GOSH Holographic Hero and KBShimmer Clown Puke

Firstly I have for you the lovely GOSH Holographic Hero, this is the first GOSH - and only - GOSH polish in my collection.  Hero is the re-released version of the original Holographic polish and I don't own the original so can't compare but the holo in this one was so pretty.

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

And even though this polish is great, I can't leave well enough alone and topped it with one coat of KBShimmer Clown Puke and 1 of the Shield.

Now I don't know about you all but I love this combo.
 
As far as I am aware you can buy GOSH polishes in Superdrug, but my bottle of Hero was gifted to me by my friend Esther of FabFingertips.  You can pick up KBShimmers from the official site, or for international buyers you can shop at Harlow & Co where I got mine.
 
Thanks for looking <3

Leighton Denny Brilliance Nail Treatment Regime

Today I have something a little different for you all, a trio from Leighton Denny, which is called the Brilliance Nail Treatment Regime.

This set comes with a Brilliance Nail Polish Remover, Brilliance Serum and Brilliance Shield.


This trio is designed for dull, discoloured and yellow nails.  Now even with the amount of polish I wear, my nails are normally in alright condition, but I am never really confident enough to wear them in public without polish.

I thought this trio might come in handy for this purpose.  The only issue with this set is that it doesn't come with a leaflet or anything on how the product should be used, such as how often etc.  However, saying this, the Remover is pretty self explanatory, the Serum has a note on the back which advises to apply the serum for no more than 5 minutes then rinsem, and the Shield advises it is a protective top coat.  So this is the order I used them in.

I had been wearing a dark blue polish and as anyone who has worn one knows, these can be a little messy during removal.  I used my normal remover to take off the polish and them used the Brilliance one, I was surprised how much blue was on the cotton wool after this, and my nails didn't look even a little stained.

I then used the Serum and left on for about 5 minutes and then washed my handx thoroughly, and lastly used the Shield over my bare nails.

Now this is something you don't see often but thanks to this little trio I am actually not that uncomfortable showing you this, I even didn't wear polish to work and got compliments on how healthy my nails looked.


So all in all, I was happy with this product and will definetly be using it again.

You can pick this Leighton Denny set, and other Nail Polish products, from QVC and there are a few other types of trio like this one, Bio- Active - for weak and fragile nails - and Hydra-Flex - for dry and damaged nails.

Thanks for looking <3

a-england {New} Excalibur

I have for you all today the stunningly revamped a-england Excalibur.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the original Excalibur, I still wear it quite often...(which reminds me I may need to pick up a back up)... but the New Excalibur is also a stunning polish, so complex.

The New Excalibur is still silver based, but now has a pretty little shimmer of gold through it.

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

As always with a-englands, I loved wearing this one, and plan to again.

It is a great replacement for the previous Excalibur but I also think they would compliment each other really well.

a-englands can be purchased from the official site - if you are in the UK - if you are buying internationally you can purchase from Llarowe or check the a-england site for your local distributor.

Thank you 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
