Some New Swatches - NY Lover, Boho Look and Leather Effect Bordeaux

Hi! :D

You might remember my January-February haul post. You already saw my Sally Hansen Satin Glam swatches and the swatches of the polishes I got as a gift from Miriam. Today I'll be showing you some more swatches of that haul. This post has been lurking in my unpublished folder for a while now, so it's glad to finally come out!

I'm going to show you Catrice Earnie & Birdy, Maybelline NY Lover, L'Oreal Boho Look and 2B Leather Effect Bordeaux. 

 First up, Earnie & Birdy and NY Lover!

Or to be more accurate, I'm showing you Earnie & Birdy hidden behind NY Lover, because it's not a very good polish on its own :/ 

Earnie & Birdy is quite streaky even at three coats, and you definitely need three coats for decent coverage. Maybe at 4 coats the streakyness would disappear but that was too much for me.

In the pictures the streakyness isn't noticeable and in real life I suppose it's only noticeable to nail polish lovers, but it bothered me. It also chipped within 2 days so meh. Might be because I had to use thick coats for coverage.

So anyway, I did 3 coats of Earnie & Birdy (which is a pretty colour though) followed by one thick coat of NY Lover.

I had to fish for the hearts and placed them where I wanted. The glitters didn't spread out whilst applying them so I had to move them around a bit on my nail to make sure they weren't all lumped up in one place. The hearts stick out a bit and don't lie flat on your nail, so a good top coat is needed. Nonetheless, cute glitter!

Next up is Leather Effect Bordeaux. I had to get used to this polish - at first I really didn't like it. But after wearing it for a few hours I started to appreciate it and now I think it looks kind of cool.

You definitely need 3 coats of this polish, because otherwise it doesn't really look like "leather effect" but more like "Odd nail disease Effect". At 3 coats, however, it looks okay. No top coat of course, as the polish dries to a matte finish for the leather effect.

The polish has a wide but very short brush, which  makes application a bit hard.

Now, my lightbox actually makes this polish look AWFUL. It makes the bumps look bumpier and I don't know, it just looks really bad. Looking at this picture below, I would never believe I could like this polish. 

BUT: it looks a lot beter in real life! So I added a few pictures in natural lighting too after this one in my lightbox:

You can see how that's better, right?

Next up,  L'Oreal Boho Look, another glitter topper. 

Boho Look has light pink bars and small hexes, and white flowers. I did two coats on top of Gosh Miss Minty. 

I got two flowers out without fishing, but if you want more flowers some fishing is in order! They also stick out a bit so you need a good top coat to seal them in.

What do you think of these, see anything you like?

Thanks for reading! :)
