Shimmer Polish Strength over a-england Iseult

I have for you today a very special post dedicated to my sweet friend Leah Ann.

Sadly, today is the one year anniversary of the passing of Leah Anns mother, and my heart goes out to her on today and all days.

This is a combo that I wore recently and when Leah Ann mentioned on Facebook that her mothers favourite colour was pink, I just knew I had to post this.

The pink comes from the base colour of a-england Iseult, but the top glitter also has a meaning here.  It is a Shimmer Polish, notably called Strength, which Leah Ann will need to get through this tough time.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Iseult, 1 of Strength and 1 of the Shield.

I loved this combo when I wore it, and I hope Leah Ann does too.  Thinking of you sweetie <3

a-england {New} Holy Grail

I have for you today a pretty polish I have been meaning to post for a while now.

Anyone who visits me here knows how much I love Adina and her stunning creations so it will be no surprise that the one I have to show you today is no exception.

The old Holy Grail was a stunning gold polish, so much so I have a back up of it for when it is no longer available, but the new Holy Grail take it one step further into stunning being a gold polish with hints of bronze, copper and even green.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Holy Grail and 1 of the Shield.

Frankenstine Polish Lydia

I have for you today the first of a few Frankenstine Polishes by the lovely Christine and I am excited to show  you these.,

The one I decided to lead with is Lydia which is inspired by Lydia from Beetlejuice, one of my al time favourite films.  I swear I don't even know why I watch this movie still as I could recite it word for word.

But anyway, Lydia is a red jelly polish with black glitters through it.  As always with me, I had to layer this but I'm sure it could be built up alone with a few coats.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 1 of a-england Perceval, 2 of Lydia and 1 of the Shield.

Lush Lacquer Midnight Affair over Kiko 399

Sorry for the brief absence, I have been unwell the past few days and only just feeling a bit better.

So I have for you today another of the Lush Lacquers from my order with them, Midnight Affair which is a mix of red, white and black glitters in a clear base.

I layered it over my previous mani of Kiko 399, this is 1 coat of Midnight Affair and 1 of the Shield.

You probably noticed the little red bit of bar glitter sticking up, and as far as I remember this was actually the only bit I noticed doing this in the whole mani.  I ended up cutting it with nail scissors so it didn't snag.

All and all though I loved this combo!!

Kikos can be purchased from the site or a store if you have one near you.  And Lush Lacquers from Etsy but or Llarowe and Harlow & Co.
