08 is a pretty purple shimmer (aren't all purple shimmers pretty?!) with fine pink flecks and sparkles.
Ok, so it's not super unique but it's nice.
Application was good and swatches shown are 3 coats, no top coat.

Purple shimmer
Another un-named polish from Hema, this one does at least have a number, 08.

Hema Brilliant with Diamond Powder - 11
Mottled gold foil
Another un-named Hema.
Hema Brilliant with Diamond Powder - 11 is a mottled gold foil, out of the sun it looks like a dappled mix of warm, cool and rose golds. In full sunlight it flashes back as a antique gold foil.
Application was good and swatches shown are 3 coats, no top coat.
This was a bargain €3 for a generous 11ml bottle.

Hema - Glitter topper
Raspberry pink sheer glitter topper
And here's yesterday's Catrice 'Vibrant Violet' topped with a pink toned silver glitter top coat I picked up in Hema
This unnamed, un-numbered polish is a sheer raspberry pink top coat with mixed size round and shattered silver glitter. Some of the glitter looks pink but I think that's just the colour of the suspension polish
Hema is a variety store in The Netherlands, selling homeware, clothing and various other items including a small cheap beauty range.
Although the bottle looks fairly glitter heavy, that didn't translate so well to the nail and my swatches show 3 coats over the Catrice.

Hema Glitter!
Remember that great purple Hema from the other week?
Well this is it again, topped with a sheer but gorgeous purple Hema glitter
This was two coats over the purple - isn't it sparkly and fab?

Hema 08
Next up is Hema 08 (grrrggh for no names)
Shade
Sun
Bottle love
08 is a purple shimmer with fine silver pink glimmer
This is 3 coats no topcoat, application was good for a cheapie.
It's a pretty colour, especially in the sun but I don't think it's particularly unique.

Hema
This week I'd thought I'd share some of my recent-ish haul from Amsterdam, kicking off with Hema polishes.
Hema is a department store chain in the Netherlands that primarily sells cheap housewares and clothing - they're great stores and there are several just in Amsterdam. They also sell cosmetics including nail polish and of course it would be rude not to pick any up!
So here is the first one which doesn't seem to have a name. This is from the Hema Brilliant range which has Diamond Powder!
Shade
Bottle shot in an attempt to show the shimmer/glitter
I don't usually go for pale colours but something in this unusual colour called to me.
I'd describe it as lilac tinged grey/silver shimmer with gold microglitter - which is a weird combination but somehow it still works.
This is 3 coats and I still have some vnl and it looks more lumpy in the pictures than I remember it was IRL.
In my book it's a soft, pretty colour - a hybrid cousin of Zoya Harley?
