Today's Mani: Style-ish, Baby! + Mirage + 97

Det her er en kombination af Essence "Style-ish, Baby!", La Femme Beauty "Mirage" og S.H.C. "97". Jeg har skrevet om "Style-ish, Baby!" her. Jeg er generelt ikke vild med La Femme Beauty. Det er et billigt mærke, og kvaliteten er derefter. Men jeg er ret vild med deres glimmerlakker. Efter min mening behøver en glimmerlak ikke at være af nogen særlig kvalitet, den skal bare være smuk. Denne her er en turkis glimmer i en gennemsigtig jellybase. Den er let at komme på, og den tørrer rimelig hurtigt.

S.H.C. er et meget ukendt mærke, og jeg har fået fat i denne flaske i en butik, der sælger kinesiske gaveartikler. Lakken har en gennemsigtig jellybase, og tre forskellige slags turkis glimmer. Små, runde stykker, mellemstore runde stykker og store sekskantede stykker. Den er fantastisk smuk, men den lugter så forfærdeligt, at man får hovedpine af det.

Hele denne manicure var finere i virkeligheden end her på billederne, men den holdt desværre ikke så længe.

"Style-ish, Baby!" er købt i Føtex.
"Mirage" er købt i en Bazaren i Ishøj Bycenter.
"97" er købt i butikken Jia Jia Le på Nørrebrogade.

Her er "Style-ish, Baby!" og "Mirage" inden "97" kom på. Jeg undskylder for den sjuskede påføring.

Here's "Style-ish, Baby!" and "Mirage" before I added "97". I apologize for the sloppy application.

This manicure is a combination of three polishes: Essence "Style-ish, Baby!", La Femme Beauty "Mirage" and S.H.C. "97". I've already written about "Style-ish, Baby!" here. Usually I'm not really a big fan of La Femme Beauty and I don't buy any of their opaque colours. But their glitters are beautiful and in my opinion a glitter polish doesn't need to be of amazing quality if it's only going to be used for layering. "Mirage" has a clear jellybase and it's filled with teal glitter. It's easy to apply and it dries quickly.

S.H.C. is a fairly unknown brand and I bought this polish in a chinese gift shop. "97" is a clear jellybase with three different kinds of teal glitter: tiny round glitter, medium round glitter and big hexagon glitter. It's incredibly beautiful. The smell, however, is absolutely terrible and it will make your head hurt.

This manicure was much prettier in reality then in these pictures. Unfortunantly it didn't last long.

"Style-ish, Baby!" was bought in a Danish supermarket, Føtex.
"Mirage" was bought in Bazaren in Ishøj.
"97" was bought in Jia Jia Le in Copenhagen.

What do you guys think of the combination of teal and teal and teal? Should this mani have been spiced up by another colour or is it perfect as it is?

Swatch: Style-ish, Baby!

Det her er  Essences "Style-ish, Baby!" fra sommerkollektionen 2011. Lakken er en lækker turkis lak med en metallisk finish. Den er let at påføre, og den tørrer hurtigt. Derudover er holdbarheden ret god. På billederne her har jeg et lag Sally Hansen "Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat" på som underlak samt to lag "Style-ish, Baby!". Ingen overlak. Den dækker næsten ved to lag, men ikke helt. Jeg vidste, at jeg ville lægge noget glimmer over, så derfor tilføjede jeg ikke et ekstra lag.  Det havde jeg gjort, hvis jeg kun skulle have denne farve på. På det sidste billede kan du se, at lakken er lidt gennemsigtig.

"Style-ish, Baby" er købt i Føtex.

Sådan her ser "Style-ish, Baby!" ud ved et lag.
This is what "Style-ish, Baby!" looks like with one coat.

This polish is "Style-ish, Baby" by Essence which is a metallic polish in a gorgeous teal shade. Appliance is easy, it dries quickly and it doesn't chip easily. In these photos I'm wearing on layer of Sally Hansen's "Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat" with two coats of "Style-ish, Baby!". No topcoat. Two coats almost covers the nail, but not quite. As you can see in this last photo it's a bit sheer, but I knew I was going to put some glitter over. If I was only going to wear this colour, I would have put on one more coat.
"Style-ish, Baby!" was bought in Føtex, a Danish supermarket.




What do you guys think of this polish? Do you have it?
