I have been VERY dormant over the last long while, but I have decided that now I have a little more time on my hands I am re-starting my blog *yay*. Upcoming posts will feature the mirror chromes and the mirror chameleon powder pigments for gel/uv, as well as a plethora of nail polishes and nail art. I missed this, and I must have all the polish! <br />
<br />
Stay tuned, coming soon! Thanks for hanging in there guys! Lots of love, Shel xx<br />

I have three beautiful Models Own polishes in todays post which I am really happy to share with you all. <br />
<br />
The first up is Copper Pot, it is a lovely multi-chrome metallic polish which flips from gold to copper with flashes of green hidden in there for good measure. I didn't expect to like this colour as much as I did, it is gorgeous! The formula is a little thin, but it is still only 3 good coats and a topcoat on my nails here so no biggie really. I also layered a coat over black on my ring finger to which greatly accentuates the green in the polish. I really love how this glowed in the sun and I will be wearing it again, a lovely colour for both Summer, and Autumn, its a keeper.<br />

The second polish I have is Indian Ocean. So beautiful, insanely pretty and makes me think of faeries and insect wings. Another multi-chrome, this one flips from baby blue to baby pink shimmery glass fleck polish with flashes of gold. As with the previous one, the formula is a little thin, but the coverage isn't as opaque. For my pics I had four coats on and still there is visible nail line (but it wasn't as obvious in reality). I will forgive it this though because the payoff is very much worth it. I also layered this over black on my ring finger, which accentuates the pink, but also shows the gold flashes off a little more. I love it worn either way, so that makes it a 2 looks for the price of 1 polish, which for any lacquerhead is always a bonus.<br />

Last but certainly not least, is the very sparkly Juicy Jules. This is a silver holo glitter suspended in a clear base. My pics don't do it justice it is beautifully sparkly and blingy, and topped over Indian Ocean looked stunning. It obviously works well as a topper, but I think with two or three coats it would be pretty opaque, so I will be wearing it with more coats over a silver polish too. There are a fair few of this type of glitter around, but if you don't have one already this one is definitely worth a buy, and at only £5 a polish from <a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/" target="_blank">models own website</a>, and widely available from <a href="http://www.littlewoods.com/beauty/nail-care/e/b/102338.end">www.littlewoods.com</a> nail care section (and other outlets too of course!). I am loving Models Own polish right now. Bring on summer, I'm ready :) <br />

Alessandro International is very well known in mainland europe, but it is new to the UK and has just launched over here too. I am always pleased of course to see new polishes coming our way, so today I have 'Vibrant Fuchsia' to show you.<br />
<br />
Firstly let me say my pics are pulling a little more pink than the true colour, it is more of a purple berry than a pink, but it is very pretty indeed. The formula was no problem to work with, although it was a little thinner than I expected but it dried quickly so it wasn't an issue. The finished mani in the pics is three thin coats and a top coat, so whilst it looked a little streaky on first application it evened out well with good colour saturation. I also liked the brush, it was a good width and easy to use.<br />
<br />
I have had this on for a couple of days now as it is advertised as lasting up to 7 days, and have a little tip wear but nothing that I wouldn't get from any other premium brand of polish, so all in all, yes, I give this one the thumbs up. I will try others in the range based on my experience with this one, and I will be looking out for them becoming widely available soon.<br />
<br />
You can visit the Alessandro homepage here at <a href="http://www.alessandro-international.co.uk/" target="_blank">Alessandro-International</a> to see their full range of hand care and polishes. You can also visit their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/alessandrointernationaluk" target="_blank">facebook page</a> or follow them in <a href="https://twitter.com/search/users?q=%40UKalessandro" target="_blank">Twitter</a><br />

