Ebalay Nail Polish Swatches

Ebalay - 008 and 012

Sorry for the lack of posts. During summer I spend a lot of my

time outside without a computer, so posting will be sporadic.

I was asked in a haul post where these Ebalay polishes was

included if I could swatch them first. And that is a good idea as

there is a -25% offer at http://www.kkcenterhk.com/ where I

got them from. But it is only until May 31st. No code needed.

I have to insert a jump brake here as this post has many photos...

Hauls from the Past - Part 2

Here comes the second part of hauls that I should have posted ages ago.

Click Here if you want to have a look at what was shown in Part 1.

Viva La Nails

Viva La Nails Shop is a good place to get all your essential nail care tools

from and accessories such as files, nail tips, rhinestones and waterdecals.

They have Konad Special Polishes and Stamping Image Plates too.

Hauls from the Past - Part 1 PIC HEAVY

These haul posts should have been posted ages ago.

Most of them are from last year. But I never got round to

it so I thought I would combine them in one post or two.

Beauty Cosmetics

There was more polishes in my first order from Beauty Cosmetic

 but my sister took all of the Orange polishes I had in this order. I

got my first Essence Color and Go polishes, my first Flormar and

Gabrini polishes. And some Classics Polishes, the small glitter 

bottles in the front and Metallics, but I think they are Golden Rose.

Born Pretty Store

A bunch of Water Decals from Born Pretty Store. I have not used

so many of them yet. And some of them I have already given away.

You can click the photos to see them bigger and get a better view.

Kkcenterhk

With a glitter hysteria going on a while ago I wanted to jump on the

wagon and placed an order at Kkcenterhk. I wanted to try out some

new brands. I got BestSence, Ouqian and Ebalay and at that some Waterdecals.

Light In The Box

My order from Light In The Box took a while to come.

And one of the polishes was smashed up in shipping.

Good thing the polishes was packed in small baggies

so that the other bottles was not covered in polish. I'm

still waiting for the replacement to come.

Maybe I should have taken the refund instead.

And then ordered the missing polish from

Born Pretty Store instead. Because they have

the same BK Fashion Nail Color polishes.

Ninja Polish

This polish haul is from April this year.

 Rhonni over at Polish Ninja Blog was doing a Group Buy from Brazil. I was

in on the 4th one. I don't think she does them anymore but you can just get the

polishes from Ninja Polish Shop, it is basically the same thing but a web shop.

I wanted some Hits Flake, Holographic and Duo/multi Chrome Polises.

But she missed to send me one polish - Dionisio, and I'm still waiting for it.

Here in Sweden we have lots of Make Up Stores and I went and

bought three of their Holographic Polishes and the Aqua Fix

Base Coat for holos. I use it only under the Make Up Store holos.

Sorry for this bulk post but I'm trying to catch up.

New Cheeky Plates coming...

I can see some awesome beach nails done with this plate from

the NEW Cheeky Beauty Image Plate collection that is coming

And that's a "Piece of Pie"

Sponged Gradient - NOTD

With polishes from my Epic Polish Haul I wanted to try out the "NEW" way of

sponging. I did a search and found a method that The Nailasaurus shows HERE.
All I can say is that this manicure sure got a lot of attention and stares from people.

Essence - Chilled Orange and Lounge Chair Affair
MeMeMe - Vivacious and Savina - Purple Prince

Here's how I did it:

I started out with a base coat and a layer of white polish. This so that

the colors would "pop". Then I painted my nails with the lightest color

Essence "Soul Sista" - Chilled Orange. Following the steps in

The Nailasaurus post using the lightest color and the remaning colors

Essence "Soul Sista" - Lounge Chair Affair, MeMeMe - Vivacious

and Savina - Purple Prince I dabbed my nails with a cosmetic sponge.

Because sponging makes the nails a bit bumpy I applied a couple of coats

of a thicker topcoat to smooth out the surface. I mattified one of my nails.

I fell in love with the matte nail. How about you... Do you like it shiny or matte?

This is my epic haul. For now just a quick run through. More

Finally my first Catrice, Eyeko polishes and essence image plates.

I ordered a lot of Essence Color and Go polishes. I also wanted to try out

the Essence Season of Extremes and Colour³ doubble ended polishes.

I also got: MeMeMe Best Seller Collection - Pink

MeMeMe Nail Care Collection

With my order I got some free gifts. Face primers, eyeshadows and candy.

Glitter Gal Red Holograpic Polish

I just have to show you swatches of Glitter Gal - Red (3D/Holo).

Red is my favorite color. This polish is just breath taking. I love it.
