Max Factor Fantasy Fire over Dollish Polish Expecto Patronum

I have for you today an unexpected but amazing combination.

I was wearing Dollish Polish Expecto Patronum and the next day was looking through my drawers to see what I could wear next, and I spotted my Max Factor Fantasy Fire, that I have worn before (again these manis were in with the lost photographs) and I decided to see how it would look over a lighter colour.

The purple base of Fantasy Fire turned Expecto Patronum a lovely lilacy colour, and as Fantasy Fire is quite sheer, you could still see the blue glitter through it.  The only thing I did notice, is the green shift of FF was not noticeable at all, this might have had something to do with the lighter base, as I did see it before when worn over a darker colour.

This is 2 coats of Fantasy Fire over my previous mani of Expecto Patronum (shown alone here) and 1 coat of the Shield.

Fantasy Fire is available in Boots and Superdrug and seems to be in stock on both of their sites at the time of writing this, but as far as I am aware this is limited edition and is available in the UK only.  I know even when Fantasy Fire was first released I was not able to get it in my local store or on the sites but thankfully the ever sweet Esther of FabFingertips was nice enough to send me one.

Dollish Polish Expecto Patronum

Today I have for you all another pretty from Dollish Polish, Expecto Patronum.

I have recently received my second order from Dolly so figured should really get round to showing you the others from my first order from back in December.

Expecto Patronum, is inspired by Harry Potter, and correct me if I'm wrong but the first time I remember this spell being mentioned was in Prisoner of Askaban, now I am going on the film timeline here, as even thought I have the books sitting there, I have not managed to get round to reading them yet.

But anyway, I love the HP films, and love this polish Dolly has created based on the Patronus Charm, which is a milky white polish with different sizes of blue glitter, and a very subtle shimmer running through it too.  Looking on the Dollish Polish site and Facebook, Expecto Patronum now seems to have been reformulated with even more glitter, and from pictures I've seen the glitter looks more green than blue.  But in my opinion, both versions are super pretty.

So here you have it, with 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of Expecto Patronum and 1 of the Shield.

Dollish Polishes can be purchased from her site here, unfortunately I think quite a few items are out of stock at the moment, including Expecto Patronum but if you keep an eye on Dollys Facebook page you should get an idea of when the next re-stock will be.  Oh and also keep an eye on Dollys blog, as she will post her own swatches and sometimes also sneak peeks of new shades.

Nails Inc Burlington Arcade - Nail Jewellery

Today I have for you all the very stunning Burlington Arcade from the new Nails Inc line of Nails Jewellery.

This polish is a top coat, which has small and medium holographic particles, and larger irregular shards, and is designed to be worn over any colour to add a little sparkle.  I decided to show you this polish to its full potential, I would have try it over several colours.

So here is 2 coats of Burlington Arcade over a variety of different Nails Inc polishes.  All swatches were 1 coat of the Knight, 2 coats of the colour, 2 coats of Burlington Arcade and 1 thick coat of the Shield.

Firstly here we have Burlington Arcade over Holland Park Avenue (purple), Baker Street (blue), Carnaby Street (yellow, and think this was 3 coats of this one) and Ibiza Orange (orange of course).

Next we have Burlington Arcade over Brewer Street (lime yellow/green) Oxford (light blue), Portman Close (reddish pink) and Grosvenor Gardens (green)

Then we have Burlington Arcade over Holland Park Avenue (taupe), Hampstead Gardens (mustard), De Vere Gardens (dusky pink), St Pancras (dark red).

And lastly we have Burlington Arcade over Berkeley Square (dark grey), Marco Polo House (ink blue), Fitzhardinge Street (forest green), Queensgate Mews (plum).

And there you have it, lots of different combinations to try out, and love how the shards made each nail look slightly different.

I can't wait to try this polish over even more colours, as it think it adds a great sparkle to any colour.

This polish and some of the colours in this post too, can be bought from the Nails Inc site here.  Sadly some of the polishes I have shown you might not still be available on the Nails Inc are some are older shades but something very close may be available instead.

Cult Nails Seduction over a-england Order of the Garter

Even with the prettiness of Order of the Garter, I couldn't leave well enough alone, I picked up Seduction in my order from the first Cult Nails $5 sale, but paid the normal $10 for it as it is one of the limited edition polishes, and I wasn't going to miss out like I had with Unicorn Puke/Clairvoyant.

I hadn't used Seduction yet and thought I would make a great pair with Order of the Garter, and I was right, the pictures don't even capture how pretty it was in real life but close enough.

Seduction is a sheer purple jelly polish with red/green and blue/purple flakies that shift between the colours.  The red/green colours were much more apparent, maybe due to the blue base of the Order of the Garter.  But the jelly base of Seduction also gave Order of the Garter a little purple tinge.

Here is 2 coats of Seduction over Order of the Garter (shown alone here) and 1 coat of the Shield.

I hope you like this combo and again you can get a-englands from the official site here or Llarowe here.

And the Cult Nails polish can be bought from their official site here, but remember Seduction is limited edition, so don't miss out...
