Hello my sweeties! I am hoping you guys are all well and good, I know I'm feeling good today, the sun Is shining here in the UK and I've got pretty nails!
I wanted to show you Only In Hollywood by Red carpet Manicure....a brand I am really liking at the moment!
This is a super glam vibrant red that is seriously va va voom! It is made even more beautiful by the stunning micro glitter in the base....seriously lovely!!
I think my shots speak for themselves...utter loveliness even if I do say so myself! I thought these were just to nice not to add extra glam factor so I added a little gem on my ring fingers...loving this! Have an awesome weekend my friends! xxx
Twice in 2 days?! wooooooop! I promised to show you Westminster Bridge Road and I shall deliver...now brace yourselves for this one is STUNNING STUNNING STUNNING!!!! Oh my days, I love this polish so bloody much I actually cant stop staring at my nails, they are blinding!!!
WBR is the blue edition of the Galaxy collection by Nails Inc and what a polish this is. Now then yesterday I swatched Trafalgar Crescent and found the formula a little thick, so I decided to layer this over colour clubs Williamsburg. This is a beautiful navy shimmer polish...just 1 coat. Then I applied this bad boy over the top...WOW!!
The glitters compliment each other perfectly in this one and totally reminds me of a night sky...filled with shining sparkling stars. There are large and small hex silver glitters in there, with the smaller glitters being blindingly holographic....perfection!
I also preferred the formula of this one, it applied nice and evenly, much easier than TC. Now then I decided to redo my ring finger layered over 365 days of colour in waterlily.....I only used 1 coat of the TC and MAAAAAAAAN I know my combos well...these 2 were made for each other in my opinion! Simply stunning together....with much less bulkiness than trying to build the colour from scratch.
I am totally in love with both of these polishes, I am hard pressed to pick a favourite if I'm honest. I know I tend to gravitate towards the blue but I really love this colour combo with the crescent, I just cant pick! My advice to glitter lovers everywhere is rush forth and buy these beauties, they are something to behold....trust me!
Ahhhhhhhh I love me some bling, and I have found one of the ultimate blingtastic polish ever in this Sally Hansen Lady Luck. Now I know, I am behind with the times as this was released back last year I believe but I could never get them here in the UK. But yesterday on a trip to Bluewater Shopping Mall in Boots they have a whole new section devoted to nails!!! Now for the record I could have peed my pants and I do believe the heavens sang especially to me at that moment....this is my idea of Disney Land!!
To make this moment even cheerier it is 3 4 2 on their beauty and nail products so I picked me up some sally Hansen goodies! As soon as I saw Lady Luck it was in my basket...the others are sure pretty but to close to the China Glaze Eye Candy collection for my liking and I own all of them....!
Lady Luck is a reeeeeeeally beautiful polish....it looks lovely in the bottle but translates much better onto the nail. I would definitely describe the glitter as a burgundy colour (others say fuchsia but I think burgundy).
LL is set in a clear base so I would recommend selecting a similar base colour for better application. I didn't do that as to be honest it wasn't unti I prepped my nails with base coat and done the first stroke that I saw it was in a clear base. It is filled with burgundy micro and medium glitter but for me the holo hex glitters really add a different dimension to this polish!!
Now application for me....hmmmm it wasn't the best tbh....I should have layered this as I wouldn't have needed the 3 coats I used..and it is a pretty thick formula. After 3 coats I could still see small bald spots. However as I say if you layer this then these problems disappear and to get a finish like this (but even better) would be worth it! This dried uber quick with a matte like finish.....WARNING WARNING.....apply top coat at your own risk.....TC brings this baby to life...likely offering a blinding effect....man I love this with topcoat!!!
I hate to imagine what this is going to be like for removal ......but I don't care, this is just to pretty for its own good!
Hello my sweeties. Just a quick(ish) post today....to bring you Emily De Molly Black Forest. Another day another lemming of mine popping through my letter box...making Mimi a very happy polish addict indeed.
I have been wanting this polish (along with muted madness which is the other polish that arrived yesterday and fifth element which i managed to snag the other day when Llarowe restocked..ahhh happy days!) thank god for Llarowe carrying this line because myself and my sister have been drooling over our laptops for ageeees!!
BF is everything i thought it would be and more....seriously seriously stunning. Now then for those wishing to buy this i will forewarn that this is intended to be used as a top coat. I didn't realise this when i bought it and when i went to polish my nails it was very sheer. I thought to myself if i built it up to much the glitter would get lost within each other, so i decided to take off the first coat and layered it over an un named deep green.....now that's a bit of me! Wow and a million wows i LOVE it!! This just reminded me so much of the Wizard Of Oz emerald city!!
Bf has a very sheer blackened base with 2 sized hex emerald glitter and micro black glitters. Application was easy peasy on this....i used 2 coats for the pictures shown.
Ahhhhh my lovely lovely readers i am so excited to show you my pictures today an i will warn you there are a few coming up...please bear with me and my silly babbling because these babies made me foam at the mouth....after of course i picked myself up off the floor! The wonderful owner of Shimmer Polish, Cindy was lovely enough to send me 5 polishes to review...so without further ado, here goes.
First up is Katherine. This polish excited me like you wouldn't believe, one it reminds me of my beloved nan who was also called Katherine and two it is a colour she would have loved. It is delicate, beautiful and so very feminine. Even though it is stacked with glitter this is a polish one could wear every day...to work or on a night out...it is extremely versatile. Katherine is a stunning polish full of bronze, orange and a darker brown glitters. I used 3 coats for the shots. Application was a dream...dry time excellent....all round a massive thumbs up! I layered this over Nina Ultra Pro beige-a-vu
Here we have Fanny. Awwww i know i sound like a broken record but wow!! Fanny is again one of my favourites (hell, they all are!) this is a polish full of red, pink, gold, blue and purple glitters. The colours compliment each other perfectly here, i really saw the red glitters when it was on my nails...but it wasn't that evident in the bottle...a lovely surprise! I chose to layer this over Kiko 277 (which actually properly bought out the red even more).
Now we have Jasmine. Wow and a zillion wows! This polish is unreal. I always think i have found a new favourite until something else pops up...this popped up! Jasmine is a gorgeous predominately blue/teal polish with beautiful green, orange and red smaller glitter scattered throughout. I didn't expect to love this as much as i did. It is amazingly pretty...definitely a favourite of mine. I layered this over Kiko 401.
Now we have Marilyn. Ahhhh Marilyn Marilyn Marilyn. When you say that name you think dark, vampy and sexy (ala Marilyn Monroe) and this polish is exactly what she was....sexy as hell! Marilyn is a dark vampy red polish that builds up full coverage on her own, it is dark and sultry and has beautiful micro glitters dispersed throughout. I loved this polish....much less bling on this one but just as special!
Last but not least here is Tiffany. Again this was a polish that i knew i would love straight away. This is a crazy pretty polish full of light pink and light blue glitter. It is super versatile and can be worn many many ways.....i think this would look fab over a dark purple or black. I chose to layer this over OPI Do you lilac it.....and i looooove it!!! Application was beautiful as usual , i used 2 coats for these shots . A coat of seche vite made this sparkle
I will always promise my readers to give a full honest review, weather or not they have been sent to me or not. My sun of of these polishes are they are just amazing, if you don't own any Shimmer Polish then rush forth my lovlies to her etsy shop here or look her up on facebook here.
