It's almost the weekend!<br />
<br />
I've come to the end of my exciting new finds of OPI for the moment and this one was an unexpected find at my distributor. OPI My Current Crush is another new liquid sand but it isn't part of the OPI 2013 Holiday collection. I hadn't really heard much about this one, it had been posted in one of my Facebook groups but that was as far as the information went until I saw it!<br />

This isn't a 'normal' OPI label but that's how it came, some of them are like this, I remember the Serena Williams sets were like this too. The pictures of this bottle look a bit brighter than in real life, not sure why!<br />

<br />
This polish is part of a duo with the OPI Natural Nail Base Coat, I was told by my distributor that it was a special for Christmas but that's still as much as I know. The box says it's a limited edition I wonder if OPI are going to be releasing details at all?<br />
<br />
I would describe this polish is a bright royal purple colour with tiny sparkly micro glitters. For this mani I used 2 coats of My Current Crush, as ever with OPI the formula was great and it dried quickly. I wore this mani for 4 days with almost no tip wear, these liquid sands wear like iron!<br />
<br />
Next time I wear this I'm tempted to topcoat a couple of nails and add a glitter gradient on top, I saw a picture of this and it looked great!<br />
<br />
Have you heard anything about this polish?<br />

Happy Monday readers - it's almost the end of the day here which given it's a Monday is never a bad thing!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Today I want to show you the last bit of the Mariah Carey Holiday 2013 collection, I got lucky again and was able to pick up the new Mariah white gold topcoat that is coming out as a special, it was my missing piece of the puzzle.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On first inspection this appears very similar to the OPI The Man With A Golden Gun from 2012, except it has white gold flakes rather than yellow gold. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The packaging for this is gorgeous, look at that bottle - how can you resist? Especially if you have a soft spot in your heart for OPI. This polish also comes in it's own box display box.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For this swatch I used 2 coats of I saw.....U Saw......We Saw...... Warsaw from the OPI Euro collection, one coat of the Mariah white gold topcoat and one coat of topcoat.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I really like this white gold topcoat, the coverage is good, I think a little better the The Man With A Golden Gun. It still has a slight tinge of yellow to the gold and I was expecting it to be completely silver, but looking back it's nothing like the yellow gold top coat, I prefer it and I think it's pretty.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used this over a dark colour so it would stand out but I think it would probably look good over anything! Definitely a worthwhile purchase for my collection.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got mine from Lena White, the UK distributor where I have a trade card so I don't know exactly what I paid for it but I remember The Man With A Golden Gun was about £30 last year I would guess it might be around that - ouch! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Will this be making it into your collection?</div>

<br />
I placed an order a while ago and when it came there were two extra bottles hiding in the package. At first I thought it was a mistake, that was until I looked at the names of the polishes. Pam had sent me 2 gorgeous unreleased polishes - one called MiagiCat, after my facebook user name (I HATE facebook in real life and don't want anyone in real life to find me!) and one called OVbunEN, this was particularly touching as I am expecting a baby!<br />
<br />
I decided I wanted to save them for a special occasion and what could be more special than my 20 week scan.<br />
<br />
MiagiCat will be released by Girly Bits under the name of Elephant Shoe (when you mouth Elephant Show it looks like I Love You, how cute!). Pam said it's likely this version will be a tad bit darker than the version you see here. I would say this polish is a beautiful grey/lilac cream. I used 2 coat for this mani, as always with Girly Bits the formula was great and easy to work with.<br />
<br />
OVbunEN is a really pretty soft pastel glitter with tons of different shapes in a clear base. The base is quite thick which is a great thing as the glitter spreads really easily over the nail and gives really good coverage. I used two coats of topcoat over this mani and it was really smooth, no gelous here!<br />
<br />
I loved this mani and these polishes will always be special to me.<br />
<br />
Elephant Shoe and OVbunEN will be released at the Girly Bits shop <a href="http://www.girlybitscosmetics.com/">here</a> on September the 15th. What a perfect baby shower gift for a mamma to be!<br />

