Sweden Polish- ISA DORA

Hello Tadpoles, 
I have completed my manicure with nail polish that my Polish Swapping friend, Anja Andersson sent me.



  This is a jelly polish with layers of small silver glitter and large octagon glitter, suspended in a navy blue base.
BEAUTIFUL is an understatement.  Here is a close up of Polar Nights.


  I applied two coats of  Polar Nights. 


  I can't tell you how much I love this polish. Did I tell you that this is a long wearing polish? I was able to wear it for a week with minimal wearing.
  I checked out the Isa Dora site here. And unfortunately, it is discontinued. So the only way for me to get another bottle, is to have Anja find me one. But I am sure that she had a tough time finding this for me. I can tell you that I will be using this only on special occasions.
   I hope that you enjoyed this awesome polish and have enjoyed my pictures. 

XOXOXOXO
Chrisie

Polish from my Facebook group, Polish Swapping Sisters

Hello Tadpoles,
   I am so in love with one of the many facebook groups, Polish Swapping Sisters. I was paired up with a lovely lady from Hamburgsund, Sweden. That Lovely Lady is Ms. Anja Andersson. Part of the fun in this group is getting to know each over person. We had to complete a questionnaire about our likes and dislikes. You have to send your Swapping Sister a package that you put together. It has to be mailed out by the 10th of the month but no later than the 15th. There is a 2 bottle or $10.00 minimum and no maximum.   
   Once I got my swapping sister's name, I was so excited. I started chatting with Anja. There was a time difference from Sweden and South Carolina. I learned that we both had some language difference. But we worked through it fast. 
   I received my green package as Anja stated on January 16, 2013. The Green package actually was Green and she mailed it on January 10, 2013. So snail mail seemed to be fast this time.


  
   I was so excited when I received Anja lovely green package. I can truly tell you that it took me and my mom to open the package.This is what I found in the package.



Anja, wrapped all the items so that they made it to me safely. And they did. She included a handwritten note that explained everything that she sent.
  

Ok, as I was opening each candy item, Mom would say, "Oh, I know that you are going to share that candy". We started with the Bjobnar boxes, Sota, Salta, and Sura. I love the Sota (Sweet) and Sura (Sour). The Salta was a total no go. It is suppose to be a licorice but it isn't like US licorice. It is extremely salty. So I can so that it will be given away.  Anja said the the Marabou Mjolk choklad, is the best chocolate in the world. Mom and I totally agree. It is a smooth sweet chocolate. It just melted in your mouth. I thought that it was made by Kraft. I am going to try and see if I can find it in the US.


   Anja included 3 polishes and a pretty pink lip gloss. I love the Polishes. She sent me 2 Isa Dora polishes. The 750-Polar Night is an awesome dark blue with glitter. Oh, I can't wait to post that wait to post that manicure. And the other Isa Dora is 633-Violet Vain. It is a beautiful purple polish. These polishes are long lasting. The mini bottle is a Viva la Diva. It is a soft matte polish. These polishes are Sweden Polishes. 
   Anja also included a chocolate facial mask and a GlossyBox nail file. I love using the file. I can see me buying some in the future.
   So Ladies and Gents, I so enjoy all my items in the package. I would recommend that everyone should get to know other polish addict in a different part of the world. I am in another nail group that send packages to other people during their birthday month. So look keep your eyes open for more posts from my fellow nail polish addicts.
   So have a great day and keep your head up. 

XOXOXO
Chrisie
