Swatches: American Nails - Must Have! Trendlook Frühling 2011

Its the first sign of Spring - the first trend look is now on the market and available! It comes from American Nails, which is, you readers know, one of my favourite brands, is named *Must Have!* and comes with 3 new nail polish colours:

American Nails - Nail Polish # 681 Very Nature

The names fits perfect - Very Nature is a basic shade, a 100% business wearable, sheer Champagne with a touch of Glitz. This tiny tiny Glitz particles adds the highlights without looking boring. No matter if you wear a business costume or the *Little Black Dress* - Very Nature will always match...

American Nails - Nagellack # 683 Smokey Eyes

Smokey Eyes could be on my favourite list - creamy, not too bright, not boring, opaque, quick drying - so everything a nail polish should be! I like within the shade the hint of Blue, so it doesn't look *mousy*!

American Nails - Nagellck #686 Mystic

This is no doubt the highlight of the look - Mystic. The name alone makes curious, but you have to see yourself, what it is: inspired of the *Non-Colours* all over the runways since a while is Mystic a. a worthy heir of all shades of Taupe and b. a PERFECT and I REALLY mean a perfect alternate to the CHANEL shade Paradoxal with its high quality!

I mean, the most interesting thing is the subtle Violet shimmer - you can see it in direct light, but in the twilight it just let the shade looking gorgeous without anybody can see and say exactly, why it looks like so pretty! And I like this playing on colours!


What are you saying - is there a *Must Have!* for you in the collection?

SPARITUAL - Spring 2011 *Truth*

Now its time to have a look into one of the next Spring looks - today I show you four of the colours from SPARITUAL, which are actually in the mini set. This set is in stock and can already be ordered!

All swatches of the look are made with Base Coat Lacquer Lock and Top Coat Toute De Suite (coming soon) - two great polishes for perfect and fast dry results!!

SPARITUAL - Face Of Destiny

Face Of Destiny is a warm, beautiful, creamy, muted Apricot. What I like on it - its not too yellowish and flatters every skin shade! Here applied in two coats...

SPARITUAL - Eye Of The Beholder

Eye Of The Beholder is a sensational, exciting, bright Apple Green, but I have to say also the most tricky to apply one! Please note - polish with a light hand, which means don't press the brush to strong on the nail, because if you do this you will remove partially the layers underneath. And take care, that starting on the second layer there is enough polish on the brush. Polish with long strokes from side to side, not like normally recommended tip - middle - side - side... Here you see three coats!

SPARITUAL - Enlightened Soul

Enlightened Soul is a sunny, bright Yellow - no issues to apply, here - two layers!

SPARITUAL - Knowledge Is Power

Knowledge Is Power - a beautiful, bright, neon Pink (you can see it when its drying: its matte without/before application of Top Coat!) and pop ups intensely! In the picture with two coats!

So I like the look - this four shades show you Spring is coming closer and for SPARITUAL really unusual! A great trend look! How do you like them?
