H&M Spending Cash with Carl

September 4, 2010

Long time no post, apologies for that one – been too busy having fun with Sophie- a friend who came over from the UK for a week.  I’ll be getting back to normal this week, and hopefully back up to painting speed – though I’ve had some feedback on what people like to see – and so will be using that :)

Kräftor/Crayfish – A tradition I don’t understand, but we ate none-the-less

Så en vecka semester med Sophie – det är jättebra att åka rund stan lite – hoppas att bli normally nästa vecka med mer NoTD action, haha.

Sophie knows I’m a nail polish addict, so understood how excited I got in H&M on seeing this, Razzle Dazzle and Envy Me.  I also picked up Cha Cha finally!


Spending cash with carl is a lovely colour, this is two coats – it’s slightly lighter than in the bottle,, and this is with 2 days wear (which is pretty awesome if you ask me).   What do you think?

H&M Holo the Third – Sinful Senorita

Filed Under: Nail of the Day, Review by Emybloom — 2 Comments
July 31, 2010

It’s no secret that I love pink, so it’s no surprise that I’m quite in love with this colour. Sinful Senorita is another of the H&M Holo’s (and the second that the lovely Felzine acquired for me).  I wore this the other day when the weather was really rubbish, and even though it meant that the holo wasn’t as shiny as I’d like, the bright pink really made up for it.

The colour is pretty pigmented, and would work well as a stamping colour in my novice opinion.  I used two coats as there is a slight erm shimmer that took a little even-ing out.  I do really like this colour though.  :)

Det är ingen hemlighet att jag älskar rosa, så inget nytt att jag älskar den har färg. Sinful Senorita är en till H&M holo (från Felzine, tusen tack igen!) Jag hade den har lack igår när vädret var hemskt skit, men även om det var inte så ljus – den har rosa var faktiskt perfeckt.  Den har lack tar bara ett lager för att bli ogenomskinlig – så ska kanske funkar bra med konad. Jag tog två lager eftersom det finns skimmer i lack att tog två.  Jag älskar den har färg i alla fall :)

What do you think?

Vad tycker du?

H&M You Rock my world NoTD

Filed Under: Nail of the Day, Review by Emybloom — 1 Comment
July 28, 2010

Yesh, I got impatient waiting for my Nfu.Oh Nail mail, so I took Night party off.  The wear after 3 days was minimal (just tip wear) So if I ever see another that looks funky (and ideally in a sale) I may very well give it a go!  Anyways Today I decided to give You rock my world a go, the silver holo from H&M (which I got thanks to a certain wonderful person who you should check out if you don’t already)

Application wise, it was a little easier in terms of not smearing between layers than Nfu.Oh’s holos over the same (Depend Hydrating) base, however it dried a lot slower and was victim to me being impatient (hence my thumb obscuring my finger in these shots).  The effect is more shimmery and less holo than Nfu.Oh which I like in some respects, though at the same time it was a little streaky which I wasn’t *as* chuffed about.

Unfortunatly I utterly ragged my left hand taking pictures (as I said… impatient girl here!), so I can’t really talk about wear.  It’s a keeper for sure though – as the overall silver colour is *love*

Onto the pictures – all are flash as I was a little late this evening!

See slightly streaky looking.

And a close up for the final shot – hololicious!

Now I have a little question for anyone who may speak swedish and reads this – basically I’m considering (as part of trying to write better swedish) of dual languaging some of my posts – would you read the swedish or just not bother? Would it give you a good giggle when I fail?  If so I’m totally up for it, haha!

YEY mail!  I have a little review of  a soap/lipbalm/stuff shop on Etsy coming up, but today I got this awesome set of shiny things from a certain wonderful girl – Alzarine Claws She helped me out with a couple of the H&M holo polishes I’d missed out on and then suprised me with a couple of mineral eyeshadows :o I was quite shocked by the loveliness!

So of course I had to take one for a test run – this is Silver Spoon (if I remember correctly), Sugarpill- Tiara, a little Fyrinnae pixie epoxy and 1.22 gigawatt, and Aromaleigh Infernal Chaos.

Because pulling faces is the most fun ever!

You may notice slightly more tamed eyebrows. Thank you to future sister in law for that one!

Watermarble, attempt the third.

Filed Under: Nail of the Day by Emybloom — 2 Comments
July 24, 2010

Unimpressed however with my lack of creativity in my weekly PHD attempt, yesterday evening I attempted something a little more daring.  The dreaded water marble.

I’m an utter idiot at doing this. I’ve tried all sorts of things, boiled kettle, differing temperatures of water, differing polishes, it doesn’t matter, sometimes I get something okay, most the time I end up with very messy fingers with very little to show for it.  Regardless I’ll keep at it, every so often attempting a new one.  I’ve found that for me working on only two fingers or one as an accent stresses me out *significantly* less, so until I am a master at this technique, that’s how it’s going to be.

