Dollish Polish Drop. Your. Sword.

I have for you today a beautiful polish I purchased on Etsy from the lovely Dolly of Dolish Polish.

Now first of all, I will start by saying Etsy is going to be my downfall, there are so many talented people on there selling custom franken polishes, Dollish Polish and Nerd Lacquer were the two that caught my eye the most.

I eventually settled on 6 Dollish Polishes (although I can see more of these and also Nerd Lacquer in my future) as I liked the idea of the mini bottles as I never use a full one anyway and also all Dollys polishes are based on films, and many of these are my favourites, one in particular was a tie breaker.....but more on that coming at a later date.

I got the polishes back in December, these arrived in about 2 weeks if I remember rightly, and this was of course with them coming from America during the festive season so I was very happy with this.  They came securely wrapped in bubble wrap and tied in a little organza bag (3 polishes per bag).

Now onto the first one I want to show you, called Drop. Your. Sword. and it is inspired by Buttercups wedding dress in the Princess Bride.  I loved this film as a kid, and still love it as an adult so this one was a must have in my first order.  Drop. Your. Sword. is a pale blue shimmer with 2 different sizes of gold hex glitter....... inconceivable (sorry had to say that at some point during this post!)

The larger Hex glitter was a little stubborn coming out of the bottle, but a bit more shaking before use might remedy this.  But otherwise application was smooth and easy.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Drop. Your. Sword. and 1 of the Shield.







I love this polish!  I love the inspiration for it and I love the finished product.  Dolly, I will be back for more pretties from you in the future for sure!

This polish can be purchased from the Dolish Polish Etsy store here and the mini (5ml) I bought was about £2.50 (if I remember rightly after conversion)  I was stalking the store recently for my next purchase and noticed there are also now 15ml bottles of most colours available.

Thanks for looking <3 xx

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