So this is the last of the OPI 2013 Holiday Mariah Collection for you. When I picked up the other colours there was one that had not had it's stock take so the distributor kindly offered to post it to me, this is OPI I Snow You Love Me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
OPI I Snow You Love Me is described by OPI as 'just like I snow you love this disco light confetti', well that's not really a description but that's as close as I've found. Basically this is a round holographic glitter, it has a pattern on the glitter so it sort of reminds me of a snowflake. I wore it here over 2 coats of Visions of Love because I wanted you to see it against something dark so it would stand up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted to love this glitter but I'm not sure. I found it really sparse and there was loads of clear base so when you try to put it on the nail you get a ton of base and not much glitter, that was my main problem. I also thought the base smelt quite strong, although for the sake of a pretty glitter I can cope with that. I tended to try and get the glitters on the neck of the bottle and then place them which worked better. It is a unique glitter in my vast collection and it is pretty and sparkly, I'm sure I'll give it another go with a different base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The one thing I do want to point out is that the glitters are completely and utterly flat. I've been asked a few times if there is any curling and I can say there is none whatsoever, I think a lesson was learnt with When Monkeys Fly! In fact I took these pictures without any topcoat as I was in a rush, so that just shows you how flat they are.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In all I will definitely keep this one in my collection but it is probably my least favourite glitter from the collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can't wait to wear this whole collection for real during the holidays! If you want to check out the other polishes from the collection you can see the liquid sands <a href="http://www.prettykittyclaws.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/opi-holiday-2013-mariah-carey-liquid.html">here</a>, the glitters <a href="http://www.prettykittyclaws.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/opi-holiday-2013-mariah-carey.html">here</a> and the reds <a href="http://www.prettykittyclaws.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/opi-holiday-2013-mariah-carey_4.html">here</a>.</div>

This last post is all about the reds and as we all know OPI loves their reds.<br />
<br />
There are 6 reds in this collection, varying from the classic OPI bright red to a very dark and almost chocolate red.<br />
<br />
I have to admit I do love a good red at Christmastime and OPI always come up trumps!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So, for these swatches I used 2 coats for each colour. The formula on all of these is great. I'm looking forward to wearing them during the holidays and blinging them out with a glitter topper, speaking of which, I got my 'I Snow You Love Me' today but it's at my neighbours. Stay tuned for a post on this one later in the weekend.<br />
<br />
So, on to the swatches......<br />
<br />
<b>All I want for Christmas (is OPI):</b><br />
This marvellous maroon is present-ly my top choice<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ub4EXGQMMSCgj6Q61QrZ-fWfnwuRritTwCBmq9iqGQpCqRAVOyI6k7v0U6rj8T_zt6Eqmmd5MzKBUpD4cVaZTbrMVtioSfQLuNVkL5qwJWIqWlQ57_3sbq9hHgVhOMFVc_PgjMh3fkze/s1600/IMG_6681.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ub4EXGQMMSCgj6Q61QrZ-fWfnwuRritTwCBmq9iqGQpCqRAVOyI6k7v0U6rj8T_zt6Eqmmd5MzKBUpD4cVaZTbrMVtioSfQLuNVkL5qwJWIqWlQ57_3sbq9hHgVhOMFVc_PgjMh3fkze/s640/IMG_6681.JPG" width="524" /></a></div>
This is totally the usual red from OPI, I'm sure I have several dupes for this one but I had to have it for the name (it's one of my favourite Christmas songs).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>In My Santa Suit:</b><br />
This generously pigmented red is worth staying on the 'nice' list.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLeie3X66HuBifkYh8McQq7w2VmT9scdXhDXHWrbvPj54orkNl2R8Ce0SEcWVQUF3SzPrS2YbWjmCjuQQ-_yd-bjvnaHbuQPFxAo9O8RIWZ-cJpHx-AgbdOqbGyVYWve66GS1g5Bns-UqY/s1600/IMG_6705.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLeie3X66HuBifkYh8McQq7w2VmT9scdXhDXHWrbvPj54orkNl2R8Ce0SEcWVQUF3SzPrS2YbWjmCjuQQ-_yd-bjvnaHbuQPFxAo9O8RIWZ-cJpHx-AgbdOqbGyVYWve66GS1g5Bns-UqY/s640/IMG_6705.JPG" width="516" /></a></div>
This is a really pretty classical red shimmer from OPI, it reminds me of I'm not Really A Waitress but I'm sure it's a brighter red. Again, I probably have a near dupe but as always I get suckered by the names in holiday collections!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Underneath the Mistletoe:</b><br />
Is my kiss as spicy-sweet as this candy apple red?<br />

Loved this in the bottle and love it on the nail. The tiny glitters really sparkle and this photograph really doesn't do this polish justice.<br />
<br />
<br />

