Swatcher - Sally Hansen - Strike A Pose!

Hey ladies!

Today I  have a swatch post for you all today! Been to the Pound shop again and found this Sally Hansen beauty!

It's definitely not a colour that I would use but I got it anyway because Sally Hansens are expensive! And I knew that this polish would bee great for a jelly sammich!

I did a little research and Strike A Pose is from the Prabal Gurung for Sally Hansen Spring 2011 Collection!

The shade is described as an palescent pearl, but seriously when you have it on it like an amazing duochrome effect a kinda bluey-purpley undertone to it :)

You really have to layer this polish on, I have four coats on but to be fair it was worth it. They drying time was quick so I was able to layer on with ease! That's always a plus, right?

Nail line was till visible but that didn't bother me :) 

Here are the swatches!

I have a feeling this polish is more like a topper for plain effect polishes. What do you guys think?!

Stay tuned tomorrow for some stamping on this amazing colour!

Thanks for reading!

Bye for now!

Foil Explosion Stamping - Green Edition!

Hey Ladies!

Today I am showing you the last of the foil explosion by NYC that I have purchased. I'm going to show you how the green one stamps today!

I'm not really happy about how this turned out :( I didn't have a green that was light enough for the foil to show through clearly! So I choose a light brown to stamp over and I didn't like how the stamp shows....it shows the colour green as silver :( wahhhhh....

Either way it stamped perfectly just like the others and I was okay with that... :) now all I need to do is go out and buy a green that is suitable enough to stamp over!

Here it is!

What do you ladies think?! Doesn't it look more silver rather than green?

Thanks for reading!

Foil Explosion Stamping - Pink Edition!

Hey Ladies! 

You all saw my post yesterday, where I showed you how the NYC Foil Explosion blue version stamped! Here I am today showing you how the Pink one stamps! 

Initially I was going to use a simple stamp design and do some curves...Instead I decided to go for something more complicated to really test how these polishes stamp and I have to say I am really impressed! The design I used is so fine and delicate that even other polishes don't work well with it!

This is the design

You  can see its really fine detail :) Here it is stamped with Power Of Elements over Lavender Cupcake!

Ultra crap lighting! Sorry ladies :(!

As you can see it stamped the design really well! What do you gals think!?

Thanks for reading, stay tuned for tomorrow for the green version!

Bye for now!

Foil Explosion Stamping - Blue Edition!

Hey ladies!

Over the next few days I am going to show you a few stamping manicures I did using the NYC Foil Explosion collection :) I have previously swatched these so if you would like to see them in more detail follow this link (HERE) 

I am first starting off with blue :) so I painted my nails with NYC - Ink Stain. It's a lovely deep blue! 

Then I stamped on using Aqua Mystic. Seriously ladies, this stamped on perfectly! The foil colour is so pigmented and really really adds a lovely effect! 

Here it is!

What do you ladies think?!

Stay tuned for tomorrow to see the pink edition of foil effect stamping! 

Thanks for reading!

Swatcher - 2true Glitterati Shade 4!

Hey Ladies!

I have a glitter review and swatch today for you all! 

I'm sure you have all seen the Glitterati collection by 2true :) I have one of them today for you all and its Shade number 4. Would be nice if they had a fancy name, right!?

Anyways, I like this glitter...my nitty picks are that I wish the base wasn't so stinky and it just drags the base colour and makes it patchy :( I suggest painting a layer of topcoat and then waiting about 20 - 30 mins until it all fully dries and then add this glitter on top!

Other than that I love the glitters! It includes small and large hexes in the colours blue and pink! Makes any coloured base pretty :D I have it layered over O.P.I - Mediterranean Moonlight!

Here it is :)

You can really see that this glitter really adds another edge onto the base colour :)!!

What do you guys think?! I really want to get my hands on the other shades!

Thanks for reading :)

Bye for now!
