Do you like them..?

Kiko 302 Pearly Orchid and 338 Light Lavender swatches

302 Pearly Orchid
Kiko 302 Pearly Orchid is a warm/red toned purple with a pretty shimmer. This is two easy coats – and no top coat. It’s gorgeous, but I seem to prefer the blue-toned purples better.

338 Light Lavender
Kiko 338 Light Lavender is a beautiful light lavender, so in this case the name is spot on. You see two easy coats without a top coat.
Do you like these two...?

Powder Perfect swatches: Fading Tapestry and Widdow's Walk

Today I have two Powder Perfect polishes - both from the Abandoned Mansion collection...

Fading Tapestry:
Powder Perfect Fading Tapestry – is a beautiful darkish red leaning slightly towards brick and coral, and it’s loaded with scattered holographic micro glitters. This is two easy coats with a coat of Seche Vite as it dries just a little gritty. The dry time is good!

Widow's Walk:
Powder Perfect Widows Walk – is a beautiful eggplant purple with scattered holographic micro glitters, making it glow from within. This is two easy coats, no top coat – and the dry time is good.
Do like these two as much as I do..?
I bought them from Edgy Polish!

Priti Nyc swatches: Etoile Violet and Ruffled Velvet Iris

- a blurple and a purple Priti Nyc...

Etoile Violet
Priti Nyc 376 Etoile Violet is a blue toned medium purple, I would definitely call it a blurple. This is 2 coats without a top coat.

Ruffled Velvet iris:
Priti Nyc 617 Ruffled Velvet Iris is a beautiful red toned medium purple. It is very opaque, so one coat is enough, but this is two coats without a top coat.
Do you like these two Priti Nyc polishes..?

Chanel Inframetal spring 2002 swatches

Chanel Inframétal – is from spring 2002 released in the Inframétal set also including a lipstick.
Inframétal is a charcoal black with a subtle – but super interesting shimmer.
The application is super easy and the finish is beautiful and shiny. This is 2 coats without a top coat.
Unfortunately the seller cut of the lower part of the label (telling it was a tester not for sale)...
Do you like Inframétal..?

Offline back to basics week - and looking back at my life

The next week or so, your will see this text at the end of each post - twice a day as usual:
This is a scheduled post, I am having a long needed offline week, but I look forward to reading your comments and visiting your blogs again around May 6th….

I need to be entirely offline - as hard as it might be, but it's nice after a few days og getting back to basics LOL - believe it or not. And it is amazing how much you get fixed around and in the house..

It makes me think back on my life....
Most of my childhood I lived far out in the country in the middle of amazing nature and close to the Limfjord.
As a pre-school child I often was allowed to follow the milkman with his two horses and chart, when he collected milk from the farms in the neighborhood. He and the postman had important roles back then, it was the local internet serving the local news. We got invited in for coffee, and a piece of bread with margarine and sugar was a rare and delicious treat.
I played a lot outdoors, and I didn't need fancy toys, I found all I needed in nature. I did of course have toys to play with too, but the most fun was to create something myself - using my imagination.
My father was the head of the production on Skarrehage Molerværk, now know as Skamol. I loved to roam around the factory and visit the "burners" taking care of the burning of the moler bricks, the carpenter who let me build tings, and the driver of the truck sometimes let me go for a drive.
My two Pekingese dogs and I were roaming around every day, sometimes so far away that I lost track of time, and as it grew darker the more scared I got - but then my dogs turned into mighty Chinese dragons protecting me ;)
I was around 5-6 years old when we got a TV set, and for many, many years only one channel was available, and in the beginning it only transmitted Sunday evenings.
It was early 90s when I got my first mobile phone. I still remember the brick-sized super heavy mobile, that my husband had through his work, OMG, amazing technology!
Our first internet was a modem, it was mid 90's, and as far as I remember the computer was lightning fast and had a stunning 64KB memory...
And today children seem to be born with an Ipad or smartphone in their hands.
So a lot have happened during the 60 years I have been around, and I'm happy I have lived to see it.

Ah well, enough rambling for one day - see you all soon!
Muddi, me and Chap...
Who knows, I might even take up knitting again ;)
