CBL Fall 2015

Hello Lovely Ladies.

Now I am going to hold my hands up now and say "I am a Nail Addict!" This week I have received a lot of polish and I'm already planning my next lot of orders!!!

But when I show you what I got you will all understand why.
My favourite Indie brand released its latest collection on good old Rainbow Connection on Saturday and after a lot of time debating which 3 i would get - I was only allowing myself 3, I settled on 5 (there may have been wine involved!) and a top coat.



So here they are -

Rare Orchid -
This is a purple/pink holo - my sister said Raspberry. It dries slightly matte but is supper shiny with a top coat.

Rain -
A bright blue holo - I think peacock or cobalt blue. This is the same finish as Rare Orchid so I definitely recommend a top coat.

Memories of You - 
A silver/grey holo with a pink undertone. This made me think of a misty winters morning. Again it has the same finish as the 1st 2 so top coat!

The Fallen - 
A pinky, purply, redy jelly holo with copper/gold flakies and a copper shimmer. I thought the name was perfect for this as it reminded me of leaves when they fall off the tree, its a very autumnal colour.

Aubergine Dreams -
Well I think the name says it all. Its the most beautiful deep purple holo. I absolutely love it but it was so hard to get a good picture so I have 1 with flash and 1 without.
 No Flash
Flash

I also got the CBL PDQ top coat - 
I thought this dried to a high shine and was fast drying. It really made the holo in all the polishes pop! I cant comment on the durability as I've only had on for a day but so far so good and my nails feel protected.

So there are my swatches - Which is your favourite colour?

All of my swatches were 2 coats plus the pdq topcoat
All pictures were taken with a flash except the one mentioned.

As with all CBLs easy to apply, great formula and fast drying. I got perfect coverage in 1 coat of all but the fallen but jellies normally need more BUT i always recommend 2 coats to get the true depth of colour.

These were from www.rainbow-connection.co.uk

Barry M Molten Metal Swatches

Hello Again, Today on my blog I have swatches of the 5 new Barry M Molten Metal polishes. I never tried the original 4 which were released last year but I decided I liked the look of these so would give them a try. I got them on 2 for £7 from Boots but they are also available from Superdrug (I will leave links below) Barry M are probably my favourite high street brand and I like a lot of their finishes and different effects. What I also loved about these are the big, flat brushes because I really find they help get an even coat across the nail in minimal brush strokes. As with all the Barry M polishes I have tried I couldn't find any fault with the formula - they applied like a dream, I'd forgotten just how much I like them if I'm honest - they are just as amazing as some of my favourite indie brands. So the swatches - Blue Glacier - Well you must know me and blues by now and this one has definitely got the thumbs up from me! I think the name sums it up perfect

Poundland Make Up Gallery Nail Polish

Happy Sunday Nail Lovelies. A few weeks back I was in Poundland and I thought while I was there I would grab a few polishes and bits to review, for £1 each I thought i'd have a try. I settled on 3 of the pastel creme colours, a glitter, the base/top coat and a cuticle oil so in total £6 which is less that 1 of my favourite indie polishes! I started by applying the glitter to my little and index finger - I did this over a peel off base coat because I hate glitter removal! Peel off bases are amazing invention, I am currently using the Miss Sporty one which I have found pretty good, I don't really have the same polish on for long enough to do a good wear test though! Anyway the glitter I chose was a clear/silver holo, very pretty and very sparkly and I did like how it looked over my peach acrylics. I used 3 thin coats to build up a decent coverage, it wasn't full coverage but it was enough for me. If you wanted full coverage I would build it up with a sponge. I thi

I will get on top of my blogging schedule soon...I promise!! So as a nail technician I like to use lots of different products and currently one of my most popular is Magpie Beauty glitters and dusts.

I am going to show the application technique for glitter, dust and pigments. Here are the products I am using -  Gel Polish in Black, White and Pale Green  Magpie Products - Dust - Olive, Glitter - Eartha, Pigment - Izzy I only used my applicator and duster brush but I also have the detailer brush.
