Top 4 RC Purchases - Purple

Happy Easter Everyone,

Hope you have all had a huge amount of chocolate and are having a nice long weekend.

I am back with my Top 4 RC purples today and actually I found this one quite difficult because surprisingly I don't seem to own that many purples! Now I'm sure your all expecting to see Berry Good Looking in this post but I am saving that for something else but there are some very special polishes in this post.

So here they are -



1st up from Glam Polish is a store exclusive from last summer. Amethyst Dusk is a pretty Lavender purple with a blue shimmer. I was actually on holiday when this was released and I had to make sure I had Wi-Fi at 8pm to get this before it sold out - I'm a dedicated RC junkie!! Sadly this has now sold out but it's still a stunner.

This is an extra special one too because it had been on my wish list for a long time and just before my 30th birthday I gave my dad a list and just put Any Bear Pawlish and because he clearly knows my tastes so well this was one of my presents. Flear de Lis is a deep purple/blue holo -Dad did good!!

 Also for my 30th good ol' Dad got me my 1st ILNP. Charmingly Purple is a lovely Lilac holo. Very pretty and very easy to wear. I have to be honest this isn't one I would have chosen for myself so I am really glad my dad did because I love it and I am very lucky to have a dad that will feed my addiction!

Finally is this stunner from Grace-Full polish. Beam me Up is from the For the Love pf Grace trio which was a tribute to Theresa's daughter - I have a blog post on this collection here For the love of Grace It's a royal purple holo and I think the story behind this is as beautiful as the polish itself,


And there are my favourite purples, I think I love these even more because there is a story behind each of them.
Do you own any of these? What are your favourites? I would love to know so please leave me a comment below.

Also I'm sorry these pictures aren't my best I don't know what was going on with my lighting!!

Remember you can get your purple indies here at www.rainbow-connection.co.uk
and be sure to follow them on Instagram for more swatches and releases and if like me your a real RC addict come and join our fantastic facebook group - RC Junkies.

Enjoy the rest of the Easter Weekend and I will be back very soon.

Love and Polish

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

It's a new week and I hope you all have some gorgeous manicures planned. I was meant to post this on Friday but things got in the way but at least I am posting!! 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. These are the most amazing sparkly products that can really bling up a manicure, they are fab so today I'm going to show you how I use them with gel polish. 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. The 1st step is the same for all of the products I prepare the nail for gel application - tidy cuticles, cleanse nail then apply base coat and 2 coats
