This is the third rendition of the timeless Ballerina nail color that I own, thanks to its recent release. Surprisingly, I haven’t shared any of the “Ballerinas” before. Although the number has changed (it’s now 111 instead of 167), the shade remains faithful to the classic version with its sheer formula.
Application was three coats.
Happy Easter! I’m late – I know but my days were filled with work, swimming, Fantasy Filmfest Nights and having a good time, still divided between Hamburg and Lower Saxony. It’s good to see that you haven’t given up on this blog and I do appreciate your stopping by, it means a lot to me.
I have Rose Quartz to show (I just picked a random draft), which is a light and almost pastel pink. Looks like a colour made for spring.
Two coats applied.
Light girly pink in a super cute bottle.
Two coats shown below – artificial light.
Daylight, directly after dawn.
Nuvola Rosa is a light pink, very feminine and girly in my opinion. Totally spring colour – although it’s still frosty outside.
Application was two coats.
Chanel is launching nail vanish like crazy at the moment. I’m happy about each new colour and there are quite a few stunners, but it also means that there will be lots of swatches to do. 🙂 I’ll be purchasing Aurore later and then heading for tea at HafenCity, Meßmer Momentum. White tea coconut & chocolates is my favourite flavour.
I actually have the next Tudoresque nail varnish to present, Anne of Cleves. This is a very feminine colour, light pink with golden glitter. Scattered holographic effect.
Application was two coats. I messed a bit with the index, which is not the nail polish but the top coat. Anne of Cleves, too, is opaque with one coat.
Daylight (but cloudy).
Close-up photos.
Baby pink, if not girly, with a hint of pastel. My Hula Hoop belongs indeed to my daughter but I could not resist this pretty colour.
Two coats shown below.
Artificial light.
Japan Filmfest Hamburg is approaching, only two days to go, and for the first time (mainly due to my general admission ticket), I’ll be joining the opening night with “Innocent Blood”. Really looking forward! 🙂
As for further preparation (actually just for fun), I have planned to finally visit Sakura manga shop tomorrow – let’s see what they have got. To be honest, it’s more my daughter who wanted to go there (I’m more of a film buff).
But let’s skip this and have a look at today’s nail varnish, which is Fresh Prince-ss. Baby pink, a bit like sakura maybe. 😉
Shown below is two coats. Flawless China Glaze quality as always.
So pretty, Sweet As Candy. It’s a light, milky pink in the tradition of neutral and nude shades, thus always looking good.
Application was two (thicker) coats; I am also a fan of the gel-like finish.
Hope your Christmas was wonderful1 Now let’s move on to the end of this year. I am still enjoying being in Lower Saxony. So peaceful and quiet here, swimming bath every day … although less Pokéstops than in Hamburg! 🙂
Rose Scabiosa. I’ve had this in my stash for ages. It’s light pink – no pastel – with a hint of lilac. Looks very feminine in the bottle but often these pinks clash with my skintone, which is probably why I had put Rose Scabiosa on hold.
Two coats shown below.
On Tuesday, I had an appointment at Alsterhaus with my favourite Chanel counter, since their Makeup artist Yannick Lemaire was back, and so he did my makeup, using products mainly from the current Collection Libre. I had Pink Rubber on my nails, which is part of the collection. Yannick re-created the look of the campaign, a strong eye with graphic effects – liked it so much and felt gorgeous.
As for Pink Rubber, this is a pale pink with a suède (“velvet”) finish.
Two coats applied.
I played Pokémon Go before taking the photos, and a Spearow turned up to take charge of the bottle, haha! 😉
