Nail mail - Swaps!

Hello!

I have lots of polishes to show you today. I received 2 swap packages that I did with amazingly kind and sweet ladies: Laura, my friend from Brazil, and Traci from the Trace Face Philes, that you must all know! :D

Let's see what I got! The first package I received is the package from the wonderful Laura!

OMG!!

Sancion Angel polishes l-r: Platinum, Blue Moon, Christmas Tree, Bedtime Stories.

Aren't those glitters amazing? Close-ups are required!

Sancion Angel polishes l-r: Platinum, Blue Moon.

 OMG! Those glitters look amazing! I love them! Platinum has mulicolored hex glitters in different sizes and Blue Moon is made of silver, black (!), and cyan hex glitter in different sizes!

Sancion Angel polishes l-r:  Christmas Tree, Bedtime Stories.

Obviously, Christmas Tree has some problems...Laura told me this before but I said I wanted it anyway. And I tried it on a nail wheel and it works nicely.

Sancion Angel polishes l-r: Moon Shadow, Roxie.

Moon shadow is composed of medium black hex glitters! :D and Roxie is a sheer black base polish packed with multicolored flakies and an iridescent shimmer! The flakies are rather small and pretty!

l-r: Hits Specialità - Virgìnia, Risqué - Attitude Pink, Passe Nati - Quero Felicidade.

Virgìnia is a dark gray/black polish packed with a gorgeous shimmer. Attitude Pink is a pretty bright pink, and Quero Felicidade is a clear polish packed with fine purple gliters and green flakies!

Ludurana polishes l-r: Color Block Violet, Carraro, Quartzo, Viviane.

Violet is a very saturated and glowy magenta. Carraro is a yummy creamy baby pink with very fine pink, purple, and holo silver glitters. I love this polish!! Quartzo is the blue version of Carraro with white, pink, purple, and holo silver glitters. It's also super gorgeous! And Viviane is a charcoal glimmery goddess! There is pink, purple, and green shimmer in it! It sparkles like crazy! Thank you so much, Laura!!

Ludurana polishes l-r: Red-Orange, Red-Pink, Violet-Blue, and Turquesa-Red.

This is the duochrome collection of Ludurana. I think they are not super duochrome but they are really pretty. Turquesa-Red reminds me of Nubar Indigo Illusion!

Up Colors Holographic polishes l-r: Rosa Prisma, Brilho Rosa.

These Up Colors polishes are amazing! I've already tried Rosa Prisma and it's a killer. You can view my swatches here.

l-r: PanVel - Congo, Big Universo - Matte top coat.

Congo is a shimmery matte polish! I SO love this type of finish so I cannot wait to try it. I'm sure I'll love it!

Hits Specialità l-r: Daring, Chameleon, Trendy, Unconventional.

OMG! I can't wait to try them! The box is from the set called Unique. However this set is normally composed of Unconventional, Artsy, Daring, and Chameleon. But I wanted Trendy instead of Artsy so Laura send me the box but she changed Artsy for Trendy lol.

Thank you SO much, Laura, for this amazing swap. I sincerely LOVE all the polishes. They are all so beautiful!! and thank you for all the gifts and surprises you sent me!!

And next is the package I received from Traci!! Traci wanted some Catrice polishes and in exchange I really wanted some Manglaze. I've been drooling over them for such a long time! ;D and she was super sweet to pass an order for me!! Manglaze doesn't ship internationally so I'm really grateful Traci could get them for me! Thank you SO much, Traci!!

Manglaze polishes ans candies!!

l-r: ILF, Fuggen Ugly, Fatty's Got More Blood, Lesbihonest!

She also sent me a lot of candies!! and peanut butter cups! nom nom nom (I already ate them all!!), and also a Julep hand brightener and scrub, my very first Julep products! Thank you so much, Traci!!

I also bought from her blog sale OPI Vould U Like a Lick-tenstein and Chocoalte Moose, 2 discontinued polishes that I love but I forgot to photograph them. I'll show you them when I'll try them on my nails!

wow, that was a lot!! Once again, thank you, Laura and Traci!!

Hits no Olimpo! Swatches!

Hello~

Yesterday I received my amazing and unbelivable swap with Rafa from Nail Ink and among the lovely polishes she sent me, there were all the polishes from the Hits no Olimpo collection! I couldn't resist to try them. As I didn't know which one to try first, I swatched them all on a nail wheel. Of course, I'll swatch them on my nails and show you all this beauties. But I also think it might be useful to have them all in one post.

Just a few words on the brand. Hits Speciallità is a Brazilian brand and they released last year a gorgeous collection of holographic polishes! Be aware this is not a 3Free brand (there are some toluene, a formaldehyde resin and dibutylphtalate in them) and they stink. If you want a 3Free alternative for holographic polishes, you can go to Ludurana or Glitter Gal. A-England will also soon release a new holo line!

