I’m finally back with a new post! Life has been incredibly busy, and I did not have much time left to post on my blog. However, this `most popular nail polish shade of …’ series is definitely not something that I wanted to skip! In case you’ve never read any of the posts of this series before: I’m re-swatching the five most popular nail polish shades of the previous season. It’s basically an excuse for me to revisit some older shades, but it’s also fun to see what is trending right now! In case you want to see the previous posts, you can find them here. Anyway, this season’s post is quite exc ..read more

If there is anything that I learned this year so far, it’s that Essie collections never come alone. Quickly after finding out about Essie’s Summer 2024 collection, I also found a preview of Essie’s Midsummer 2024 collection. This collection typically gets released in the nordics around May/June to celebrate midsummer. However, this collection is also sometimes brought to the US, Germany, and the Netherlands. There is never an announcement about this, and sometimes the collection is never released in the US, but I thought it would be nice to share the midsummer collection anyway! Dream of eter ..read more

Essie is really early with a preview of their summer 2024 collection this year. I’m not even into spring shades myself yet, as it’s still super cold over here. However, I am really excited to share this collection with you! It’s time you had a good-vibes-only vacation. The essie limited edition summer 2024 collection: ‘sol searching’ welcomes you to your summer meditation haven. Featuring soothing shades inspired by an inner check-in, these glow-worthy shades will remind you to “breathe in, breathe out”. The six new colors are going to be: Sol searching: midtone terracotta orange nail polish ..read more

You might have noticed that it’s a bit more quiet here in terms of swatches. Where I used to post swatches quite often separately, I have decided that it might be nicer to group them in one post. Consequently, it’s a little quieter here, but don’t worry, I’m still working on swatches behind the scenes! Today’s post is all about Holo Taco nail polish. The past year, I invested in my Holo Taco collection. I realized that some Holo Taco polishes get discontinued pretty soon, so the best time to pick them up is when they are still available at the Holo Taco website since eBay resellers will mark ..read more

I’m personally always looking forward to seeing Orly’s seasonal collection, and this Spring it was no different! I have found some early spoilers from Orly’s Spring 2024 collection. The collection is going to be called Aqua Aura and consists of six new shades. The story behind the collection goes like this: Float along Golden Waves with six new shades inspired by gentle waters. Dappled sun creates a Ripple Effect across this shimmering palette bringing life to the season. Fresh blues and teals are met with wistful pinks and a Sea Spray of golden hues. This spring, gaze at the Wistful Water Li ..read more

Exciting news, I was able to get my hands on six shades from OPI Spring 2024 collection! The collection is not for sale yet, so I’m super excited that I was able to get my hands on a part of it. In case you missed my original post, the collection is going to consist of 12 new nail lacquer shades, plus nine new infinite shine exclusive shades. It’s therefore a very large collection. I was able to get my hands on six of the nail lacquer shades early, Spice up your life, Material Gowrl, Apricot AF, $elf made, buttafly, and Without a Pout. OPI Spice up your life Let’s start with the shade that ..read more

The collection is called `your way’ and is all about mixing cremes and top coats and specialty finishes. The collection consists of nail lacquer shades, but also of shades that are infinite shine only.

Now that Fall is officially over and we have officially entered the Winter season, it’s time to do a short recap of the most popular nail polish shades of Fall 2023! I will admit, I find this quite an interesting set of shades, with some shades that we have seen before and some newer ones too! In case you haven’t seen this series before: This is a series of posts on my blog where I swatch the previous season’s five most popular nail polish shades. I’m using the data from my Pinterest Analytics to see which shades have been the most popular that season! 5. Essie Peppermint condition Essie Pep ..read more

In a previous post, I already ‘warned’ you that more new Essie collections were coming. Today, I finally had some time to piece a picture together of Essie’s new Expressie collection called ‘Power moves’. Expressie is Essie’s quick dry line. I believe that nowadays twice a year (or once a year) a new collection appears of these shades. The colors tend to be a little bit more `trendy’ than the regular Essie classic line and the names on the bottles are clearly always targeted towards a younger (Tiktok) audience. The shades in the new power moves collection are called: Take a breakdance (a lig ..read more

I finally have some Essie news that I’m really excited about! If you’ve been following Essie’s recent releases you know that they have been filled with creme nail polishes. For me personally, it started to be a bit tiring. However, Essie is back with two new exciting collections: Nail art studio Special effects and Nail art studio Jelly gloss! Both collections are huge, and they are really something different than what we’ve recently seen from Essie. Essie Nail art studio special effect This is probably the collection that I’m personally the most excited about. The Essie Nail art studio speci ..read more
