Hello loviles happy sauperbowl sunday to you all!! i am here tonight with a long awaited post. I have some very very pretty polishes from Daily Lacquer to show you. I have been absolutely itching to try some of these polishes, which are made by the very lovely and talented Maggy. She was kind enough to send me these for review. So this may be a long post but hopefully it will be worth it.
So i don't repeat...all of these applied easily..absolutely no fishing required for the glitters. Dry time was excellent. I used 3 coats of each except come what may and moon kitty.
First up is Minako. This is from the sailor moon collection i believe. This is something i would not usually go mad over but this this polish has a little something else to it...the colour is a beautiful light peach colour with tiny gold micro glitters, small blue hex glitters, larger red hex glitters, red bar glitter and red hearts and moon glitter. I chose to layer this over jesses girl all things girly as this is a little sheer so i would recommend layering it. I really loved this colour much more than i thought i would..it is pretty and feminine...right up my street.
Next we have Ill Fly Away...my absolute favourite of the collection! I actually ooohhed and ahhhhed when i set eyes on this! It is THE most stunning sky blue base with pretty small baby pink hex glitter, pink hearts and silver flower shapes. I adored this so much...beatifulness in a bottle. Again this is a little on the sheer side so i layered it over NO7 minty fresh. Perfection.
Now we have Come What May. For goodness sake this is just beautiful!! I adore a Gray polish and let me tell you this will be one of my favourite greys ever!! This is a medium grey with fuchsia glitter and precious hearts in there. The glitter coverage was fantastic to...and i used no undies for this one...and my pics are only 2 coats!! Super well done to Maggy as we need more pretty greys in the world and this is defo one of them!!
Moon Kitty is a complex polish which is another that requires no undies..another 2 coater. MK is a deep vibrant purple with holographic glitters in the base, small and medium silver hex glitters, diamond shaped glitters, stars and moons. My camera had a hard time picking up all the deliciousness going on here. This really comes alive with a topcoat. Another winner in my book!
And last but not least is the surprise of the bunch, satine. This is so much more special on the nail than in the bottle...it actually took my breath away a bit! Set in a blackened grayish base is the strongest holo ever! This was enough to make me love it to be honest, it is so much more stronger than my camera can pick up...but trust me its there! Then Maggy goes and throws in some Holographic diamonds into the mix an turns this polish from a beautiful holo polish to something so much more...its fun and interesting and i bloody love it!! I also didn't need any undies for this one either!
So there you have it...5 beauties i hope to have shown in the best glory i can with a small camera and not daylight! You simply must check out daily lacquers here or visit Maggy on FB here. Not only does Maggy make some seriously beautiful polishes she is a truly lovely lady with 1st class customer service!
Hello lovelies. Christmas is fast approaching, i hope you guys are all almost sorted with holiday food done and the pressies! My weekend has been a whirlwind of hospital visits and errands. My lovely friend Inky told me to take care of myself to, and the way i do it is through polish, so i squeezed a cheeky swatch for you guys. Here is the sublime Snow Way by Kb shimmer.
As soon as i saw this way back before they were even released i knew this one would be mine..it looked amazing back then and its bloody amazing in the flesh! SW is without a doubt one of the most unique polishes i own, with a real genuine Christmas feel to it.
Snow way is made up in a beautiful light sky blue jelly base with matte white large hex glitter and tiny white glitter! The glitters really do look like a beautiful snowy scene...just perfection in a bottle!! Application was easy...all be it, this polish it quite thick with everything that is going on in it but it was surprisingly easy to work with. I would definitely recommend layering this...i'm thinking over a white. I used 3 coats for the shots. xxxx
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.
I am one lucky Mimi!! I have had some AWESOME nail mail today...3 polishes i am going to show you right now are by the amazing sisters, Jenn, Lacey an Lexi at F4 Polish. I am proud as punch they liked my previous review (click here to view) so they very kindly sent me 3 more pretties. Brace yourself...here we go.
First up is Rockefeller. My my my, what is there to say about this?! It is a heap of beautifulness in a bottle...glitters that remind me of a snowy Christmas day! I love this polish so much purely because it is not your average white glitter that many brands churn out this time of year, it is so versatile, the layering possibilities are endless and would truly look fantastic over pretty much any colour! Rockefeller is made up in a clear base, packed in there are medium sized white and off white matte glitters, small matte square and hex glitters and a pretty scattering of holographic glitters. I chose to layer this over China Glaze Aquadelic..perfecto! This was 2 coats...application excellent..formula excellent!