More of a plum/pinker tone than a true red, makes a nice addition to the collection.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sleigh Ride for Two:</b><br />
There's only one room left for this dark hot chocolate<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm not sure I'd have said this was a hot chocolate colour, it has a lean of plum to it and I was a little disappointed that the shimmer didn't show up on the nail as much as it did in the bottle.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Visions of Love:</b><br />
I see this rich burgundy in my immediate future<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This one was about as dark as I ever like to wear, on the nail it was a very dark brown with a touch of red. Quite a classic.<br />
<br />
The reds are usually the ones I'm least interested in but I'm pretty pleased with this part of the collection, they are all polishes I will wear and would be beautiful for pedis. My picks? Definitely Underneath the Mistletoe was my favourite because it is a little different, the others were nice but as I have a good sized OPI stash I probably have similar polishes. Having said that I will wear all of these and I'm glad I have the collection.<br />
<br />

I've chosen the golds, glitters and brown toned polishes for this post as these were my favourites, second to the liquid sands.<br />
<br />
There are 4 glitters in this collection and I am missing one from this post. I Snow You Love Me had not been stock taken at the distributor when I visited so it's on it's way in the post to me and I'll post it on it's own as soon as it gets here.<br />
<br />
All swatches were 2 coats of polish unless otherwise stated, in true OPI style the formulas were excellent and easy to work with, even for glitters.<br />
<br />
Here they are:<br />

I did buy this one but I queried it to be honest, it looked sheer in the bottle and for this swatch I used 3 coats. As you can see I still have VNL but I do think it's a layering polish. The day I bought it I put it on my thumb, over my Enchanted Polish A Little Fishy Told Me, it was very pretty. When I use it I'll be sure to layer it over a lighter colour, it gives off a very pretty gold sheen.<br />

This one almost reminds me of an indie polish, initially I wasn't sure about the black glitter, however it's grown on me and I do like it. Again it was a very sparkly polish with a good coverage.<br />

I thought this one was a bit of an odd choice in this collection and I really wouldn't describe it as a spiced coffee at all. It really reminded me of a smoked version of the base colour of OPI's My Private Jet. I don't have anything the similar in my collection and I might wear with with a glitter topper to add a bit of jazz.<br />
<br />
All in all, I really liked all of these. My top picks would certainly be My Favourite Ornament and All Sparkly and Gold, I think they will make beautiful accent fingers and even look beautiful on toes.<br />
<br />
Watch out for part 3 tomorrow, a must if you like your reds.......<br />

<br />
On Thursday I just happened to drop in at the UK OPI distributor, Lena White, in Watford Hertfordshire, on my way back from work. I actually wanted to have a look at the OPI San Francisco collection but what to my wandering eyes should appear???? The OPI Holiday 2013 Mariah Carey Collection!!<br />
<br />
Now, I had seen the press release OPI had put out and although I really do love OPI I couldn't help feel a little cold and disappointed towards this collection. In real life it was totally the opposite, they enchanted me. I had told myself I didn't need any more liquid sands, boy was I wrong!<br />
<br />
This collection features 12 glitters/cremes/shimmers and 6 liquid sands. The only one I didn't buy was the black liquid sands (Emotions) because I knew I really wouldn't wear that one.<br />
<br />
I thought I'd show you the liquid sands first as these were the first of the collection I had tried. In true OPI liquid sands formula they are great to apply, wear like iron and aren't too bad to remove.<br />
<br />

<br />
I photographed these in a light box first and then in natural light so you get a better idea of what they will look like. I tend to find they are much more sparkly in natural light.<br />
<br />
All swatches were done with 2 coats of the liquid sands.<br />

Probably the least flattering on my skin tone but very sparkly and I still liked it. It kind of reminded me of a foil but in liquid sands formula.<br />

This one was really sparkly, initially I bought it with the intention of wearing it as a ring finger accent however it was so pretty as a full mani and will be gorgeous as a pedi colour. I wore 2 coats for this but could still see a tiny bit of VNL so when I wear it next I'll do 3 coats for complete opacity.<br />

This one reminded me of a liquid sands in Nails Inc Baker Street. In these pictures the polish wasn't completely dry (I got fed up waiting) and the texture hasn't fully developed yet, it will be even more awesome when it is totally dry.<br />
<br />
All in all I really like this collection. I wasn't even going to get any more liquid sands but these convinced me. I think my favourite has to be Make Him Mine, it was just so flattering, but I really did love them all.<br />
<br />
I'll be back tomorrow to post more of the OPI Holiday 2013 collection so keep an eye out!<br />
<br />
Which is your favourite?<br />

