Cult Nails Hypnotise Me over Let Me Fly

First I have an announcement to make, we have the winner of my a-england anniversary giveaway, who won through 'liking' Pandoras nails on Facebook.  She has been emailed and has responded to please send your congratulations to.......

a Rafflecopter giveaway

I would also like to thank all my followers, 'old' and new, and hope you all continue to stick around as it is lovely having you here.  I was overwhelmed by the amount of entries to the giveaway, but what can you expect when a-england is the prize.......  And incase you were wondering, I think my favourite a-england just might be Camelot, a true 1 coat black, I wear it so often!!

But now back to this polish.....I have for you today a Cult Nails pretty I realised I hadn't posted about yet when chatting to my fellow blogging friend, Esther of Fab Fingertips.

These pictures were taken a while ago so nails are a little shorter.

This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Let Me Fly, 1 of Hypnotise Me and 1 of the Shield.






There is an amazing sale going on over at Cult Nails at the moment to celebrate Marias birthday, which is running from 07 August to 12 August, and all polishes are $7....with many being discontinued..... so what are you waiting for!!!

Thanks for looking <3 xxx

Dollish Polish Hylian Princess (Zelda Duo) over Cult Nails Enigmatic

Today I have for you the second polish from the Dollish Polish Zelda duo, the first shown here.

Here is how Dolly describes Hylian Princess - Princess Zelda portrays both an air of regal elegance, and inner strength and intelligence and her clothing is a good representation of that. White flowing gown with accents of varying purples and a crown of gold, this polish imitates the same regal appearance and can also be worn as a top coat, or built into a stand alone opaque shade.


I am so glad I picked up this duo!!

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of Enigmatic (which I have still to show you alone), 1 of Hylian Princess and 1 of the Shield.







Cult Nails can be purchased from the official site and Dollish Polishes can be purchased from Dolly or Llarowe.

Cult Nails Captivated and a-england Camelot

I have for you today a random mani I came up with when was trying out Captivated - an orange and gold glitter in a orange/red jelly base -, I was originally just going to wear it alone but decided to shake it up a little.

For this mani I used 1 coat of the Knight, 1 of Captivated, 1 of Camelot over the tips of my nails, then another coat of Captivated and 1 coat of the Shield to finish it off.  As Camelot was painted on freehand and with the bumpiness of the glitter the lines aren't perfect but this was much less noticeable in 'real life' than it is in these pictures.








Cult Nails can be purchased from the official site here and a-england here on the official site or from Llarowe.

Dollish Polish Urban Camo over Cult Nails Let Me Fly

I have for you all today, yesterdays mani post of Cult Nails Let Me Fly but I have added Dollish Polish Urban Camo on top.

Urban Camo is inspired by Call Of Duty, Modern Warfare, and is made up of small glitters in neon green, slightly larger black glitter and then large glitter of Black and White Hexes and also some large Black Squares.  

I must say I have never played Call of Duty but this polish looked pretty enough to buy even without getting the reference, and I am so glad I picked it up.

So here is yesterdays mani with 2 coats of Urban Camo over the top and 1 coat of the Shield.







You can buy Dollys Polishes from her store here, keep an eye on her Facebook page for updates on when the next restock will be, and what shades will be included.

Cult Nails Let Me Fly

Today I have for you all another Cult Nails pretty, this one I picked up in the second 5k sale.

This polish is Let Me Fly which is a dusty turquoise with a silver shimmer running through it.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Let Me Fly and 1 of the Shield.






As with all the other Cult Nails polishes I have tried, I was very impressed with this one, the colour is so pretty and the shimmer just adds a little extra something special.

You can buy Cult Nails polishes from the official site here for $10.

Thanks for looking <3 xx

Cult Nails Seduction over a-england Order of the Garter

Even with the prettiness of Order of the Garter, I couldn't leave well enough alone, I picked up Seduction in my order from the first Cult Nails $5 sale, but paid the normal $10 for it as it is one of the limited edition polishes, and I wasn't going to miss out like I had with Unicorn Puke/Clairvoyant.

I hadn't used Seduction yet and thought I would make a great pair with Order of the Garter, and I was right, the pictures don't even capture how pretty it was in real life but close enough.