Its one that I have worn and removed now so I can give you a full review about how well it lasts, and how easy removal is.<br />
<br />
First, let me start with the colour, it is blue, not just blue but BLUE in big shouty letters! Electric blue with a gorgeous sparkle as well, ooo yes please! Application, as in my previous post about shellac, is easy to do (remember you do need a UV lamp) although I think I should have taken a bit more time with mine as I was in a bit of a rush and it has gone on a little thick on my middle finger. I rather think that was just clumsy application by yours truly and not the shellac, and it looks worse in the pics than it does in real life with the shots being up close.<br />
<br />
So, I finished applying, base coat, couple of coats of colour, then top coat, and that was it. I left it for two and a half weeks, doing all my usual things. Walking the dogs, typing, filing, generally being busy, and not a chip or ding anywhere, not even tip wear so yes, it wears very well. I decided to take it off after giving it a thorough bashing, and I was starting to get new growth showing anyway so I thought it was time. The removal too a little longer than the previous one I used, I think it is because of the micro sparkle in it, but it was no more problematic, I just had to soak my nails in acetone a little longer. I used the foil method, of wrapping a pad with acetone over my nail, then covering it in foil to stop evaporation and just leaving it for 15 minutes or so. After soaking the shellac was all cracked and it just flaked off, then I moisturised thoroughly.<br />
<br />
So there you have it, if you are interested in any of these shellacs they do a range of all things UV related, gels, shellacs, wipes,and all you need from <a href="http://www.shellacworld.com/">www.shellacworld.com</a> where I got mine from. They also have a new facebook page too, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shellac-World/170844893062153">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shellac-World/170844893062153</a> go along and 'like' them, discount codes will be happening! And if pinterest is your thing, you can find them there too <a href="http://pinterest.com/shellacworld">pinterest.com/shellacworld</a><br />

I looked up these Bluesky products before deciding whether to try them, and saw a sea of voices saying 'its not Shellac if its not CND'. Well fair enough, most of these people were nail professionals and if I was going to a salon then yes, I would expect a premium product for the price. No different than if I was going for a manicure and polish, would I be happy paying salon prices to have my nails painted with a supermarket brand? No, I would want my OPI dammit!<br />
<br />
Here's the thing though, I am not a professional, I am a hobbyist. I have said this before to some of the nastier critics (yes there are some awful people out there who can be bullies about how you paint or shape your nails, seriously how wrong and tragic is that!) But I digress. <br />
<br />
So today, after deciding I would give them a whirl, I have a selection of colours and one full manicure to show you. I was sent these from a lovely lady at <a href="http://www.shellacworld.com/">Shellacworld</a> (<<<clicky for link) after perusing the site, and deciding these were the colours I liked the most. Obviously a UV nail lamp is needed, and I have an old UV lamp from a Rio gel nails kit that was purchased many moons ago from good old ebay, but it did the trick nicely even though it isn't particularly high powered.<br />

First I had to decide which colour to choose, from these five pretties, to try a full manicure with. Thumb to pinky are Crystal Flame, Crystal Curacao, Diamond Ocean, Diamond Plum, and Diamond Storm. <br />
<br />
Once I had decided that if its purple, and its got bling, then that's the way I must go, I got started. First I made sure my nails were clean and dry, and then wiped them with remover to remove any oil etc (or the mani can lift). I then applied a base of Bluesky Soak Off Gel Basecoat, and added a thin layer of Bluesky Shellac in 'Diamond Plum.' Then another slightly thicker coat of Diamond Plum to reach the opacity I wanted, and finally finished off with Bluesky Soak Off Gel Topcoat. I cured each layer for two minutes under my UV lamp before adding the next, and simply used isopropyl alcohol wipes to wipe off the sticky residue of the last layer when I was done. Et voilà, lovely glittery nails that were surprisingly easy to do. The colour, base and top coats were easy to apply, the colour being a bit thicker than a polish would be but nothing problematic, and the base and top coats applied as easily as polish does.<br />

I do like them and I am glad I gave them a try. Diamond Plum is a rich dark blue based purple that is jam packed with glitter, there are small and large sized holo glitter pieces in this that are so twinkly when it catches the light. Of course that appeals to me anyway, purple and sparkly, hell yeah! It has some lovely depth to it as well, with the glitter looking likes its floating in there, in layers of loveliness <br />
<br />
I was quite surprised that they turned out so well on my first try. Lovely and smooth, no lumpiness at all, and nice and shiny too so no layers of topcoat to smooth out the glitter. I have had them on for four days now, and they are not showing any wear at all, and I even had a girl at work admiring them and asking me what polish it was. When I told her, she said 'ooo can you come to my house and do mine please!' which is quite a compliment I reckon! My only criticism with this one is that it looks slightly thicker on the nail than a standard glitter polish and topcoat would, but its not obvious, and mostly I believe its down to it being so packed with glitter (for which I am prepared to forgive it, because, well its just soo pretty!).<br />
<br />
I will be trying all the others as full manicures as well in due time, but for now I am happy looking at my purple pretties twinkling away at me. I am happy with them, and I hope you like them too :D<br />

