Hit the Bottle Swatches

Happy Monday everyone,

Hope you all had a fab weekend and monday morning hasn't been too stressful. I have an unplanned morning off as my nephew is poorly and didn't go to school so I have taken the morning off to look after him so I thought I would use the time to do some swatches and a post.

I haven't been buying much polish recently as I have been mainly wearing gel and I wanted to put some money into getting some bits for my business so put myself on a very low buy but I decided stamping polish can be used for work too so these didn't count!!

I actually got my 1st HTB polishes for Christmas and have used them a bit but I never did a review/swatches of them so I thought now I had a few more I would.
Hit the Bottle is an Australian Indie brand that makes 5 free stamping polishes.

So lets get on with the swatches -

My Hit the Bottle Collection
 Looking for Mr Grey is a grey creme and stamps great over black and white.


Lets go to the Peach is exactly what it says...a peach! It has a shimmer to it and again great over black and white.


Electric Indigo is a shimmery purple/blue colour and another fab one over black and white.


I'm pinking of Blue has to be one of the most unique colours I have ever seen because of its pale pink colour with blue shimmer over white its pink and over black its the blue shimmer that shows, both are amazing.


I only really got this one for the name! Oh look its Wine Thirty but its a really nice deep red wine colour with added shimmer (think it will be perfect for autumn)


Pool Party is a blue shimmer - think a perfect crystal clear blue ocean another stunner over black and white.


Psycho Pink is a hot pink shimmer, personally I prefer this over a lighter colour but it still stamps well over black.


Tipsy Grasshopper is another great name! Its an aqua green shimmer and stamps great over black and white.


All polish addicts need this one... I blue it all on Polish is probably my life motto!! But it is a beautiful royal blue shimmer, I love this over black as the shimmer is so clear.


This blue is called Smurf Blood and it makes me ask the question is smurf blood really blue? Well if it is I hope its this colour because I love it, it has a very slight shimmer and again looks great over black and white.


Absinthe Minded is this amazing lime green shimmer and it is one of my favourites because its such a bright summery colour.


And in my mind every good green needs a yellow to go with it! This is The yolk is on you and it makes me think of the center of daisies so I think we can all guess what mani I need to do with this!


Purple Dragon is quite a royal purple shimmer, I love how it looks on black and white so I really think this will be a versatile colour.


Finally I lilac it like that is exactly that a lilac and the perfect lilac for a spring flowers manicure!


I am really impressed with these polishes they have a lovely shimmer to them and there is a great range of colours. The formula is great and could easily be used as a base colour too. I love how they show perfectly over black and white too.

I got mine from Rainbow Connection and I got the smaller bottles which are £4.50 each which is a great price.

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. 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.