This week it was the turn of my ring fingers to get the ‘pop’ of colour.

Polishes I used were:- Moonless Night by H&M for the main stay of my nails. White by Mavela, and pinky colour is Dim sum Plum by OPI, which I like more and more each time I wear it.

My water fingers aren’t so exciting, and bubbly, but hey ho!

Time for your close up nails!

Yeah, a little bubbly, and not my favourites ever, but they get the point accross, and well I’ll be trying again soon no doubt!

Do you like water marbling?  What is your trick to making it work?

Matte le ruff ruff (cherry pie pie pie)

Filed Under: Nail of the Day by Emybloom — 2 Comments
July 23, 2010

I like layering, it’s fun and it adds another day of wear (at least) before I have to get the gawddamn polish off.  I dislike nail varnish remover.  Maybe that’s because I haven’t found the right one for me, maybe it’s because I have a tendency towards glitter, maybe it’s actually because I haven’t found one with the right type of fumes… That aside I think it’s the reason I’m so loathe to do any swatching. That and I don’t want to waste any of my preciouseseseses (unless they have summertime application of dhoom – *cough* older Eyeko *cough*).

Anyways, I decided to take the cherry pie into a look for the polish hoarder disorder’s weekly challenge (please don’t judge me on last weeks nails, I know they were pretty fail – but I really wanted to try).  This week is a greyscale look with a ‘pop’ of colour.  The biggest issue here is that I don’t have anything other than the H&M moonless night and a plain manicure white for the challenge… hmmm it’s going to be simple!

This is the first look I came up with. A simple matte ruffian – I used:- China Glaze- Cherry Pie and Matte Magic, and Moonless Night by H&M.

As you can see here application of the moonless night, wasn’t *perfect* but I tried, haha.

I love ruffians, I think I have an addicion!

Follow Rainbow, find gold = profit NoTD

July 19, 2010

So I’m a little ‘meh’ down in the dumps you could say. So what better time than to mess around and make some rainbows to cheer myself back up again?  I thought so anyway!

Using Lacquerized’s technique for ruffians I made these bad boys. Still not sure if they will dry…

  • China Glaze – Cherry Pie
  • China Glaze – 5 Golden Rings (I dont have an orange atm)
  • H&M – Being on the A-list
  • China Glaze – Watermelon rind
  • China Glaze – Sexy in the City
  • China Glaze – Grape Juice (coulda taken another later, but at 6 layers already I wasn’t risking it)
  • Speed Demon Top Coat (good luck drying this lot).

So now trying to do as little as possible before bedtime to give it chance to dry… heh.

Couple of Close-ups :)

What d’ta think? Am I mental for even trying this one, will it dry? Will I keep it on more than 12 hours?

Watermelon Kitty – NoTD Ruffian

Filed Under: Nail of the Day by Emybloom — 2 Comments
July 17, 2010

I have a very very sweet spot for green and purple together, and this is no exception.  I *think* this could work better with the two China Glaze rather than with the glittery HK, but stuff it – I fancied some green/purple action.

This is of course H&M HK Cool Summer, and China Glaze Watermelon rind (which is clearly becoming a firm favourite of mine!).  Also showing off  one of my latest aquisitions – Cherry Pie from the same collection – can’t wait to try it out!

So what ya think? You likey leaky, or is my colour sense terrible?

Cool Summer – Hello Kitty NoTD

Filed Under: Nail of the Day by Emybloom — 2 Comments
July 16, 2010

As promised earlier, here are some much better pictures of the Hello Kitty – Cool Summer polish I picked up this morning.

I also picked up a new Depend base coat, which with any luck will look after my nails, and gave them a much needed file to the same length.  Does anyone else find that their two smaller fingers nails grow so much faster/get worn down to much less?  Anyways I digress – I will keep you informed on how my nails get on with the new base coat.

*Update*  This wonderful swede (Alzarine Claws) also reviewed cool summer today, adore her pictures always, so go check her out!

Hello Kitty – Cool Summer

No top coat at this point – and you can see that it is lumpy, but the glitter is deliciously mixed pink/blue/silver.  I love a bit of glitter!

Flash, in daylight, but being a little moo about it.

I love the bottle, thats for sure!

Hello Kitty – Cool summer is a lie

Filed Under: Nail of the Day by Emybloom — Leave a comment
July 16, 2010

Just a quickie for this morning, I will have better pictures up later – but this little shiny beauty I picked up in H&M this morning – Cool Summer Hello Kitty polish (19,50SEK).  I was all sad I’d missed the holo’s but then I spotted this one (with pink,blue and silver glitter) and I was all pepped up again!

I got myself a new base coat (goodness only knows if it’s actually hydrating) and gave my nails a much needed reduction in length.  I promise once I’m home this afternoon I’ll treat you to some great pictures of this beauty and maybe even some sticker action, haha.
