#boyfriendpicksmypolish

Contains affiliate link. Contains product previously sent for reviewing purposes.

 The last attempt on #boyfriendpicksmypolish was somewhat successful, I decided to ask him again to pick out some polishes from my stash. Last time he picked a pink polish and a stamping plate, and this time we went with all polishes.

Since last #boyfriendpicksmypolish -entry I have organized my stash, and swatched them out on swatching sticks. I asked him to have a look at them, and select three polishes. Not being keep on looking through so many swatching sticks, he decided to solve it with a formula in Excel.
Since all my polishes are in a spreadsheet it was easy to add a randomizer, and have the formula select three polishes to use.

It picked A England - Tristam, Zoya - Savita and Miss Sporty - 452.
I don't think it is possible to choose more random than that.
A creme, a velvet matte, and a holo.

I took the polishes out of their drawers in my Helmer, and placed them on my desk, in hope that by looking at them together I would get inspired.
A week went by.
Nothing.

Then I decided to just "eff it" and give it a go.

I painted index finger with Zoya - Savita, and A England - Tristam on middle finger and little finger. On my ringfinger I used a thin striping brush and made lines using Zoya - Savita, and A England - Tristam.
I decided to use Qgirl - 022 that I had recently received from Born Pretty Store, and use Miss Sporty - 452, to stamp with on index, middle and little finger.


A England - Tristam, with Zoya - Savita, and Miss Sporty - 452 stamped over.

I actually like how this design ended up looking, if I were get a do-over I would have done something else for my accent. I don't think those stripes worked well with the rest of the design.


If you want to get your hands on the Chic Flower Nail Art Stamp Template Image Plate Pattern #Qgirl-022 it is found at BornPrettyStore and it's sold for $ 2.99.

Zoya - Jo

Hi ladies.
You might know I have a love for blues, and today, I swatched one of the blues that I have.
Zoya - Jo, its truly beautiful.

This is how Zoya describes it:
Zoya Nail Polish in Jo can be best described as: Delicate and serene looking medium periwinkle blue with subtle silver and blue toned shimmer. This calming, flattering blue is like stress relief therapy on your nails!

Here I did one coat of Jo.



I couldn't get myself to do nail art over this. So pretty.

Nail Mail, and a Haul

Hello everyone!
Today I have something fun to show you all, its picture heavy, but its a Nail Mail, and Haul -  post.

Lets start with the Haul!


This is Melina and Vanja from Make Up Store. So pretty... I just love that purple.  Lets take a closer look at both of them. First up is Vanja.


 Such a beauty. I Love purple.
Lets take a closer look at Melina.


Shimmery polish. Thats two coats on the swatching wheel there.


Right next to Make Up Store, I found Lush! I was in need of stocking up more Lemon Flutter, before the winter cold is coming. I am still wearing my red, orange, yellow mani, from the summer challenge, and the girl that worked at Lush, Loved them. From now on, they are going to be called Honey-nails.

After I had been shopping, I went to meet a girl that is selling some of her polishes. I have done so before, but she had found more polishes she wanted to get rid of. Lucky me!


These are my first Misa polishes. Here we have:
178 Forbidden Lust
180 Fatal Affair
 171 A Sin Worth Committing

Last but not least. Here is my third Zoya. This is Jo Its a pearl finished light blue. So pretty...


 That was the Haul, now lets get over to some Nail Mail.
I bought all of this from NailSupplies.us. Shipping anything but flate rate is insanity, especially when ordering to Norway. So I didn't order as much as I would of liked. For flate rate, they have a max of 9 bottles, but when taxes hit in at everything over 200 NOK / 32 USD / 21 GBP (with todays currency), its tight.

 This is what I bought.

I have been wanting Exotic Encounters since I saw the first swatch of it. And finally its here! YaY.
And look, I got Northern Lights (*sqeel*), and China Glaze - Luxe and Lush (!!), and my first Color Club polish, Alter Ego.
Lets take a look at some bottleshots.



I am really looking forward to try this one out.
Next up is Alter Ego- Color Club.
At the website it looked dark and grey/black- ish, but look at this!



Next is Exotic Encounters. Ever seen I saw the first swatches of the Safari - collection, I knew I had to have this babe. I dont really care for the rest of the collection, this I NEEDED. *giggles*



Woohoo! This polish was the only reason why I choose Nailsupplies. Finally, I have it.


And there was more in my mail today. Another package.


Pretty cool, right?




And that was the end of that fun. Be sure to check in tomorrow, for a new post. Hubby is getting visitors over, so I will have my nail corner for myself, and I have some ideas on what do to.

Zoya Savita

So, as you know, I recently got some Zoya polishes, and they needed some lovin`.

Here is Zoya - Savita, with two coats.
As for application, I felt that this was sort of powdery, it reminded me of applying Henna-polish, which is a powder you rub in, on your nails. I can live with that, cause look at the colour, amazing!




Have you tried Henna-polish or the Zoya - Savita? What do you think?

Zoya Kalista

So as you might already know, from this post,  I got Zoya - Kalista. Its a beautiful vampy shade. Application was easy, and it makes my hands look very sophisticated, and mature. Next time I`m going to a conference this will be on my nails.




Do you have any vampy shades in your collection?

Polish Haul

So, today I met this really sweet girl, and I bought some of her polishes.  I found her on a nail polish-forum, and I`m a really happy bunny now.


The China Glaze



I seriously LOVE "Blue Iguana" Look at that pop of blue. I have been looking for a good grey, I hope "Recycle" is the one I`m looking for.

Oh but wait there`s more.

Models Own



Golden Green Beetle Juice goes from dark green, to a golden tone, and I just love it. I`m going to make a mani using these two. Maybe "Pinky Brown.." on two nails and the rest in "Golden Green.."

My first Models Own - polishes! YaY.

My first Zoya-polishes!! 

Group Picture!


Which one do you want to see first?
