diretto è talmente potente da aver annullato qualsiasi parvenza di colore di base!).<br />
Toga! Toga! Toga!, come tutti gli altri smalti del brand, ha una formula da sogno ed è molto pigmentato. Ho steso due passate sottili più per abitudine che per necessità...ne sarebbe bastata una sola. L'asciugatura è stata immediata e molto lucida e la durata impareggiabile.<br />
Che dire, ho bramato a lungo gli smalti CbL e le mie aspettative non sono state certo deluse, anzi. Ne vorrei a palate adesso! Fatemi sapere cosa ne pensate nei commenti e...restate sintonizzate, non si sa mai cosa succederà su questi schermi nei giorni a venire!<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">September is associated with sapphire so, even if I was born in March, this is my month. Finally some blue!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Sapphire has been popular since the Middle Ages and, according to folklore, it was to protect your loved ones from envy and harm. Medieval clergy wore sapphires to symbolize heaven, while commoners thought the gem attracted heavenly blessings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">My sapphire is a nail polish I couldn't have missed and IMO it's one of the most gorgeous blue ever: <b>Zoya <i>Song</i></b>, from their <i>Diva</i> collection for Fall 2012, an awesome and deep sapphire blue enriched with shimmer and glassflecks.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Song is a one coater, even if you're seeing two coats in my pictures just to enhance the depth of this polish. It dries really fast and its formula is a pleasure to work with, plus it lasts really long on my nails as any other Zoya...it's been a very pleasant week!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Unfortunately it's been a hard fight again against reflections, I tried to do my best but you can still spot some awful ones on my nails. I took some pics both with and without TC and I've realized I could have tried to mattify Song only when I had it all removed. I'm sorry, but I didn't feel like to wear it again, I had some issues with removal...you know, it's blue and despite I've drowned my fingers into oil I've still experienced some little troubles. I'm in love with this polish, it's one of my favourite Zoya ever and I'm really happy I have it in my drawers. What do you think of my sapphire?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Settembre è il mese associato allo zaffiro, per cui potrete immaginare quanto questo mese mi calzi a pennello...finalmente blu!<br />
Questa gemma ha iniziato a diffondersi in epoca medievale e, mentre per il clero simboleggiava il regno dei cieli, per la gente comune era simbolo di benedizione divina e si riteneva proteggesse i propri cari dall'invidia e dai pericoli.<br />
Per rappresentare lo zaffiro ho scelto uno smalto che assolutamente non potevo non avere, uno dei blu più belli della smaltosfera: <b>Zoya <i>Song</i></b>, dalla collezione <i>Diva</i> dell'autunno 2012, un bellissimo blu zaffiro shimmer arricchito da glassflecks che creano una profondità davvero non indifferente.<br />
Song è un one coater, anche se nelle mie foto vedrete il risultato di due passate volte unicamente a consolidarne la profondità. Asciuga in tempi rapidissimi ed ha una formula piacevolissima da stendere. Sulla durata nulla da ridire, la solita settimana senza alcun problema sulle mie unghie.<br />
Anche per Song non è stato facile riuscire ad evitare i riflessi, purtroppo nelle foto se ne notano alcuni orrendi! Lo vedrete sia da solo sia con un TC glossy, quando ho tolto tutto mi è venuto in mente che avrei potuto anche renderlo satin....ma onestamente non avevo voglia di rimettere lo stesso smalto, anche perché la rimozione non è stata proprio indolore (nonostante i litri di olio preventivi attorno all'unghia).<br />
Amo questo smalto, se non si fosse capito è uno dei miei Zoya preferiti e sono proprio contenta di averlo nel cassetto. E voi? Cosa ne pensate di questo zaffiro?<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">I've finally got a Polish polish to show you today (it's been such a long time since I'd wanted to say this :D): <b>Colour Alike</b> is a Polish brand which deserves a lot of attention IMO, they've recently opened an <a href="http://colouralike.com/" target="_blank">international shop</a> and they've got many different finishes, even if I'm in love with their holographic range.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I got my very first Colour Alike babies thanks to a very kind person who spent his holidays in Poland last August and who's been so kind to check each single store to buy them for me (and it's been a very long journey before these bottles came home, you can spot some damages in the pictures) and today I'm showing you <i style="font-weight: bold;">Jeżyce</i>, an amazing holographic purple.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Jeżyce is highly pigmented, you'll be seeing two coats on my nails but a single one is enough to achieve a perfect coverage. The formula is flawless, a bit thicker than the ones I'm used to and therefore easier to work with. The brush is a classical one and easily manageable. Quick drying time and great longevity, besides no need at all of a specific base and TC, made me immediately fall in love with this baby. Plus, it's true I've got a huge ton of purples in my helmers, but I haven't got any similar to this, so...I'm really happy with my Polish baby and I'm longing for more to join in. And you? What about you?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Oggi vi porto in Polonia, <b>Colour Alike</b> è infatti un brand polacco che sta facendo capolino sulla blogosfera da qualche tempo e che merita molta attenzione. Hanno aperto da poco anche un sito di <a href="http://colouralike.com/" target="_blank">vendita internazionale</a>, se volete andare a ficcanasare un po'.<br />
Hanno smalti di svariati finish, anche se i miei preferiti sono gli olografici (neanche a dirlo). I miei primi Colour Alike mi sono arrivati grazie ad un'anima pia che me li ha presi durante un viaggio in Polonia (la boccetta porta i segni delle transumanze che ha subìto prima di arrivare a me) e quello che vi mostro oggi è <b><i>Jeżyce</i></b>, un olografico viola veramente stupendo.<br />
