Hare Polish Star Tropics

Today we have the only polish I own at this point from a brand that is new to me but I know a lot of people love, Hare Polish.

The polish I have to show you today is called Star Tropics and is a blue jelly base with silver glitter in hexes and squares.

I do think you would be able to wear this one alone after a few coats but I put 1 coat over yesterdays mani of Color Club Williamsburg and love how it looked.

This is such a great polish and I look forward to trying some more Hare Polishes in the future.  What are your favourites?

Hare Polishes can be purchased from Llarowe or from Hare directly and also Rainbow Connection I believe.

Color Club Williamsburg

Today we have Color Club Williamsburg which is a navy blue polish with a great blue shimmer running through.

The shimmer is more apparent in direct light which is why you can see it more in some pictures than others but I wanted to try and give you an idea of how you would expect it to look dependent on lighting.

This is 1 coat of the Knight 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

I really enjoyed wearing this one, and already have a few polishes similar to this, I am thinking possibly Illamasqua Phallic and even a-england Lady Of Shallott but am still happy to have this one in my collection.

This polish can be purchased from Llarowe along with many other Color Clubs.

Colors By Llarowe Army Of One

Firstly I have to start with an apology, this post was initally supposed to be for last night but when I got home from work I had a serious headache so couldn't face writing it.  But I'm sure the pretty polish will make up for the slight delay.

Here is CbL Army Of One which is a green holo polish, this is 2 coats between the Knight and the Shield.

As per usual with CbL polishes, I loved wearing this one, I don't see it right now on the Llarowe site but it is still listed on Harlow & Co.

Cadillacquer Live Free

So today is the last day of my first week dedicated to the one brand.  I have really enjoying trying all these and showing you them and hope to maybe do the same kind of thing with different brands in the future.  Possibly Cadillacquer again as I still have quite a few to show believe it or not.

Live Free has actually been one of my favourite Cadillacquers to date, and was one I hesitated to buy a little, only due too the fact of the light pink base, which is not normally my cup of tea, but there was something about this one that kept making me look when I was on the Cadillacquer site.  So I gave in and bought it and loved it as soon as I tried it on.

Live Free, as I said, is a light pink base with light blue shimmer and brown and blue glitters.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of the polish, and 1 of the Shield.

As with most of the others, this one is also discontinued, but still available in the sale on the official site.

Cadillaquers can also be purchased from the Llarowe, Harlow & Co or Rainbow Connection.

Thanks for looking and I hope you have enjoyed this week with me <3 xx

Cadillacquer Once More, With Feeling

Today is almost the end of Cadillacquer week, hope you all have enjoyed it so far.

Today I am showing you Once More, With Feeling which is a blue base with an amazing reddy pink shimmer and then also white and pink glitters.  I was already wearing Morning Comes and decided to try out Once More, With Feeling over the top of it and was so glad I did.  I have still to wear OMWF alone so may show you it that way in the future.

So this is yesterdays mani of Morning Comes with one coat of OMWF on top and 1 coat of the Knight.

So both of these polishes are on the discontinued list and I know I keep saying this but I am so glad I got them before they are gone for good.  Head on down to the Cadillacquer site to see these and more in the sale at the moment, and so many other great polishes that are not discontinued.

Cadillaquers can also be purchased from the Llarowe, Harlow & Co or Rainbow Connection.

Cadillacquer Morning Comes

Day five of Cadillacquer week, and this was originally going to be the last day as a blogging week for me is generally Monday to Thursday or Friday but I have decided as I still have lots to show you and I am enjoying showing you these polishes so much there will be posts right through to Sunday.

Today we have Morning Comes which is a light blue base, cornflower was the colour that came to mind, with white and periwinkle glitters.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Now you all probably know by now I love blue and this is a great one that I am super happy to have picked up, as again, this one is now discontinued but can be picked up from the sale on the official site.

Cadillaquers can also be purchased from the Llarowe, Harlow & Co or Rainbow Connection.

Cadillacquer Effervescent

Today we are continuing Cadillacquer week with Effervescent which is an orange polish, with white glitter and an amazing blue shimmer which was a tad camera shy but the shimmer really stood out against the orange of the base.  Again this is a perfect example of contrasting colours that compliment each other so well.

This is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Now this another discontinued Cadillacquer polish that I am so glad I have in my collection now.

Honestly there is not one polish that I have bought from Madeleine that I have not been impressed by.

This one is still available in the sale on the official site.

Cadillaquers can also be purchased from the Llarowe, Harlow & Co or Rainbow Connection.

Cadillacquer Have A Little Faith

Day 3 of my Cadillacquer week, how are you all enjoying it so far?

If the polishes I have been showing you aren't enough to make you love Cadillacquers, have you seen her new collection inspired by the PS3 game, The Last Of Us - which is a game I still need to buy coincidentally - these polishes are stunning looking!

But I digress, back to the polish of the day, Have A Little Faith, which is a mauve base with a very subtle magenta shimmer that did not come across in my pictures at all, then there are white, silver and burgundy glitters.  Again this is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

This is another discontinued polish so again I will say this is still available on the Cadillacquer site just now so if you like this one, don't miss your chance.

Cadillacquer Bring On The Night

Today I have another greenish Cadillacquer polish to show you, I seem to actually went through a green phase when buying these as quite a few of my Cadillaquer fit in the green bracket, but anyway, this one is quite different from the one I showed you yesterday.

Bring On The Night is a black base with flakies and turquoise glitters.  Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.  Some of these polishes would have probably been okay to stop at 2 coats but I actually really like the depth of the 3 layers so will continue to use these polishes this way I think.

If I remember rightly, I got this one the a Llarowe sale a while back.

