Paket Petek (haul post)

Hello my people! How are you doing? It's that great Friday again when I get up to a package awaiting me. This time I was in a hurry and I didn't have time to open it right away, the agony! The package came all the way from Brazil. A wonderful nail polish blogger contacted me a few weeks ago about nail polish that bears her name and if I would be interested in a swap. But of course! I never ever thought I'll get my hands on Brazil beauties so this was a real surprise. Eveline has a nail polish blog with five other Brazilian gals and their photos and nails are absolutely stunning, see for yourself: Tudo Sobre Esmaltes. Let not the langauge be an obstacle, beautiful swatch needs no words. ;)

This package is actually number 2, number 1 is probably still somewhere on the way. Since one of the packages sent to me got lost during Summer I'm a bit anxious about late packages, but I hope all will be fine. Let's have a look at the beauties! 



Gorgeous. <3 Can't wait to play with them. I'm a fan of Powerpuff Girls (one of the rare 'classic girly' cartoons I love) so I had to choose some of them, and I absolutely adore Guacamole and the funky glitter it is. And the Sea Blue franken actually has a bow on the handle, how adorable is that? The one that intrigues me the most is actually Lotus franken, so I just might start with that one. Such a lovely package, Lord of the Rings, am I a happy hobbit!

Eveline, swapping with you was awesome, I'm really glad to meet another amazing person in this lovely nail polish blogsphere. Thanks again!

Do you have any Brazilian polish? 

Thank you for reading!

Vettelicious - Teal Rex

Heya people! How have you been? It's been a couple of days, I know. It's been hell around here and it's not finished yet. But I felt like writing this one, it's been on my list for ages. 

This is one of my most cherished polishes I have. I got it in my swap with the lovely Vetten from Vettelicious blog, it's her teal franken and it was the nicest surprise ever when I unwrapped my own bottle of it. I saw it on her blog, obviously, and that post left me with my jaw on the floor. The bottle design and the colour were just perfect. Perfect, I tell you! This teal still remains my favourite teal, after I've worn it on my nails for days, I can only confirm what I said when seeing the pictures. It's a teal with strong green undertones and with the type of shimmer I adore ... hard do miss why I love it so much.





This is the best colour accuracy I could get, I feel it's sometimes a bit too green, but the rest of the photos kept going totally blue on me. This is basically how it looks like, but you should see it live to see just how incredibly awesome this colour is. Also, the formula on Teal Rex is perfect. I could almost do with only one coat, I did two for full opacity. The brush on the bottle was great too, so yay for that!

Vetten, thank you so much for Teal Rex! It's beautiful. :)

What's your favourite franken or teal? :)
