OPI Road House Blues meets Essie Set in Stones

After wearing Road House Blues for a few days I decided to layer it with Essie's Set in Stones. Set in Stones is a clear polish with multiple sized silver hexagons.

I applied one coat of Set in Stones and I think it turned out pretty nice. It kind of looks like I have snow flakes on my nails.

OPI - Road House Blues

OPI's Road House Blues was part of the Touring America collection that was released last year. RHB is a dark blue creme polish with a hint of purple. I haven't been very keen on dark colours lately but last week I felt an urge to try this. 

The formula was amazing to work with, it had just the right consistency for easy application. I didn't even get any nail polish on my cuticles during the application (I always manage to get some on my right ring finger for some reason). I applied two coats for opacity but one thick coat would probably be enough as well. 

I really like RHB. The shine, the colour and the formula make this polish a new favourite of mine.

In case you're found of Instagram (I am), you can find me there as well now, under the user name Nailspotting. But, don't worry, nothing will change here. I will keep posting as usual.

Anyone else there?

Essie - Fifth Avenue

For me, certain nail polish colours have been trickier to get used to than others but about a year ago I decided to try to get over my fear of red nail polish. Prior to that I had liked the way it looked on others but just couldn't get used to seeing it on my nails. Then I came across OPI Color So Hot it Berns and it slowly evolved from there and I eventually warmed up to the idea of wearing reds. Now I really like it and not so long ago I bought several more red lacquers. Today it's time for one of those lacquers, Essie's Fifth Avenue.

Fifth Avenue is a bright red creme polish with just a hint of orange undertones. To achieve opacity I had to apply two coats and I have nothing bad to say about the formula, it was very easy to work with. This kind of red is very appealing to me and even though I have very fair complexion I think it works very well with my skin tone. And, this is just a perfect pick-me-up shade in the middle of the dark and dull winter.

HM - Pepparmint fusion

It's time to go back in time and publish something from my archive. Almost a year ago I was in Sweden and bought three lacquers from H&M; Miss Stone Heart, Blue My Mind and Pepparmint Fusion. So far I've only showed you Blue My Mind but today it's time for Pepparmint Fusion.

Pepparmint Fusion is light blue polish with blue shimmer. It required two coats for opacity and if my memory doesn't fail me too much, I think the formula was good and easy to work with. I really like the subtle blue colour and the beautiful shimmer. I need to wear this soon again, it's been far too long.
