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.

Etos Effect Nails - 905 Blue Holo
Blue holo
Not much time tonight as I need to go and vote! So remember that Dutch drugstore purple holo I showed a couple of weeks ago?
Well here's its blue sister!



Again application was good and this swatch is 2 coats with no topcoat.
Like the purple one the holo effect isn't OTT but it's pretty.

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?
