Depend O2 Rough Glitter

Just in time for Christmas Depend releases two nail polish collections that are perfect for the festivities. The first collection is called Rough Glitter and it consists of six polishes in the O2 formula. The polishes are textured (as the name applies) and they can be worn with or without top coat, depending on if you want a matte or a glossy finish.

I have swatched the polishes with and without top coat (I used one coat of Gel setter from Essie).

Depend Rough Glitter – 5030 Mr Snowman

Mr Snowman is a gold textured polish that covers in 2 coats.

Depend Rough Glitter – 5031 Secret Santa

Secret santa is a red textured polish that covers in two coats.

Depend Rough Glitter – 5032 Make a wish

Make a wish is a purple textured polish that covers in three coats.

Depend Rough Glitter – 5033 Elf kisses

Elf kisses is a black textured polish that covers in three coats.

Depend Rough Glitter – 5034 Frosty star

Frosty star is a green textured polish that covers in one coat. The formula of this polish is amazing, it is so easy to apply.

Depend Rough Glitter – 5035 Reindeer dash

Reindeer dash is a grey textured polish that covers in two coats.

I really like this collection but I have a confession to make. I love the look of textured polishes but I hate wearing them. I mostly wear dresses and tights and textured polishes and tights don’t go well together.

My favorites are Mr Snowman (the gold) and Frosty star (the green).

Blue floral nails

I felt that I needed to paint something completely different to all the fall and Halloween designs I’ve done lately. So I went for something that I love to paint, flowers!

For this floral manicure I used I believe in manicures, Apartment for two, Mod about you and I’m sooo swamped! all from OPI, together with a dotting tool and a detail brush from Depend. The dotting tool and detail brush have become favorites of mine. Since I got them I have used them for almost all my free-hand nail art designs. (Read more about them here)

What is you favorite nail art design to paint?

Essie Haute tub vs Depend O2 501

About a month ago I showed you swatches from Depend’s O2 Rewind collection. I thought that one of the polishes from the Rewind collection was really similar to Haute tub from last year’s holiday collection from Essie. So today I’m gonna show you a comparison of the two polishes.

Essie Haute tub & Depend O2 501

Here I’m wearing two coats of each polish over one coat of base coat. And as you can see they are very similar. The only difference is that O2 501 has more puple glitter than Haute tub.

Out of the two polishes I prefer O2 501, just because the purple glitter is more visible.

Beauty favorites September

It’s time for a new category here on my blog, monthly beauty favorites! Products that I have used and loved this past month.

Rituals – Honey touch

I seriously can’t stop sniffing myself after I’ve applied this body creme. It smells sooo good and leaves my skin soft and moisturized. I really like Rituals body cremes because they sink in to the skin very quickly, and as I already said they smell so lovely.

Exuviance – Triple Microdermabrasion

This face polish is the best! My skin feels so smooth and soft after using it. This is a product that will always be a part of my skin care routine from now on.

The Body Shop – Himalayan charcoal

This is one of the new face masks from The Body Shop. I got a sample of it a few weeks ago and after trying it I just had to buy the mask. I like how it makes my skin feel deeply cleansed and my pores smaller. Read more about it here.

Ole Henriksen – Truth serum collagen booster

First of all this serums smells amazing! Like the color hints, it smells like orange. I have just started to use this serum but so far I really like it, it feels like it gives the skin a bit of an extra glow.

Depend – Eyebrow Pencil slim & thin

This is one of the new products from Depends Perfect eye collection and the eyebrow pencil quickly became a favorite of mine. It is really easy to use and the result gets better every day. My brows are on fleek with this pencil!

Which products were your favorites this past month? Let me know in the comments!

Depend Perfect eye

Last Friday I was in Stockholm for Depend’s press event Perfect eye. Before the event I met up with Hanna to take some nail pictures, because we had done matching manis for the occasion.

Twin nails using a bunch of Depend polishes: O2 497 (from the Rewind collection), 419, 493, 496 and 498 (from the Glam Rock collection) and butterfly stencils from Snail Vinyls.

Depend have quite a few collections coming out this fall, I’ve already showed you the Holo Fantasy collection and now it’s time for their 7day collection called Force of nature. I got eight polishes to review (out of 14 polishes) from this collection.

Depend Force of nature – 7094 Mother nature

Depend Force of nature – 7102 Nature’s lullaby

Nature’s lullaby is a gold, copper and black glitter polish in a clear base that covers in three coats. The polish in my bottle was almost all dried up, the bottle neck was really messy, so I think that’s why. I tried to save it by pouring a LOT of Seche restore into the bottle and mix it together. It worked but the formulas is not good.

Depend Force of nature – 7103 Reflecting pond

Reflecting pond is a blue metallic polish that covers in two coats.

Depend Force of nature – 7105 Secret wildfire

Secret wildfire is a dark vampy red metallic polish that covers in two coats.

Later this fall Depend will release a collection with eight holographic polishes and it’s so beautiful.

Of course I have swatches of them to show you.

Holo Fantasy collection on a rainy day. Even without sunlight and visible holo they are still so beautiful.

IMG_4754 (1)

Holo Fantasy collection in direct sunlight, hello holo!

Holo Fantasy – 5036 Sweet elves

Sweet elves is a orange polish that covers in three coats. Two coats could work too, but I think I had a little too much VNL. Unfortunately the holo isn’t very visible in this polish, but it’s still pretty.

Holo Fantasy – 5037 Forbidden witchcraft

Forbidden whichcraft is a orange polish that is very similar to Sweet elves in many ways: color, formula and not so much holo. I’m using three coats in this picture.

Holo Fantasy – 5038 Pegasus girl

Pegasus girl is a cerice polish that covers in two coats. I really like this color and I thought that this would be my favorite from the collection. However the holo is not very visible, so I guess I was hoping for a little more for it to be a favorite.

Holo Fantasy – 5039 Dungeons & goddesses

Dungeons & goddesses is a plum polish that covers in two coats. Finally we get to see some holo!

Holo Fantasy – 5040 Unicorn dream

Unicorn dream is a purple polish that covers in two coats. Loot at that holo, so pretty! This is definitely my favorite from the collection.

Holo Fantasy – 5041 Dragon flirt

Dragon flirt is a dark green polish that covers in two coats.

Holo Fantasy – 5042 Lady wizard

Lady wizard is a black polish that’s almost is a one coater, I used two coats here. It’s really stunning, and this one is a favorite too!

Holo Fantasy – 5043 Night potion

Night potion is a grey polish that covers in two coats. In the bottle it looks very similar to Lady wizard, but on the nails you see that they are different.

This collection is limited edition, it will be released week 39 and the polishes will retail for 29kr. Make sure to get your hands on it if you have the chance because these polishes are really beautiful! I think I might have to get me some spares since the bottles are so small! The only thing I think could’ve been better is a bigger variety of colors, two of the polishes are really similar. And I wish that they all had more holo in them, I think the first three polishes are beautiful, but they are not really holo.
