Howdy!
I thought I'd hate this textured trend and hey, how wrong was I? I just love it - when there's glitter or shimmer in it. I am still struggling to like "plain" textured polishes. We'll see, maybe time will prove me wrong (again)!
Solitaire, however, has been somewhat of a disappointment. I saw Yun's amazing swatches and fell in love with it, immediately purchased it off eBay, cursed the wait, slapped it on my nails and... meh. It's bumpy, yeah. But it's like a bumpy-fail. Not flat enough to be a classic polish, and not textured enough to be a liquid sand. Am I feeling the downfall because Strawberry Pink was absolutely ahhh-mazing?
On to some exciting news! I have a giveaway for you today! :D I just hit 35.000 visits and I feel like celebrating, so...

M.
sun pearl looks gorge!
ResponderEliminarWhat can I say... opi. Hate it. LOL
ResponderEliminarWell I am really dying to find a gorgeous white textured polish and it is still not available. But I knew I would hate opi's anyway so I never really bothered.
One day I will find that one awesome white texture polish! I know it! And I promise to share ;-)
Congratulations on the new milestone! And I will not play in your giveaway cause you know I already get this collection, but I will share it around! This one is too awesome to miss out on!!!
Congratulations and thank you for such a great giveaway..Live and Let Die is one of my all time FAVORITE Bond movie! Jane Seymour was Solitare and she was gorgeous! (still is)...The color is not so special..but the movie and the name hold a special place in my heart..so I have to love it!
ResponderEliminarCongrats and thanks for the giveaway! I'm torn between River Green and Amable Chartreuse...but they're all lovely! I almost bought Solitaire a few weeks ago, so maybe it's good that I passed since you don't seem thrilled with it.
ResponderEliminarI think it's pretty, but I'm with ya on not liking plain textured polishes.
ResponderEliminarThey all look very pretty, though that blue in particular is amazing!
ResponderEliminarMy fav! Thanks for the giveaway
ResponderEliminarI think this polish at least photographs beautifully! I just got Vesper and can't wait to try it! And congratulations on your milestone!! I like the River Green
ResponderEliminarI think that my favorite would be Amable Chartreuse. Too bad you didn't like Solitaire. From what I have seen on swatches I think it looks gorgeous but maybe I would be disappointed like you.
ResponderEliminarJajaja ya habia empezado a escribir el comentario en inglés! Jajaa
ResponderEliminarQue lástima que no te gusto Solitaire! Yo solo lo he visto en fotos y si me gusta mucho pero no se como sea ya en vivo.
Y vaya! Felicidades por tantas visitas y que vengan más!
I'm not sure about textured polishes either-although this one is a lovely colour on you!
ResponderEliminarI wasn't sure about the textured polishes either but I tried one and was surprised how much I liked it! Don't you hate it when a polish disappoints you though? Aargh!! lol
ResponderEliminarI love the look of Chili Pepper Red, Congrats and thank you for giving us the chance to win! :D
I'm still on a fence about sand texture, too. I didn't like the Kiko sugars but I did love the P2's sands! Too bad you didn't like Solitaire on yourself, white sand seems so unique.
ResponderEliminarevery time I see Solitaire my eyes just look like that *.* that texture is just georgeous! looks so well on you... OMG, I just fell I MUST buy it for now (it's your fault). Gosh, why am I broke now? :( :< ehhh!!!
ResponderEliminarOf course I'm temped with the giveaways ;)
I think my fav is Amable Chartreuse.
EliminarThe River Green seems beautiful! I'd love to try it! :)
ResponderEliminarThanks for hosting this amazing giveaway.
ResponderEliminarThe Blue Spot is clearly my favorite, closely followed by the red and the green!
I'm not really keep on the textured polish trend, they all just make me feel 'meh'. I like my polishes to be smooth to the touch. It's a pretty colour though!
ResponderEliminarAlso thanks for the giveaway, I've just entered :)
I actually started to like the liquid sand polishes.. lol
ResponderEliminarThanks for the giveaway, I entered and I really like amable chartreuse and river green <3
I just can't get into the textured/sand polishes :/ I love the color though :)
ResponderEliminarThanks for hosting the giveaway! I really love that red color, it's fierce!
I like blue!
ResponderEliminarOf the Kikos, my favourite is River Green, it's BEAUTIFUL! Be still my beating heart!
ResponderEliminarThanks for the giveaway =)
Chili Pepper Red <3
ResponderEliminarThese look gorgeous!! My favorite is definitely River Green!
ResponderEliminarI love Blue Spot and River Green. But if I really had to pick a favourite, I'd go River Green. <3 Thank you for the giveaway!
ResponderEliminarSurprisingly, I like the look of the greens (surprising because I'm not keen on green usually).
ResponderEliminarThanks for the giveaway!
I really like the Green River
ResponderEliminarxoxo
The chartreuse is gorgeous! And thank you so much for this giveaway~
ResponderEliminarAwesome giveaway! Thanks! I love the River Green.
ResponderEliminarSorry to have led you astray, my dear! <3 I do think it looks quite awesome on you. :P Have you tried a top coat? That might help smooth over the texture and make it more likable.
ResponderEliminarThank you for the awesome giveaway! I love the two greens... so pretty! :D

