Cheeky Polish Gold Digger and Crowstoes Chess!...You Dog

I have firstly a polish called Gold Digger from a new brand called Cheeky.

Gold Digger is unsurprisingly, a gold polish, with a foil finish.  Application was great and the brush is wide so makes application easy. Coverage was also obtained in 2 coats.

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

I had recently managed to pick up Chess!...You Dog from the always great Crowstoes.

Chess is a mix of blue glitters in a clear base - including blue glitter circles!  Now I know quite a few indie polishes now have these but this was my first to try with them and I love circle glitters now.  There are also little black diamonds in there for good measure too.  As usual with these polishes getting the glitter out of the bottle was no problem at all.

This is 1 coat over the above mani with another coat of the Shield.

I was very happy with how these polishes looked together and I hope you are too.

Cheeky Polishes can be purchased from the official site or Superdrug.

Now I normally get my Crowstoes from Llarowe but this one I picked up from the new UK based indie store Rainbow Connection.

Thanks for looking <3

Crowstoes

I have for you all today some Crowstoes photos that have been in my archive for a while, I have been dying to show you them all as I have loved each and every Crowstoes polish I have tried but as these have been sitting for so long, I decided a spam post was the best way to show you them.

So I am not boring you with the same sentence over and over, each picture is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the base polish, 1 of the Crowstoes and 1 of the Shield.

First we have Absolum - Your Potions Master over Enchanted Polish Midnight.

Again I left this to the end as didn't want to just keep repeating myself but each of these polishes is jam packed full of glitter, I have found this with every Crowstoes I have and it is one of the main reasons I love them.
 
You can buy Crowstoes from Llarowe, and the newest collection has not long been released.  You can also now visit Crowstoes on Facebook.
 
I was so glad to finally complete my Alice inspired Crowstoes collection, and then seen there was a new one based on the Cheshire Cat in the new collection so its now added to the wishlist, haha.
 
Anyway, thanks for looking <3

Bondi Blue Skies and Crowstoes Tangled Web

I have for you all today a lovely polish from a new brand called Bondi New York.

I had heard about this up and coming brand for a while through Twitter so was happy to try out their polishes.

Here is Blue Skies which funnily enough is a Sky Blue polish.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Blue Skies.

I then topped this polish with 1 coat of Crowstoes Tangled Web - which is made up of black and blueish duochrome glitters in a clear base - and 1 coat of the Shield.

I loved this combo and always love how much glitter you get even with 1 coat of a Crowstoes polish.

The only other thing to mention is that the Bondi polish could have probably got away with 1 coat if you were tidy as coverage was great.

You can pick up Bondi polishes from the official site or Harlow & Co.  And you can get Crowstoes from Llarowe.

a-england Sleeping Palace

I have for you today the first of the lovely polishes from the newest a-england collection.

I know I had shown you all a quick preview before but here is Sleeping Palace in all its glory.

Sleeping Palace is a dark smokey purple holographic polish.

I could have got away with 1 coat as coverage was great but here is 1 coat of the Knight 2 of Sleeping Palace and no top coat.

As per usual with Adina creations this one was a dream to apply and stunning to wear.

You can order in the UK by emailing Adina on hello@a-england.co.uk until they are up on the site or you can order from Llarowe too.  A list of all the a-england distributors can be found on the a-england site.

Oh, before I go, here is a quick shot of Sleeping Palace with 1 coat of Crowstoes Cheshire on top and 1 coat of the Shield.  None of my other pictures of this one turned out for some reason so here it is.

Crowstoes can also be purchased from Llarowe.

Crowstoes Bunny Slope and Kiko 335

I have for you all today another beauty from Crowstoes, Bunny Slope.

I think I have mentioned before that the thing that drew me to Crowstoes is the Alice collection, but there are so many other pretties, and this is one of them.

Bunny Slope is an interesting mix of white and silver glitters and is dense enough to be worn alone, but I was wearing Kiko 335 which is a stunning blue (almost identical to Baker Street from memory) and thought Bunny would look great layered over it, and I was so happy with the result.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of 335, 1 of Bunny, 1 of Glitter Food and 1 of the Shield.

Crowstoes Polishes can be purchased from Llarowe.

This Kiko was gifted to me by my wonderful friend Esther of Fab Fingertips but you can purchase them from the site or a store if you have one near you.

Crowstoes Triple Black Diamond over Picture Polish White Wedding

I have for you all today a layering that I loved, Crowstoes Triple Black Diamond over yesterdays mani of Picture Polish White Wedding.

I had been eying Triple Black Diamond for a while so was so happy when I finally got my hands on it.  I was a little unsure what to layer it over so that the that black, purple blue and green glitter all showed up, and it is also quite a dense glitter so doesn't necessarily need to be layered, but I decided it would look great over White Wedding.

Here is yesterday mani with 1 coat of Triple Black Diamond, 1 of Glitter Food and 1 of the Shield.

Both of these polishes can be purchased from Llarowe, along with many other Picture Polishes and Crowstoes.

Crowstoes Morticia over a-england Avalon

I have for you all today the first of a brand I have been dying to own for a while, I was so glad when Leah Ann of Llarowe started selling these beauties as before they were not available in the UK as far as I am aware.

The main polishes I wanted from this brand were the ones inspired by Alice in Wonderland, which I will hopefully soon have all of them, but the one I have chosen for you today is inspired by Morticia from the Addams Family.

I loved this one just for the name alone but then when I seen her in real life, wow!  I didn't want to layer her over just black or red as didn't want any of the glitters to get lost, so I decided on purple, so that the red, silver/grey and black glitters in Morticia all showed up.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of a-england Avalon, 1 of Morticia, 1 of Glitter Food and 1 of the Shield.






Crowstoes Polishes can be purchased from Llarowe, and the Halloween Collection is there just now too.
