Pretty and Polshed Concoction, Olgite and Sidereal

I am so excited to show you these polishes the lovely Chelsea sent for me to review...they are AHHHMAZING!!  Ohhhh i wish my pictures could do these as much justice as they deserve.  I always pledged i would be honest with my reviews...even if they had been sent kindly to me....i promise you they are every bit as special in the flesh!

First up we have concoction.....and what a special concoction this one is!  I think i may have died and gone to heaven with this one.  It is a glorious purple jelly with amazing flakes that flash from blue to purple and a light dusting of holographic particles.  This applied like a dream, and with an added coat of seche vite it sparkled like crazy.  This is such a special polish and deserves the full 5 stars for amazingness!

Now  move to Sidereal.  Holy cow...this is killing me....Sideral packs a punch in all the right places.  I get excited about polish a lot this is true...but this is something else...i will properly dream about this tonight.  Sidereal is a polish set in a charcoal jelly and it is absolutely packed with the most stunning blue micro flakes and shimmer.  The combination is an epic win for Chelsea...another five star award coming up.

Last but in no way least is Olgite.  This one i have to say is a surprise...in the bottle i wasn't as excited about it as the other two...even though i am a total blue fan.  On the nail...well it is something else...it is stunning!!  I adore the colour...a colour blue that is my ideal! Olgite is a really pretty medium blue...yes that's all great but what makes this extra special is the colour changing shimmer...purple and green....wow what a combination...and damn to my camera for being able to pick up the shimmer in all its glory...i promise its there and i promise it is something to behold in the flesh.

I used 3 coats for each of the polishes...application was excellent on all of them and dry time fab! I have a real soft spot for P&P polishes, i own quite a collection...and fully intend to own more....so if you are a P&P virgin head to Chelsea's etsy shop here or follow her on facebook here

Pahlish your lover is an actress

Hey lovelies, how are you all today? i hope you are all great!  Today's instalment in my polish adventure is Pahlish...your lover is an actress.

Don't you just love receiving nail mail you had forgotten you had ordered? this one is an added bonus because it is frecking stunning!!!  This is part of the collage  of senselessness collection...which i adore!  I decided to layer this polish over Belgrave Place by nails inc....which in turn made the glitters really pop! 

YLIAA is sheer purple base with a craaaazy amount of different sized  blue, copper, purple, orange, red and teal matte glitters.  I cannot tell you how amazing these colours are together....so instead of my incessant rambling ill let my pictures do the talking.

I used 2 coats for the pictures, with a coat  of trusty seche vite.

Blue manicure for National Diabetes Day!

Hey there, i am sorry this post comes late in the day to you..its been a crazy busy day and this is the first chance i have had to post.  I also apologise for recycling my picture for this post...time really hast been on my side but i wanted to show my support for national diabetes day and to honour a very special little girl called Rae, who has shown such strength and courage in the face of being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes back in May.

So today is national diabetes day and as a show of solidarity people from all walks of life are sporting all things blue.....obviously for someone like me and my blogger friends there is no other way to show our support to help raise awareness of this condition. 

So to The beautiful Rae...honey you are a brave little girl...keep smiling, your mum Hannah is extremely proud of you.  For further information of Diabetes and how to recognise the signs please find the link here

F4 Polish Review....Mrs Duck, goof-e and Mr Mouse

Crikey i am on a roll tonight....first Shimmer Polish and now the sublime F4 Polish!!  I am honoured to be reviewing these for the lovely ladies over at F4, and i thank them sincerely for sending  me these to review.  When i opened the mail this morning and i saw these babies i knew they were going to be fun......and fun they were, from the names, which crack me up btw, to the overall finished look.  I will get on to the pics....enjoy!

First up we have Mrs Duck.  Ohhh the name makes me really chuckle, i just imagine Daisy Duck standing before me, looking all cute and fluffy...i know right...weird! This polish really did excite me on the nail much more than it did in the bottle (and it looks pretty special in the bottle to!) it is made up of beautifully pretty matte micro purple white and pink glitters and alongside that there are purple and yellow satin glitters thrown in and purple and yellow shards of glitter for added pizazz!  I chose to layer this over Essie Splash of Grenadine which i loved but i have also seen this layered over purple  and it looks amazing that way to....meaning this is a versatile polish! 

Next up we have Goof-e...again....name is class and will make you smile without a doubt.  I thank the girlies at F4 for sending me these great polishes which have conjured up a giant Disney fest in my head.....! oops i digress!  so here is goof-e and after i have picked myself off the floor because it is so damn lovely This polish comprises of super bright green micro glitter, green and blue matte hex glitters and green holographic hex.  I layered this over essie mojito madness  which i think is a perfect combination.  Yes its colourful and playful but i also think its super pretty....thumbs up for this one (and this was only 1 coat!!)

Lastly we have Mr Mouse.  This spoke to me as soon as i saw it, its totally different to what i would usually wear, so it was a welcome change to try something out of my comfort zone.  Mr Mouse is set in a clear base with ultra fine black matte glitter, white matte hex and sparkly red hex glitter.  The possibilities with this polish is endless....although i am not sure i would do a whole mani done with white as a base as i thought the base concealed the larger white glitters.  I have seen this done over a natural nail and it looked great....unfortunately polish has stained my nails at the minute so i wont do it over my natural nails but maybe a nice nude colour.  I really thought this was a fun polish...again the name is classic...love it!

Overall the application on these babies was effortless...with the exception of Mr Mouse which i had to fish a smidgen for....i might add this is to be expected with a polish like this...it wasnt an issue and if you like this kind of look it is all part of creating the build up you want.  Dry time was super fast to.  Would i recommend F4...YES....not only are they so friendly there but they stock some ultra cute polishes!!!  find them in their etsy shop here or on facebook here

Never too Late for No H8!

Hello Dahlings!

My name is Inky Whiskers & our beloved Mistress Mimi has graciously invited me to provide a guest post for her blog & here I am! I wanted to do something special with the RAK polish Mimi kindly sent me & I missed posting a purple support mani on Nov. 8^th, so I’m feeding 2 cats with one fish. (I don’t like to throw stones at birds.)

HOLY FREAKIN GUACOMOLE THAT IS GORGEOUS!!! Let me introduce you to my 1^st Jade polish: Holografico Fascinio Violeta. Purple rainbows…does it get any better than this? I think not! This baby could be a one coater, but I like to wrap my tips between coats, so you’re looking at 2 coats with no topcoat. Me being me & me being all about the nail art I had to add a lil somethin’ somethin’.

I used Orly Liquid Vinyl & V shaped nail masks to add V French tips with V half-moons on my ring fingers as an accent. I also added a bit of floral bling from the craft store. (These flowers come in lots of colors & have a bit of sticky foam on the back. I recommend removing the foam as it makes the flower stick up from the nail quite a bit.) I love how those rainbows shimmer across each nail even with topcoat!

If you haven’t entered Mimi’s OPI 250 Follower Give-a-way yet…WHAT ARE YOU WATING FOR? It’s under ‘October’ in the archive on the right side of the page you’re looking at right now. GO! You can’t win if you don’t enter.

Thank you so much Mistress Mimi for my purple polish treat & letting me come play on your blog! You are an AWESOME Lady!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Ahhhmazing Shimmer Polish review

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.
