Now, any of you longing for those regular updates, go to your instagram app and follow alizarine.se. It will contain circa 95-98 % nail polish related material, in contrast to my private insta account (which is 60 % politics and bullshit, 30 % kitteh, and only about 10 % nail shizzle).</div>

It has come to my attention that Swedish cosmetic company <b>Invima</b>, owner of brand <b>IsaDora</b>, uses questionable business practices - to say the least. Just take a look at this facsimile from the internet edition of daily <i>Sydsvenskan</i>:</div>

Google translate may not have been kind on the tricksy Swedish language, but I hope it still comes out clear: Invima treats their employees like shit. In an attempt to avoid regulated employer responsibility, they fired the vast majority of their factory workers, and brought in a staffing company. This company in turn, threatens its employees both verbally and physically.<br />
<br />
I think it's obvious: for me as a union woman this is unacceptable. Therefore I will no longer feature IsaDora on this blog. Neither will I buy any of their products. This will last until there is proof that Invima act according to Swedish laws and applicable collective agreements.<br />
<br />
I'm also fully aware that this once great blog has diminished quite massively, but I hope to be able to spread the word enough for others to pick up and pay it forward - after all, this is about basic human rights: to be able to go to work and earn your living without fear of threats and retaliation, and their possible realization. It's a call to arms for workers' rights.<br />
<br />
Until further notice, the boycott is on.<br />

And if you wonder why I'm silent: I got too much to do. I rarely have any decent time off, that I don't use for absolutely nothing. I got a new temporary job, doing my political and union stuff, and on top of that I'm a single mom at somewhere around 95 % of the time. But I'll be better. I promise. At least I'm happy.Feline Flodinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16349529621301254822noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397170000804975647.post-61725329146629909332014-04-24T20:12:00.004+02:002014-04-24T20:12:35.980+02:00OPI Sheer Tints<br />

I love jellies and sheer colored polishes for layering. Remember the <i>Sorbet</i> part of the <i>Texas</i> collection? The colors weren't all that daring, but they became staples for many fans of so called sandwiches, layered manicures with glitter somewhere in the middle.<br />
<br />
Now <b>OPI</b> has given us <i>Sheer Tints</i>, and yes, they're sheer. They are colored topcoats, resembling the finish that some of us refer to as water, but thicker in consistency, and they only hint the pigmentation in one coat. They build up though, and below you can see how they develop from coats one to four.<br />

The shades are a bit more diverse than those of the Sorbet collection, with the teal <i>I Can Teal You Like Me</i>, and the yellow toned <i>I'm Never Amberrassed</i> as the slightly less conventional addition to the purple <i>Don't Violet Me Down</i>, and the pink <i>Be Magentale With Me</i>.<br />
<br />
The latter got tried out in the manicure below.<br />

This is <i>If You Moust, You Moust</i> fom the <i>Minnie Mouse</i> collection of 2012, and <i>Crown Me Already!</i> from <i>Miss Universe</i> 2011, with Be Magentale With Me over the pink, in a center-linear gradient. I initially tried the same design over the glitter, but couldn't get it even enough to look good. It worked better for me applied over the creme, but it could just have been my own lack of patience.<br />
<br />
Here's a closeup of one of my thumbs, that shows the gradient more.<br />

<br />
The downside to these, in my opinion, is that the consistency is too thick, even for a topcoat. In the formula I received, bubbles easily occur (which is fairly obvious judging from my sticks a couple of photos up from here). However, this can of course be fixed with some thinner, once there's space enough in the bottle.<br />
<br />

The last couple of years, the soft shades collection haven't been as soft as they used to be, and this year is no exception.<br />
<br />

Eight shades, of which three are classic soft shades, two are more or less duochrome definite not-softs, and three topping glitters:<br />

<br />
Clockwise from top left: <i>Miss Piggy's Big number</i> (blue metallic with the tiniest shift), <i>I Love Applause</i> (pastel pink creme), <i>Int'l Crime Caper</i> (sheer white with pink flash and light blue flecks), <i>Chillin' Like A Villain</i> (peach pastel creme), <i>Gaining Mole-mentum</i> (pink and gold glitter shards), <i>Let's Do Anything We Want!</i> (white and pink glitters with small and large white square glitter), <i>Muppets World Tour</i> (white and gold glitter, silver micro glitter, with larger magenta, blue and champagne pink hex glitters), <i>Kermit Me To Speak</i> (purple to golden green duochrome shimmer).<br />
<br />
Believe it or not, the first one to get tried out was Int'l Crime Caper, because it's interesting enough for a sheer. Below is three coats:<br />