Ends Up On FacebookSo, I'm back with something good.....<br />
<br />
It's a Girly Bits Limited Edition. Now I don't post a whole lot of Girly Bits but that isn't because I don't wear them often or love them, it's just because for some bizarre reason I can never quite capture the beauty in my photographs and so I rarely post them if I can't do them justice. Girly Bits was my first indie polish a few years ago and still one of my favourites today.<br />
<br />
What Happens in Vegas.... Ends Up On Facebook is a LE polish which was created for bloggers who visited CosmoProf Show in Las Vegas this year, Pam also kindly made a limited and numbered batch for her customers, I got number 113!<br />
<br />
Girly Bits describes this polish as a beautiful dusty eggplant shimmer with holo qualities and blue/purple colour shifting iridescent micro glitters, pink micro glitters and red micro shimmer. I'd tend to agree with that except I really felt this is a beautiful scattered holo which has really pretty blue iridescent glitters, this makes it great to wear any time because even when it's not in the sun it is still beautiful to look at.<br />
<br />
I used 2 coats for this mani and a layer of Cult Nails Wicked Fast. I wore this mani for about 5 days I loved it so much. If you weren't able to snag this beauty when it was for sale don't despair, there will be plenty more pretties to play with - I even have a very special duo from Girly Bits to show you next Friday.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

I am alive, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Sorry for the absence. You know? I just didn't feel like blogging. There has been lots going on in life and so I've told myself I'm going to just take a break when I feel like it and enjoy just wearing polish for myself for a while.<br />
<br />
I do have a special post today, I couldn't let the very sad and untimely passing of the amazing Talia Joy Castellano go by without at least contributing my tribute mani. Talia was only 13 and she was an amazing inspiration to many people. She loved make up and polish and the last mani she posted on her instagram account was a mint mani.<br />
<br />
In tribute to Talia here is my mint mani, please skip to the end and see all of the other bloggers who did mani's for Talia. I hope in some small way we can show our support to her family and somehow pay a well deserved tribute to this wonderful girl.<br />
<br />
For this mani I used 2 coats of Aly's Dream polish Tiffany Tea, Cult nails Wicked Fast and a few rhinestones for some bling.<br />
<br />
RIP brave girl.<br />
<br />

<br />
Sorry for my absence, I had a lovely holiday in Italy and then came back to the week at work from hell! I've falling asleep at the drop of a hat when I get home and that doesn't leave much time for blogging. Also, I really badly broke my middle nail on my swatching hand the other day so it's a good thing that I already have quite a few posts sorted up.<br />
<br />
Anyway, today I do have a beautiful polish to show you from Enchanted Polish, it's from the newly released Time to Pretend collection and it's called Future reflections. I was amazingly lucky at Chelsea's April restock and managed to snag a ton of her polishes, apparently she oversold by something like 2000 polishes but she managed to get them all to us, amazing customer service and another reason to love Enchanted.<br />
<br />
Future Reflections is a beautiful holographic navy blue/purple/pink subtle multi-chrome polish. As ever the formula was amazing, I used 2 effortless coats and one coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast.<br />
<br />
Make sure you look further down to see my amazing Enchanted haul! Lots more to come....<br />

It's a British indie!<br />
<br />
Iconic Effect will be releasing their first collection on Wednesday 12th June at 7pm GMT and I was lucky enough to be sent 3 of these beauties to review for you. Firstly let me say, they are all absolutely gorgeous and we are all in for a real treat! Iconic Polish Etsy shop can be found <a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/IconicEffect">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Iconic Effect is the hard work of the lovely Kelly and Kerry, you can see the Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IconicEffect?fref=ts">here</a>. The bottle are a good 15ml size and the polish is 3 free. Prices should be £6.50 each, which is quite a bargain for us here in the UK.<br />
<br />
OK, on to the pictures, which i know is what you have all been waiting for.....<br />
<br />
Firstly, just look at this cute design!<br />

OK, first up is Iconic Effect Psychedelic Snarl. This polish is a beautiful shimmery blue with magenta circle glitter and tiny round glitters. For this swatch I used 3 coats on it's own with one layer of Cult Nails Wicked Fast topcoat.<br />
<br />
I couldn't decide whether to layer this one or not so I thought I'd show you what it was like plain on it's own. I think next time I wear this I'll layer it over a darker blue, I think the shimmer would really show. This polish was easy to apply and the formula good.<br />