Upper row, l-r: Atena, Afrodite, Deméter, Hermes, Artemis, Hefesto, lower row: Zeus, Apolo, Hera, Dionísio, Héstia, Ares, Poseidon.

l-r: Zeus, Apolo, Hera, Dionísio, Héstia.

l-r: Hera, Dionísio, Héstia, Ares, Poseidon.

l-r: Atena, Afrodite, Deméter, Hermes, Artemis.

l-r: Afrodite, Deméter, Hermes, Artemis, Hefesto.

Then the nail wheel swatches. All the swatches are 2 coats of polish (without top coat), no flash, artificial light (no sun).

Lancelot is from A-England It's a blackened red, almost black. GG = Glitter Gal.

On the above picture, I wanted to compare Artemis, Hefesto, and Glitter Gal Silver 3D Holo (GGNP 707H) as holo top coats. Glitter Gal and Hefesto are in real life identical, or at least very close. On the swatch here, I used a thicker coat of Gliter Gal so it seems a little more holo but if you apply the same amount, Glitter Gal is not more holo than Hefesto. They are both amazing top coats, very very holographic! Artemis also works as a top coat but gives a frostier effect, it's more metallic and slightly less holo. This is due to the metallic finish. 

I also added China Glaze LOL and TTYL to see the difference in terms of holo effect. China glaze have even finer holo particles and look more "matte" than Hits holo. Hits are more glossy. You can see and feel the difference also when you touch them.

Hermes has the same kind of metallic finish as Artemis.

I'll do swatches on my nails soon! But I've also prepared comparison swatches between Ludurana Show, Reluz and Emocionante, and Ozotic 504, 505, and 506!

Purchase info:
Hits polishes can be purchased from Llarowe. Each bottle contain 6 mL. Hits holographic polishes cost $10 each. Don't forget, Hits has also multichrome and flakies polishes!

Amazing swap with Rafa from Brazil

Hello~

Excitement overwhelmed me when I received a box from my friend Rafa today!! She sent me so many amazing polishes and goodies. Rafa is the co-owner, with 3 other lovely  girls, of Nail Ink. If you don't know their blog, go and have a look. There are always great polishes and swatches to look at :D

When I first heard of Hits holographic polishes (Hits no olimpo) and Ludurana Aurora Boreal collection, I so wanted to try these polishes and at that time Llarowe didn't have them on her website (yeah, we started talking about this swap at the very begining of October!), that my friend Rafa agreed to swap with me! BTW, she is the nicest and loveliest girl I've ever known through polishes! Thank you, Rafa!

At first I wanted just a few polishes (less than 10) and then we kept adding polishes to arrive to this crazy amount I'll show you in the underneath pictures! 

Ludurana, Hits, Rivka, Ana Hickmann, Risqué, Passe Nati, and Blant polishes! And also some cute nail files and a poket cuticle moisturizer (I've already tried it and I LOVE it!).

The whole Hits No Olimpo collection!! *v*)

Ludurana flakies: Relâmpago, Chuva, Arco-Iris, Trovão.

 They all have multicolored flakies except Trovão, which has green and blue/teal flakies. I can't take my eyes off Trovâo. It's really beautiful, mesmerizing!

Ludurana Aurora Boreal: Show, Reluz, Emocionante, Esplêndido.

Hits flakies: Lambada and Samba.

Lamabada has a multicolored flakies in a clear base, while Samba has green flakies in a green base. Samba is really beautiful, it's also duochrome. You can see blue in it.

Ana Hickmann Reflex, Relux and Glow.

Ana Hickmann is a brand I didn't know, but I'm always happy to try new brands! These polishes are a present from Rafa. Reflex is a purple/green duochrome, Relux is a dark green shimmery polish, and Glow has red/orange-green flakies!!

Passe Nati - Baile, Risqué - Violeta Acinzentado, Rivka - Jenny.

These again are a gift from Rafa. The first one (Passe Nati - Baile) is a white/yellow/green shimmery polish. Risqué - Violeta Acinzentado is supposed to be a dupe for Chanel Paradoxal (I have it so I will compare them, but they do seem really similar). Rivka - Jenny is a gorgeous charcoal holo. It doesn't look that holo in the bottle here but it is on the nails.

Blant Fortuna, Romance, and Paz.

This set is also a gift!! So many gifts! Thank you so much Rafa for all these amazing polishes!! I LOVE them ALL!!

wow...!! so many gorgeous polishes!!

Expect some swatches in the upcoming days~ Tomorrow I'll present you Hits no Olimpo collection in more details!

Purchase info
