Powerpuff Girls set

Heya people! I have been away for a while, thanks to my college work. It does not mean I stopped polishing my nails. :) I have the Powerpuff Girls trio for ya today. I admit, I am a big fan of Powerpuff Girls, I like most of the characters, especially Him and Buttercup and Bubbles. I dislike Blossom, because she is such a smartypants. I generally dislike controlfreak-ish, bossy people. And she is 'the leader'. Oh well.:) 

Hits had come up with an entire Powerpuff girls collection, so I asked the lovely Eveline to get me one for each girl. I chose Cotton Candy from Bubbles line, Elemento X from Buttercup's and Pink Night from Blossom's.

Cotton Candy (the last one) is in fact more pink than purple, but my camera refused to show the real warmth of the shade, on the photos it is much too blue based.

Pink Nights is in fact a neon, yes. My first neon too! I love it. It has a tad bit more pink in the red than my photos show. 

Elemento X is a blackened green that looks black most of the time. You see the flash of green, if you really pay attention to your nails though. 

What all of these have in common is a seriously bad brush. I also tried a Hits holo and it came with the same bad brush, so I guess it is how Hits brushes roll or something. Not an easy application with these, especially with Elemento X, where the bristles are actually so stiff they scrape off the polish already on the nails, when applying a new coat. Formula wise they are all two coaters, but thanks to the brush you have to put three for an even mani. Just a fair warning. Still, I love the theme of these bottles. Powerpuff girls, yay! You know what would be awesome? Dexter's Laboratory and Forster's Home for Imaginary Friends collection! Oh, and Beetlejuice too! Oh oh, and Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy! Oh man, that would be so cool. :)

Do you like Powerpuff girls? How about Hits polish?

Thank you for reading!

Jordana - Wicked and 5 minutes tea break for nail-polish

Evening everyone! It has been a loooong day, I had classes until 6 p.m., but am in a chatty mood, I hope you're with me, get a nice cup of tea (or coffee if it's not too late for you) or cocoa and lets us talk nail-polish. Man, I  sound like a bad commercial. :D First I wanna show you an old beauty of mine, it's an old mani, but this was the reason why I started liking glitter. 

Small pictures, I know, like I said, they are old, one of my first swatches, I think. It totally needs three coats, but then becomes amazing, copper specks of glitter in black base, ah! It's quite easy to apply, if you ignore the three coats thing (and three is not a problem for me anyway), dries up a bit rough though, if you don't like that you'll probably need two coats of top coat to make it smooth.

Chat after the klick. :)

China Glaze Month - Blue Sparrow (neon)

Hey everyone. How are you enjoying your Halloween Reformation day (can't resist, I want to contribute to Nina's movement about the acutal holiday that we have here, Halloween is borrowed from the USA, as you all know :))? I'm having a personal party with a very annoying little cold that loves me so much, it won't go away. I swear, when I woke up today, I thought I swallowed a razor blade or two during the night, my throat is killing me. So I'm having Milan Kundera weekend. Actually it's been more like a month or so, I think I've read like 6 of his novels in a row in the past few weeks. I love his works, feel in love with Unbearable Lightness Of Being years ago and I'm still loving it. :) My trip to Česká Republika coincided perfectly with this obsession with the Czech author, so it was even more special. :) 

Anyway, remember me telling you how every once in a while I want to try "not me" colours? Blue Sparrow was a sequel of Bad Landing, but it didn't match it's success, I removed it in a matter of hours. 

In the shade, excuse my middle finger, I don't know what happened there.

As Bad Landing, this isn't my colour at all, and, unlike BL, I hated it on my nails. It's the type of blue I really dislike, it's neon (one trend that I never fell for) and after three coats still very sheer, you can see quite clearly my nail under the polish. I couldn't stand it, I removed it quite soon. And went safe, with a vampy colour, that I've already shown you.
Otherwise a very well behaved polish. Application is a bliss, no trouble at all, brush obeys every order and drying time is superfast.

What do you think? Your type of colour? What about Kundera, do you like him, or do you prefer other novelists? :) 

Thanks for reading!
