Accessorize Speckled Swatches

I purchased these from Superdrug a couple weeks ago on a 3 for 2 as i am really into glitters at the mo and I wanted to try these out.
Big apologises in advance of my TERRIBLE cuticles and side walls! Gross! No excuses, i will sort them :)

So first up is Damselfly. Here it is with 3 coats, no top coat.


 A light blue,almost turquoise with dark blue and silver glitter. This is my fave out of all three. All three polishes applied really well, i was actually surprised as i thought that with all the glitter i would get a rubbish cuticle line but in fact all these swatches had NO clean-up so that's a bonus. 


Next up is Dragonfly, also pictured with 3 coats and no top coat
 A green with blue hex's. This is my least favourite as i think this colour combination is a tad boring! 




Last up is Butterfly, you guessed it... 3 coats with no top coat.
A PVA glue style white base with red and black hex's. Loved this!

The formula was really good on all the polishes and the glitter distribution was fair too. I hate the lid on these! I have big ol' hands and its hard to use :( 
I loved the jelly type effect these had and it created depth as the glitter from the previous coats are slightly covered. 
Lovely Polishes all in all and there are a few other shades available. 
Buy from Superdrug HERE for £3.45

My Life In Lacquer, My Custom Polish!




 Today I received my own custom made indie polish by TarasTalons!!
I have been waiting by my front door for this polish and I am so happy with the result. 
I really wanted a bright glitter and I knew I wanted lots of different sizes of glitter. 
 I really like the coverage of this polish but I think it would be easier to apply with a wider brush,but Tara doesn't usually make polish with such big pieces so i cant expect her to stock a new bottle just for me :P 

This has a FANTASTIC amount of glitter in and this is only ONE slightly thicker coat of polish!

 I did want the base clear but the pink neon hex glitter did turn the suspension base slightly pink, Although i actually really like the base colour and i cant see it makes a huge noticeable difference:P

 I wanted to show the glitter over black and white and over a few differnt colours and I just love them all! 
It would work really well as just a feature nail or even as a whole mani. Very summery and bright and i think this is also very on trend as i have seen a lot of neon's and glitters this year!


I chose to call this "My Life in Lacquer" as I wanted a polish and a name very personal to me and theres nothing more personal than a blog (well maybe a couple things, *wink*)



 I think my fave out of these is the blue or the green. I love an excuse to have multi coloured nails though!! 
I used Barry M Matte White and Black for the first pics 
I used Barry M Bright Purple,Lemon Ice Cream, Blueberry Ice Cream and Sinful Colors Pistache. 


All these pics have ONE thicker coat of My Life In Lacquer over 2 Coats of underneath colour. No top coat.
