China Glaze Prismatic collection. Sorry for the crappy pics. These are supposed to be kind of duo-chrome, but I don’t really see it. Maybe liquid crystal. Otherwise, nice formula, this is 3 coats with top coat. Even though they’re not all that duo-chrome, they are pretty, but the colors are very close to each other so unless you’re like me and gotta catch’em all, you won’t need all of them.

Ah, I have so much to show you, my box of un-swatched is filled to the brim (OPI spiderman, vintage minnie, color club take wing, essie bridal and neons, etc etc). And, of course, I accidentally tore of my middle nail (on my swatching hand) into a super nubbin’. Hope I will be able to swatch again soon!

Ok, I admit it, I got myself an iphone, and apparently it’s mandatory to get an instagram account if you do (not really, but it seems that way). So I did it. If anyone is interested in a more casual and boring look at my everyday life, my username is krexperplex.

This is my profile picture. I love it (mostly because I love my casemate monsta)

I love my new shaker!

Ok, what kind of shaker you use for your diet shakes or whatever maybe doesn’t do much difference, but having a nice one makes it a little more fun. I love my new one, it’s a Smartshake v2 in mutant edition. Smartshake is actually a swedish invention! It’s first of all a great shaker because it eliminates lumps excellent, second it has two extra compartments that you can screw on the bottom, if you want to take with you some extra portions or store supplements. I bought mine from Amazon but if you live in Sweden you can buy it from Gymgrossisten.

Just look at that light minty green color, it makes me happy.

Procrastinator? No, I’m just a waiter.

And I don’t mean like a waitress, but someone who waits to do things. Because I’m waiting for something. Swatch nail polish? No, I’ll wait until my new macro lens arrives (not that there is /anything/ wrong with the expensive one I already use). Start dieting with shakes? No, I have to wait until the new fancy shaker I ordered arrives (although I could keep borrowing my fiances shaker). Start my new life? No, I’ll wait until monday because it’s ‘easier’ to begin something new when a new week begins. That’s what I do. Wait. And nothing gets done because I always have something else or new to wait for. I really need to stop doing this, and the first step is to try stopping it /now/, and not wait until monday.

Anyway, here’s some photos I’ve taken the last days. Really need to do that more often, since it gets me out of the apartment (yep, still not very keen on getting outside).

Copper Pot

They were a little bit on the sheer side, indian ocean being the sheerest, I think I did 4 (?) coats on that one. The colors are perfect for summer!

Hook and Line

Foie Gras

Fast Track

I know absolutely nothing about the hunger games, and I still don’t. Well, I watched the trailer and figured out it was based on some books. So I have no clue if the colors match the theme, but I think they are weird for springtime. They would be great for autumn though. I’m impressed with the formula, is it just me or have the formulas gotten so much better lately?

Anyway, expect swatches of misas spring collection and china glaze hunger games collection next week! I also have color club magnetic force, china glaze prismatic and essie resort waiting in line for swatching.

Color Clubs spring collection blossoming. I didn’t really like the formula on these, but they weren’t bad, just a little sheer sometimes. I can’t remember which but one of these needed 4 coats (I usually do 3).
