Depend first impression and review

Hi dolls.. Long time, no see!

I hope you are all folowing me on Instagram, since that's where I'm most active! 

On instagram, I won a giveaway from Depend Cosmetics! I got a bunch of their new products from their new O2 series. I figured I'd do a blogpost about my thoughts and stuff. So prepare for a Picture heavy post!

What I won:

• 5 new mini nail polishes
• Dip in nail polish remover 
• Topcoat
• Basecoat
• Mudmask
• 3-in-1 cube containing
• Cuticle peeling
• Grape and avocado nail oil
• Hand and cuticle cream 
• A little nail scrubber
• Nail file
• Orange stick 

The cube thing, is acutally called "3-step action nail care kit" - But I'm gonna call it a cube anyway! 

It's packed very carefully and I loooove it! 

Okay.. So I was (Ofc!!) already wearing nailpolish, and had to remove that. Smart enough - I could test out the dip-in polish remover! 

I kid you not. It. is. AMAZING! Literally just one dip and my creme polish came of! It is faster than pure acetone - and it doesn't even contain acetone! I took my texture polish off with acetone (no need to spoil the great dip-in remover just yet! Usually texture rips the sponge apart, and I did not want that! 

ah.. clean! 

I wanted to try everything right away. 

I started with the peeling thing and scrubbed away with the scrubber and then pushed back my cuticles with the orange stick. 

Then i oiled up - it smells wonderful! 

And lastly I creamed up. I think this is the right order to do it. It was kinda what I could read on the cube. But it was in Swedish, and I'm Danish, so I'm not totally sure. It would have been nice to have it in Danish or even just English on the box.

Then i used the polish: base, color and topcoat. This.. I am not impressed of! The brush is wonderful but the formula.. meeh... The colors are a bit runny, so even after I laid it on the nail, it ran to my cuticles. The topcoat is very thin. Even though i put a lot of polish on the brush I still got color on the topcoatbrush. Very strange. I don't like the finished look of this mani. But the care products I really like! 

That's it. 

- until next time lovies! 

Dripdrop awaaay

An other - yet no where near perfect - drip drop ombrè. Well.. This is what happens when you only have 16 drip drops. It's more of a skittle actually 😂  But I love all the polishes so much!

Right to left:

Stairway To Heaven

Prototype #697

Morning Glory

Prototype #255

Stairway has a wonderful whitish base with a hint of light pink with gold, dark pink and bright pink glitter in it. It's a bit tricky to get the bigger glitters to go on smoothly, so I fished a bit for them. This is the polish that started all my drip drops.. I have all in all bought four bottles of it. The first two got lost in the male with a bad mule.. The next two got perfectly through and I gifted one to my IG bestie Sarah @se.. So, I worked hard for it. And I really like it! 😅

Next is my second favorite drip drop. Prototype #697. I think you should make a big batch of this and keep it in store Jessica. I think others would love it too! Here's why: it has a perfect lilac base. It creme, it goes on like a dream! The hot pink glitter makes it pop! There's hexagons and squares in there for ya all! Big dark purple squares keeps the polish calm and then there's added tiny glitter in different purple/pink shades that really binds it together. It goes on like a dream! I did have to fish for a big purple one, but I certainly don't mind. And when doing all ten nails, no fishing is needed, there'll come one up one some of the nails. Just lovely!

Morning Glory.. Oh what Glory! It has a great formula. The purple-lilacihsh creme base is gorgeous in it self and then it's added small glitter of different shades of blues and purples. It's a delight. 

The last one in this mani, prototype #255, isn't my favorite. The base is a black jelly and it builds easily. It has purple glitters in it, but it builds like a texture and this I didn't like that, and even with a topcoat, it's still a bit bumpy. 

I topped it all with my lovely @glistenandglow1 #hkgirltopcoat and cleaned up with my @joliepolish #cleanupbrush #joliepolishbrush

This is an ombrè of dripdrops! After posting my dripdrop army the other day, I fell into a dripdrop mode. You'll see a couple of dripdrop manis the coming days! I love these! 

Light pink: Pink Ferrari

Light purple: Royal Bling

Medium purple: a prototype called #699 

Dark purple: Plums the word. 

Pink Ferrari feels jelly like and it's a bit patchy, but with a little work it builds beautifully! I wouldn't say it's really pink.. More like white with a drop of pink. I like it still though! 😀

Royal Bling is my all time favorite purple. And that says a bit. I have more than 50 purples and this one is the love of my life. If I could only just use one polish the rest of my life. This would be it. It has this subtle holo to it. It's a perfect creme. I love it. 😍

#699 feels jelly but builds like a perfect creme. Two layers and I'm good to go!

Plums the word again.. Feels jelly but builds like a creme. 

I topped it all with my lovely @glistenandglow1 #hkgirltopcoat and cleaned up with my @joliepolish #cleanupbrush

O.P.I. Over and Over A-Gwen

I've been wearing this Gwen Stefani signature color for a couple of days now, Here in china. At first I thought it was the perfect mailbox red but it turns out its a bit on the dark side for that. The color is still perfect though. Just not for the color I had in mind :b 

I find it a bit runny, so I had to keep a close eye on how much polish there was on the brush. Other than that application was nearly perfect. 

This is one layer of O.P.I nailenvy, two coats of Over and Over A-Gwen topped with HKgirl topcoat by glisten and glow 

This is the first mani in ages that I (almost) didn't have to do any cleanup after. And that's a big step forward for me! Even though I love polish (more than the next girl) I never really had the right moves to apply it perfectly. I have watched a ton of videos and read more blogs about this than most girls. But I guess it all comes down to the hand. And my hand is far from steady. 

I was so thrilled when I realised tht I've done it this good!! And then with this red color! This really is a pain in the butt to do cleanup of! It's horrible. Red everywhere! 

I really like this color and it's def a new go to red! 

Russian airport and polish

Too bad! O.P.I and loreal Paris colore riche are almost the same prices as in Denmark. I feel sorta cheated!

On the bright side: I saw a chinese lady with really pretty nails, and I think I'm gonna do that design some day! :D

Blank nail canvas

Hi!

I found this awesome girl, who not only does beautiful nails, but she made a sketch of nails, so you easily can draw your designs without all of that irritating drawing of the actual nails and fingers. For me that's what've kept me from drawing a lot of designs. That the fingers get so damn crooked :b

I've already used mine and I'm deff gonna print out more!

At IG she is known as @nailsbyjema and her blog is: nailsbyjema.blogspot.com 

Isn't it amazing? Thank you for doing these!
