Holo Glitterati!

You've already seen one MNY LE 'I am a Glitterati Girl' nail polish, which was Plums & Purples in my previous post. Today I have another glitter polish from this collection: no. 142A Baby & Lights. Baby & Lights is a silver shimmer polish filled with a lot of goodies: holographic micro glitters and silver hexagons!!!

On my index and ring finger 2 coats of Essence Can't Cheat On Me. While the middle finger and pink are layered with 3 coats of Baby & Lights, just to show you the difference in effect of holo shimmer and holo micro glitters.

I couldn't help it to layer one coat of Baby & Lights over Can't Cheat On Me too. Which one do you like better: CCOM+B&L or B&L alone?

Have a wonderful one!

LE MNY

If you read my latest post, you already know which polish will steal the show today. It's none other than MNY no. 143A Plums & Purples!

It's already been a year that I first saw the MNY display in the drugstore. Little did I know that they also came with limited editions and that is exactly what driggers me to buy buy buy! It's so bad to fall for their marketing strategy, I know... The MNY LE that convinced me to buy is called: I am a Glitterati Girl. The collection comes with three nail polishes.

As you can see, I layered P&P over Catrice New York, which I have swatched here. I thought the light blue glitters would make a good combination with the pigeon blue of New York.

P&P applied very well and the glitters weren't hiding in the bottle. That's is why I just needed one coat. It is filled with light blue glitters in a sheer pinkish purple base. This did alter the colour of New York a bit, but not in a bad way. I think the release date of Plums & Purples is well chosen, because it is suitable for festive mani's.

Here is a bottle picture and how the P&P looks on it's own:

What do you think of the 'I am a Glitterati Girl' collection?

Have a nice one!

MNY No. 145

Although it's quite late, but I do wish everyone:

~*~ A Happy 2011!!! ~*~

I hope you all had a great time during the holidays. For me, it was non-stop eating delicious food ^^ I began the year with a vacation to Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey. It's a beautiful place with very friendly residents and delicious food and sweets. The most interesting part is that you can travel from Europe to Asia within 15 minutes with a ferry and still be in the same country. How cool is that?

 

At the end of the year 2010, I came across a new display of Maybelline New York in the local drugstore. It has a different package and the price is lower than the usual line of Maybelline. Of course, the first thing that caught my attention were the nail polishes. I picked MNY No. 145 (7ml) which is a milky white base with fuchia shimmers and flakies. Do look at the close-up picture, since I'm not good at describing things.

In the picture above, I layered MNY 145 over 2 coats of Catrice C01 Pearls & Chains from the LE Urban Baroque collection. I will come back to this sweet collection in another post.

Have a wonderful one!!!