<br />
Yes, I am back again (again!) wow has it really been sooo long since I posted! Well I have been working on another non polish blog for the rescue I volunteer for which was good. I have also been doing lots of tedious life stuff, life, death, the whole damn shooting match, but I won't bore you with the details.<br />
<br />
So I thought, what says bang, I'm back. I looked at my ever growing stash, and BAM right in the kisser! Yep, its China Glaze Riveting, from their Hunger Games collection. It is a vibrant, saturated, glass flecked screaming ORANGE! It isn't quiet about it, it does need the caps lock, it shouts proudly. I absolutely love it, it is loud, proud and gorgeous to behold. If you don't have this, then you are missing out. Ladies and gentlement, I present to you, Riveting :)<br />

<br />
So, the polishes! I was sent 'orbit' and 'warning' as my shades, and I am loving them both. One is a one coater, oh yes! First up though, we have 'warning'.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWsiKfKjbM4PpcP7qpD4noz9V2eBvYIYYsUBNy7OzCep6j2wQcmqzYAGetdPlPIcZf2Fy99dBuiEwPyw5SDkSV1umR_zowo0kCMXKLW78LjEiJmxqovhYt6DHg0JeFevWxQQNbKj8-8MOc/s1600/IMGP4304.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWsiKfKjbM4PpcP7qpD4noz9V2eBvYIYYsUBNy7OzCep6j2wQcmqzYAGetdPlPIcZf2Fy99dBuiEwPyw5SDkSV1umR_zowo0kCMXKLW78LjEiJmxqovhYt6DHg0JeFevWxQQNbKj8-8MOc/s320/IMGP4304.JPG" width="296" /></a>This one is such a hard one to describe, it is a duochrome sparkly interesting and beautiful polish, it doesn't really fall into any one category and I definitely don't have a dupe for this. It has a mother of pearl type of effect, it is duochrome but not in the expected sense, in that all the colours can be seen mostly at the same time. There is also a micro sparkle in there which catches the light and I can see blue, purple, silver and pink but this isn't apparent individually unless you look really hard. It is a tough one to describe accurately, but all the ingredients make up to a lovely blue purple colour that is so pretty. It was a little sheer, but not problematical and built nicely after three coats. I wouldn't care if it took ten coats though, just look at it! All sparkly and pretty and making me go all girly pah! It makes me think of faeries and dragonfly wings and magical things. I will try layering this one for sure, but right now I wanted to show the polish in all its own splendour. Isn't she a pretty one.<br />

Oh my! I just love this one so much more than I thought I would. It looks promising in the bottle, but on the nail, oh yeah it made me have a moment. It is a perfect midnight blue with a hint of purple and a gorgeous sparkle. In the shade it has a bit of a suede type finish, with silvery and blue particles in there giving it an extra dimension. In the sun it sparkles like a glitter. It is absolutely stunning. I also slapped a shiny top coat on it because I just had to, and it really made it pop. Oh and did I mention, its a one coater! You betcha that made me happy shaped, A quick mani that looks this good, oh yeah sign me up for some of that!<br />

I hope you like these as much as I do, and believe me when I say they really do look better in real life. The bottles all have a QR code which can be scanned and that will take you straight to piCture pOlish online or to a Network Member depending where the polish was purchased, pretty cool. These can be ordered direct from <a href="http://www.picturepolish.com.au/">www.picturepolish.com.au</a> or from any of the girls in their international polish network. You can also follow the girls at piCture pOlish on<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/piCture-pOlish-a-week-on-your-tips-never-on-your-hips/109841249041383" target="_blank"> facebook</a> or on <a href="http://twitter.com/picturepolish" target="_blank">Twitter</a> or if <a href="http://pinterest.com/picturepolish/" target="_blank">Pinteres</a>t is your thing, you can follow them there too!Blingernailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08187499319353135793noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172048079582821643.post-65183327915714330372012-06-25T20:06:00.000+01:002012-06-25T20:07:28.089+01:00Nails Inc.

<br />
I bought three of the four Nail Jewellery Polishes by Nails Inc. because I am just too much of a magpie to resist when I see such shiny things! The ones I bought were Piccadilly Arcade (Emerald), Royal Arcade (Sapphire) and Princes Arcade (Pink Diamond). I left the Burlington Arcade (Diamond) as it looked like a few polishes I had seen before, and it just wasn't unique enough for me to shell out the rather expensive £11 price tag. These are meant to be glitter toppers I believe, and I tried them all over dark underwear, but these three could be worn alone with a couple of generous coats in my opinion. They applied really well, not too thick or goopy, and the polish stayed put where it should be without having to fish around for even distribution of the big bits of glitter. My swatches are just one coat over the base colour and a layer of top coat, so they should last a fair while which goes some way for me to justify the expense.<br />
<br />
I think my favourite out of the three I have has to be Sapphire, it is such a luscious shade, but all of them are really vibrant and rich colours, really striking to look at. The blue and green both have small, medium and large glitter pieces. The pink one has more uniform sized small and medium glitter but seems to have different hues, I see magenta, purple and silver holo-esque colours in there. One thing they all have in common is that they catch the light wonderfully and really shine and sparkle. All in all I think its a great collection, its just a shame the silver one isn't as dense as the other colours, or I would have bought that one too.<br />