Lo smalto è molto pigmentato, nelle mie foto vedrete due passate di rito, ma ne sarebbe bastata anche una sola. La formula è perfetta, una punta più densa rispetto a quelle che ho provate fino ad ora e, per questo, molto più semplice da stendere ed il pennellino è classico e molto maneggevole. L'asciugatura è stata rapida e non ho avuto problemi di durata. Inoltre non c'è stato bisogno di TC né di alcuna base apposita, per cui questo smalto è promosso a pieni voti.<br />
Mi sono letteralmente innamorata del colore, ho tantissimi viola nel cassetto, ma nessuno di questa precisa tonalità. Dopo averlo provato, posso solo dire che ne vorrei altri. Li vorrei tutti. E voi? Che mi dite?<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">With today's post I'll introduce you my complete inability to portrait creme polishes. The fact is I strongly hate reflections on glossy nail polishes and I can hardly avoid them while photographing my creme babies. I usually take pics on my terrace and my neighbour has a real jungle on hers: plants and trees-to-be everywhere...can you imagine which sort of reflections I could get on my nails? I-completely-abhor. BTW I tried to do my best in any sort of contorsions to take these pics, yet I'm not 100% satisfied with the result. But I'd better stop complaining and get back on topic.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><b>Zoya <i>Pinta</i></b> comes from their Fall 2009 <i>Dare</i> collection and it's a gorgeous dark purple creme with strong blue undertones. My typical colour. Let me tell you I've actually already shown it <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.com/2014/08/born-pretty-store-2mm3mm-mini-cute.html" target="_blank">here</a>, even if it might be hard for you to match it here and there :D</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Just like any other Zoya, even Pinta is flawless and a pleasure to work with, plus it's a real one coater so could you ask anything more from a polish? The only advice I can give you is to drain your brush carefully 'cause it holds a ton of polish even if you think it's ok: you'll risk to suddenly have a heavy "<i>blop</i>" on your nail. A part from this technical tip, Pinta dries quickly and super glossy (no TC in pics) and lasts never-endingl-ly (at least on my nails).</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">So, I always end up spreading love when it comes to <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/search/label/Zoya" target="_blank">Zoya</a>, I'd better stop fawning and let my readers talk. What do you think?</span><br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Lo smalto di oggi è l'emblema della mia incapacità di fotografare un creme. Il mio problema è che nelle foto odio i riflessi sullo smalto (e facendo foto in terrazza nei pressi della jungla di piante della vicina lascio a voi immaginare quali paesaggi mi si disegnino ogni volta sulle unghie), li detesto proprio, ed alcuni creme hanno il pregio di essere talmente glossy da sembrare specchi e questo si traduce in una miriade di riflessi sulla superficie dell'unghia. Ho fatto le contorsioni per cercare di evitarli, tuttavia non ci sono riuscita al 100%.<br />
Ad ogni modo chiudo la parentesi da <i>mugugno genovese</i> per parlarvi dello smalto di oggi, che in realtà avete già visto in altra veste in <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.com/2014/08/born-pretty-store-2mm3mm-mini-cute.html" target="_blank">questo post</a> anche se vi sembrerà strano.<br />
<b>Zoya <i>Pinta</i></b> fa parte della collezione <i>Dare</i> dell'autunno 2009 ed è una crema viola scuro dai forti sottotoni blu. Il mio tipico colore insomma. Mi ha stupita moltissimo, la formula è ottima come in tutti gli altri Zoya ed è un one coater. L'unico accorgimento che mi sento di darvi è di scaricare bene il pennello prima di accostarvi all'unghia perché raccoglie veramente un sacco di smalto: anche se vi sembrerà che ce ne sia la giusta quantità vi ritroverete all'improvviso con una badilata che cola tutta insieme. Ad ogni modo l'asciugatura è molto rapida e super lucida, nelle mie foto non vedrete una che sia una goccia di TC. Durata immensa, come al solito, sulle mie unghie.<br />
Che dire, potrei fare un copia incolla di quanto ho detto fino ad ora per tutti gli altri <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/search/label/Zoya" target="_blank">Zoya</a> che vi ho mostrati: solamente tanto tanto amore. Sono però curiosa di sapere cosa ne pensate voi!<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">I must thank <a href="http://www.maisenzasmalto.com/" target="_blank">Aly</a> for today's post, many months ago she sent me three awesome babies by <b>Depend</b> 'cause she knew I was longing for them, I was really curious to try some out and I'm finally showing you the first one I've picked from my drawer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Let me say I've been quite shocked when I've seen them for the first time, the bottle is super super tiny!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><b><i>2033</i></b> is a light blue base with a strong linear holographic effect. Don't let the first coat get you upset, it looks really sheer but a second coat will let you reach a perfect coverage. It dries very quickly, the formula is flawless (neither too thick nor too liquid) and it's a pleasure to work with, plus it doesn't need any specific base. Nothing to complain about longevity either...this baby is really awesome!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I'm really happy I've finally got some of these Swedish babies, they're really worth owning! Don't you think?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Per lo smalto di oggi devo (finalmente) ringraziare <a href="http://www.maisenzasmalto.com/" target="_blank">Aly</a> che millenni orsono mi ha fatto dono di tre splendide boccette <b>Depend</b>. Arrivo con tutta lentezza, ma arrivo!<br />
Li ho sognati tanto, mi intrigava vedere queste boccettine (sì, sono veramente minuscole, sembrano uscite da uno scrigno Polly Pocket - momento vintage :D) sui blog delle mie smaltamiche ed ero davvero curiosa di toccarli con mano.<br />
