Illamasqua Phallic

Now this is an Illamasqua polish that I love, it drew me in as soon as I seen it, I love blue (like you didn't notice already :p) and shimmers so this was a win win for me before I even got it on my nails.

But amazingly enough I loved it even more once I did get it, Phallic is a deep midnight blue but it also has a lighter blue shimmer through it.  Application was hassle free, same as all the other Illamasqua polishes I have tried to date.

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

Thank you for looking and I may even have some festive nails coming up over the next couple of days, we go to my Mums on Boxing Day for dinner and her Christmas themed colours are, as always, red and gold, I wonder what I can do with these two colours......xxx

Urban Decay Graffiti

Today I have for you a lovely polish, that is sadly no longer available through Urban Decay, but you can normally come across it on ebay, as I did.  I always have an eye on ebay for ones I don't have as I love the older Urban Decay polishes, I have no idea why they stopped making them as I have never tried one I don't like and the colours are amazing.  I have 9 (I think) in my collection but have only shown you one before now but will try and remedy that.

Anyway, today I have for you Urban Decay Graffiti, it is a baby blue polish with an amazing lilac duochrome shift.  It goes on pretty sheer at first but I was able to build it up with 3 coats, I need to try layering this one at some point as I think the purple shift would show up even stronger this way.

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

Thank you for looking <3 xx

Nails Inc Heavy {Holo} Metals Collection

I have already shown you the Heavy Metals collection alone, but here they are again and they are now made holo thanks to Nails Inc Electric Lane holographic top coat, which creates a scattered holo effect.

I got my Electric Lane a few weeks ago but had not had a chance to use it yet, and when I was wearing the Heavy Metals I thought the holo over the metallic might have a nice contrast.

All pictures were taken using 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the Heavy Metal, 1 of Electric Lane and 1 of the Shield.

First here is Downing Street.

Next we have Old Park Lane.

Lastly we have Regent Street.

I love the effect Electric Lane creates, the scattered holo particles create a rainbow of colours even in lower lighting.

The Heavy Metals collection and the Electric Lane top coat can both be purchased from the Nails Inc website.

Thank you for looking. xx

The Heavy Metals Collection was sent to me for review, Electric Lane was purchased by me.

Glitter Gal Black Sparkle

This is a polish I have had for a little while, I got this in my first package from the wonderful Leah Ann of Llarowe and I have worn this at least once since I got it, but for some reason did not photograph it for a post.

Anyway, Black Sparkle is from the Glitter Gal line but is a scattered holographic rather than a linear.  The holo particles in this are also irregular shaped so creates a unique look.  Application of this polish was great and even with the sparkles, it is smooth even without top coat.  This polish is also very opaque and 1 coat would suffice for full coverage.

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

This polish can be bought from Llarowe on her official shop  and you should also drop by her official Facebook page to see some other wonderful swatches and chat with Leah Ann and all the other great ladies there xx