Next up is Princess Drops, this is a beautiful glitter topper. It actually reminds me of the type of polishes Lynnderella is famous for. This is so soft and pretty with pale pink, blue and purple glitters, there are even a few stars and hearts thrown in for good measure.<br />
<br />
I decided to layer this polish over OPI You're Such A Budapest, I used one coat of Princess Drops here for this coverage. I used 2 coats of Cult Nails Wicked Fast to smooth things out but really it would have benefitted from a layer of Gelous for perfection.<br />
<br />
Again, this one was easy to work with a great formula.<br />

Those little dots look like topcoat bubbles but in real life you couldn't see them, they are actually little glitters which sparkle in the light.<br />

Last but not least is Pea Soup. This is a gorgeous mint green creme with tiny magenta glitter, bright pink hex's and small green hex's. I used 3 coats for this mani and had good coverage. I did have to swirl the brush around a bit to get the larger glitters but I had a mini bottle and I'm guessing it might be a bit easier with a bigger bottle. I had loads of compliments on this polish and rightfully so.<br />

All in all I loved these polishes and I can't wait to see the other treats in store for us.<br />
Make sure you grab yours when you can.<br />

<br />
Today I have a beautiful polish to show you, one which has been sitting in it's file waiting to be posted for far too long. In fact, I bought my only Jindie's around Christmas and I absolutely loved them when I got them. I put them in their drawer and you know what it's like..... you mean to wear them but more nail mail arrives and you get caught up. In fact, by the time I wore this polish I didn't expect I would love it that much, boy was I wrong.<br />
<br />
Jindie Nails Electric Grape is described as a neon purple jelly with an electric blue micro shimmer throughout. For this mani I used 3 coats and a layer of HK Girl topcoat. It was a little sheer and I still had a little bit of VNL but really it wasn't too bad. I could have layered it or used a 4th coat but I really liked it as it is.<br />
<br />
This is one of those polishes that glows. It did get some tip wear within a day which didn't really bother me but if you wanted to keep it on for a while you might need to layer it.<br />

<br />
I managed to snag this beauty BNIB on ebay a while ago, one day I'd really love to complete my DS collection, I've got a way to go so we'll see......<br />
<br />
This bright and bold beauty is OPI DS Sensation. Before you get too disappointed it's not one of the holo's these collections are famous for, it's a beautiful hot pink polish with hints of orange and a blue glass fleck running through it.<br />
<br />
The formula was pretty thin, I used 4 coats for this mani and in real life I could still see a little VNL, it's a really vibrant and pretty polish though so I didn't mind that at all. I wore this mani for several days, it would be such a pretty pedi colour!<br />

<br />
Today I have for you Ninja Polish Divinity from the Enigma collection. This polish contains colour shifting pigments and sparkle. It is modelled on the likes of the famous Clarins 230 and Max Factor Fantasy Fire but it can be worn alone without undies.<br />
<br />
I took the some of these pictures below in the light box which really didn't show much colour shifting but I wanted you to see the polish in this light because it does show some of the colour shifting which was really hard to capture.<br />
<br />
For these swatches I used 2 coats of Divinity and one coat of HK Girl topcoat, make sure you scroll down further for more pictures and a comparison.<br />

I think the most colour shift I got from this polish was in low light which meant it was really hard to capture. You can see some green shift in this picture but in real life it was more apparent.<br />

OK, so I am luck enough to also own Max Factor Fantasy Fire and Clarins 230 so I thought I would show you a quick comparison. I swatched Fantasy Fire and Clarins 230 over black, as you can see Divinity is quite different, even over black.<br />

<br />
Fantasy Fire and Clarins 230 are very very similar and I felt that Divinity just lacked the depth of the other 2. I know it's not supposed to be a dupe but for us in the UK where Fantasy Fire is plentiful I probably wouldn't bother with Divinity. It's one of those polishes that I probably would really have loved if I didn't already own something even more incredible.<br />

