Isadora Moroccan Blue

Hello ladies and gents,

As I am still in my dusty polish phase I thought I'd show you this gorgeous blue Isadora polish I got the other day: Moroccan blue.

Not much to say about this beauty apart from the fact that it's formula is great and I really like it's color, a muted dusty teal-ish blue.

I applied two coats and no topcoat.

Up until yesterday I was using my trusty Sony Ericsson phone to take all the pictures posted on my blog. Alas my phone died and I got an iphone 4 to replace it but I'm not too happy about the pictures it takes: too dark and not color accurate... I need to find a better solution.


Thanks for reading and have a nice day :)

Isadora's Ashes To Ashes

Hi lacquered ladies,

Having a nice weekend? I hope so :)

Today I have an Isadora polish to show you: Ashes to ashes, a dusty medium gray-ish purple.

I know my pictures make this polish look über gray, but believe me, it's purple based. I posted a couple of pictures comparing it to 2 other purple polishes and a gray t-shirt so you can judge for yourself.

Isadora is a Sweedish company that makes some pretty awesome polishes. I don't know if you will be able to find them outside of Europe, so I'm sorry if I get you drooling here if you can't find them in the States or Canada.

As much as I love the color of this polish, I hate it's name; so morbid and gloomy it almost gives me shivers.

The formula was a bit thick. I needed to add thinner before application; I hate it when that happens.

I applied this polish twice today because on my first attempt I used Sèche Vite and experienced massive shrinkage. Thanks Sèche...

The second time I used INM's Out The Door and had no problems.

Two coats were needed to reach full opacity.

What do you think of this dusty antique purple?

Thanks for reading and have a lovely Sunday :)
