The Complete a-england Mythicals Collection

Wow, 100 followers on GFC, I would just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who looks at and takes an interest in my blog.  I know there are so many amazing ones out there so I appreciate each person that stops here.  My thanks are obviously for you all - GFC followers, Facebook likers, Twitter and Bloglovin followers, email subscribers and even just the passers by.

I have had this post planned for a while but wanted to wait until GFC got to 100 to publish it, as anyone who comes to visit Pandora's Nails will know, I love a-england polishes and have shown each of the Mythicals in at least one post already, but I thought for ease of reference it would be good to have them all in the one place..............I also really enjoyed trying them all on at the one time and creating all the different combos.

I will show you today all of the Mythicals alone first (2 coats), then with 1 coat of Morgan Le Fay and again with 1 coat of Merlin.  The Knight was used as a base coat on all polishes, but I decided not to use top coat of any of them to show you just how sparkly they are alone, so the bottle I am holding is the Shield so it wasn't completely left out.

Incase any of you are wondering, I chose the order of the swatches based on the order of the polishes on the a-england website, which is how they are stored in my case too.  I will also link to each polishes individual post using their name incase anyone wants to look further.

First we have King Arthur, Excalibur, Iseult, and Guinevere.

Then with Morgan Le Fay.

Then with Merlin.

Now we have Elaine, Lady of the Lake, Tristam and Lancelot.

With Morgan Le Fay.

With Merlin.

And then we have Camelot, Avalon, Perceval, Galahad and Holy Grail.

With Morgan Le Fay.

With Merlin.

Thank you all for looking once again <3 xxx

Nubar Polka Dot Collection

I have for you all today, the Nubar Polka Dot collection.

This collection consists of 2 polishes - Polka Dot Black which has a clear base with large black hexagonal glitter and smaller black hexagonal glitter and Polka Dot White which also has a clear base and large white hexagons and smaller almost holographic hexagons.  Application was fairly easy, although some of the larger dots did require slight repositioning with the brush to spread over the nail fully.

I decided to try these firstly over black and white polishes to get a monochrome effect.

So first here is Polka Dot Black.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Nails Inc Floral Street, 1 coat of the Polka Dots and 1 coat of the Shield.

Next we have Polka Dot White.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of a-england Camelot, 1 of the Polka Dots and 1 coat of the Shield.

Then I went a little bit layer happy and decided to try something else out.  I wanted to try both dots over a grey, I needed a mid toned grey so both sets of dots would show up, so I chose Nails Inc London Sky.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 coats of London Sky, 1 coat of the Black Dots, 1 coat of the White Dots and 1 coat of the Shield.  Whew, thats a whole lot of layers!

I love these Polka Dot polishes!! I cannot wait to try them over all sorts of different colours to see what they look like.

What do you think of this collection?  Will you be picking any up?

Thanks for looking as always <3

The Nubar polishes in this post were sent to me for review, all other polishes were purchased by me.

17 Magnetized - Green

I couldn't quite bear taking Lizard Belly off yet so had a look through my photo archive and found this one which I hadn't shown you yet, not sure why, but anyway.

I bought all 4 of the 17 Magnet polishes in Boots a few weeks back I think it was and after trying a different colour on each nail to get the hang of it, the first full mani I done was with the green one.

This was my first experience with magnetic nail polish so took a bit of trial and error before I got it right, but the actual use of the magnet was pretty easy.  I done 1 normal coat of the polish on all of my nails and then left to dry and then done another coat of the polish one nail at a time, holding the magnet over the nail while the polish was still wet to create the effect.  The cap has a handy lip to rest on your cuticle to avoid you bumping your nail with the magnet.

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

Have you tried any magnetic polishes yet, how do you find them?

Thanks for looking <3 xx

Glitter Gal Lizard Belly

I have an amazing polish for you today that I got from the lovely Leah Ann of Llarowe.  I received an outstanding parcel today full of beautiful looking polishes but Lizard Belly was first on my list to try, but I must admit it was a hard decision to narrow it down.

Lizard Belly is a deep green linear holo polish, which goes on smooth and there were no issues with application at all.  I can't comment at all on wear yet as I have only just put this polish on about an hour ago but couldn't hold off sharing it.

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

I know, right, what a beauty!  I cannot wait to try some more of these polishes!!

You can buy this and other Glitter Gal polishes (9ml) from Llarowes website, which is based in the US but does ship Internationally, shipping is fairly quick, my package was sent on 20 October and I received it today.  Llarowe also stocks some other amazing polishes including - my favourites - a-england as well as Ozotic, HITS and Picture Polish and Leah Ann is such a sweetie too <3 

Thank you for looking and feel free to leave me a comment xx
