Cadillacquer Cap'n Cook, Pink Teddy Bear and Dollish Polish Welcome to Rapture

I'm back with my first post, and hope its been worth the wait ;)  I was going to come back with the newest a-england I own, as I have already worn that pretty twice since receiving it, but silly me left it in my drawer in work, ask had taken it in to do my nails for a night out.

So I decided to show you another purple concoction to make up for not showing you the purple a-england.

Just a quick note that most of the polishes I will be showing you over the coming weeks/months may be no longer available, or were newish when I bought them but no longer are since so much time has passed.  But that doesn't make them any less worthy of a good show off :)

First, I start with Cadillacquer Cap'n Cook which is a subtle purple holo with a subtle shimmer too.  This is 1 coat of the Knight and 2 of the polish.


I then done my usual go to design when I want to jazz a polish up and I put 2 coats of Pink Teddy Bear - which is a black based subtle holo with an awesome pink shimmer - in a diagonal over Cap'n Cook.


Lastly, I topped the above with 1 coat of Dollish Polish Welcome to Rapture which is a great clear based multi coloured glitter topper and 1 coat of the Knight to seal it all in.



Well I hope this was a good post to pick to come back with.  I got a whole lot of swatching done this weekend but the posts will not be on any kind of regular basis yet unfortunately, but at the same time, I will try not to leave it too long.

I think these polishes were bought from a mixture of official sites and ebay (not for any crazy prices mind you) but my memory is a tad fuzzy on exactly what was bought from where as they have been on my shelf a while.  Unfortunately Cadillacquer is not able to ship internationally anymore *sob* but you can check here for a list of stockists.  For Dollish Polishes, please visit the official site where you can buy from, and it also has a list of stockist if you'd rather.

Thanks for looking and I also want to thank you all for your understanding and support of my last post <3 <3

Cadillacquer She's One Of A Kind and Car Wash

I am actually quite enjoying this two posts a night thing right now, and I hope you are too but I can see it not continuing for too long as it is a lot of work to prepare 2 separate posts after work etc but we will see...

Anyway, my second post actually contains two lovely Cadillacquer polishes.

We will start with the polish that is my base for this mani, She's One Of A Kind from the Seek The Fire Collection.

This polish is just so subtly pretty, it has a light greyish blue base with pink shimmer, there is also a very subtle holo effect to this one too.  I just love the shimmer in this one, it was a little camera shy but kept catching my eye in work today.

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



I then decided to do a little design with another beautiful Cadillacquer polish which is unfortunately a discontinued one from the Breaking Bad collection, Car Wash.  

Car Wash is a dusty blue polish, again with pink shimmer and subtle holo.  This is one coat over the above with a coat of the Shield to seal it all in.



To make the 'design' I actually used simple scotch tape and cut the shape using some craft scissors that I bought a set of with different designs years ago and completely forgot I had until recently.

As I said Car Wash is sadly no longer available on the official site , but She's One Of A Kind is, along with many other.  You can also check out the other stockist such as Llarowe, Harlow & Co or Rainbow Connection

Cadillacquer Better Call Saul

I have for you today a lovely little Cadillacquer I picked up kind of recently, I have so many Cadillacquers still to show you so I really need to make a start with them as I also have more on the way.

Better Call Saul is from the Breaking Bad Collection and I wish I had taken a proper picture of the name as Madeleine has done them in the same style of the Breaking Bad titles.  You can kind of see the name in my first picture though.

Better Call Saul is a blue based polish with a subtle turquoise shimmer and scattered holo running through.  This is 1 coat of the Knight 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

I then decided to jazz this one up with a little stamping with my recently received MoYou plates, the one I used this time is numbered 107 and I used the MoYou Black stamping polish with 1 coat of the Shield to seal it all in.

I feel I still have a long way to go to perfect my stamping technique but I do love how simple it can be to add great detail to a basic mani.

This polish is now discontinued but you can still pick this one up in the sale on the Cadillacquer site so don't miss out on the chance to grab this one!  Cadillacquers can also be purchased from Llarowe, Harlow & Co and Rainbow Connection.

The MoYou plates and polishes can be purchased from the site here and you can follow them on facebook too.

Thanks for looking <3 xx