Oh no! Too bad this polish was such a fail for you since the color looks great! And yeah Strawberry Pink was indeed amazing, I bought it straight after I saw your swatches ^^
ResponderEliminarThanks for the great giveaway sweety XO
Oh I forgot, my fav would be River Green ;)
EliminarI have not hopped on the textured trend yet... but this one looks nice!! Congrats on all the visits!
ResponderEliminarOh whoops, I like the chili pepper red!
ResponderEliminarAdoro el solitaire se ve genial :)
ResponderEliminarMuchas gracias por el sorteo linda, mi favorito de los 4 es el Blue Spot :)
¡Besos!
Amable Chartreuse! Beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win!
ResponderEliminarBlue Spot <3 Beautiful:)
ResponderEliminarWhen I saw for the first time a swatch of Solitaire, I immediately fell in love too. And after seeing your pics I still think it's gorgeous! Anyway, I don't think I will order it on line, I will wait the arrival of this collection in Italy, so I will see it in person and then I'll decide what to do.
ResponderEliminarBummer about Solitaire. I don't play well with goopy polishes. But, is it possible you got a bad bottle? Stranger things have happened on Ebay.
ResponderEliminarSuper giveaway!!! :) I'm now off to enter!
Have a great weekend!
I like that this isn't overtly textured and I really like the white! I'm dying for the textured milani polishes, the colors are so bright and fabulous!!! Congrats on your page views chica! Best feeling, hey? That light green is gorgeous!!!
ResponderEliminarChili Pepper Red is my favorite!
ResponderEliminarCongratulations for all you visits :)
ResponderEliminarI love Blue Spot, but Amable Chartreuse is so special!
Kisses
my favorite is river green<3
ResponderEliminarI really like Solitaire - sorry to hear that it was a disappointment for you. The photos look good though.
ResponderEliminarI would have to say Chartruese.
ResponderEliminarSorry to hear about the disappointments you faced using the polish. Really sucks when polishes aren't what we expected. Although, seeing your swatch, it sure looks like a beautiful nail polish to wear on a wedding day. Lol! I guess it's still unique being a glittery white texture polish.
ResponderEliminarThank you so much for the giveaway and HUGE congratulations on the milestone! I think Amable Chartruese is my favourite out of the four!
Such a bummer about Solitaire! It looked pretty but the formula is a huge turn off.
ResponderEliminarCongrats on 35,000+ views! Thats awesome! :) I surprisingly think that Chili Pepper Red would be my favorite
You are so going to kill me for being a pest... Can you send me the html codes for the rest of the abc challenge.... S and on? <3

ResponderEliminarChili Pepper Red looks amazing <3
ResponderEliminarthe blue color is awesome
ResponderEliminarGreatings from Germany :-D
ResponderEliminarCongratulations on hitting 35K, and thank you for the giveaway!
ResponderEliminarI had a little trouble with Solitaire too--I ended up having to do some fairly thin coats and let them dry completely before the next in order to get the right sandy texture, but once I figured it out, I loved it. Took me a couple of tries, though! >_<
Loving these Kikos--they're so bright and shimmery! I think if I had to pick, my favourite would be Amiable Chartreuse, but that teal is so gorgeous too... ^_^
This looks so gorgeous on you! I think I might need to get that one myself :P