I am a sucker for a shiny polish, and foils are no exception. I long for the day when there can be a true 'chrome' nail polish, but foil polishes, if they are done well, go some way to satisfying my cravings for mirror nails. OPI DS Radiance is one that is done well. I got this in a swap from the lovely Kelly at <a href="http://musingsofaslightlymadmother.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">musings of a slightly mad mother</a> because it didn't really wow her, but I'm glad she didn't like it now (sorry Kelly!). I had no application problems, dry time was normal, and it didn't seem to show the brush marks as much as some foil finish polishes tend to do. Once it dried, I went in the sun to check out my bling, and I was all happy shaped after that :) it sparkles in the sun and looks lush in the shade. It really does look just like the silver bottle cap, and the freak in me liked that uniformity of that, 'oo look the polish matches the bottle perfectly!' I don't think I would shell out for the full price of this one when there are so many good foil polishes around at the moment, (Color Club Foiled Collection instantly springs to mind) but I am glad I have it, and I'm not going to be swapping it out, its a keeper for me.<br />

There's not much to say about my mani except that if I put both my hands together, tip to tip, I have a Union Jack flag but I couldn't manage a pic without serious peril to my camera sadly! For my polishes I used Nails Inc Bakers Street for the blue, and Nails Inc Villers Street for the red. I used China Glaze Snow for the white. The blue glitter is Pure Ice Strapless, and the red glitter is Barry M. I'm really pleased at how it came out, and I have had lots of compliments so it must look alright to others as well. So, without further ado *trumpet fanfare* I present in honour of you our lovely Monarch, my Jubilee Nails :)<br />

Wow whats this, no posts for ages then two in one day! Well, its way overdue isn't it! Now in my last post you may recall I said my nails today were blinging, and Sally Hansen Purple Diamond is the reason why. Who would have thought this battered old bottle contained such an explosion of holo goodness. I had been wearing Jo'Mina for a day or so, and decided to try this layered over it. I put it on and smiled, and have been waving my hands around in the sunshine like a mad hippy on too much acid ever since. Its a lovely sunny day, and this polish has made me all happy shaped today :)<br />
<br />
This is just one coat over Illamasqua Jo'Mina, and isn't it just the most beautiful thing. It applied really easily, and dried super shiny too which was a nice surprise. I will go without wearing holo polish for ages, then when I go back I wonder why I left it so long. Oh yeah, that's right, grey crappy Winters with no sun, that's why! Well the sun is here today, and has brought my happy holo head back with it. I hope you like it as much as me, I am smitten.<br />

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and my nails are blinging! Oh yeah! First of all I want to show you a fantastic colour, Illamasqua Jo'Mina. This is my first Illamasqua polish and I LOVE it. The colour is unique in my collection and is hard to describe, but best is a contradiction, in that it is a bright pastel. It is a stunning lilac purple, in some lights it is a vibrant paler purple, but in others really bright. Hard to capture as well but I believe the pic I chose is pretty colour accurate. The formula was fantastic and applied like butter and dried fairly quickly. The pic is 2 coats with no top coat and look how luscious it looks. I will definitely be trying some more from Illamasqua, I was impressed with this one, and it has gone straight on to my favourite purples list!<br />

Typical British weather!) but I am ever optimistic and decided to go for a bright neon. Apparently blues and neons are popular at the moment so I'm told, so I went for both. I had China Glaze Blue Sparrow on my untried pile, and thought what the heck, so on it went. I really like it! It applied well for a neon, and dried fast with a matte finish as neons tend to do. It looks a little gritty on the pics but it was no where near that textured to the naked eye, and I left it matte because I thought it looked kind of cool. I know, I am a bit late to the 'mattes' party, but I didn't used to like them, I have been changing my mind recently though. I don't think theres a lot else to say about it really (unusual for me to be not so wordy I know!) so, on with the pic. I hope you like it :)<br />

