P2-Dating Time (New Collection!)



I'm wearing 3 coats of P2-Dating Time, plus Essie-Good 2 Go. In one word: LOVE. After the Chanel Jade craze I got a little tired of minty greens. And although I own quite a few shades of minty polish, I didn't really feel like wearing them.
But this one is different to me! It's a very soft and pretty pastel mint green with a hint of lime, which is very feminine and sweet. If you found the other shades of mint green "too much", you might like this one!It's totally wearable, and the formula is good. And you get all of this for just 1,55 euro:).
I was surprised to see the shades of the new P2 collection, because they're all pastel colours! That's not the first thing you think of when autumn starts, is it? I only picked up this one, and a very, very pretty salmony pink one named "Blushing Bride", the other ones were not that appealing to me.

Minty Greens.




Iedereen is de laatste tijd in de ban van mintgroene nagellak, dus ook ik. Helaas lijken mijn flesjes geen van allen op Chanel Jade.
Op de eerste foto zie je Eyeko Vintage Polish. Een erg mooie crème kleur, die meer naar blauw neigt dan naar groen. Op sommige plekken dekte de lak na 3 lagen niet goed, waardoor ik uiteindelijk voor een vierde laag ging, wat weer resulteerde in hobbels en bobbels.
Vervolgens besloot ik om een laagje Herôme WIC-Mykonos toe te voegen. WOW! Dit is het!Perfectie! Mykonos is een transparante, licht mintgroene shimmer, die lijkt te zijn gemaakt voor deze combinatie!Eindelijk. Binnenkort probeer ik 'm ook uit met Essie Mint Candy Apple!
Ik moet wel zeggen dat ik me niet op m'n gemak voel bij mintgroene nagellak in de winter. Ik voel me net alsof ik een witte linnen broek draag in de sneeuw, LOL! Deze combo moet dus nog geduldig 2-3 maanden wachten.

Lately, everyone is obsessed with minty green nailpolish, and so am I. Unfortunately, none of my bottles look like Chanel Jade.
On the first pic you see Eyeko Vintage Polish. A very beautiful creme colour, that's more like a blue than a green. On some parts the polish didn't cover my nails after 3 coats, which made me apply a fourth one, which resulted in a bumpy finish.
Than I decided to add a coat of Herôme WIC-Mykonos. WOW! This is it, perfection!
Mykonos is a transparant, light minty green shimmer polish, that seems to be made for this combination! Finally. Soon I'll also try it out in combination with Essie Mint Candy Apple!
I do have to say I don't feel very comfortable wearing minty green polish in the winter. It feels as if I'm wearing a pair of white linen trousers in the snow, LOL! So, this combo has to wait patiently for another 2-3 months.