<b><i>2033</i></b> è un olografico azzurro chiaro dall'effetto veramente marcato. Non lasciatevi spaventare dalla prima passata (che più sheer non si può), ne basta una seconda per renderlo estremamente coprente. L'asciugatura è rapidissima, la formula è perfetta, né troppo densa né troppo liquida, e si stende più che facilmente e senza bisogno di basi apposite. Nessuna obiezione neanche dal punto di vista della durata! Insomma, questo piccolo olografico svedese merita davvero tutta la nostra attenzione, non vi pare?<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">This might not be a news for you if you're already following me on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MiseryLovesBlue" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, but if not...well, be warned 'cause the day has come.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I've fallen in love with a red. And I'm not talking about a pseudo red just like <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/2014/07/birthstone-challenge-ruby-zoya-blair.html" target="_blank">Blair</a> which is a dark one, I'm loving a red red this time. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">And <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Foxypawspolish" target="_blank">Charlotte</a>'s the only one to blame for this. She's a very sweet Danish lady, mum-to-be, with a proper work and a family and furry friends to take care of, who dedicates some of her spare time to run an <a href="http://foxyfingertips.com/" target="_blank">online shop</a> and create nail polishes. <b><a href="http://www.foxypawspolish.com/" target="_blank">Foxy Paws</a></b> is her indie brand and if I may, I suggest you to take a look 'cause you're surely find something matching your tastes among her glitters, holos, neons, GITDs....</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><b><i>It Takes A Woman</i></b> comes from the <i>Holo, Dolly!</i> collection which takes inspiration from the Hello, Dolly! Broadway musical. It's a cherry red linear holo (and I'm again sorry for this, my camera killed its linear effect off again =.= believe me, it's much more evident than it appears) whose rainbow hues lean mainly towards a pink tone. It's on the jelly side but I've reached a perfect coverage in three coats and nevertheless drying time has been super quick and longevity amazing. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I'm deeply in love with it, I knew it'd have been like this since I saw it. And let me tell you this got me kind of upset for the whole day. I mean, me? A red? And this is even more strange 'cause my idiosyncrasy towards red polishes is still solid! It Takes A Woman is my exception, and what for an exception I must say! I still don't know if that's because it's a holo one, yet I love it. Isn't it wonderful?</span><br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Per chi mi segue su <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MiseryLovesBlue" target="_blank">Facebook</a> non sarà una novità, avevo già spoilerato la notizia il giorno stesso, per voi che invece mi leggete solo qui è arrivato il momento dello shock.<br />
Ebbene sì, è accaduto l'irreparabile. Mi sono innamorata di un rosso, rosso rosso questa volta, non uno pseudo-rosso dark come <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/2014/07/birthstone-challenge-ruby-zoya-blair.html" target="_blank">Blair</a>.<br />
E la colpa è tutta di una dolcissima fanciulla danese di nome <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Foxypawspolish" target="_blank">Charlotte</a> che oltre ad avere un lavoro vero e proprio, ad avere una famiglia e dei pelosi da accudire e ad aspettare una bimba, ha anche un <a href="http://foxyfingertips.com/" target="_blank">negozio online</a> e produce smalti. <b><a href="http://www.foxypawspolish.com/" target="_blank">Foxy Paws</a></b>, infatti, è il suo indie brand tutto made in Denmark. E vi consiglio di andare a dare un'occhiata se già non lo conoscete perché ce n'è per tutti i gusti: holo, glitter, neon, GITD...<br />
<b><i>It Takes A Woman</i></b> fa parte della collezione <i>Holo, Dolly!</i> ispirata al musical Hello, Dolly! e si tratta di un rosso ciliegia dall'effetto olografico lineare (decisamente più marcato in realtà rispetto a quanto mostrino le foto) il cui spettro ha una spiccata componente rosa. La formula è piuttosto jelly, ma ho ottenuto una coprenza perfetta in tre passate. L'asciugatura è stata rapidissima e la durata, anche qui, eccezionale.<br />
Ne sono proprio innamorata, è stata una scintilla inspiegabile. Visto, preso, amato. E non vi nego che la cosa mi abbia destabilizzata moltissimo, data la mia storica idiosincrasia per il rosso (che continua a restare ben radicata). It Takes A Woman è la mia eccezione. Sarà il potere holo? Non lo so. Ma non è semplicemente stupendo?<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">Today I'm guest posting at <a href="http://peebeforepolish.blogspot.it/" target="_blank">Pee Before Polish</a>! Cristina's on her way to her honeymoon and she's been so kind to ask me to do something for her. Way far from her nail art skills, though!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">What are you waiting for? Have a look at her blog to see what I've done, and follow her if you already don't...how could you miss her amazing nails?</span><br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Quest'oggi ho il mio primo guest post, su <a href="http://peebeforepolish.blogspot.it/" target="_blank">Pee Before Polish</a>! Cristina, infatti, sta volando verso la sua luna di miele ed è stata così gentile da chiedermi di creare qualcosa per lei. Nulla a che vedere con le sue capacità nailartistiche, eh! Non aspettatevi grandi cose!<br />
Cosa state aspettando? Non siete ancora andate a vedere cosa ho combinato? E non dimenticate di seguirla, non vorrete certo perdervi quel capolavoro che sono le sue unghie!<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">Come to an end with <b>Kiko</b>'s holographic beauties I've decided to start a new series for our <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/search/label/From%20The%20Vault" target="_blank">From The Vault</a> appointments and I'm going to show you their <i>Sugar Mat</i> nail polishes. Well, Kiko seems to be prone to discontinue any finish loved by their customers. Sugar Mat bottles, in fact, have been discontinued just a few weeks after their launch (and keep in mind they were mostly sold-out); then, a limited edition box set appeared last Christimas, and this was the last textured batch by the Italian brand. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Today I've got for you <b><i>643 Spring Green</i></b> which was part of their glittery textured series: it's a super bright lawn green (don't mind my pictures, my camera has decided to kill its whole brightness off, I'm sorry for that) enriched with golden microglitters as a wonderful shimmer effect. This nail polish is super pigmented and very easy to work with, you'll see two coats only in my pictures and they got dry super quickly. No complaints at all about longevity, I didn't have any issues for 6 days. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Well, let me say I got this baby before I got truly aware of my love for bright greens and it's been love at first sight. It's so beautiful, especially under the sunlight. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I know textureds are to be loved or hated, so...what about you? Did you like this one?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Terminata la carrellata di olografici <b>Kiko</b>, per continuare il nostro appuntamento con i <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/search/label/From%20The%20Vault" target="_blank">reperti archeosmaltosi</a> ho deciso di intraprendere la strada degli <i>Sugar Mat</i>, altro successone che il marchio italiano sembra aver archiviato. Sì, perché dopo una prima ondata (sold-out) di smalti materici, quasi subito discontinuati, ne abbiamo rivisti alcuni solo lo scorso Natale in un cofanetto in edizione limitata. Quello che vi mostro oggi, <b><i>643 Verde Primavera</i></b>, fa parte della prima ondata di materici Kiko e rientra nella collezione "glitter", infatti si tratta di un verde prato molto acceso (che la mia fotocamera ha pensato bene di uccidere) vivacizzato da uno shimmer microglitter dorato. La formula è molto pigmentata e facilissima da stendere, nelle mie foto vedrete il risultato di due sole passate la cui asciugatura è stata rapidissima. Per quanto riguarda la durata non ho avuto alcun problema, nonostante il finish lo smalto ha avuto vita lunghissima sulle mie unghie.<br />
Ho acquistato Verde Primavera in tempi ancora non sospetti, ero agli inizi della mia passione verde brigh, e me ne sono innamorata subito. E' davvero stupendo, soprattutto sotto al sole.<br />
Posto che il finish debba piacere, perché non è da tutte, cosa pensate di questo gioiellino?<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">Today I'm going to show you a <b>Jade</b> from their new holographic collection, <b><i>Over The Rainbow</i></b>... aka "I was looking for a hot pink holo...". Yes, this is what I was looking for while I've decided to pick this one. A hot pink holo. And then...once worn it turned out to be some sort of orchid pink which is way far from what I expected. And I'm not saying it's not good, it's just...different. BTW it took me a few minutes only to let <i>the Brazilian holographic awe</i> prevail.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Just as any other holo by this brand, even Over The Rainbow is a jelly one: it's quite sheer and you'll be seeing 3 coats in my pictures; drying time is average, far from being quick yet not so slow either and longevity is amazing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I must say the base colous is actually warmer than it appears in my pics, the first one is the most accurate while the others look colder because of the cold hues in the holographic effect. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">What to say, then? It's a Brazilian holo and you oughta know about my devotion to their babies. Even if they're still Big5-full! And you? Do you like this one?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Il sottotitolo del post di oggi dovrebbe essere: "Volevo un holo hot pink...". Sì, quando ho scelto <b><i>Over The Rainbow</i></b> della nuova collezione olografica <b>Jade</b> l'ho fatto perché speravo fosse un hot pink/fucsia sparaflashante. E invece....una volta steso si è trasformato in un color orchidea (che sembra andare tanto di moda) ben lontano da quanto mi aspettassi. Non che sia brutto eh, per carità, ma non è ciò che volevo. Ad ogni modo, passato il primo momento di delusione cromatica è tornata l'<i>estasi olografica pure Brazil 100%</i>.<br />
Come tutti gli altri olografici del marchio, anche Over The Rainbow è tendenzialmente jelly, è un po' sheer e nelle mie foto vedrete 3 passate necessarie a coprire la lunetta. L'asciugatura è stata normale, non velocissima ma nemmeno tartarughesca. Sulla durata, invece, nulla da eccepire.<br />
Il colore di base è un pelino più caldo di come appare in foto, la prima è la più fedele mentre nelle altre la prevalenza dei riflessi olografici freddi hanno reso il rosa molto più freddo di quanto sia in realtà.<br />
Cosa dire? E' un brasiliano e credo sia ormai risaputo quanto sia devota ai loro olografici. Nonostante continuino ad essere Big5-Full. E a voi? Piace?<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">I've got another <b>Kaleidoscope by El Corazón </b>for you today, my second one from their <i>Dreams About Spring</i> collection: <i style="font-weight: bold;">09 Magic Flower</i>.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">As I've already told you in my previous post about <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/2014/08/kaleidoscope-by-el-corazon-08-call-of.html" target="_blank">Call Of A Bluebell</a>, this collection is made up of creme polishes enhanced by a unique electric blue shimmer. These microglitters are super tiny and super easy to remove, I didn't have any issues. If I am to be fussy I can say the only trouble I had was during my clean-up steps because the brush immediately removes nail polish leaving the glitters, but you can easily fix this issue with a further clean-up round.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Magic Flower is a bright light green creme leaning to neon hues (while removing it my cotton was completely neon yellow), even if my camera softened its tones, as it usually happens with neons. Even this one has a flawless formula: it's self flattening and highly pigmented, two thin coats to reach a perfect coverage. Super fast drying and long lasting. No TC this time. (I know it can sound weird I'm always talking good of my nail polishes, be sure I've got many I had trouble with...it's only I feel more comfortable in showing you good ones. We'll have time for the bad ones too, anyway).</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">If I should tell, I've found Magic Flower even more striking than Call Of A Bluebell, maybe because here the contrast between the base colour and the shimmer looks stronger. What do you think? Do you like it?</span><br />