This is described by the girls at piCture pOlish as a blood red holographic shade. This one needs 2 - 3 coats for full coverage, my swatch pics have 2 generous coats and no top coat. It is a jelly type polish which applied great and dried so super shiny, it is really lovely. Its a lovely vampy rich red with subtle holographic particles which sparkle and catch the light in the sun, and look like a very subtle silver shimmer in the shade. <br />

Peacock. First of all I love the oo err missus cheeky name of this one, second thing, I LOVE this shade. It is an unusual glitter having vivid emerald green glitter in a purple base. I have nothing like this one in my collection, and I love how it looks. The girls at piCture pOlish describe is as 'an emerald green glitter, blue/white sparks with a purple base and definitely needs a top coat to achieve full gloss due to the purple fluro that dries off matte.' I think theirs is a pretty accurate description really, it does dry off a little matte but I actually liked how it looked. For my swatches I applied 2 coats and a dollop of shiny top coat, and it is just stunning. It is hard to capture properly in pics, but the glitter doesn't swamp the purple, the whole thing just works. I have heard others say that the formula was a little thick, and I don't know it if it is perhaps due to a different climate or temperature but mine was fine. It wasn't difficult to work with and was comparable to the OPI glitters I have.<br />

Well, wow, I mean really WOW! If you have seen the Ozotic Elytra polishes, imagine grabbing one of each shade, mixing them all together shaking the hell out of them and putting the results in its own bottle, and you would have this. It is stunning. The girls at piCture pOlish say it is 'multi chromatic particles (every kind we could find) and definitely needs a black/dark base to achieve full effect!'. It has a clear base so is best layered, and who am I to argue with the creators of this wonderful potion, so I used a standard black creme as my base. I then applied 2 coats of mask-a-rade and heard angels sing. I have reached polish nirvana! This is gorgeous and very hard to photograph, so I just took lots of pics and will let you see for yourself. I also took an underwater picture to capture the colours as best I could. The application was trouble free, and the look...swoon.<br />

They have sat in my untried pile for too long, and I was feeling very much like Spring may be springing and wanted a bright colour, and I thought I would finally try this one. I had never tried any of Nails Inc. polishes before, but I am going to be trying many more now I have tried this one! It went on without issue, good formula and colour saturation, and lovely shiny finish before I even added top coat (but I added one anyway of course). That was enough to make me think I may want some more of this brand, but the clincher for me was the wear. I don't know if all their polish is so hardy but this one I had on for four full days, which included cleaning, dog walking, cooking and going to work. Filing and typing typically isn't kind to nails but after four days it still looked good with not a chip in sight, and only minimal tip wear. I could have touched it up and wore it for a few more days no problem at all! How good is that, made me happy I can tell you :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I also happened to love the colour of this one as well. Not quite red, not quite pink, really hard to photograph but a stunning creme, nearest I can think of is a bright raspberry creme, it sometimes looks pink, and in other lights darker almost red. I can't believe it sat untried for so long, its so pretty. I have started to remedy the lack of Nails Inc. polishes in my stash though by joining their VIP program, and by ordering a special offer 'lucky dip' promotion that they apparently run quite frequently, so keep your eyes peeled for those, and for more Nails Inc. posts very soon :)<br />
<br />
Please forgive my dry cuticles, Winter is not a kind month to my hands, and excuse the tip wear showing BUT this had been on for three days at this point before I got chance to photograph it, so pretty impressive I think. I know I know, I should take pics when its fresh on yadda yadda yadda, but life doesn't always give you charged batteries at the same time as it hands you a spare half hour ;)<br />

I haven't been able to find any near me so she snagged me one and sent me it. When it arrived I admit, I may have drooled a little bit, it is such a pretty little jewel. I have been reading a lot about this polish being a fairly good dupe for Clarins legendary 230 polish. Since I don't have the wonderful 230 to compare it with (unless someone wants to send me a bottle, no, really?! Shocker!) I will just post my pics and thoughts about the Max Factor polish in its own right.<br />
<br />
It is a lovely blue based violet purple base, with amazing micro shimmer which changes colour with the light. It flashes predominantly from fiery red, to orange, to green. Turquoise and blue flashes are visible in the bottle but didn't show up on the nail for me, but I don't care, it is one gorgeous little pot of polish! I didn't want to waste any as it is quite sheer so I went for layering it. I searched through my stash and plucked W7 Purple Paradise out, it seemed to be the best match for a base, and I think it worked pretty well. It is a nice polish on its own, but I will visit it again another day for its own post.<br />
<br />
The pics are two thin coats of Purple Paradise, then 2 coats of Fantasy Fire, with a shiny top coat. I kept this mani on for a whole week, I loved it that much! OK I did add a flakie top coat for the last couple of days, but still, a week! Thats a long time for me. So, given that info, yes it wore very well too, went on without issue, and dry time was good. Nothing left to do but bring on the pics.<br />