It's a shitty photo, but imagine the pink flash stronger, and the blue flecks a little more vivid and reflective. There's still visible nail line enough to scare those of you who dread it, for which I'd suggest some undies. I'd say this is the nicest conservative sheer I have, so don't miss out on it if you're into that kind of thing.<br />
<br />
Quick note on the duochrome Kermit Me To Speak: personally I own more than a handful of polishes with this pigment, from OPI's very own catalogue <i>Amethyst Abyss</i> comes to mind, so if you have that (chances getting smaller for each day since it's ooold), or perhaps <b>Nubar</b> <i>Purple Beach</i>, maybe your need for this one isn't as huge as you'd first think. Though, perhaps Kermit Me To Speak is a tad less green and run more between purple and gold, predominantly. If you'd like a comparison, let me know and I could probably manage.Feline Flodinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16349529621301254822noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397170000804975647.post-26922964617451842132014-02-18T15:38:00.000+01:002014-02-18T15:38:21.089+01:00Nail vinyls - custom made!A while ago we got word that a Finnish company started making custom nail vinyls. I of course had to try out their online "nail studio", where you can adjust backdrop color and add elements, such as images from your own hard drive, to make my own design. Tuomas at <b>Inni</b> kindly sent me my own design for review.

I made this pretty design with the dancing day of the dead like image I once found somewhere on the dear ol' 'net.<br />

As you can see, if my nails had been longer, I would have had more of the french like style the full vinyl stickers opted for, but it is what it is, and this way the design covered my entire nails instead.<br />
<br />
The vinyl stickers were easy to apply, as usual with the sometimes slight difficulty of filing them off neatly, but personally I solved this by leaving a tiny bit of an edge and wrap my tips with it, then filing the edges off. Unfortunately, my nails are rather curved, and no matter how I stretch (but gently to not stretch the image out of proportions), I always end up with the little pockets along the cuticles. For anyone with a less curved nail, these probably work out just fine.<br />
<br />

Though disputable whether all of these colors are really pastels, they are kind of soft in tone. At least the ones I tried quick stick swatches of. Here are my picks from the collection, clockwise from top:<br />

<br />
2100 <i>Sweet Candy</i> (lilac with very subtle pearlescent shimmer), 2098 <i>Sweet Mint</i> (pale minty green), 2097 <i>Sweet Jelly</i> (spring green with small iridescent glitters), 2094 <i>Sweet Sour</i> (pale yellow with small iridescent glitters), 2095 <i>Sweet Bubble</i> (pale, cool pink), and 2093 <i>Sweet Sugar</i> (white with very subtle pearlescent shimmer).<br />
<br />
Three from this collection have the little iridescent glitters to keep them interesting, and apart from the above two, it's also present in a caramel colored shade that I would probably never wear even at gunpoint. Except for these, all have some sort of shimmer that isn't really apparent because of the texture. They're soft and sweet, but not necessarily interesting in themselves.<br />
<br />
As usual when Depend releases specialty collections, these come with a bigger price tag than the standard spring and fall collections. At SEK 39:-, these 5 ml per bottle have a high unit price.

Sweden is dark and wintery. Not a lot of opportunities to use the camera (if you're a chronic lightbox antagonist).

Completely amazeballs. Other words fail me when I look back at this. Except maybe that it was painted over black and I do believe it was two coats of glitter. I have to pull this one out again sometime soon.<br />

I didn't like this at first in the bottle, it looked like it was going to be frosty - but then I needed that cool toned dark chocolate color. And as long as you handle the brush carefully, it ends up nice, and no, it isn't frosty. It reminded me of the <b>Misa</b> classic <i>Earthward</i>, but while that one really was frosty, this is like an improved version, needed now in a time when all nail peeps, me included, are way more sensitive to even the slightest hint of frostiness.<br />
<br />

The base color here is Sephora Full Moon Party, and the added glitter on index and pinky is one from Gabrini. So is also the dots in the leopard pattern, but it looked odd and not contrasting enough on top of the Sephora, so I dotted some OPI Goldeneye underneath it.<br />
<br />
All in all rather nice despite my continuing clumsiness with the brush, adding the black bits.

