Lilypad Lacquer Exclusives from Rainbow Connection

Hi Nail Addicts

My post today is all about my latest haul from Rainbow Connection. I have zero self control when it comes to new pretties on RC especially when its a brand I know and love!

My newest haul contains 4 Lilypad Lacquers which are exclusive to the shop. I have been a fan of Lilypad for a while now so was very excited to learn RC would be stocking them son at 8pm on the release day I was there ready to get my goodies - all us RC addicts are the same!!!

So here are my new beauties -


Obviously I couldn't wait to get swatching and thats what you all want to see!!

So first we have Not Pink -

Its definitely a pink! A hot pink shot through with a blue shimmer and fine holo glitter - a must have for all you pink ladies

Next is Grape Aid -

Now I would call this a royal purple - think crown jewels and its shot through with a red and blue holo. I nearly didn't get this one but I'm really glad the wine persuaded me to!!!

Then we have Violet Beauregarde -
Personally I think the name says it all, it's a violet holo polish! This is such a wearable pretty colour - I know that's a naff description but it is. A gorgeous spring colour.

And finally we have Mint-al Madness -
This one is my personal favourite and it's what made me make the purchase in the first place. Its a beautiful aquamarine shot through with a subtle silver/blue holo. Yes it is mint but that makes me think of toothpaste and I think this colour is too nice to compare to toothpaste!!! I will definitely wear this a lot and all year round.


So there are my swatches. Now a bit of info -
I found these really easy to apply, they have a fab brush and are a great formula - not too thick not too thin. Fast drying with great coverage.

For all of these swatches I used 2 coats of colour and top coat which really made the colour pop.

These polishes can be purchased at Rainbow Connection, here is the link Rainbow Connection but I warn you if you have never shopped there before it is easy to become addicted as there are so many pretty polishes to choose from.

Hope you enjoyed my post - please leave a comment and if you have any suggestions for future posts or swatches/reviews you would like to see please let me know.

Happy Polishing

Barry M Molten Metal Swatches

Image
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

Image
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...

Stamping Decals on my Uberchic Mat

Image
Happy Sunday Nail Girls. Hope you are having a great weekend! Today I am blogging about one of my newest purchases but definitely a favourite. Last week the lovely Sarah of She Sells Seashells announced she had stocked the new Uberchic Mat (plates are coming soon) so I knew I had to get one as I was wary of ordering direct as I know a lot of UK girls have had custom charges and for £11 it was a no brainer! So this mat is silicon and perfect for making decals, testing polishes, comparing colours, swatches and I'm sure lots of other things, Its also safe to use acetone on so easy to clean up but the dried polish just peels right off. So here's what I did - 1st I used my Leighton Denny one for all to paint in the nails on the mat, you can see in the picture where I have polished, This is the top of the decal and means it will peel right off. While they were drying - they need to be completely dry, I got my other bits out. For this I used Fab Ur Nails FUN14 plate...
