NOTD June 12th: Stillday - 38

Hey there!
Today I want to show you a nail polish I picked up during my vacation in Italy. It's the color 38 from a brand called Stillday and it's made in Italy.

38 is very dark blackened blue creme. It's very very dark, sometimes you can hardly tell it's blue. I thought it was a jelly, but when you apply it you can tell that it's actually more of a creme.
Application was great, it was already pretty opaque with 1 coat, but I did a second one to correct little mistakes I made. The formula is nice and creamy, but you gotta be really careful that you don't mess it up. It's super hard to correct little mistakes afterwards, so do you best with the application!
In the pictures I'm wearing 2 coats as well as base and top coat.

Now, I already removed this, and let me tell you, it was horrible. I don't think I ever had a polish that stained my hands as much! It smears everywhere, and that's also what makes cleanup or touch ups really hard! You want to be patient with it, removal will take a while.
Bottom line, I'm not utterly smitten with this polish, but that's only due to the bad removal. The polish itself is great, and for 1 Euro I really can't complain.
What do you think of it?

Haul from Italy!

Hey there!
Today I want to show you a few nail polishes I picked up in Italy. I had actually planned to get a bigger variety of cosmetic products, not only nail polishes, and also visit a Sephora, but somehow this plan didn't work out. I was so busy being at the beach and visiting the beautiful country that I didn't really get the chance to go into "real" cosmetic stores...maybe next time! But at that moment making the most of my vacation was a little more important to me than shopping :D
I picked up most of these polishes at little supermarket/dollar stores around the area I spent my vacation, and to be honest, I don't really know anything about these brands...maybe someone can tell whether I bought only crap or something good?! :D
First of all, these was this brand called Stillday. I bought 2 of their polishes, and each one was 1 Euro. It actually says on the bottle that it's made in Italy, so it's definitely from there. It contains 15 ml.
Stillday's 38 is a dark blackened blue that applies a little like a jelly but it perfectly opaque at 2 coats. It's so pretty, and I didn't expect it to be this opaque!

Stillday's 11 is a glitter polish. It's blue round glitter in a almost clear, slightly blue-tinted base. I thought it might be cool with 38. For the swatch I did 3 coats, and it's not opaque yet, it's better for layering.

Next, a local store had tons and tons of Yesensy nail polishes, and they were all 1 Euro as well. At first I thought they were Italian, too, but Google told me it's actually a Spanish brand! They seem to have different lines of nail polish, because some bottle shapes are different.
Yesensy's 028 is a dark red with a strong golden duochrome. It's super pretty, looks different at each angle, and I like it a lot. I did 3 thin coats on the nail wheel.

Yesensy's 052 looks crazy in the bottle, it's a sheer warm purple with all kinds of glitter, mainly purple and orange. When applied, however, it's a slightly tinted polish with fine glitter, almost like flakies. I'm sure this makes a good effect polish! Swatch is 3 coats.

Yesensy's 045 is from the scented polish line, and when dry it's supposed to smell like melon. I gotta sniff at it some time, didn't do that yet. It's a deep blue with smooth glitter that applies nicely and looks really deep on. I did 2 coats for the swatch.

And, the last brand I bought something from, is nothing unfamiliar: Kiko. When I saw the store I just quickly had to get in and get myself 2 nail polishes. I'll have the time to look at other Kiko stuff in detail back in Germany.
Kiko's 240 is a deep almost bloody red creme, and it applies almost like a jelly, super pleasant consistency. Twocoater.

Kiko's 300 is a green-toned blue with a shimmer and micro-glitter, it's one of those mermaid-shades and super stunning. Again a twocoater. Have I mentioned that Kiko polishes are just perfect? I love them :)

So, this is what I got! What do you think of it? Do you know any of the brands?
When I was in San Marino, btw, I was looking out for inexpensive stuff, since you can get a lot of things duty-free there. In one store they actually seemed to sell Chanel and Dior polishes for 10 Euros, and I got totally excited. But then I had a look at the bottles: each said "tester, not for sale". I was so disappointed! I mean, I'm not gonna buy a tester, especially not when I can't even see whether it's still nice. Who would want to buy a tester?! Don't get it...
See you soon,
xoxo, Misch