Seduction is a sheer purple jelly polish with red/green and blue/purple flakies that shift between the colours.  The red/green colours were much more apparent, maybe due to the blue base of the Order of the Garter.  But the jelly base of Seduction also gave Order of the Garter a little purple tinge.

Here is 2 coats of Seduction over Order of the Garter (shown alone here) and 1 coat of the Shield.







I hope you like this combo and again you can get a-englands from the official site here or Llarowe here.

And the Cult Nails polish can be bought from their official site here, but remember Seduction is limited edition, so don't miss out...

Thanks for looking <3

The a-england polish in this post was sent to me for review.

Cult Nails Living Water

Today I have for you another pretty I picked up during the Cult Nails sale.

This colour is called Living Water and is a dark bluey green jelly polish, with bluey green glitter running through it.

Even though this polish is a jelly, I only required 2 coats for it to be opaque as still seems very pigmented.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Living Water and 1 of the Shield - which even with the glitter in the polish was enough for it to be smooth.






I loved wearing this polish and managed to get 4 days wear out of it before I even noticed any tip wear at all. 

Living Water seems to be sold out on the Cult Nails site at the moment but Maria recently announced the second part of the $5 sale and from this post, it looks like Living Water will be included.

Thanks for looking <3

Cult Nails Iconic

While I wait on some free time to re-swatch all my previously planned posts (or figure out how to recover the lost pictures), you will be seeing what I am actually wearing right at this time, shock horror!  Also I seem to be wearing the one polish for a few days at a time now so this is why there may be a little time between posts.

This is one of the Cult Nails polishes I got in the amazingly generous $5 sale that held a few weeks ago to celebrate 5k followers on Facebook.  Iconic is a berry coloured polish with a gold shimmer running through it, and thats not all, there is also flakies too!!

These pictures were taken with 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of Iconic (I probably could have stopped at two coats comfortably but the third coat gave it a little more depth) and 1 of the Shield.

And here is a new thing for me since you are seeing what I am still wearing....durability, I have had Iconic since Sunday and so far there is no tipwear or chips to speak of!

Anyway, now to the pictures.






I love this polish, I can't stop looking at it!  Between the gold shimmer and the flakies it is so interesting and I love the berry shade of the actual polish too.

Cult Nails polishes can be purchased from the official site here and are priced at $10 each.  Iconic seems to be out of stock at the time of writing this, but hopefully it'll be back soon, but I'm sure you can find some other pretties to tempt you until it is back!

And of course I can't forget to show you all how Cult Nails polishes look when they reach you, here are my 4 burritos.... (they also come surrounded by cotton wool balls which are handy to hold on to for removal)


And I also should note here I was very impressed with the speed the polishes reached me, I ordered on the 7th which was the day of the sale, the order was dispatched on the 14th and reached me on the 21st!  Not bad at all for an international package that was purchased during a very very popular sale!

Cult Nails Toxic Seaweed over Illamasqua Smash

Today I have for you all a stunning limited edition polish from Cult Nails.  I have been meaning to try these polishes for a while but when I seen the beauty that was Toxic Seaweed and noticed it was limited, I wasn't risking missing out on it like Clairvoyant.

Anyway, Cult Nails is a brand that was started by the lovely Maria that runs the blog R3 Daily and Toxic Seaweed is part of one the newer collections, Let's Get Nekkid.

Toxic Seaweed is a green jelly polish, with a generous helping of green and silver square glitter running through it, and also flakies to sweeten the mix.

So without further chatting from me, here is my previous mani of Illasmasqua Smash with 2 coats of Toxic Seaweed and 1 coat of the Shield.





Wow, what a stunning polish!  I loved it over the lighter green but thanks to Jeanette of The Swatchaholic and this post, I need to wear it again, over a dark green and matte <3

You can buy Cult Nails from their official store here and polishes are $10 each.  And if that wasn't good enough, Maria is doing an amazing $5 sale on 7th April as a celebration for reaching 5k facebook likes, please see this post for the rules about this sale.  I need to pick out my next purchases.....

Thanks for looking <3
