Hi there! Scented polishes are a trend that pop up occasionally. I remember seeing some scented nail polishes when I was... hmm... 14?


Trends in fashion and beauty are a funny thing. Now everyone will agree that absolutely new things don't come around too often. Neon colours, leggings, blue eyeshadow... been there, saw that (except taupe nail polish - that was actually new, as far as I know). It is mostly eclecticism and recombinations that make up innovation nowadays. Remixes and sampling, if you will.


Anyway, my nails smell deliciously like artificial raspberry. I used a bottle of polish that I bought in China and didn't even notice that it was scented.  Nice surprise :) As always you can click on the pictures to enlarge.


The list of polishes:

• P2 Hypoallergen + Quick Dry Base Coat (for sensitive nails... whatever that is)
• Sasatinnie Super Dolly Fantasy Color (black with silvery blue shimmer flecks/particles)
• Essence tip art painter Silver Surfer
• ring finger: Manhattan Glamoration LE (from the nineties!, dark blue), topped with Essence Mermaid Tears, nail art sequins
• Essence BTGN topsealer

Have a nice evening everyone!

Hi everyone :) I had some time to paint my nails. This time it's just one colour. Quite rare for me because I normally use at least two colours...


This time it's another polish that I bought in China, a Sasatinnie. It was relatively easy to apply, the only thing I disliked a bit was the brush. It's pretty short for a bottle this size. The polish applied nicely, I did three coats to get it completely opaque. Though two coats might have been sufficient - but it's better to be safe than sorry...


My crappy little camera made the lovely purple hue disappear completely. 

I used the following procedure:

• P2 Base + Care Coat (ok, this is getting boring, I used this one in 99% of my manicures... but I have a new base coat soon to be tried...)
• Sasatinnie Fantasy Color Nail Polish Super Dolly Fantasy Color (name is pretty redundant - three coats)
• Essence Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer: awesome top coat, quick drying, it made my last manicure last for eight days - no chipping, no cracks, just lost one rhinestone. Downside: lasting manicure also means difficult removal.

Another picture taken in the shade. Maybe you can see the hint of purple:





Maybe not.

Have a nice evening or a nice holiday! (hooray for Bavaria and its gazillion holidays!)