<br />
December 2012 was a special release by Chelsea and it was the first of her monthly polishes. When it was released I missed out on it because it was announced on Instagram and I really wasn't up to speed with all that then. However, I was really lucky to 'win' it on one of the auctions on one of the nail polish groups, and since then it's become almost impossible to find.<br />
<br />
I picked this beauty up when I went to see my Dad in California in March and I immediately put it on, knowing it might be my only shot at sunshine for a while! I brought back a TON of polishes in my suit cases and I was worried something might happen to them on the way, I knew at least if I wore this while it was in my hands then I had had a chance to enjoy it at least once. Luckily all my polishes made it home safe and sound to see another day.<br />
<br />
Enchanted Polish December 2012 speaks for itself. It is an absolutely stunning saturated colour. For these pictures I used 2 coats but in fact I am pretty sure I could have got away with just one. Please forgive the less than ideal pictures and application. I was in a hurry to wear it and when I took these pictures I was standing in the car park of Philippe's restaurant (they do the best French Dipped Sandwiches btw) just before leaving for the airport to come back home.<br />
<br />
I will most certainly be wearing this one again and next time I promise better pictures.<br />

I just thought I'd remind myself of the fabulousness of something I've already worn since I'm not going to be seeing it on my nails anytime soon.... oh the joys of the English weather!!<br />
<br />
This is Nubar Reclaim, if you don't own it then you should, if you have it but haven't worn it then you need to!<br />
<br />
This is 2 coats on it's own with a layer of HK Girl as a topcoat. I used my usual base and the formula was absolutely beautiful, no dragging or pulling, just effortless coats.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to wear this polish again, dare I say, it is even more stunning in real life, why oh why did it take me so long to try it??!<br />

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you've all had a lovely weekend, it just goes too fast doesn't it?!<br />
<br />
Well, today I have a polish I've been meaning to show you for a couple of weeks, it's from the new Hare collection and it's called Teen Queen. As you may know, I love Hare Polish and I knew there were a few from the newest collection I needed, I did debate this one as I'm trying to stay away from clear based glitters but I had a baby shower coming up and thought it would be perfect!<br />
<br />
Hare Teen Queen is a neon blue glitter and satin baby pink hex and square glitter in several sizes. It's also got a generous amount of blue shimmer and a clear base.<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
My friend Sarah's baby is due on the 25th May and she doesn't know if she's having a boy or a girl so I decided to do skittles with Barry M Baby Pink and Blue Moon topped with a generous coat of Hare Teen Queen, one coat of Gelous and a coat of HK Girl. The formula was great, as always with Hare.<br />
<br />
I really liked this mani, it was perfect for the occasion!<br />

Yes I know Chelsea's business has exploded and that has made it harder for us to get her polishes but boy, when you get your hands on one are they worth it!<br />

I'm not going to do much talking today because this polish doesn't need words, but I will tell you that I think this is my favourite polish of all time. This is the polish I could wear for the rest of my life and want to be buried in (hopefully not for a very long time but it gives you a indication of my absolute love for it). This is Enchanted Polish Magical Mystery Tour, 3 coats, although it only needed 2. It is pure multi chrome, holographic goodness. I couldn't love it more!<br />
<br />
I need a least 2 back up bottles, on to the pictures.....<br />
<br />
I don't need to describe these pictures, you can see for yourself, and yes, this is all ONE polish!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!<br />

Sorry I haven't been posting for the last couple of weeks. Do you ever just not feel like doing something? Well, when it comes to polish I rarely have that feeling but lately I just haven't felt like posting. I've had this post in my drafts for at least a week and a half and I've been painting my nails and making a few swaps and purchases which has all been fun but I've enjoyed taking a little break. I'm never going to be a big blogger and I do this for fun, which I hope comes across in my blog, so I've got plenty of posts for fun waiting for you, I just have to edit the photo's first!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, today I have a polish I bought at Christmas and am only just getting around to wearing. KBShimmer Sugar Plum Faerie is a purple jelly with tons of beautiful glitters floating about. The thing I love about this polish is the vibrancy of the colours, the hot pink and lime green glitters really make this polish a stand out for me.<br />
<br />
For this swatch I used 3 coats of Sugar Plum Faerie and 2 coats of HK Girl topcoat. Despite all the glitters the formula was really nice and easy to apply and the polish wore really well, if I remember right I think i had it on for 3 days.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for tomorrow, I have something I have been wearing all weekend and it's so stunning it's killed me to take it off for work tomorrow.<br />

