Candy Lacquer Modern Love

Hi guys, today I'm showing you an awesome indie polish by Candy Lacquer.

This is Modern Love, it's got black and white bar glitter, black and white diamonds and squares, black and white small glitters and white heart shape glitters. 

I layered this over OPI Ate Berries In The Canaries.

This is two coats of Modern Love over two coats of OPI Ate Berries in the Canaries. You do have to dab the glitters in the right spots to get even coverage accross the nail, and even then it doesn't always work out (see my ring finger). The problem with this is that you get an uneven coverage of the lacquer base which makes it even chunkier and can cause bubbles. You also have to fish out the heart glitters which is a pain. Also, I can't hear any balls in the polish when you shake it, there could be one, but for this kind of glitter, you really need at least two to break up the glitter. I suggest standing this on its head for a while before using it. 

Candy Lacquer is available from Candy Lacquer Etsy Shop for $8 per 15mL

OPI DS Fantasy

Hi guys, today I'm showing you one of my favourite polishes! This is OPI DS Fantasy. I often don't wear this one because my bottle is always really hard to open, and it does stain :(

 Despite this, it is STUNNING! It is completely opaque in one coat and it's super smooth.

It's a super deep sapphire/navy blue with a very complex deep shimmer and some super subtle pismatic effects, but deffinately not holographic.

Unfortunately, Fantasy is discontinued and going for some hefty prices on eBay, ranging from about about thirty to sixty dollars a bottle :S

Essie Turquoise & Caicos with As Gold As It Gets: Inspired by Orsay from Sigma

Hi guys! I mentioned in my Sigma Paris Palette review that I NEEDED A nail polish in the colour Orsay. Well today I thought I'd try an replicate it!

I used Essie Turquoise and Caicos which is the prettiest colour, but I don't use it often because I have other turquoise polishes with a nicer and more opaque formula. This is two super thick coats. I then used one coat of Essie As Gold As It Gets from the Luxeffects collection.

And here is Orsay:

 Obviously it isn't exact, but close :)

A-England Lady of The Lake: Swatch & Comparison

Hi guys, so the sun finally came out today!! So I'm going to show you A-Englands Lady of The Lake!

Lady of the lake is a blue toned purple with a sight dustyness to it with a subtle holographic effect!

And in the shade.

I also decided to do a comparison shot for you guys!

On the Left is Nubar Treasure, Middle A-England Lady of The Lake, Right Color Club Wild At Heart

To me, the closest is Color Club Wild At Heart. I'm torn between which I prefer, the Color Club is much more holo and has this sort of inner glow I find really beautiful, it is also a lot more opaque than the A-England. However, The A-England's dustyness and cooler tones make it much more flattering on my skintone.

A-England polishes can be purchased at A-England.co.uk for £9.00 which as of today converts to just over 13 Australian dollars and  just over 14 US Dollars. A-England also have free international shipping.

Alternatively, A-England can be purchased from Llarowe for $12 USD plus postage and handling, which is still pretty reasonable. 

China Glaze On Safari Collection: I'm Not Lion

Hi guys, today I'm showing you another polish from the China Glaze On Safari collection.

This is I'm Not Lion - such a cute name hehe.

I'm not Lion is a pale gold glitter with holographic particles. It looks like its got some silver glitter in there too. I used three coats, but two would probably have been fine. I did double up on the topcoat, but it isn't an extremely hungry glitter.

China Glaze DV8 & Nail Polish Ring!

Hi guys, today I'm showing you one of my alltime favourite polishes!

China Glaze DV8 from the OMG collection! I used two easy thin coats for this teal holographic goodness!

 I'm also wearing this awesome nail polish ring I got from etsy. This was made with Bandeau by Urban Outfitters (I'd never heard of this, but I think I need it!) and OPI DS Shimmer.