It does make the glitter pop a lot more, but it is a hungry glitter and this was two rather generous coats of top coat, one being a standard one, and then a fast dry. I have also tried to capture the duochrome colour shift a little more, if you look at the bottle shot in the second pic, it looks more purple than the first which pulls more towards blue. I don't think I need to say anymore about the actual polish, as I also wrote lots in the collection swatches.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the collection swatches, I would also like to take this opportunity to say that the swatches I did previously were a little messier than I would have liked, but please bear in mind I usually post and photograph a full mani which I am wearing, and tend not to do a whole collection in a limited time (not many good light days in winter here!) Plus I am really busy at the moment with my work for dog rescue and have a foster dog in at the moment, so yeah, I don't always have a lot of time!<br />
<br />
Also I have heard mention that some are put off because my middle finger nail is a different length to the others (because it got broke sadly!) not to mention a few other comments that were a little rude to be honest. Well, I aren't going to do squat about it, I am not ready to file all the rest down just for one nail in order to please someone I have never met! I will say however that it doesn't look as unbalanced in real life size but obviously the pics are close up so amplify everything tenfold! Besides, at the risk of possibly sounding rude myself, its just not that important in the grand scheme of things is it?<br />
<br />
Right then, now thats said and done, on with the pics I came here to post :) I hope you like them of course and I take all constructive criticism on board, but please remember this is a hobby of mine, I am not a professional, so lets be kind and play nice OK? Thanks :D<br />

I have been waiting for these to come out and I have been lucky enough to be able to buy the whole set *does a happy dance* ohhh yeahhh! So once the euphoria of having so much new and pretty bling arrive in one bundle, the real test was to see if they were as nice as we have all hoped they were going to be, or is there going to be a major anti climax approaching. I'm sure by now everyone has seen the promo blurb. This is what China Glaze say about these polishes in their PR "This limited edition collection was inspired by the beauty and magic of multi-coloured prisms. Complete with glitter and holographic-like technology. These six icy shades give the appearance of multi-layers of iridescent color. So add this incredible illusion of color to your line up today"<br />
<br />
The PR pics and bottle shots are all very tantalising but they are never true to life are they, so what do they really look like? So far I think they look totally gorgeous, they are like China Glaze said "hey we have a whole vat of fairy dust and a free afternoon, lets mess around". They have very fine micro holo glitter, just like China Glaze Fairy Dust, mixed in with some other colours of micro glitter, and some larger multicoloured round glitter pieces. So, lots of glitter then! Do I love glitter, oh yes, yes I do! <br />
<br />
Want to know a secret? I was a little disappointed when I first opened them, I thought, "oh, pretty glitters but do they deserve the word 'prismatic'?", they were not quite what I had imagined. But after looking at them closer, I am changing my mind. They do have the appearance of multi layers so the PR blurb was right there, but the more I look at them, the more I notice. Things like they aren't holo polishes, but they do have some lovely holo glitter in there but it is more subtle than I had anticipated. A nice touch is that they have a subtle colour shift that I wasn't expecting, which combined with the holo glitter does justify the 'prismatic' part of the name after all.<br />
<br />
So without further waffle, because you will all probably skim the words and go straight to the swatches (which is fair enough in this case!) here they are.<br />

Prism - Pale Purple<br />
Micro holo and purple glitter, with larger round blue, silver, orange, and pink glitter.<br />
<br />
Love it, well it is purple! The colour shift isn't as evident in this one, I think purple is a predominant 'shift' colour. Since this is purple already, then theres no real discernible change. Still very pretty though.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfnxFlY9sm1EVEhEnEtRp_FpZyLupJ6UQ0QdqDQs-mS6syXfAsY3s3fG4zloDiPfF5sTO7qSF5YfSy_1r_uSSaz9S17SLRz2gYSrqGdwSiwqB5jZiIL5HSULnKNsEysJKeahheHTDY0M0x/s1600/DSCF8609.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfnxFlY9sm1EVEhEnEtRp_FpZyLupJ6UQ0QdqDQs-mS6syXfAsY3s3fG4zloDiPfF5sTO7qSF5YfSy_1r_uSSaz9S17SLRz2gYSrqGdwSiwqB5jZiIL5HSULnKNsEysJKeahheHTDY0M0x/s640/DSCF8609.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />

<div>So there we have it, the whole collection for your viewing pleasure. Please forgive the slowly degrading polish clean ups, but it was getting harder and harder to shift all the glitter in between swatches, and of course my poor cuticles look the worse for wear in the end too!</div><div><br />
</div><div>All these pics are 3 coats, the polishes all covered well and the formula was easy to work with. They did dry gritty and a little matte, and all of the swatch pics were taken without top coat in weak but direct sunshine. These were quite hungry when it did come to adding a top coat, but not the worst I have seen. A generous dollop or two of topcoat evened my final mani out nicely and they are now shiny happy nails.</div><div><br />

Yep, a whole week! It wore really well only showing some real tip wear and one small chip Friday. It was my birthday yesterday, so I HAD to change it for then of course, and I chose Ozotic Pro 505 and Ozotic Elytra for that (I will post about that later!) but I have posted that combination before too!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLo5laotVkZcPswtA86nMNGTPTZBi3tes_K0xVMTz5vSpoMtMlVMVWMlRZ8xwFKmBbRGbSx7CeybQM-hSKUlsf4EJQF7ZDln9dgkWDF2-52K6QV9MSHCJp4MBf3U4mYVHKXjDw9p6MIDee/s1600/IMGP2134.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLo5laotVkZcPswtA86nMNGTPTZBi3tes_K0xVMTz5vSpoMtMlVMVWMlRZ8xwFKmBbRGbSx7CeybQM-hSKUlsf4EJQF7ZDln9dgkWDF2-52K6QV9MSHCJp4MBf3U4mYVHKXjDw9p6MIDee/s320/IMGP2134.JPG" width="320" /></a>I really liked this manicure, it kind of reminded me of all those things you could buy in the '80's early '90's with all the sun, moon and stars designs on them. Whole matching bedroom sets of curtains, bedding, lamp shades, rugs, the whole kaboodle! In fact I think I still have some curtains like that somewhere!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Funky Fingers Riot is a fantastic shade of purple, it does fall a little into 'blurple' territory as it is a blue based shade but most definitely a purple though. It is rich and vibrant, and being a fan of purple anyway it doesn't take a genius to realise that yes, of course, I loved it! It applied well with a normal drying time, and didn't present me with any issues. Having applied 3 coats and allowed to dry, I used BarryM Instant Effects gold foil polish as a stamping polish (these are great for stamping!), and went mad stamping away like a demon. I got LOTS of compliments on this, which is always nice of course and a good indicator that it is as nice as I hope, and not just me thinking it looks better than it actually does! Finally a liberal splash of shiny top coat, and stick a fork in me, I'm done. I hope you like it as much as I did, it was so simple to do, but looks so pretty.<br />

I have been a bad blogger, I have loads of pics of manicures but literally haven't had time so sorry to you all and thanks for sticking with me :). Christmas happened, and my birthday is looming very soon and I got a new fancy pants camera as a 'double big gift.' So I am extremely pleased to say the least and now I need to do a lot more reading and learning in order that I can do it justice! So, soon you will be seeing pics from a new and improved camera, but I still have quite a few taken with my good old fuji that I will be posting so there may be a bit of a crossover. All good though!<br />
<br />

I love this shade, it looks initially like a lovely dark bronze foil but the colour itself is made up of tiny foil like pieces, and there is a mix of bronze, gold and surprisingly pink in there giving this a warm tone and an almost multichrome gorgeous glow. It is lovely to look at and I can't think of any dupes for this, so refreshingly something unique as well. It looks like it is going to be a bit sheer when you put the first coat on, but it builds up nicely and this is with three coats, application was like butter and the drying time was good. I like foils and I like unusual, so this one is definitely my kind of polish.<br />

