Picture Polish Pirouette

I won this polish in a giveaway run by Sally Magpies a while ago and have only just got round to trying it! You can read another post about it here 

It is described as a Bijou Holo and is a collaboration shade with Tenshi No Hana, a french blogger.

This polish really comes alive in the sun! Oh mama, you can see that scattered holo! Its a dusty pink and the formulations is AAMAZING!
I apologize that the pics are not to my usual standard. We have a poorly little boy.

Please note I found it hard to photograph this. The picture MOST true to the shade is the bottle pic!

I could have worn this as a one coater if I was in a rush and its sooo smooth! Theres NO glitter! Also it was quite shiny without a topcoat. My pictures show it without topcoat (except for the artwork nail).

I didn't think I would like this as its pink and a tad girly but I really love it!

If you are in the UK you can purchase it from Sally Magpies or there are various other stockist available, you can check them HERE 

Essie Peacock

 Its our three year wedding anniversary next week and my lovely hubby bought me some very gorgeous Essie and OPI polishes from +Fragrance Direct 

Here Is Essie's Bikini So Teeny a stunning shimmering bluey grey type purple ha ha. This is the bottle I'm holding in the pic, 

Mojito Madness is the yummy green. This had a fantastic consistancy and was opaque in two very thin coats. 

and the pink is Cascade Cool. A dusky, pastel pink.

All the Essie polishes have, of course, a fantastic formula and colour coverage. 

The shimmer in Bikini So Teeny really catches the light and sets this polish apart from the few other pastel blues I own.

I used stamping plate BM-212 and used a dotting tool to fill in the centres. 

I have never met a Essie, that i didn't like :)

Love Nailz Indie Polish Swatches, Welcome To Glitter Heaven :)

This week the lovely Louise has sent me a whole bunch of beautiful glitters to swatch. 

Love Nailz is based in Canada and specialises in solvent resistant glitter and Indie polishes.

As you can probably tell i am in love with indie polishes at the mo, these glitters are literally insane! There is no way you would get this type of coverage or colour from a high street brand. 

First thing i would like to mention is that the brushes on here are fantastic. They are wider, think OPI. This enables the glitter to be picked up a lot better. It also enables a better coverage with less drag. I love a good brush :P

Here is the first of five, Edgy Princess. A clear base with pastel and iridescent glitter with black shards. So its very twinkly but also striking. 

I wanted to show it over a mix of colours so here's some multi coloured swatch backgrounds. 

This is two coats, no topcoat.

Here's a close up 

And a bottle close up 

 

 Applies really well. Looks fantastic, need i say more?!

Next up is Sunglasses At Night. This has neon hexes and mini rose hexes suspended in a translucent  lime green base. 

As this has a tinted base i decided to just show it over a white base. 

This is two coats. No topcoat.

And a close up...

Bottle...

 

This is beautiful as the green is a really nice green and was surprisingly streak free in one coat, so if you wanted just a subtle hint one coat would work too. 

I love the glitter placement of this. I didn't manually place any of these glitter featured today.

Here is Speckled Zap. This is a black, blue,silver and pink (although I see it as more red) glitter with holo strands. The base is a  translucent white/grey/blue. To me looks a bit like PVA glue colour :P

As above, I have chosen to show this over just a white as the base is tinted. 

Here is two coats. No topcoat.

 Close up...

And you've guessed it....

 

This just reminded me so much of a gobstopper! Its nearly as yummy, although please don't eat it ;p

Again the coverage was really fab and the glitter is well distributed so there is no messing around trying to get it even. 

This is Tropical Fruit Punch, Multi coloured hex's, squares and shards. The base is clear although the bright glitter as tinted the base slightly. This is common in neon indie polishes and does NOT mean it is an inferior product. 

Here it is over a few different colours, two coats. No topcoat.

 Two finger close up...

Here is the bottle close up, for some reason my silly compoooter wouldn't let me rotate it!

This is definitely a tropical themed polish. I love all the different colours and again it is jammed packed with glitter. 

Last but by no means least is Gotta Wear Shade. A beautiful neon hex glitter, in pink, green and holo silver. Jam packed into a clear base.

Two coats over a range of colours

Excuse the little finger. I thought it was dry...

Close up 

 

 Bottle shot

 

 This was the hardest glitter to place I think, I still didn't manually place these though.I think its because all the glitter is the same size. This would be an ideal glitter for manual placement in nail art.

Okay so there is some serious swatch spam! 

Every time I put on a new glitter i decided it was my favorite! 

I think though it is either Speckled Zap or Edgy Princess or Sunglasses At Night.... Oh i don't know!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE. 

Glitter is so on trend right now and i am so glad to have these in my collection. I can see these coming out a lot this year :)

All these polishes are 3 Free and Cruelty free. 

These are available to purchase HERE. International shipping available. YAY!
