Lynnderella Ruby Red Ruby over a-england Lancelot

I am loving these Lynnderella polishes so much right now, and I hope you all are too.  I am so happy with all the ones I got from Llarowe and Ruby Red Ruby is no exception.

Here is the description of this polish:

From last year’s holiday collection. Looks like foil candy wrappers. Multiple sizes of red hexagons and squares in a sheer red base. One or two coats over your favourite red is the easiest way to wear her

I decided not to follow the advice given here, I am sure it would be stunning over a Red (might need to try it with Perceval...) but I really wanted to wear this one over Lancelot.

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








I love this combo, the blackened red base of Lancelot is just stunning with the ruby red of the Lynnderella.

As always, thanks for looking <3

Nails Inc Kensington Palace

I have a little treat you for all today, a beautiful Raspberry Magnetic polish from Nails Inc.

I am sure you are all familiar with the concept of the Magnetic polishes already, but basically you paint all nails with one coat of the polish and then one nail at a time, do a second coat and hold the magnet over it to create the effect.  I found with the Nails Inc Magnet, the design starts to show on the nails almost instantly but I held it over each nail for a few seconds before moving on to the next one.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Kensington Palace and no top coat (since I forgot to do it for the photos)

I will point out that the first time I wore this polish I noticed the design streaking a bit once top coat was applied but I think I put my top coat on too soon as the second time I wore this polish (this time) I added top coat after the pictures were taken and I did not notice the same streaking.  So you may want to wait a bit before adding top coat with the Magnetic polishes.






This product will be available on the Nails Inc website from the week commencing 23rd January.

Thanks for looking lovelies <3

Lynnderella Funny Money and Illamasqua Rampage

Today I have for you another stunning Lynnderella polish from the sweet Llarowe.

This one is called Funny Money and is from the collection which is also called Funny Money, and here is the description of this below:

The original Funny Money was created in Fall 2009 as an antidote to horrible messages about economic conditions. It contained bar and micro glitters in a blackened green base and bergamot essential oil. Bergamot is thought to promote prosperity and offer protection from negative influences—it smells like sweet orange rind with a green note. The 2011 version is full of green glitters and recycled glitter bits (from Halloween and other lacquers) in a blackened green base and also has bergamot essential oil. Bring on the Prosperity!

I had a bit of a dilemma deciding what to layer this over, and then remembered Illamasqua Rampage, a dark forest green jelly (seen alone here)

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Rampage, 2 of Funny Money and 1 of the Shield







Thanks for looking and I hope you are enjoying these Lynnderella polishes, as I still have a few more to show you. <3

Paul & Joe Kitten Claws (Spring 2012 Collection)

Today I have for you a fairly strange occurrence for me, a neutral polish, a palette cleanser you could call it.

This polish is called Kitten Claws and is from the Paul & Joe Spring 2012 collection.  There are 3 polishes in this collection and also a few other make up products based around the theme of Cats.

This theme is based around the designer, Sophie Albou's, love of cats so all of the products and names, are feline based.  The products are also a celebration of Paul & Joe's 10th Anniversary.  If you go to the Paul & Joe site here and click on the link to the Spring 2012 collection you will be able to see images of the other products. The lipsticks and blusher sticks are so cute and I may even be afraid to use them if I had them and ruin the pretty kitties.

Anyway, here is the polish I have for you, it is a soft neutral pink.  This was the first Paul & Joe nail polish I had tried, I was very pleased with the application, it was opaque in 2 smooth coats.  I was also surprised to find that once the polish has been painted on, it has a slight a floral scent to it.

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





I am not really a big fan of neutral type polishes on me, or pinks really for that matter, but this is a pretty polish but I think next time I wear it I might try to spice it up with some holo or glitter, but that is probably just me, for anyone that likes this kind of colour I imagine this would be just fine on its own.

Oh and one last thing, look at the cute box the polish comes in.......


Some items from the collection can be bought from ASOS but as far as I can tell the full collection is Limited Edition and can only be purchased from stores in London (Fenwick and Harrods).