<br />
I've just been busy at the Enchanted Polish restock - man, I love that polish. Poor Chelsea had a huge oversell so although I'm elated to get what I want (hopefully) I do feel so sorry for the indie makers sometimes. How does one person keep up with the demand and expectation that they are faced with by relentless polish addicts? I don't know but I guess as customers we can only try to be understanding and supportive of our favourite brands.<br />
<br />
Anyway, enough of the philosophical thinking and on to the polish.<br />
<br />
Today I have a polish which lives in the halls of polish infamy, Nubar Peacock Feathers. Yes, I know you have heard of it. It's one of those polishes which was ahead of it's time in the polish world, it was ignored because it dared to be different and then we all woke up, wanted one and couldn't get our hands on it anymore because it was quickly discontinued due to problems obtaining the pigments.<br />
<br />
I have been really very lucky in the polish community and I do have some absolutely awesome friends. I managed to get my hands on this polish through a lovely polish friend of mine who sold it to me for retail. I know, how amazing is that!!<br />
<br />
So on to the polish. Nubar Peacock Feathers is a rich dark blue with tons of colour shifting. In most lights it is a sort of rich blue/purple but move your hands and you will see flashes of pink, green, and gold. Is it as amazing as it is hyped? I don't think so to be honest, if you are looking for the most colour shifting polishes on the market I'd try the HITS Mari Moon collection first or Enchanted Polish Beetles collection, however if you have been lemming this polish specifically as a collector you won't be disappointed I promise you.<br />
<br />
I took these pictures in my light box and they really didn't show the amount of colour shifting this polish has so make sure you scroll down and see all the pictures.<br />

Is it midweek yet??? I'm having on of those weeks where I feel like it should already be Friday, you know the kind? Where you come home from work and fall asleep on the sofa before bedtime! Anyway, time for some pretty nails to perk me up!!<br />
<br />
Today I have one of the Lacquer Lust polishes I was lucky enough to score in the January restock when they were still offering international shipping direct from the Bigcartel store. I had only recently come across Lacquer Lust, I think it was the hype over Butt Bootie Naked that did it, however they have some very pretty and unique polishes.<br />
<br />
One of the polishes I picked up was Chocolate Covered Strawberries which is from the Transitions collection, these polishes are colour changing thermal scattered holo's and apparently change colour with your body temperature. Chocolate Covered Strawberries is described as changing from a chocolate mauve when cold to a pink mauve when warm.<br />
<br />
Firstly, this polish is absolutely gorgeous, I really really loved wearing it, unfortunately I wasn't able to get a colour change. I did think the colour change would be subtle, however I really couldn't detect anything at all. I don't know if I got a defective bottle or not, I tried running my hands under hot and cold water but really didn't get a detectable change in colour which was a shame but really didn't ruin the polish for me. If you want to see the colour shift Fashion Polish has some great swatches showing this that you can see <a href="http://www.fashionpolish.com/2013/03/lacquer-lust-transitions-collection.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
For these swatches I used 3 coats of Chocolate Covered Strawberries and a coat of HK Girl topcoat. I did get some black specks in the polish which would sort of drag out when I went over them with the brush, I don't know if they were anything to do with the colour changing pigment or not, they weren't enough to spoil the effect of the polish but you can see them in the photographs.<br />
<br />
Overall I really liked this polish even though I was a little disappointed it didn't change colour. The formula was nice and the holo was really pretty. I have another of the transitions collection to show you so hopefully I'll have more luck with the colour changing next time.<br />
<br />
Lacquer Lust can be found on their Big Cartel site <a href="http://www.lacquerlust.bigcartel.com/">here</a>, and they are also stocked on Harlow and Co <a href="http://www.harlowandco.org/collections/lacquer-lust">here</a>. Be warned they sell out fast, you can keep up with restock information at the Lacquer Lust Facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/lacquerlustbyjo?fref=ts">here</a>.<br />

It's been raining and miserable here but it's Saturday so I can always find something good!! I've been shopping for baby shower presents for my friend for next Saturday (such cuteness!), ordered pink and blue cupcakes for the occasion and grabbed a coffee with my BFF so it can't all be bad.<br />
<br />
Today I have a bright and cheery polish to show you to life your spirits. As I'm sure you know by now Enchanted Polish has gone nuts recently but after much refreshing at the last restock I did manage to snag a Shrimp Cocktail amongst a few others. I love ordering directly from Enchanted Polish and Chelsea has fabulous customer service, I'm so pleased for her to see she is getting the recognition she deserves, I just hope she can keep making more to keep us all satisfied!<br />
<br />
Shrimp Cocktail is a bit of an unusual polish from Enchanted as it isn't a holo or a glitter, but in fact it's a shimmer. This polish is a bright coral with tons of golden shimmer running through it. I had a really hard time taking pictures of this polish because for some reason my camera thinks it's orange and really it's not. Bright coral is a perfect description for this polish, I used 3 coats for the swatch here but I did find the formula to be a little more on the sheer side and I did have a little VNL still but I like it. This is one happy polish, not a usual one from Chelsea but I like the surprise, she keeps us on our toes!<br />

