Cadillacquer Echo - A Swiss nailpolish for our National Holiday 1 August

Today is the Swiss National Holiday, 1 August. In 1291 the Confederation Letter was signed and can to this day be viewed in a museum in Schwyz. Today we count 8 Million inhabitants and are one of the more densely populated countries in Europe.

What better opportunity to grab a Swiss nailpolish than on our National Holiday? Please meet Cadillacquer Echo:

I applied two coats of Cadillacquer Echo over one coat of A England Bridal Veil. The consistency is fabulous and the application was fantastic. I would consider drying time as normal. Now I ground my teeth over photographing Echo. No matter what I tried, the blue and turquoise glitter pieces just would not let themselves get photographed. IRL they were as visible as on my photos of the mattified mani below:

The above pictures is taken indoors in daylight, the below photos outdoors, the first in the sun, the second in the shade

I used one coat of A England Bridal Veil as base:

I ordered Echo with Cadillacquer's Etsy Shop but according to a note on the Shop Site Cadillacquer moved to Big Cartel. You can order Cadillacquer also with Harlow & Co and Llarowe.

It is exactly one year since I put my first post live. It was a Skittelette with the colors of our flag, red and white. Originally I wanted to post a red and white Skittelette today too and once I finished it and worked the pictures I went back to my archive and looked at my very first post - DANG - I nearly redid the same mani:

So today is sort of my first Blog Anniversary - but then I only posted twice and stopped for at least another month. I only seriously got into blogging sometime in September last year so it will always be sort of hard to define a real Anniversary for my Blog ;-)

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!