Come vi avevo già anticipato parlandovi di <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/2014/08/kaleidoscope-by-el-corazon-08-call-of.html" target="_blank">Call Of A Bluebell</a>, questa collezione è caratterizzata da smalti creme vivacizzati da un particolare shimmer blu elettrico composto da finissimi microglitter che non creano alcun problema in sede di rimozione. Volendo essere pignoli ostacolano un pochettino il clean up perché il pennello si porta via facilmente lo smalto e meno il microglitter, ma il tutto è risolvibile con un po' di accortezza ed una passata ulteriore.<br />
Magic Flower è una crema verde chiaro dai toni quasi neon: è a base prettamente gialla (rimuovendolo il cotone era giallo evidenziatore <3) ed il colore è molto acceso (nonostante la fotocamera lo abbia praticamente ucciso). Anche in questo la formula è stata un sogno, nessun problema di stesura e pigmentazione decisamente elevata: due strati sottili senza TC nelle mie foto. Asciugatura molto veloce e durata nuovamente Highlander (non abbiate timore, ho nei cassetti parecchi smalti rognosi e che durano il tempo di stendere la pennellata, è solo che proprio in virtù di quello mi sale lo sconforto a parlarne...ma arriveranno, non temete!).<br />
Lasciatemi dire che in Magic Flower ho apprezzato maggiormente il contrasto base/shimmer, è molto più vistoso, forse anche grazie al punto di colore della base.<br />
Vi piace? Condividete i vostri pensieri!<br />

<a name='more'></a><br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">It's been a while since I've posted my last manicure with studs so I've got for you another wheel I've received from <b><a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a></b>: <i style="font-weight: bold;">2mm/3mm Mini Cute Square & Round Stud Acrylic UV Gel Nail Art Decoration</i> which can be found as <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/2mm3mm-mini-cute-square-round-stud-acrylic-nail-decoration-1box-p-14482.html" target="_blank">ID 14482</a>. 12 sections, 6 chrome hues (green, yellow, light blue and 3 different shades of pink) and 2 shapes: 3mm square studs and 2mm round ones. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">As I've already told you, 3mm ones could be a little problematic if you have strongly curved nails and if you happen to place your decoration right in the middle: you might experience lasting issues and some corners of your studs might stick out. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">As usual I didn't use any glue and I had them placed directly onto my Essence Soft Touch TC being it still wet using my tweezers. They're easy to use, easy to remove and let you create a classy nail art in glance. Plus their chrome finish makes them sparkle under the sunlight and I've really enjoyed looking at my hands. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I decided to wear them this way just to let you see as much as possible, but I'm surely gonna try different patterns in the future. What do you think?</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">And don't forget you can use my <b>XLSQ10</b> discount code for your <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/Nail%20Art-c-268.html" target="_blank">nail art</a> shopping, it's worth of a 10% off your cart, except on items </span><span style="color: #20124d;">already on sale</span><span style="color: #20124d;"> </span><span style="color: #20124d;">. </span><br />

<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Dopo un pochino di assenza faccio ritorno con i miei amati studs, quest'oggi ho per voi un'altra ruotina che ho ricevuta da <b><a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a></b>: si tratta dell' <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/2mm3mm-mini-cute-square-round-stud-acrylic-nail-decoration-1box-p-14482.html" target="_blank">ID 14482</a>, <b><i>2mm/3mm Mini Cute Square & Round Stud Acrylic UV Gel Nail Art Decoration</i></b>. E' composta da 12 sezioni contenenti studs quadrati da 3mm e studs tondi da 2mm accoppiati per colore: troverete tre diverse tonalità di rosa, giallo, verde e azzurro, tutti cromati. Come vi avevo già anticipato nelle scorse review, gli studs da 3mm se posizionati al centro possono creare qualche problema di aderenza nel caso in cui aveste l'unghia molto arcuata.<br />
Come di consueto non è stato necessario utilizzare colla, li ho applicati direttamente sul Soft Touch di Essence non ancora asciutto con l'aiuto di una pinzetta. Facili da applicare e facili da rimuovere, per una nail art di classe nel minimo tempo possibile e con nessuna difficoltà.<br />
Per farvene vedere il più possibile le ho combinate in questo modo: vi piacciono?<br />
L'effetto cromato, sotto al sole, le rende davvero scintillanti.<br />
Non dimenticate di utilizzare il mio codice sconto per i vostri acquisti di <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/Nail%20Art-c-268.html" target="_blank">nail art</a> e non sul sito! <b>XLSQ10</b> vi darà diritto ad una riduzione del 10% su tutti gli articoli che non siano già scontati.<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">I'm taking you back to Singapore today to show you my second and last pick from <b>F.U.N. Lacquer</b>'s Summer collection (it's your fault, <a href="http://www.polishinail.com/en/" target="_blank">Polishinail</a>, only yours and of your sales :D). </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><b><i>Starry Night Of The Summer </i></b>(SNotS from now on) is an amazing midnight blue base (even if while in the bottle you might think it's purple) with a stunning linear holo effect.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Mine was on the thick side, a bit too much I think, but I don't know if it's meant to be this way because of its pigment or if this was due to any temperature exposure during its 15-day journey to reach me. Anyway I've decided to wear it as it was just to see if it worked, so I didn't put it in the fridge and I didn't use any thinner either. Just for help I had a single thin coat over Aqua base, that's what you'll be seeing in my pictures. Yes, a single thin coat only: its actually this pigmented! I was astonished. Despite its thickness it dried super quickly, I didn't use TC and it lasted really long too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">You might all know the sun's been playing hide and seek for the whole Summer here so I had to take pictures in different light conditions, by the way I've been lucky enough to catch a lightning quick sun so you'll see some direct sunlight pictures too. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Mind that it's been really hard to catch its holographic effect 'cause SNotS is so much sparkling my camera could barely set focus. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">This polish is simply glorious. And I'm not saying that because I'm partial and this blog's name is Loves Blue, believe me. I'm really happy I got it in the end. And what about you? Do you like it? Do you have it?</span><br />
