if you are a soldier or have plans to join the army, you should really get this polish ^^

I did it ;-) I got the other 2 polishes of the essence le. they were on sale for 90 cent. how could I not have bought them?!


flowerfields is a fresh neon orange. the polish was runny and not as opaque as the brown and teal. I used 2 coats, but you can still see the tips shining trough. it’s nice but totally inappropriate for this season. it’s more a summer color, the only orange thing I can think of at christmas time are oranges and tangerines. and I think there’s a similar color in the core range.

glittering daylight is not glittering at all. it’s an off white creme, and it’s sheer. I had hoped it would be as opaque as the other polishes in the collection, but after 3 thick coats it’s still blotchy. it’s a bit thicker than the others and I like it, because it’s off white - it looks better on my skintone than bright white. but I never do more than 3 coats, so I guess I’m not gonna use this very often.

chinda wanted to see some pics of my cats, so for all cat lovers here they are:

gismo – he’s small and slim, cute, cuddly and jealous. and he’s peeing on my furniture in the bedroom, nasty cat!

gumbie is much bigger and a little bit fat ;-) he loves eating and is a little chicken-hearted when he doesn’t know people or the doorbell rings.

they are actually twins, but I think they had different fathers ^^

this is another essence le I didn’t really care about. the colors are very retro, nothing special at first sight. but yesterday I found them on sale and I thought it wouldn’t hurt to get them anyways ^^

hatte heute irgendwie lust, das marmorieren nochmal zu probieren, und diesmal hats auch viel besser geklappt. beim nächsten mal werde ich davon fotos machen und meine tricks posten ;-)
dies als kleine inspiration für den contest:
today I felt like doing another water marbling, and this time it went pretty well. next time I'll make some pictures and tell you about my tricks ;-)
here's some inspiration for the contest:

stamping: H27 + p2 selected

und dies ist der (vorerst) letzte meiner illamasquas. er wurde gemeinsam mit lament in der sirens kollektion herausgegeben.
and this is my last illamasqua (for now). it was released in the sirens collection with another polish called lament.

muse ist ein mittleres petrol, eher grünstichig. er hätte sich gut auftragen lassen, wäre nicht der pinsel total schief zugeschnitten... o_O

is a medium teal, more green than blue. it would have been good in application, if it wasn't for the brush, which was cut totally skew o_O

anscheinend bewege ich mich derzeit auf einer grünen welle^^ hier sind 2 weitere illamasquas:
it seems I'm into greens right now^^ here are 2 more illamasquas:

milf ist ein staubiges lindgrün. es ist total 50er jahre. ich denke an mintgrüne petticoats und vespas. und in den 60ern gab es das lilien-porzellan in genau diesem grün. um so genialer finde ich den namen milf -mom I'd like to fuck -^o^-
is a dusty pastel green. it's totally 50ies. I'm thinking of mintgreen petticoats and vespas. and in the 60ies there was this lilien-porcelain in the exact same color. that's why I think the name is so ingenious: milf - mom I'd like to fuck -^o^-

hectic ist das perfekte olivgrün oder auch khaki. ein gelbstichiges, staubiges mittelgrün. sehr cool! es ist genau so, wie ich mir dry martini von mac gewünscht hätte.

is the perfect olive green or khaki. it's a dusty medium green with yellow tint. very cool! it's exactly how I had expected dry martini by mac.


die konsistenz der beiden lacke war sehr unterschiedlich. hectic ist etwas dünner und nicht so hoch pigmentiert, aber sehr angenehm aufzutragen. milf hingegen ist eher dick und klebrig, ich hatte schwierigkeiten, den lack gleichmässig auf den nagel zu bekommen.

the formula on these was differing. hectic was thinner and less pigmented, but very good to apply. milf was thick and sticky, I had troubles with a smooth application.
