Enchanted Polish December 2012

I have a rather special polish to show you today.... and of course it's an Enchanted!

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.

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.

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.

I will most certainly be wearing this one again and next time I promise better pictures.

Oh, I thought I hadn't shown you any pictures of Miagi lately, here is my lovely angel giving me a cuddle when I was really tired with jet lag. Gotta love him!

Nubar Reclaim

Well, it's middle of May and no chance of any sunshine to wear any holo's so........ 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!!

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!

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.

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??!

Hare Polish Teen Queen

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you've all had a lovely weekend, it just goes too fast doesn't it?!

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!

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.

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.

I really liked this mani, it was perfect for the occasion!

Look at this cute huge cupcake, we were all on a sugar high!

All the girls:

Good luck Sarah!

Enchanted Polish Magical Mystery Tour

Well, I told you I had something special for you today.... and here it is. So if you know me, you'll know I am a huge Enchanted Polish fan. 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!

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!

I need a least 2 back up bottles, on to the pictures.....

I don't need to describe these pictures, you can see for yourself, and yes, this is all ONE polish!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!

KBShimmer Sugar Plum Faerie

I'm back! 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!!

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.

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.

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.