Well I wasn't too sure at first which is why it took me so long to get a bottle, but now I have it I have to say I love it! It is a very classy colour, one of those 'not quite blue' slightly green toned shades, but quite understated and beautiful, and I don't have anything else in my collection that is close to it in colour. It is definitely one of those love it, or hate it colours though judging from the reactions I got, there was no middle ground people either thought it was 'oo gorgeous' or in one case 'eww no thats bloody awful'. The one who particularly didn't like it was my mum, I can always rely on her to give me her honest opinion whether I want it or not! The formula was good, slighly streaky on the first coat but that evened out nicely after the second one. <br />
<br />
Now me being me, I had this on for a couple of days and wanted to change it, but I really didn't have time and thought, well hey I know, I happen to have a Barry M Instant Nail Effects in Gold Glitter that was part of a giveaway I won over at Alice in Lacquerlands blog <a href="http://alice-in-lacquerland.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a> (go ahead, click on it and give her blog some love, I will wait here its OK). I thought the colour combination could be interesting so I slapped on a coat. I'm not a huge fan of crackles in general but this one I did like and I can see me using again. It is a lovely sparkly gold although it does need a top coat to bring it out properly, but thats OK I usually use one anyway. The crackle effect was nice and even, and it was very easy to apply, not thick or goopy at all like some I have tried, in fact it was just like applying regular polish. I liked the colour combination of using it over For Audrey, the two colours went well together in my opinion and it was overall a very pretty manicure. What do you think, do you love For Audrey like I do, or hate it like my mum!<br />

It was sat there twinkling at me from my stash draw, so I had to do a mani with it. I'm sorry Sparkle-icious if I have neglected you, you are indeed beautiful and I love you very much!<br />
<br />
This polish is a clear base with small hexagonal glitter in gold, blue and pink. I would call it Mad as a Hatters gold toned sister, it is just such a fun polish, it reminds me or carnivals and colourful wrapped chocolates for some reason. It makes me smile, and thats a good thing right!?<br />
<br />
The formula was good for a glitter polish, as was the coverage but I have come to expect that from OPI anyway so no nasty surprises. Well, I guess I will put up the pics and let you have an eye full, judge for yourself if you need this! If you already have it, I might have reminded you to show it some love.<br />

Its the reason for these festivities why I haven't posted in a while oops! You know how it is, too much to do, then too much to drink, ah yeah, good times! I was going to do an awesome mani for Christmas day with snowmen and santa's, reindeer and snow, the whole business but alas I just didn't have the time or the inclination to be honest so I just went for good old silver capped bling! I recently purchased this polish from my friend Chelsea who is a master of hunting down hard to find polishes, and her blog and sales pages can be found <a href="http://prettynpolish.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. It is from the China Glaze Kaleidoscope collection of scattered holo polishes, and this beauty is called Sexagon. It is a sexy little silver holographic bottle of polish and unlike the linear holo's of the OMG collection (which I also love by the way!) this one still sparkles away with all the rainbow colours you could want without strong light or sunlight. Awesome, I live in England and its December, days are approximately 3 minutes long and sunshine is something I reminisce about, so this one fit the bill perfectly. <br />
<br />
Sorry about the slightly dodgy pics and cleanup, but its the best light I could find to capture the loveliness of this polish. Taken under my halogen stairs lights with no flash, and don't they sparkle! I hope you like it.<br />

I used Color </span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">Club's Lumin-Icent which is a very pale ice blue foil, and Manglaze's Matte is Murder for mine, as I wanted to do something a little different. It was really simple to do, I used a base of Lumin-Icent and then when that was fully dry, I used low tack tape, to create a diagonal across the nail and added the ManGlaze polish. Then all I did was fill in the lines and dots using a striping brush and dotting tool, and that was it! I finished off with a top coat to seal it all, and then added a Matte top coat, because I think it looks more striking with a matte finish than its does glossy. I am really happy with how this turned out, I will probably do this type of design again using different swirls and colours. I like it, and I hope you like it too :)</span><br />

<span style="color: #ffe599;">Since posting this I have decided to remove the link to this shop, as although I have had excellent service from them in the past, they seem to be experiencing difficulties recently. I have emailed them many times and had no response, and if you check their facebook page, many are having the same problems. Order from them if you wish of course (I have just placed an order myself yesterday, we will see how that goes!) just wanted to give anyone reading a heads up really, and obviously I don't want to link to a site where any of my readers wouldn't get the service I would expect for myself.</span><br />
<br />
Well I just have to share this one, I am not affiliated with this shop in any way but I was kind of excited when I saw the new collection on sale. We don't usually get these new collections in the UK until way after the US so I had a little *squeeeee* moment. Its just a shame I am on a total buying ban at the moment. (Switches to whiney voice) but I neeeeeeeeeeeed them! Ahem, okay well, I can't buy them yet but someone else might want to, so I couldn't keep it to myself. You can buy the entire collection from Nail Polish Direct (link removed by me) with free delivery. Let me know if you bought any, and what you think :) and I would love to see some swatches of these! <br />