<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Oggi si ritorna a Singapore con un altro olografico di <b>F.U.N Lacquer</b>, questa volta direttamente dalla attuale collezione estiva (sì, alla fine ho ceduto anche io ed è stata tutta colpa di <a href="http://www.polishinail.com/en/" target="_blank">Polishinail</a> e dei saldi estivi!).<br />
<b><i>Starry Night Of The Summer</i></b> (SNotS) è una base blu notte dall'effetto olografico lineare veramente marcato, anche se in boccino, per via del pigmento holo, potrebbe sembrare quasi viola.<br />
La formula, nel mio, era decisamente densa, ma non so se sia nato così o se sia da imputare ad eventuali condizioni meteo durante i 15 giorni di trasporto. Ho provato a stenderlo ugualmente così com'era, senza metterlo in frigo e senza usare il thinner, per vedere che effetto avesse.<br />
Per aiutarmi, data la densità, ho steso un velo di Aqua Base ed una sola passata di smalto.<br />
SNotS è decisamente pigmentato e, nonostante lo spessore della formula, è asciugato in tempi rapidi. Non ho utilizzato TC e la durata è stata a dir poco sorprendente.<br />
Visto che il tempo non è stato molto clemente ed il sole latita da parecchio, ho fatto le foto in due tempi. Le ultime due sono state fatte in condizioni di scarso soleggiamento mentre per le altre ho approfittato di un attimo fuggente senza nuvole nel primo pomeriggio. E' stato comunque difficile catturarne l'arcobaleno, in piena luce è talmente sfavillante da sfasare completamente la messa a fuoco della fotocamera!<br />
Insomma, non lo dico perchè Misery Loves Blue, ma questo smalto è davvero glorioso. Sono proprio contenta di averlo portato a casa! E voi, avete ceduto?<br />

And what a gem I've found! What the hell has the Chanel to do with péridot I've still to spot (</span><a href="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Misery%20Loves%20Blue/FN.jpg" target="_blank">nothing</a><span style="color: #20124d;">, maybe?).</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Péridot is an amazing gem whose colour shifts from a yellowish green hue even to brownish tones and in Hawaii it symbolizes the tears of Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes. This gem is said to host magical powers and healing properties to protect against nightmares and to bring the wearer power, influence, and a wonderful year.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">When I was surfing the net to search for some péridot pics I immediately knew I had to celebrate it with one of my latest bottles, a <b>F.U.N. Lacquer</b> from their Summer 2014 holo collection: <b><i>Mowed Meadow</i></b>. I think its hue is perfectly matching this gem and then it's amazing and so precious!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Mowed Meadow is a stunning linear holographic polish in a yellowish light green base: that typical lawn green hue I'm not used to like but here...it's different. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">The formula in this is perfect: neither too thick nor too liquid and there's no need to use any specific base. It's highly pigmented and I'm showing you two thin coats only. Mowed Meadow is a pleasure to work with, plus it dries quickly and lasts really long. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I'm really happy I've yielded to it in the end, I didn't have anything like this in my stash and I've felt in awe while watching at my hands under the sunlight. Outstanding.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Don't forget to tell me what you think of it in the comments and...have a look to my mates' picks for today!</span><br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> La gemma di questo mese mi ha regalato grandi soddisfazioni contrariamente a quanto avessi inizialmente pensato, infatti credevo che tra tutte sarebbe stata quella che mi avrebbe creato maggiori problemi. Per me, ignorante dichiarata in gemmologia, la parola péridot è stata associata allo smalto di Chanel (che oltretutto nemmeno mi piace) ed esiste nel mio vocabolario da un paio d'anni, non sapevo nemmeno fosse una gemma prima di partecipare a questa challenge, e che gemma oltretutto! Cosa c'entra il péridot con lo Chanel? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0qNEXz6S3k" target="_blank">Una beata....</a> Ho scoperto nel péridot una gemma bellissima che varia nella sua colorazione da punte di verde/giallo fino al marrone e che, alle Hawaii, viene considerata lacrima di Pele, la dea dei vulcani e del fuoco. Il Péridot è creduto avere poteri magici e proprietà curative nonché si ritiene doni a chi lo indossa protezione dagli incubi, potere ed un forte ascendente sugli altri.<br />
Appena google mi ha regalato immagini del péridot ho subito pensato che lo avrei celebrato con uno degli ultimi arrivati a casa, un olografico <b>F.U.N. Lacquer</b> della collezione estiva: <b><i>Mowed Meadow</i></b>. Trovo il colore molto appropriato.<br />
Mowed Meadow è un verde chiaro a forte base gialla, il tipico verde prato che a me solitamente non piace, ma al quale non ho saputo resistere in questa veste (sarà per via dell'effetto olografico spaccaretina?).<br />
La formula è perfetta, né troppo liquida né troppo densa, e si stende con grandissima facilità: non c'è alcun bisogno di utilizzare basi apposite. In più è molto pigmentato (due sole passate sottili nelle mie foto), asciuga in tempi rapidissimi ed ha una durata eccezionale.<br />
Sono proprio contenta di averlo preso, un colore del genere mancava nei miei helmer e mi ha davvero sorpresa, ne sono rimasta estasiata...è davvero particolare.<br />
