I wish had a beautiful sunny day to really show off this latest offering by the awesome Picture Polish! I wanted to really capture the sparkly goodness, the amazing gleam coming off my nails is positively blinding!
One thing Picture Polish does so well is collaborations and today's coming together is with the very quirkly named Wacky Laki , here my dears is Sea Jewel.
Words or pictures for that matter cant really do this baby justice....sea green perfection!! My nails look like they are covered in...well, jewels, which is why this is so aptly named!
This polish is set in a beautiful sea green/teal base with micro silver glitter that just sparkles in whatever lighting...however in the sun...wow!
I was sold so much on the amazing Whimsy I didn't think I could love this half as much...and whilst Whimsy still holds something enchanting to me, this is veeeeery close second! Formula on this one was slightly thicker than Whimsy but so workable and awesome coverage....3 coats and you are good to go.
So with my incessant ramblings, would I recommend Sea Jewel?? hell to the yeah! Like Whimsy this polish is a perfect summer shade but will see you through all seasons, especially Christmas as it can pass for a really festive colour to...god I love it when they do that!
Hello loves, how are you all today? I love me a little Sunday action...and with action I mean swatching (dirty dirty minds! lol) Today I am going to show you the most hilariously named polishes, Hooky At The Hamlet by Hare Polish.
This polish is one I wanted for a while but passed the first stock up, then it sold right out...which made me want it even more (typical!). A great friend of mine Patty from Once Bitten Nails had a little whisper to me saying Llarowe had added inventory.....then it was mine (evil laugh!)
So HATH is a stunningly unique bright sea green jelly. There is a beautiful sky blue shimmer to this polish that cant be picked up by my little camera but trust me it is there, along with various sized white matte glitters.
Formula was a tad thick, but workable. I wish I would have layered this over a similar base colour as after 3 coats it still wasn't as opaque as I would have liked. The glitters dispersed lovely on the first coat but tended to drag towards the end of the nail on the second coat. No biggie, I just went over and dabbed a little where needed.
I do really love this polish, it is unique and super on trend as greens are everywhere right now. Its a shame I am finding that a lot of my Hares require some sort of 'work' to apply them, however they are still a brand that I get seriously excited about when I see a new release!
For goodness sake, i am having a super love affair with China Glaze at the moment. I bought the Dandy Lyin Around a couple of weeks back and have come to the conclusion that this is indeed my favourite white polish ever....for me to use it so many times in between says something. Keep Calm and Paint On is another stunner from the Avent Garden collection that has me staring at my pretty nails all day long!
It has the same formula as DLA, rather thick but workable. It has the same beautiful subtle shimmer that the white has to.
I didn't expect to love this one as much as i did, it is just perfect in all its pastel glory. I think it is a great alternative to white base, if like me you struggle to find one to compliment your skin tone, this is more softer and girly.
I only needed 2 coats for a great coverage. Dry time was a little on the slow side but damn it i don't care at all because it is just to pretty!! I also have to say how much i adore the name of this....well thank you China Glaze i will indeed keep calm and paint on!
