Cirque Tibetan Nights swatches - and a happy New Year!

I thought this would make a great New Years post - happy New Year every one!!
Cirque Tibetan Nights - is a beautiful dark blue jelly with multi-shaped glitters.
You see 2 coats without a top coat. For the photos it should have been 3 coats, but in person I didn't notice the patchy transparency that I see now...
What do you think...?

Chanel Vertigo 563 Les Essentiels Coll. swatches

Chanel Vertigo 563is not the same as Vertigo 60, age unknown. Vertigo 563 is from the Les Essentiels Coll. fall 2012: Vertigo 563, Suspicious 561 and Frenzy 559.
Vertigo is a super dark grey with hints of black, brown and smoke – and it has a very shy shimmer. The application is a breeze and the finish is shiny and gorgeous.
This is 2 coats, even if 1 rich coat is enough, and I did not use a top coat for these swatches.

Dior 887 Purple Mix swatches - Collaboration Saturday

On this Collaboration Saturday together with my friend Elena from PicturedTinsel I am today showing:
Dior Purple Mix 887 - a gorgeous purple creme polish with the famous Dior hidden shimmer. It is dark, but not blackened, and it has a slight dusty quality.
The formula is flawless and the dry time is good - but I do not like the wide brush in the newer Diors, I prefer the smaller brushes...
På denne Collaboration Saturday sammen med min veninde Elena fra PicturedTinsel viser jeg i dag:
Dior Purple Mix 887 - en smuk lilla cremelak med det berømte skjulte Dior shimmer. Den er mørk, men ikke over i det sorte, og den er en lille smule støvet.
Konsistensen er perfekt og den tørrer godt - men jeg er ikke vild med den brede pensel i de nyere Dior lakker, jeg foretrækker de mindre pensler...
Do you like Purple Mix...?
I wonder what Elena is showing us today, lets go and have a look :)
Hvad synes du om Purple Mix...?
Gad vide hvad  Elena viser os i dag, skal vi smutte over og kigge :)
