The first holo's of the year + videos

Dear Lacqueristas,

Those Nubar holo's have been on my wishlist forever, but where I live they are not easy to obtain (for a reasonable prize that is)
So I decided to buy just 2 of them. They have been standing on my special *mommy's favorite children stand* and they smiled there upon me for a few weeks. But, today was the rare event that I'm off AND there are a few rays of sun! So.... for a true Lacquerista that means... HOLOS! I enjoyed swatching these next polishes a lot, hope you enjoy seeing them:

These are my first Nubar's ever and I'm sure more will follow. I have my eyes set on Gem, Reclaim and Violet Sparkle but I am not looking forward to paying around 12 euro's for them. I guess I will have to hold my patience for a future swap :-)

What is your favorite Nubar? And don't you just LOVE it when the holo season starts?

Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!

Hidden Treasure arrived in europe! And H&M Espresso Me

Dear Lacqueristas,

Yesterday I came home after a long day of work to find a box waiting for me. When I opened it I swear I did a lil happy dance! The box contained some stunning lil beauties like 2 OPI Designer Series and 2 Zoya Sprakle Collecion polishes, and a lot of other goodies. And the best of all: Sally Hansen's Hidden Treasure! OMG my first flaky! All of this was send to me by my swap-mate Karen. Many thanks to you Karen:-)

Because most of the polishes I received are either holo/glitter I want to wait till the sun is out so I can swatch them for you. But as you've might seen on the news... Icelands Volcano is blowing it's ashes toward us again... Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!

For today I will show you a nice vampy cream by H&M: Espresso Me. A perfect brown, not too red so I could pull it off with my cool skin tone.

The formula was a tad goopy but still easy enough to work with. I had to do minor clean-up. The brush is good as it is but the drying time of this one was a bit long. I find that with most cremes that H&M makes. The holo's, shimmers and pearls dry much faster but that's with most brands. Normally I wouldn't really find out but since I'm out of my Holy Grail Seche Vite (since about 3 weeks) I am forced to let my nail polish dry naturally.

Do you have Hidden Treasure yet?