Holo and multichrome. Everything a girl needs! I wish I had managed a better shot of the straight angle colors in the shade, but sadly, no sun often equals way too blurry. I hope you'll like it anyway.<br />

Hmm, yeah, it was a rather dark day that one, and yes, my All Sparkly And Gold manicure may look a bit different compared to other ones you've seen, 'cause I just skipped the topcoat. It surely is meant to be worn glossy, but I soon found that without topcoat it's much like any good textured polish. And it still sparkles! At least just as much as any other texture finish. And I quite liked it this way. Antique gold glitter texture... Very nice.Feline Flodinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16349529621301254822noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397170000804975647.post-4019084188857374362013-11-26T14:49:00.000+01:002013-11-26T14:49:36.678+01:00OPI Brazil in dotsSo the new <b>OPI</b> collections landed in Swedish press hands the other day, and who am I to keep myself from wearing them? I have already tried out a bunch from the <i>Brazil</i> spring and summer collection, by doing the little dotted skitlettes I love wearing so much. As per usual, light has now partially escaped Sweden, and shooting in low autumnal lighting conditions isn't exactly favorable, but better than nothing, right?<br />
<br />
Let's first look at the manicure I'm wearing today. I have <i>I Just Can't Cope-acabana</i> and <i>Live, Love, Carnaval</i> on.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ1Mdh3Qbe5mPiGYBPhyphenhyphenedZ-OZWMAGPRRXI7eP0ct-hh4AzLRXE7FodtevEQwMEwcElDrGkC4Hrmhl1tYeVqD0_qKlR8t4XZ3CIAuFDxpQ1CRrY1ZExolAEt27ww2idZsv2mZFSS6nO2I/s1600/brazildot1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ1Mdh3Qbe5mPiGYBPhyphenhyphenedZ-OZWMAGPRRXI7eP0ct-hh4AzLRXE7FodtevEQwMEwcElDrGkC4Hrmhl1tYeVqD0_qKlR8t4XZ3CIAuFDxpQ1CRrY1ZExolAEt27ww2idZsv2mZFSS6nO2I/s400/brazildot1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I Just Can't Cope-acabana is a taxi cab yellow creme, and Live, Love, Carnaval is a reddish coral creme - my camera hates red hues and here it looks more orange than it is in reality.<br />
<br />
<br />
And here's a monstrosity of topcoat bleeding: <i>Red Hot Rio</i>, <i>Don't Bossa Nova Me Around</i> and <i>Taupe-less Beach</i>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizyjX4K_hqQ37QSINHSY_0XZOzaby3t39KkK1XOPz_xj1Yu4pLBoNBznrC11Vx5YmMZs0W_qMKc_pHOMzjxBK38hdh50sQEtYSBfAvgs17LexW6HnaTWSTAtpEPQdnV3S0QxqITRf2Y9s/s1600/brazildot2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizyjX4K_hqQ37QSINHSY_0XZOzaby3t39KkK1XOPz_xj1Yu4pLBoNBznrC11Vx5YmMZs0W_qMKc_pHOMzjxBK38hdh50sQEtYSBfAvgs17LexW6HnaTWSTAtpEPQdnV3S0QxqITRf2Y9s/s400/brazildot2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Red Hot Rio is a warm red jelly-ish creme - this is three coats. Don't Bossa Nova Me Around is a beige-pink creme, slightly chalky. OPI describes it as a nude, but I can't really see who this is going to look nude-ish on. Taupe-less Beach is ...well, a taupe creme. And yes, the Re Hot Rio dots bled lots when topcoating, like reds tend to do. It looked better in reality though, just not very macro photogenique.<br />
<br />
There, five colors from the Brazil collection in two photos. And now for some quick notes on the collection as a whole, despite not being presented in this post. There's mainly one reason for my choices of usage, namely that this collection is like many OPI collections have been recently: a bunch of colors that match together, but just aren't that interesting separately. I did the same with the Euro Centrale collection, though the colors in that one were a wee bit better individually. There are little color groups that match very nicely like this, using dots that blend them, but I would probably die from boredom if I wore for example Taupe-less Beach by itself. Mostly because there's nothing really new about them. And, only one shade in this collection is a shimmer, the rest are cremes. Taupe cremes, brown cremes, yellow, coral, orange... Summer staples mixed with subdued basic colors. But nothing revolutionary.<br />
<br />
This aside, I'll probably use most. So stay tuned for more.Feline Flodinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16349529621301254822noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397170000804975647.post-46666693924066200612013-11-13T17:35:00.002+01:002013-11-13T17:35:34.905+01:00A Fabulous SpellWhile it's still some kind of fall up here in the northern hemisphere: check out this wonderful layering combination.

Still, I made one while I was wearing a pink polish. But there are pinks, and then, there are pinks... And whites that are a bit more than just whites.<br />

This is <b>Essie</b> <i>Shake Your $$ Maker</i> with some random white in the form of dotted flowers. As per usual with pond manicures, the flower dots were added in between layers. I thought one of Essies summer neon jellies was going to be perfect for this, since it's recommended they are put over white for extra pop effect, but damn... The formula on this one sucks. I mean really. First coat is okay, but each added coat just makes application more hellish. And neons really need building up.<br />
