[Chanel] Azur over Coco Blue

Quite recently, I fell in love with Azur, which had been in my collection for about a year, untouched. Shown over Blue Rebel in the linked post, here it is over Coco Blue.

Coco Blue has a shimmer on its own, but I guess that Azur gives it more depth.

[Nubar] Black Polka Dot

Black Polka Dot has been my first Nubar nail varnish; I liked the idea of black glitter in various shapes and sizes in a clear jelly base.

Here it is over Nubar Kiwi. I thought they’d make a nice combo.

[Chanel] Azur

Azur is a great shade, it’s got a light blue and pretty sheer base, and it is packed with glitter.

I love this over Blue Rebel! Annete, another Chanel collector and such a lovely girl in general wore this last weekend, when our Chanel Varnish Addicts meeting was scheduled. Unfortunately, I could not join them, but instantly fell in love with this great combo. And just realise that I have not done a swatch of Blue Rebel so far.

[LASplash] Cupid (over Chanel Tentation)

Since Tentation started a bit to chip (was wrapping Easter gifts and tidying yesterday, still lots of things to do, ufff…), I layered it with Cupid.

Cupid is a glitter polish from LASplash’s Love Note Collection of 2011, having a fuchsia jelly base – which is quite sheer – and containing loads of holo glitter, as well as pale pink heart-shaped inlays. Shown below is two thin coats over Chanel Temptation.

Chanel May Meets Mica Rose

Hi there – I tried another layering (seems ages ago), one coat Mica Rose over two coats May… and it looked gorgeous! Both polishes are beautiful on their own, but as a combo, they are quite amazing.

Layering Orgasm over Orange Fizz

I was in the mood for trying some layerings, so here is Orgasm over Orange Fizz.

Beautiful, isn’t it? I really like this combination.

[Chanel] Facettes d’Or – Gold Fiction (+ Satellite)

One of my favourite golden shades; this one comes in an opaque bottle.

I’m currently browsing my older pics and found these. There are still loads of unpublished swatches in my files…

And topped with Satellite; I don’t know why I did this, but I liked the look.

[Dior] Black Sequins (+ essence Love Top Coat)

I’m considering taking this to Berlin with me next week, since I adore the black base with its silver glitter. Black Sequins goes nice with everything.

On the nails, the glitter is barely visible – but it’s there.

Topped with Essence Love Top Coat, photos were taken the next day.

Essie Lapis of Luxury and OPI Last Friday Night (Katy Perry)

I think they are a great team, one coat of Last Friday Night over Lapis of Luxury; I added this photo to the Katy Perry Collection post, too.

Super Happy Funtime Nails and Ember

Super Happy Ember Nails – I layered Ember over Super Happy Funtime Nails; both are frankens by “The Hungry Asian” Kae and I’ve showed them before.

We’ve had a horrible summer so far; much too cold and wet… temperatures have risen towards the end of last week but we are still far away from having good weather. Thus I wanted to enjoy summertime at least on my nails.

The orange of Super Happy Funtime Nails is somewhere between apricot and coral, with a lovely golden shimmer. I topped it with Ember, which is packed densely with dark orange glitter and chunkier silver holo glitter. Both varnishes are amazing on their own and create an even greater combo when layered.

I used two coats of Super Happy Funtime Nails and one coat of Ember. Since the surface was a bit gritty, I needed two coats top coat.