Prima di salutarvi, però, fatemi sapere cosa ne pensate nei commenti e non dimenticate di andare a curiosare le olivine delle altre compari!<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">First time again on the blog today, I've got an amazing Australian indie brand for you guys: <b>Celestial Cosmetics</b> by Nicki. Her polishes are all Big5-free and she creates many great babies among which you can find glitters, cremes, shimmers, neons, holos... Luckily for us we can find them at <a href="http://www.edgypolish.com/brands/celestial-cosmetics/" target="_blank">Edgy Polish</a> and I've yielded to a couple of holos (with Sir Oscar Wilde's blessing!). </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><b><i>Noel's Nuts</i></b> (what for a weird name, isn't it?) is an amazing blue based light violet linear holo: its formula is flawless and perfectly covering in two thin coats, it doesn't need any specific base coat. The brush is a classical one, drying time is very quick and longevity is awesome. You can spot each single in its holographic rainbow and the effect is really strong. I can just say I'm really in love with this beauty, it got me completely. And the shade, look at this shade of violet, isn't it simply amazing?</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Indie brands are seriously getting dangerous for our wallets, aren't they? Maybe even the major salon brands should learn from this and try to give us something new and different for their ordinary cremes and shimmers. In the end we are their customers and this is what we want! Please, listen to us!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Well..back in topic. Have you ever heard of or tried any Celestial Cosmetics? Do you like Noel's Nuts? Tell me in the comments!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Un'altra prima volta sul blog anche per questa puntata olografica, oggi vi presento un indie brand australiano, <b>Celestial Cosmetics</b>, ideato da Nicki. I suoi smalti sono tutti 5-free e spaziano tra diversi finish, dai glitter ai creme agli holo ai neon. In Europa si trovano da <a href="http://www.edgypolish.com/brands/celestial-cosmetics/" target="_blank">Edgy Polish</a> e, nemmeno a dirlo, la mia scelta è ricaduta sugli olografici.<br />
Quello di oggi ha un nome piuttosto bizzarro, <b><i>Noel's Nuts</i></b>, e si tratta di un viola chiaro a base blu dall'effetto olografico lineare. La formula è ottima e perfetta, coprente in due passate sottili senza alcuna necessità di una base specifica. Il pennellino è classico, l'asciugatura molto rapida e la durata ottima. L'arcobaleno si percepisce in ogni sua componente e l'effetto è marcato...insomma, che dire, non è stupendo? Ha un punto di colore davvero favoloso.<br />
Questi indie stanno diventando davvero pericolosi per le nostre finanze! Sarebbe bene che anche i marchi commerciali si decidessero ad uscire un po' dal seminato e tentassero di proporre qualcosa di diverso dai soliti creme e dai soliti shimmer. Date retta a me, ascoltate il cliente :D<br />
Avete mai provato un Celestial? Che ve ne pare?<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">Today I'm showing you a new bottle of mine directly from the <b>Kaleidoscope</b> range <b>by El Corazón</b>. <b><i>08 Call Of A Bluebell</i></b> comes from the <i>Dream About Spring</i> collection which is made up of 9 creme polishes enriched with a very unique electric blue shimmer. It's actually to be considered as "microglitter" but these particles are completely easy to remove and I didn't have any issues (except a little dispersion but nothing to complain about). </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">This one's a gorgeous and </span><span style="color: #20124d;">very pigmented</span><span style="color: #20124d;"> light blue creme: I had a perfect coverage in two coats only and the formula is flawless, not tricky at all. Drying time is quick and longevity very good. It's not super shiny once dry but I really loved its finish. I'm wearing no TC in my pics yet you'll be seeing some experiments with a glossy and a satin TC in the last two shots at the bottom of the page. I can say I'm really pleased with this polish on its own even if I did really enjoy the matte finish as well, while I didn't find any noticeable difference between Call Of A Bluebell alone and glossy. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Let me tell you I've fallen in love with this collection since I've discovered it at <a href="http://www.hypnoticpolish.com/collections/kaleidoscope-by-el-corazon" target="_blank">Maria's</a>, it's a very particular finish and I've bought 4!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">And now I'm curious to read about your thoughts, what do you think of such an unusual shimmer? Do you like it?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 11.999999046325684px;">«·´¨*·.¸¸ •¸¸.·*¨`·»</span></div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Lo smalto che vi mostro oggi fa parte della linea <b>Kaleidoscope di El Corazón</b> e viene dalla collezione <i>Dreams About Spring</i>. L'intera collezione è composta da 9 smalti creme arricchiti da un particolarissimo shimmer blu elettrico: microglitter finissimi che non danno alcun problema durante la rimozione (se non un pizzico di dispersione, ma non sono assolutamente ostici da rimuovere...anzi, sembra quasi che nemmeno ci siano!).<br />
Il protagonista di oggi è il numero <b><i>08 Call Of A Bluebell</i></b> e si tratta di un bellissimo punto di azzurro, molto pigmentato: è perfettamente coprente in due passate, la formula è strepitosa e per nulla tricky. Asciuga in tempi veramente rapidi e non ha alcun problema dal punto di vista della durata. Eccetto nelle ultime due foto in cui ho giocato sul contrasto glossy/matte, non ho utilizzato TC. L'effetto al naturale, nonostante non sia superlucido, mi piace moltissimo, ma anche in versione matte non mi dispiace affatto. Con il TC glossy, invece, non ho trovato questa grande differenza rispetto allo smalto portato da solo.<br />
Mi sono innamorata di questi smalti sin da subito, quando li ho visti da <a href="http://www.hypnoticpolish.com/collections/kaleidoscope-by-el-corazon" target="_blank">Maria</a>, ho trovato l'effetto molto particolare e diverso e ne ho portati a casa quattro in tutto.<br />