<br />
Sorry I have been a bit quiet of late. I have just been enjoying doing things around my house, clearing out and planning a new bit to my kitchen. In the past I've felt like the nail groups and polish have been taking over my evenings a bit so I've tried to take a little step back and spend some more time with my husband, cooking and reading books. It's been really nice but I will be still be posting so don't worry, in fact I am going to do my nails after this with a new Enchanted, so keep your eye out for that!<br />
<br />
Today I have a post which I should have posted a while ago. I was lucky enough to order several Wingdust polishes several months ago. They arrived in the most beautiful wrapping and bags with a little bracelet and some candy, it really was a treat to receive and felt more like a swap than a purchase.<br />
<br />
One of the polishes I received in that package was Wingdust Ocean Tears. This polish is a blue jelly filled with a combination of blue, turquoise and aqua hex glitters with silver holo micro glitters throughout. In person this polish was much prettier than the pictures can show, I really enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
For these swatches I used 3 thin coats of Ocean Tears and one coat of HK Girl to smooth everything out. The formula was easy to work with and I was really impressed with this brand, I will be buying more I'm sure.<br />
<br />
You can buy from Wingdust directly at the Etsy store <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/WingDustCollections">here</a> or from Llarowe <a href="http://shop.llarowe.com/collections/wind-dust-collections?page=1">here</a>.<br />

I've had this polish for several months and have been saving it for the spring, it reminds me of all the colours of flowers that start to pop up this time of year and that lovely fresh air when the air is still cold but the sun is peaking through.<br />
<br />
This is Jindie Candy Land, yes you've probably heard of it and probably seen it elsewhere, I saw a swatch of it when it first came out and I knew I needed it. Candy Land is described as a cream/white jelly base with medium and large neon hex glitters and small neon glitters.<br />
<br />
For these swatches I used 3 coats of Candy Land and a layer of HK Girl topcoat. I found the formula on this polish quite difficult, the base was reasonably thick, it reminded me of painting PVC glue base coat but for me the problem was getting enough of the neon glitters where I wanted them on the nail, they did take quite a bit of placement for some nails. Overall the effect was very pretty, and even though I don't usually like white polishes on me I think this was a winner.<br />

Hope you have had lots of lovely choccies today and been up to something nice to celebrate.<br />
<br />
Well as usual I'm behind on everything, I only just made my Easter baskets and I didn't get a chance to do the bunnies and eggs mani I had planned, but I do have an Easter mani to show you, and you know what? We even had something that resembles sunshine this morning so even though I lost an hours sleep because the clocks went forward, I can almost believe we may get a spring....<br />
<br />
Anyway, on to the mani. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase Dollish Polish Peter Cottontail which was a Limited Edition produced by Dolly recently. I believe it was supposed to be limited to 100 bottles but the site oversold so there are actually 137 knocking about, mine is 84/100.<br />
<br />
Peter Cottontail is described as a soft coral jelly filled with multi hued iridescent glitters in multiple shapes and sizes which gives the polish a true delicate glow. It looks pretty sheer to me so I decided to layer it. I actually wanted to do an ombre mani with it but I chose shades of peach and orange, a colour I actually don't have a ton of so I think I ended up with more of a skittle mani. Oh well, it was still pretty.<br />
<br />
For this mani I used 2 coats of each base colour and 2 coats of Peter Cottontail over the top. Left to right: Barry M Peach Melba (LOVE!), Nails Inc Hobart Place, Nails Inc Mornington Crescent and an unnamed Color Club bright orange, which I believe may be Koo Koo Cachco. One layer of HK Girl smoothed this out and I'm just about to take it off after 3 days!<br />
<br />
I think next time I'd like to try Peter Cottontail on his own to see if I can get that beautiful softness in the bottle to transfer to the nail.<br />
<br />
So, which colour do you like best??<br />
