Spanish, French and German/European brands...
Apologies for the
delay in posting, dear readers, I've been away for a week in
Mallorca with my Mum for a relaxing holiday and didn't manage to post anything in the week before or create any scheduled posts

We had a lovely
relaxing week, the weather was fab, 25°C+ and lots of sunshine. We shopped, swam and generally relaxed.
I managed to fit in a little
polish shopping, we were staying in a fairly small town so there wasn't much opportunity but it did have a few of those perfume/cosmetic shops. Not an extensive range of brands, I saw OPI and Essie, but I decided to focus on brands that were new to me and some of the new
Essence polishes as Essence isn't available in the UK :-(
I'm not sure if these are called
LOOK or
OK or something else entirely! They're made by a company called
Impacto Cosmetics based in Valencia. The bottles are 12ml. And that's about all the info I can make out from the tiny, tiny print on the bottle.
Two luscious green toned polishes from
Rare and
Lola . The Rare bottle is 10ml and the Lola 11ml. These two brands are both based in
Madrid, Spain but the polish is made in
France.
And lastly the
Essences I picked up. Unfortunately we were severely restricted on weight with our (shared) suitcase so I couldn't pick up as many of these as I would've liked...
I quite like the new bottles, they're pleasantly stubby and chunky. I do hope they haven't mucked about with the brush though.
And on the right is
Essences take on the double-ended layering polishes called
Nail Colour³. I chose Midnight Date/City That Never Sleeps as CTNS looks like an interesting glittery/flakey purple/green combo.
Smallish but hopefully interesting haul. Looking forward to swatching these soon as my ring finger nail is finally growing back, all my treatments and a week in the sun seem to have done the trick!