Cadillacquer What The Heart Wants

Today we have another pretty little Cadillacquer polish for you all and I hope you are loving the Cadillacquers as much as I am right now, as I have decided that as I have so many to show you, this week will be Cadillacquer week.

So to start off the week we have What The Heart Wants which is a light green base with gold shimmer and glitters.

This is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Random Picture Time

Today we have something a teensy bit different from me.  I have a folder in my archive and it is made up of pictures of manis that I have maybe one picture that I felt was good enough to use but not enough for a full post but I still wanted to show you them.

So I decided why not just show you a couple at a time.

First we have Picture Polish White Wedding, topped with a-england She Walks In Beauty.

a-england she walks in beauty over picture polish white wedding

Then we have Contrary Polish Creeping Moss which I have shown you before with Dollish Polish on top but it is so pretty it needed to be shown alone too.

contrary polish creeping moss

Now we have Dandy Nails Legal Assassin over Dandy Nails Mighty Fine Print (I still love that there is a nail polish collection inspired by Repo!)

dandy nails legal assassin over mighty fine print

And last but definitely not least we have all 3 of the Dollish Polish Fire In The Night Sky Collection.  In order these are Nothern Lights, Aurora Australis and Aurora Borelis.  I have worn these 3 over black quite a few times, and am a little sad I only have mini bottles of each but here I am showing you how I last wore them which was over Colors By Llarowe Ox, couldn't decide which to wear so decided on alternate nails of each polish.

So how do you all like this kind of post, I still have quite a few manis like these to show off so might try and do one of these a week until the pictures are used.

Different Dimension I Only Have Ice For You

I will today show you the last one I have from what seemed to be the Different Dimension Christmas collection, this is what happens when I get polishes in December and wait a little bit to show you them

I Only Have Ice For You is a holo topcoat but also has silver glitters running through.  I figured I would layer it with a Cadillacquer polish, as with the others, and this combo was great but so hard to capture on camera!  Too much going on I think.

So here is yesterdays mani, with 1 coat of I Only Have Ice For You on top and then 1 coat of the Shield.

Cadillacquer Say The Word

Today we have another gorgeous Cadillacquer polish.

This was actually one of the first Cadillacquers I remember seeing a good while back, and I may have seen others before this but I think this one stuck in my mind as I had not seen many other polishes with such contrasting, but complimentary base and glitter colours.  Upon looking into Cadillacquers further, I see this is something Madeleine is not shy to do, and it always seems to work fabulously.

The base on this one is a pastel yellow base with a silvery shimmer, and has blueberry and silver glitters through the base.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Now my theme of the week so far seems to have been polishes that are not available, and sadly this one has also been discontinued, but at the time of writing this there are still some available in the sale on the Cadillacquer site, so don't risk missing this one if you love it like I do.

Cadillaquers can also be purchased from the Llarowe, Harlow & Co or Rainbow Connection.

Arcane Lacquer White Butterflies

I have for you all today a pretty polish from Arcane Lacquer.  As far as I remember I have shown you one of the polishes from this brand before and really loved that one so was excited to try some more and now I have tried this polish my love for this brand has been solidified.

When I first received White Butterflies I must admit at a first glace without even trying it I thought it looked a little like White Wedding, the Llarowe Picture Polish shade, which is such a great shade anyway, but this one had bigger glitter through.

.....but upon application I realised the polish was much more complex than I initially thought.  It is a white base with white iridescent glitters through it, but also gold and purple micro glitters.  Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Now even though I am happy with my pictures on this one, they just don't seem to do the polish justice!

And I do hate to do this to you all two days in a row but I cannot see this polish being available any longer, but I did see lots of other pretty ones on the Llarowe site.  You can also order from Harlow & Co or directly from Bec herself on Etsy but she only ships within Australia (now I wish I knew someone there as looks like there are a few for a reduced price just now)

Colors By Llarowe Beam Me Up Scotty

Today we have another stunning creation from Colors By Llarowe.

Seriously, Leah Ann makes so many polishes but I have still to try one I do not love, and keep seeing more and more that I need to add to my collection.  Very few polishes makers consistently create such striking polishes and especially with the rate Leah Ann is creating them, she must have one amazing imagination for different kinds of polishes.

But anyway, back to Beam Me Up Scotty, which is a light blue holo polish, and the holo effect in this one was just so eye-catching!  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

Now anyone who knows me know I love blues and this one is right up there with my top blues already.

Unfortunately this one is not available at this time but keep an eye out incase it comes back one day, cos you wouldn't want to miss it in my opinion, but I have sure you will find some other polish to tide you over till them.  You can keep an eye on updated for restocks on the Llarowe Facebook or site.  And don't forget, you can also purchase CbL polishes from Harlow & Co.

Oh and if you haven't already, go have a gander at Llarowes new site, it looks amazing!

Nails Inc

Today I have for you a handful of Nails Inc polishes that I have worn sometime ago but never got round to showing you yet.

These pictures were taken a little bit of time ago and also at different times so my nail length is a little all over the place, I seem to go through phases with my nails with what I prefer so apologies for being so varied here.

Firstly we have London Wall which is a nude polish from the Concrete Effect collection.  This is 1 coat of the Knight and 2 of the polish with no top coat.

NI Concrete London Wall  (1)

Then we have Kensington High Street, which not only is a great creme berry polish, it is a crystal cap which was bought for me by my boss a while back as a thank you for painting her nails for her.  This is 1 of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

NI Kensington High Street  (1)

Then we have Stratford which is a rose gold polish from the Mirror Metallic collection.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

NI Stratford  (1)
 
Lastly we have Upper Brook Street which is a great navy blue shimmer polish, and again another crystal cap from my boss.  Believe it or not this is 1 coat of the Knight, 1 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.  This polish had such great coverage!

All of these, and many other Nails Inc polishes can be purchased from the official site.
