I entered a Colours by Llarowe competition on Facebook last month not for a minute thinking I would win. Six lovelies from their new collection arrived a few weeks ago and I was stunned to say the least as I never win anything. This is the first polish I swatched. Lucy I'm Home is a beautiful holo coral with a mega sparkle in the sunshine. These are my first cBLs and I shall be adding more to my wish list.
It is a beautiful spring day here today so to celebrate that the recent cold spell is coming to an end I give you Trafalgar Road from Nails Inc topped with a coat of Essie Pure Pearlfection to give it a lovely subtle shimmer. This gorgeous fresh apple green shade is from one of Nails Incs latest QVC collections and is a must for pastelly springlike nails.
Today's offering is from my newly acquired stash of Butter London polishes. I discovered this brand completely by accident but absolutely love the colours and the formula. With names such as Snog, Slapper and Lady Muck these polishes always raise a smile too. This stunning blue is called Blagger and is a denim kinda blue which is going to be perfect with the autumnal greys, chocolates and russets that are hotly tipped to be big this season.
More from this brand later in the week as I have lots more colours to try out.
I've not blogged for a while but as I'm on leave for the next fortnight I'm hoping to go back to my daily offerings.
Sticking with the Dutch collection from OPI we have Gouda Gouda Two Shoes which is a beautiful rose colour with a subtle gold shimmer running through it.
After adding a few if this collection to my stash I have noticed that they all have a shimmer running through them which is perfect for me as I inevitably end up adding some sparkly topcoat to any solid creme polish I use and with these I don't need to.
What I absolutely love about this colour is that it will look fantastic on any length nails and it is such a great colour that goes with pretty much.everything.
I promise to move on from Holland tomorrow and give you a taste of something a little bit closer to home.
I will admit to redoing my nails less than 24 hours after the last post after seeing this combo on a group I belong to. I'm not a patient person at the best if times but I could not wait to try this.
Haymarket is one of my all time favourite greens and I haven't worn it for a while so thought I'd dig it out again. Teamed with the gorgeous Electric Lane Holographic Topcoat it is simply stunning.
As you can see from the bottle Electric Lane is a blend of super fine holographic glitter suspended in a clear gel and looks beautiful worn over just about anything. Add a coat of Kensington Caviar Topcoat and you're good to go.
Todays offering is the summer bright I've been promising, with a bit of added bling. Using Nail Inc Shoreditch as the base colour which is a vibrant bright pink and is the ultimate girly pink IMO, I then added one coat of OPI I Lily Love You which as the close up below shows, is a mix of fine and chunky multi coloured glitter pieces suspended in a pink gel base.
Whilst I have only ever worn this over darker colours (it looks stunning over black) I do love the slightly more subtle look over a complimenting pink shade. It changes as it catches the light and is uber sparkly. Definately one for the party season.
