Swapportunity

5 comments  
I was contacted by a sweet reader about wanting to do a swap. And once I received this package, I was so excited I went forth with it

Left to right clockwise:
Catrice Shopping Day at Bluemindales, Mermaid My Day, Lilactric, Mint Me up,
Squeeze Me, Kiko 371


Top row:  The Boy Next Door, Waka Waka, Hello Marshmallow!
Bottom row: L.OL., Oh My Glitter!, If I Were a Boy



An extra goodie

She also sent me some candies which I didn't photograph but I had a lot of fun eating them! She added the extra Essence palette because there was a mix up with the swap. None the less, I am so happy about this package. I don't own man Catrice polishes so I am so stoked to try these! Let me know which polishes you would like to see first so I can get the swatching and the trying!

Twinsie Tuesday: A Polish From Your First Swap Ever

17 comments  
As you can already see today's theme is from our very first polish swap ever. 

I could never forget my first nail swap! It was with Abbie from AbbieNail. Honestly to tell you the truth, I can't even remember how we came into contact with each other. I remember every polish she sent me but I can't for the life of me remember what I sent her. Ok, so I went through her blog and I remember now! She was looking for Claire's Candyshop (you know, that famous dupe for DL Candyshop). Yeah, that's how we got started.

Most of the polishes she sent me I already showcased on my blog, now with this post, I only have one more from that polish swap to show you! Hopefully that'll be soon!



This is Models Own Pink Cocktail and came in a trio set. The formula was great and it covered in 2 coats. Pink Cocktail and is a bright pink with tons of blue shimmer which was so hard to catch. I think it's the lighting from my light box. But I hope you see it in the almost-macro shot.

I love me some Models Own! Luckily in the nail polish groups I'm in, they're sweet enough to snatch me up a few! Oh how we are deeply deprived of Models Own!

What other brands would you like to see in the US?

I'm excited to see my Twinsies' first polish swap manis! Aren't you?

Orchidea

9 comments  
I did a swap a while with Diane over at Diane Cristi. We agreed that I needed some Bettina's in my life and that she needed some Color Clubs and OPI.

She is so sweet! I think I came across her blog and commented about a NOTD she posted and she later emailed me about a possible swap. I said "YEAH!" and I am so glad I did! Because now, I totally loving my Bettinas!


I looked up swatches before posting this. And I must say, that my Orchidea is much much lighter than those that I have seen. It could possibly be the lighting and what not. But it's really almost like that color in the photo. If not, maybe just a touch more minty looking.

Bettina Orchidea covered in 2 coats and had perfect application. Orchidea is a pastel mint color. Perfect for spring but I'm not that kind of person to put it away during the cooler months.

I don't know where you can find Bettina's but I wish I had access to Bettinas here where I live but in the mean time, I guess Diane will be my Bettina swap buddy! Hopefully she's with that.

Thanks Diane for the swap!

Do you have access to Bettinas?
