The Dexter Collection: He Saw, She Saw

Okay, let's start off these 9 days with He Saw, She Saw! The reason why I will be posting all the polishes one by one is because I really really like to see a lot of pictures of one swatch. That way I can see all the different details of the polish instead of just one photo. And YES, these posts will be picture-heavy. Sorry, not sorry.

 He Saw, She Saw is a nude base with various sizes of grey hexes and small iridescent hexes and it is infused with a gorgeous iredescent light green/blue shimmer.

This is 3 coats of He Saw, She Saw on its own. No dragging, dabbing or fishing needed with this polish! It has a nice consistency and it applies very well. I put on top coat to smooth everything out a bit.

In the macros above you can clearly see the different types of glitter in this polish. Various sized grey hexes, irridescent hexes, a beautiful shimmer. He Saw, She Saw is a very wearable lacquer and it is not too in your face, but it has something different. And that something is what makes this polish so pretty.

This beauty is available on Etsy and Llarowe. You can keep up with Cadillacquer on Facebook!

Tomorrow I will be posting Have A Killer Day, so stay tuned for that one!


He Saw, She Saw was sent to me for my honest review.

Cadillacquer 'Such is Life'-collection

Cadillacquer is fairly new to the indie polish world, but oh boy, I fell in love the moment I saw some of Madeleine's creations. She creates soft, feminine shades packed with awesome glitter combinations. Oh btw, this handmade polish is made in Switzerland!
So do you like pastels? Soft shades? Super awesome glitter combo's? Yes, yes and yes? Then you will absolutely love her new collection: 'Such is Life'!

First row from left to right: Live Free, Tell It To The Frogs, Bring On The Night, Say The Word 
Middle: Where The Wild Things Are
Second row from left to right: Once More, No Place Like Home, Life's Too Short,  Restless

Pastels: check. Soft shades: check. Super awesome glitter combo's: double check!! The lacquers are all very wearable for any occasion. Madeleine was so kind to send me four of her new polishes. Today you will get a preview of each one, and four Sundays in a row (starting tomorrow) I will be posting pictures and swatches of each polish. Enough of that, let's move on to some bottle shots!

Can I just say that I loooove this kind of bottles?

Here we have No Place Like Home. It's a soft grey-ish, lilac-ish pastel polish infused with gorgeous silver and pink flecks. I also had pastel coloured hex glitters, which makes it all tie together.

Next up is Restless. Some of you might know that I love me some minty polishes! There is a lot going on in this polish, but I'll try my best to describe it. It is a mint base with big turquoise hexes, normal-sized turquoise and burgundy hexes and very small fuchsia, turquoise, burgundy and silver holographic glitter. PHEW.

Let's move on to Where The Wild Things Are. This is a blue-ish grey base with a golden shimmer in it. It has various sizes of grey, white and iridescent glitters and some iridescent shreds.

The last one: Bring On The Night is a dark jelly base with a burgundy-ish shimmer in it. It has big and small turquoise square glitter. All I can say is that it is glittery, very glittery.

So these are the polishes you will see the next four weeks. I hope you like them, I surely do!

Cadillacquer nail polishes can be bought on Etsy. They are 15 ml and $12 each. Also, make sure to visit and like their Facebookpage!

Striped Tip

Here's what I got on my nails today, striped tips!
I really wanted to paint my nails, but wasn't sure what exactly to do, so I came up with this simple design. I really love the colour combination, not quite "fall-appropriate" but hey!

For this manicure I painted on Kiko - 328 as a base colour. I used Catrice - It's All I Can Blue, Catrice - Innocent Toxin, China Glaze - Aquadelic and Nail Art Brushes from Born Pretty Store to create the stripes on my tips. I finished off with Essence - Top Sealer.

Oh, by the way! You can also find my designs here and here!

Only You Swatches

 About three weeks ago I submitted one of my nail designs in a nail art contest. And guess what! I won three polishes!

And here they are! As you see, they're Only You polishes. Only You is a new brand of nailpolish, sold at Ici Paris XL.
You can compare these polishes to Catrice's. It's more or less the same quality and they got exactly the same brush!

I won (from left to right) Geisha, Stormy Monday and Fabulous. And I swatched them for you:

First up is Geisha.

3 layers of Geisha

I used 3 layers of this milky, sheer pink polish. There's no full coverage possible, I guess. But you can use it as a base colour when you are doing a classic French.


Next is Stormy Monday.

2 layers of Stormy Monday

Stormy Monday is a grey polish, but it has tiny pink and purple glitters in it. So at first I was like: "Hmmhmm", but after the second layer I was like "Yay-YAY-YAAAY!"
P.S.: it's similar to chanel paradoxal! :-) only a tad greyer.


And last but definitly not least: here's Fabulous!

3 layers of Fabulous

This is the colour I got after a third layer of Fabulous. When I got the first layer on my nails, the colour was red! Just simple red. Something I didn't expect when I saw the bottle.

I really think this polish is fabulous, it's a classy colour and it has a shiny finish.
One thing, it's really hard to remove it, my fingertips were bright red and I didn't get it off, ahhhh.
But still, I love it, yay! 

Do you have any Only You polishes?
