This is a polish that's been on my wishlist, well forever. So last week when I had to order all boring stuff like thinner and refill of my top coat and so on I decided to treat myself to at least one nailpolish (I got two). Essie Van D'go
This is three coats with top coat. The formula is typical pastel-formula, thick and streaky but definitly not the worst kind so it was ok to work with. Van D'go is a really pale peach colored pastel creme, and it's pretty much whitebased which I like! I must say though, this doesn't look so great on Swedish-pale-we've-had-no-sunlight-for-three-months-skin. Inside it looks ok, but the minute you step outside and your hands get a bit red, it looks like flesh! Yuck! So this is a color that will definitly benefit from a little tan. And dear God am I in need of a tan!! I hate February!! It's possibly the worst month of the year, perhaps together with November, it's almost spring but still butt-cold and the Summer is still faaar faaar away. :(.
This mani looked a bit boring so I decided to put on some nailstickers that I won (!) at Lillasyster! Wohoo, this was the runner up price but I've never won anything before so I was so happy! And the stickers are awesome!!
I really like this combo! Looks sofisticated and a bit old school :). Sadly though, I put on a bit too much top coat and went to the gym and ended up with ten smudged nails. Boo! I was sad, cause I really would have wanted to wear this longer. Lesson learned here - don't rush!!
What do you think of Van D'go? Don't you just hate February??

Färgen ser verkligen jättefin ut!
ReplyDeleteIt's strange b/c it seems like a simple pink but it really is gorgeous and special! I love the final mani with the little flowers--so cute!
ReplyDeleteJag gillar verkligen Van D'Go! Tycker att färgen är ganska ovanlig faktiskt. Och extremt vårig och härlig! Gah, jag längtar till april!
ReplyDeleteSminkan. Ja den är riktigt snygg, men förmodligen snyggare med lite mindre bleka händer. Haha..
ReplyDeleteJennifer. I know, it's so pretty! I think this would look even more awesome on someone with a darker skintone though!
Nailtastic. Ja den är kanske lite ovanlig? Jag gillar starkt att den är så ljus! Ja herregud, nu vill jag ha vår!!
Är supertrött på februari... och redan trött på mars :) Men vad synd att jag just missade van d'go på tradera. får försöka någon annanstans! Jättefin är den.
ReplyDeleteMona. Haha, ja jag är också redan trött på Mars. Fastän den inte ens börjat. Usch :(. Jag köpte min hos Enchanted beautyspot på ebay. Rekommenderas starkt!