Sono curiosa di leggere i vostri pareri...cosa ne pensate di questo shimmer un po' diverso?<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">Welcome back to Brazil, today's polish has got many facets and it's not been easy at all trying to describe it. <b><i>Morfeu</i></b> joined 2013 version of the previous <i>Hits No Olimpo</i> collection by <b>Speciallitá</b> and it's a glorious and perfect linear holographic baby.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Morfeu has a very peculiar base colour, it's some sort of warm brown with red undertones which, depending on angles and light conditions, shows a grey-ish hue popping up from I don't understand where, exactly. It is basically brown, I had some issues in capturing its warm tones due to its strong holographic effect, but you can spot them in the last two pictures taken in direct sunlight. Outside in the shade, however, you can notice that grey, which I think is due to its turned-off holo particles (it's some sort of dusty look, even if a very subtle holographic effect is still visible), while in the shade indoors it appears mostly a warm brown. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Morfeu is a bit sheer, you'll reach a perfect coverage in two heavy coats or three light ones, the brush is on the wide side but easily manageable and the formula is great and thick to the right point. Drying time is a bit slow (you'll notice a small fingerprint on my pinky in the last picture =.=) and it got me really surprised as, in the shade, it looks like as if it was topcoated, but it's not! It's super glossy on its own far from the sunlight. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">My bottle comes straight from Brazil, but as you can see it's a 3-free one. They've changed their INCI over there too, which is good IMO. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">What to say? I've fallen in love with it since the first glance and I've wanted it so much I'm now super happy to have it my drawers. (Do you remember me<a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/2013/07/holoton-enchanted-polish-hot-chocolate.html" target="_blank"> complaining about the lack of holographic browns</a> in my helmers? Well, it seems I've got a ton now!). </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">What do you think of this baby? Do you like it?</span><br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> Oggi vi riporto in Brasile con uno smalto dalle molte sfaccettature. <b><i>Morfeu</i></b> è una new entry nella rivisitazione 2013 degli <i>Hits No Olimpo</i> di <b>Speciallitá</b> e si tratta di un olografico lineare in pieno stile brasiliano.<br />
La base è molto particolare, un marrone caldo a base rossastra che, a seconda delle angolazioni e delle condizioni di luce, acquisisce una componente grigia che non si sa bene da dove salti fuori. Nella maggior parte delle mie foto lo vedrete tendente al marrone pieno, la mia fotocamera ha avuto qualche problema a carpirne la componente calda per via dell'effetto olografico, ma nelle ultime due in luce solare la si può notare. La componente grigia, invece, si rivela all'ombra in esterno e credo sia dovuta all'effetto dusty creato dalle particelle olografiche "semi-spente" (un sottile effetto olografico è comunque percepibile), mentre all'ombra in interni prevale la componente calda.<br />
Morfeu è un pochino sheer, otterrete una piena coprenza in due passate piuttosto corpose oppure in tre passate sottili (opzione da me scelta), il pennello è piuttosto largo ma facilmente maneggiabile e la formula è ottima e densa al punto giusto. L'asciugatura è un po' più lenta rispetto al solito, infatti nell'ultima foto si intravvede un accenno di impronta digitale sul mignolo =.= Mi sono stupita nel vedere quanto all'ombra Morfeu appaia glossy, sembra quasi che ci sia del TC, ma non è assolutamente così!<br />
Il mio boccino arriva direttamente dal Brasile, ma come noterete fa già parte di quelli riformulati in chiave 3-free. Un punto in più a suo favore!<br />
Mi è piaciuto moltissimo e l'ho desiderato sin dal primo istante, dal <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/2013/07/holoton-enchanted-polish-hot-chocolate.html" target="_blank">lamentare la mancanza di olografici marroni</a> nei miei cassetti mi sono ritrovata ad averne un sacco senza nemmeno rendermene conto. E voi? Cosa ne pensate?<br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ENG.jpg" /> <span style="color: #20124d;">I know it's Summer and I should go for bright colours or neon varnishes and things like that but this polish's been living in my draft for ages (I used it as a base in my BPS multicolor studs <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/2014/06/born-pretty-store-10x-3mm-colorful-oval.html" target="_blank">review</a>) and I think it's time to share it with you. This polish is part of the huge amount of bottles I've received as a b-day gift from my beloved friend Ale (thanks a lot dear!) and it's a gel-like one: <b>Layla <i>Gel Effect 10</i></b>. It's a black base with an amazing formula: highly pigmented (two coats just because I'm used to, an accurate one could be enough), easy to work with, fast drying and long lasting. I didn't use any TC here, since it's a ge-like varnish my aim is to show you what it looks like on its own, but you can see how shiny it becomes with TC in the post I linked above. It's not as glossy as a gel is, but it's surely better than the <i>would-like-to-be-gel </i>ones<i> </i>by Pupa. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I must say I'm really satisfied with this polish, even if I've mistreated my hands I've spotted a light tipwear only after 5 days and, well, I'm a dark girl and black is never enough!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">What about you? Have you ever tried any Gel Effect by Layla? Let me know!</span><br />

<img border="0" src="http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/miserylovesblue/Layout/ITA.png" /> So che siamo in estate, ma ho deciso di mostrarvi uno smalto che giace nelle bozze già da un po' di tempo e che già aveva fatto la sua comparsa in abbinamento agli studs multicolor di BPS che vi ho mostrati <a href="http://miserylovesblue.blogspot.it/2014/06/born-pretty-store-10x-3mm-colorful-oval.html" target="_blank">qui</a>. Si tratta di un altro smalto che ho ricevuto in regalo da una carissima amica ed è un <b>Layla <i>Gel Effect</i></b>, il numero <b><i>10</i></b> nello specifico. Si tratta di una crema nera dalla formula veramente ottima e molto pigmentata, coprente in due passate (solo per abitudine, ne basterebbe una sola se stesa con accortezza), facilmente lavorabile, dall'asciugatura rapida e dalla durata ottima. In queste foto lo vedete al naturale, non ho steso alcun TC perché mi sembrava piuttosto lucido già da solo (anche se non lucidissimo come i gel, sicuramente più lucido dei Pupa), ma se volete vederlo veramente splendente possono aiutarvi le foto del post che vi ho linkato prima in quanto, per fissare gli studs, ho utilizzato un TC. In tutta onestà devo dire di essere rimasta veramente soddisfatta da questo smalto, l'ho maltrattato in tutti i modi possibili ed ho iniziato a vedere i primi segni di tipwear solo al quinto giorno. E poi, da brava dark, il nero non è mai abbastanza!<br />
E voi? Avete mai provato smalti di questa linea? Sono curiosa di sapere cosa ne pensate!<br />