Now we have Times Square Holiday. These polishes are to die for they really are, TSH is a real festive treat for your nails...i look at this polish and just imagine a beautiful huge Christmas tree decorated with pretty lights! I think this is a definite winner for the girls at F4, kudos for making such a beautiful festive polish!! TSH is a beautiful red and green glitter base with the most amazing black and white shards of glitter....i think there is some holo shards in there to!! This is one interesting polish for sure. I used 2 coats of TSH over China Glaze Westside Warrior...application again was superb!
Last but in absolutely no means least is Who-ville....what a FANTASTIC name...god i love it just for that! The Grinch is my daughters favourite Christmas film and as soon as i saw the name of this it just conjured up images of that very misunderstood Grinch...standing there looking all mean...awww i love it! The polish fits the name perfectly....! I could have only ever have layered this over a grinchy green colour...i wasn't sure it would work, and i so wanted to do the girls proud....but instincts prevailed and wow what a combo!! Who-ville is another that is made up in a clear base. I adore the neon green glitters and the red matte glitters compliment each other perfectly. I chose to layer this over Misa grass is greener, an although i think this was PERFECT over this shade, this is another one that is so versatile you can really mix it up! This was 2 coats once again, and application A*!
I want to say thanks the girls once again for giving me the opportunity to try their polishes and show them to you, i know i am a new blogger compared to some others out there, but i hope i have done them proud. Please do have a nosey at their Etsy shop here or look them up on facebook here
I post this manicure in honour of our beautiful Leah ann Llarowes late mum, who passed 1 year ago today. Pink was her favourite colour so this is for you my dear, god bless xxxxxx
What a crappy day here in the UK, its cold, raining and windy...and to top it off my little munchkin Lucy has been poorly, so its a day off school for her. So to combat my boredom i thought i would show you a pretty, to make us all feel somewhat nicer.
Here i present to you Hare Polish, A positive. I have been lusting after this one forever to, the same as Bisbee and Pegasus...I'm getting used to this nimble finger lark when sets are released...bam, i was on it like a car bonnet an nabbed them!!
A positive is a gorgeous raspberry colour jelly polish with an insane amount of silver different sized hex glitters. I friggin adore this like you wouldn't believe.
As Bisbees sister polish from the same collection, the formula is as i expected it to be, thick! this was no surprise to me as Hare Polish seems to be going through a 'thick phase.' The glitters didn't misbehave as much as they did in Bisbee which was a nice surprise as i had resigned myself that they were going to be the same...hmm i wonder what Pegasus will be like..note to Mimi..try this one soon (too many polish and not enough fingers!)
Overall i loved this...a winner for me. The colour was pretty as pretty can be...very 'Hare' formula could be better...but nothing a touch of thinner cant help. A Positive is an amazing polish.....its still available on Llarowe so snap it right up!
Hi my lovelies. So, today is a pretty crappy day here in the UK, it is gale force winds outside and has been dark sense 2pm here...which made me worry about being able to photograph Bisbee for you...until i bought out my light box...i annoyed with myself for not using this as much as i should because the pictures turned out wicked!
So today as i say, i have Bisbee for you. I'm sure any nail enthusiast knows how hard this polish is to come by....gold dust it is, and i was super super excited to snag one when they were restocked, and today it turned up.
Now i always promised to be honest so here goes. I LOVE it...and hate it at the same time. I adore the colour, it is amazing and i for sure don't own a dupe for this, i liked the fact the colour built up nicely. I had it pretty opaque in 3 coats...although i still have a slight VNL...but i just couldn't face another coat. I also loved the mix of glitters used, they really compliment the polish well...it is beautiful and very very interesting to look at and the more i look at it the more i love it.....but.....
I have to say the glitters were a complete pain in the ass to control on this one. They just didn't lay as flush to the nail as i like, and after 3 good coats i just didn't feel i could apply anymore for fear it would look far to thick on the nail. When the polish was dry(ish) i was still lightly patting the sticky out glitters down. I could imagine this would be a real challenge for a newbie to apply, thankfully i have the experience and tools to make this work.
After i applied 2 coats of my trusty seche vite it made a world of difference to the overall look and i fell in love head first, as you can see it really is stunning. I'm not saying the issue i had is true of all of the bottles...i may have just got a duff one...but i will soon find out as when Llarowe restocked the other day i got another bottle for reserves as you can never usually get it easily. I love Hare polish, and will continue to love her polishes and for all the effort to apply this, i adore it enough for it all to be worth it!
