Pretty in pink part 1


Pretty in pink part 1

 

Hi there

 

Today I am going to be continuing with my nail polish collection by colour. I was surprised that I have so many pink polishes that I’ve had to split this post into two parts.

 

Essie Romper Room; this is pale baby pink cream. This polish was part of the spring 2014 collection. This polish requires 2 coats as it is a bit streaky. It’s a great work appropriate polish.

 

Essie Cute as button; this is a bright hot pink cream. This was part of the summer 2009 collection. This polish is a great summer bright, either on its own or with gold glitter.

 

Mavala Sweet; a pink neutral tan cream. This polish, I believe is part of their permanent line. This would make another great work appropriate polish.

 

Mavala Velvet; a pink/mauve cream polish. This polish is opaque in 2 coats. I have worn this on its own and with a silver glitter.

 

Nails Inc Shoreditch; a magenta pink cream. A great summer polish either on its own or with gold glitter.

 

Orly Rage; a rose gold cream with silver shimmer. This was my first Orly polish. This would look great with a pink glitter, for maybe Valentine’s Day.

 

Illamasqua Scarce; a light pink with black glitter. This is a speckled polish, giving the look of a bird’s egg. This was part of the imperfection collection but is now permanent. A great Easter polish.

 

Ciate Main stage; a radiant orchid cream. This was part of mini mani advent calendar last year. I wore this on its own and with an accent nail of Ciate cupid’s arrow caviar pearls.

 

So that’s part 1 look out for part 2.

Go for green


Go for Green

 

Hi there

 

Today I am talking about my green nail polish collection. I have six polishes to talk about so let’s get started.

 

Butter London Wallis; a light green gold metallic. This was my first Butter London polish. This is such unusual polish and quite unique in my collection. Butter London is available in larger Boots stores and online at Bath and Unwind.

 

Zoya Vespa; a light green pixie dust. This polish came out in the pixie dust spring 2013 collection. If you are not sure if you’d like green polishes this would be a great one to try. All pixie dusts require no topcoat.

 

China Glaze Argo; a medium forest green metallic with green shimmer. This was part of the hunger games collection, representing district 11 agriculture. This collection was a limited addition. I got mine from Amazon.

 

Zoya Veruschuka; a forest green matte polish with silver shimmer. This was part of the matte velvet collection. This would make an amazing Christmas polish. To get the best out of that silver shimmer add a topcoat.

 

Zoya Yara; a moss green polish with gold shimmer. This was part of the mirror collection. This polish is opaque in 2 coats and would make a great party polish.

 

China Glaze Smoke and Ashes; a dark green almost black cream with a ton of green/gold/blue shimmer. This was also part of the hunger games collection, representing district 12 mining.

 

Well that’s my green nail polish collection look out for pinks part 1 next.
