Lynnderella - Evermore and Attitude adjust - Mint.

 Lots of pics in the post!
Norway Nails actually carry Lynns. These two are my first, and I have mixed feelings. Read on!
 Attitude Adjust - Mint is a pale pastel mint mint translucent base with pastel toned glitter. This needs undies and I am wearing two coats over a dusty mint polish. It is as you can see really stunning. The quality of the polish is good, the glitter applies evenly and dries nice and flat. The only downside is that this kind of glitter tends to look like dents in certain angles. Besides that, this is really, really lovely.  Soft, sophisticated and sexy.

 In this angle you see what I mean with the glitter looking like dents in the polish. Still stunning.


 Close up and personal.
 Next up is Nevermore. And as the Poe-lover I am, the name is perfect. The idea of the polish, the combo of glitter it self, is really kool. The clear base has multi colored micro glitter and makes the polish really interesting. The black glitter comes in more shapes than I can pin point. Hearts, squares, bares, shredded, round, hex....and more.

 I had a hard time getting good pics of this polish. The thing is: The glitter needs alot of fishing, and with fishing comes more base product onto the nail making the result rather lumpy and uneven.
I have tried it over several different colors, using different tecniques, and my best result is shown over the pale mint polish. Fishing, pulling the brush along side of the bottle opening, dragging off as much base product as you can, then using the dabbing tecnique, pluss dry time between coats. That gives me the best result. One coat with no fishing/dabbing will give you base, and hardly any glitter.

 Close up!
 Big round black glitter - all the rave these days.

Bling!

You can buy Lynnderella from Norway Nails, and her shop on Ebay. They do not come cheap. Are they worth the hype, price and work it takes to get your hands on some? In my opinion: There are so many really good indies on the marked, they are less expencive and easy to come buy and certainly there is less drama. I am a serious collector and I am thrilled I now have two Lynns. I dont give a shit about the bitching.  Unless you are hardcore like me, you can get similar polish for less. Do you want to complete your collection, you do need at least one Lynn.

Nailstation - Vert Acid

 Just a shot blog on a neon green polish from Nailstation.
This looks so killer in the bottle. The pics shows 4 coats and as you can see, very visible nail line. It is listed as a crelly, but to me it seems too think to be a good crelly.
 The color kics ass, and I would have adored it if it wasnt too transparent. This will most def be good for a sandwich, as undies for glitter, or nail art in general.
 Use this over a white polish, and will give you full coverage neon.


It is a really kool, fresh color, but I am not giving it 666 stars.
If you are looking for a neon crelly, this is for you!


You can get this at Norway Nails if you fancy! Use "svartebloggen10 for 10% off your order.

Picture Polish - Jade


Dette er den perfekte turkise lakk.
Why, you sak? SHIMMER VEL!
Shimmer for days, babe.

Om du leser denne jålebloggen vet du at jeg elsker shimmer i lakk.
Jade har masse superfint sølvshimmer som er diskret men overhodet ikke usynlig.
Lakken i seg selv er den perfekte melkehvite turkis, jeg får veldig space vibe av denne. Denne fargen er litt out of this world. Shimmeret er mest tydelig i direkte lys, men sees oxo innendørs.

Du trenger 2 strøk, Jade er fin og flytende uten å blø utover alt. Tørker smooth og er in short amazing.
Turkis er ikke akkurat min farge, men denne er litt weird, den er litt underlig og ikke helt A4.
Og se for den denne med sort shatter glitter? I die.
Direkte sollys

Flasken er helt OK, jeg liker faktisk flasker som har en spesiell fasong fordi de er lettere å kjenne igjen i samlingen. Denne fargen vil kle piker med mørkere hud meget bra, if you ask me.

Pretty Serious - Claris



Jeg har virkelig falt for Pretty Serious.
Lakkene er unike og av outstanding kvalitet, innpakningen er to die for.
Claris er en lakk som virkelig skiller seg ut i mengden av nye lakker jeg har samlet siste tiden.

Read on, read on!

Clairs er en nydelig, rosa/korall/peach jelly med et svært tydelig gullflakes. Jeg elsker lakker med kontrastshimmer. Denne lakken er like killer i flasken som på neglene oxo etter top coat.
So killer.
<3 td="">

Konsistensen er perfekt, lakken fordeler seg flott, den dekker på 2 strøk og tørker smooth.
Dette er lakken jeg kommer til å ha i esken med lakker jeg bruker ofte. Fargen vil kle de bleke piker og piker med mørkere hud.
Perfekt.
Direkte sollys.

Gaaah, I love it so.

a England - Excalibur.


Excalibur er nok en lakk fra kick ass a England sendt av magiske Wenche over at Norway Nails.
Denne lakken viste seg å være noe helt annet enn hva jeg forventet.
 And in a good way!
Jeg trodde dette skulle være en klassisk kombo av frost og creme. But no!
Excalibur er en helt amazing chrome fra kolleksjonen The Mythicals.
Jeg sverger til Stargazer når det gjelder sølv chrome, men nå har Stargazer fått konkuranse. Om du ikke kjenner til myten om Excalibur bør du jobbe i en vernet bedrift for at jeg ikke skal fike til deg. Or stab you. Get it? LÅL.

Anyways: 

Excalibur dekker på 2 strøk, den er smooth as all hell på neglene. Vent litt mellom påføring av nytt lag for å unngå streaking. Med Stargazer må du kjøre minst 3 lak, og den er veldig tynn i konsistensen. Jeg valgte å bruke Cult Nails wicked fast som top coat på denne da jeg har erfaring med at Seche Vite matter ned chrome-effekten.


Som alltid er kosten perfekt. Alt ved Excalibur-lakken er perfection.
Resultatet er skinnende negler som har en jevn overflate. Buy it. You need it.

Kjøpes via a England feks, men jeg anbefaler deg å bruke Norway Nails da å få lakk til landet fra England er en skikkelig bitch on dagen pga nye tollregler.
