power to purple part 1


Power to Purple part 1

 

Hi There

 

Today I am going to be talking about my purple polishes. This post is in two parts as I have 19 purples.

 

Zoya Stevie; a lavender purple shade with silver glitter. This is a pixie dust polish from the 2013 spring collection. I love pixie polishes and this one would make a great spring/Easter shade.

 

Orly Velvet rope; a deep purple with silver shimmer. This is a mini as my Boots only sells mini Orly’s. This is a great autumn shade and I believe this is part of their permanent line.

 

Opi Lincoln Park after dark; a dark purple almost black shade. This was part of the Chicago collection but has become a cult favourite that it is now permanent. This was my first Opi polish.

 

Essie Bahama mama; a berry purple. I believe this colour is permanent, and is one of my favourite Essie polishes. It looks great on its own or with gold glitter.

 

Nails Inc Bruton Street; a light mauve shade. This was my first Nails Inc polish, this can be wore for every occasion.

 

Butter London Toff; a dark mauve shade. This is a couple of shades dark than Nails Inc Bruton Street.

 

Ciate Fade to Greige; a mauve grey shade. This is my only full seize Ciate. This polish looks amazing with silver glitter.

Sally Hansen Pat on the Black; a dark purple almost black shade. This is really similar to Opi Lincoln park after dark, so if you want a drugstore alternative this might be that polish. One coat and this polish is opaque on its own.

 

Opi Black Cherry Chutney; a purple/berry shade with red shimmer. This was part of the India 2008 spring collection. This would make a great holiday shade.

 

So that is part 1 look out for part 2.

Pretty in pink part 2


Pretty in Pink part 2

 

Hi there

 

This is my second post about my pink nail polish collection. This post has more of the neutral pinks.

 

Ciate Amazing Gracie; a white based pale pink cream. This polish is quite sheer and at three coats you can still see the visible nail line. This was part of the mini mani month advent calendar last year. This polish looks great on its own, I wore it as a French manicure with gold tips.

 

Ciate Hoopla; a pastel pink/peach cream. Again part of the mini mani month advent calendar. I wore this with 17 tropical punch a peach glitter.

 

Opi I Theodora you. A sheer pale pink cream. This was a mini from a set of the wizard of Oz collection. This polish is quite sheer as well and at three coats the visible nail line is still visible. I wore this with Opi I snow you love me.

 

Zoya Rue; a pink/mauve cream. This was part of the natural collection this year. A great work appropriate polish.

 

Opi Don’t burst my bubble; a sheer baby pink. This was also part of the wizard of Oz collection. I wore this with Opi which is witch a silver glitter.

 

New black iridescent pink; a pink polish with silver shimmer. This was part of the advanced ombre cloudy ballet five piece set. I wore this with the next polish I am going to talk about.

 

New black pink glitter; a mixed shape pink glitter. This again was part of the advanced ombre cloudy ballet five piece set. This polish I would use as a topper as it won’t be opaque on its own.

 

China Glaze Dress me up; a pink/brown cream. This was part of the Hunger games collection representing district 8 textiles. This I believe was made permanent to the China Glaze line.

 

New black pale pink; a sheer pearlized pink; again another one from the advanced ombre cloudy ballet set.

 

Barry M Rose quartz; a mixed size neutral pink glitter. A great topper for other polishes. I wore it with Opi my vampire is buff.

 

Opi Silent stars go by; a mixed pink glitter shimmer. This polish is a liquid sand (texture) from the Mariah Carey holiday collection 2013. Being a texture polish this requires no topcoat.

 

So that’s all my pink polishes, look out for purple part 1 next.
