Color Club Halo Hues Over The Moon

Holo heaven!

After plenty of messing about with the lighting, Mr Posh finally got it right! So it means I don't have to wait until the sun is out to photograph my lovely holos! Let's face it, we don't get much sun in Scotland anyway!

This is part of the new Halo Hues ranges from Color Club and it's a winner. It's easy to use, easy to apply and mega quick drying. I used the Nfu Oh Aqua Base coat, I always do with holos! I only swatched it so no idea if it lasted well. Need to try it again! Think I'm in love!

OPI Get Your Number

This is part of the Mariah Carey collection and it's the blue liquid sands polish.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this. The idea of liquid sand seemed a bit mental to me, but somehow I was also attracted to the idea! As it turns out I love it!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and mega quick drying! So if you are in a rush this is a good one to wear. It's blue matte with the sparkly bits of glitter, strange at first, but totally works. I really couldn't stop staring at the nails. It's not rough at all, kept rubbing them against my face just to check! Lasted really well and it got a few +ve comments from people!

Color Club Wild and Willing

Yah iridescent niceness!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying. It's a range of copper, gold and pink. In daylight it also looks slightly yellow/orangey. It's lovely and lasted well. Love it.

Deborah Lippmann Billionaire

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. The brush is excellent! I'd say it's a very dark green, almost black! Sadly prone to scuffing, not bad though. Didn't chip. Good quality otherwise.

a-england Lady of Shalott

This is a lovely dark blue.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's a very deep, dark blue with subtle blue glitter and very subtle purple/pink glitter (you can just make it out in the bottle pic). Lasted really well and good quality.

Chanel 203 Miami Peach

For some strange reason my husband thought this name was funny!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's very weak, so needs at least 3 coats which I have done. The colour is peachy and coral like with a golden shimmer, that you can make out in the second picture. Sadly this effect doesn't really translate to the nails that well. The polish lasted well.

Butter London The Black Knight

Oh this one looks amazing in the bottle.

And with a top coat *gasp*

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's quite gritty though. It's black with all that lovely glitter in it! I think the glitter is easier to see with the top coat as it adds some shine because it initially dried dull-ish. Lasted well, love it. And decided if my pictures are a lot better, get them watermarked as I've seen a few popping up on eBay listings!

Nubar Precarious Lavender

Not had a Nubar on in ages. Picked this one. It's not really what I'd call lavender! More a rose colour.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. See what I mean about the colour? Hehe thought the label might have been wrong! It's a good quality nail polish that lasted well, but not really my colour. It's okay, nothing special.

China Glaze It's A Trap-eze

This is what I wore for Hogmanay!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. As expected, it's a nightmare to remove, unless you use the tin foil hehe. This is two coats solo but I think it would have looked better on top a white polish. I like all the different colours it has to offer. It lasted well but was quite gritty to the touch.

Inglot 985

I've only recently discovered this brand. Was out shopping and spotted they had opened a store! Rushed in and found nail polish heaven, well almost! This is a gorgeous forest-like green with a subtle golden shimmer.

(You  can just about make out the golden shimmer above ^^)

Studio lighting.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. The lid is nice to hold and the brush is pretty good as it's wide. Really like the colour! Good quality polish and impressed with my first use of this brand. Lasted well.

China Glaze IDK

So welcome to my most expensive nail polish so far, beats The Man With The Golden Gun by a wee bit! Had been after this for ages and decided to get it!

Artificial light.

Natural light.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. I used it with the Nfu Oh Aqua Base coat. It's amazingly holo-tastic and I absolutely love it. Lasted really well. I'm in love <3

Day 24 Ciate Enchanted Rose

Day 24
It's Christmas Eve and I've been up all night - the joys of working nights! So yeah, I didn't get up early. It's the last day and I feel a certain sense of sadness, as this beautiful nail polish journey has come to an end. I'm quite pleased with myself as I managed to post everyday and keep up-to-date with things.

All artificial light.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying. Dried slightly dull, a bit like the last two glitter polishes. This one, however, didn't peel nor was it smelly! I used 2 coats with plenty on the brush, probably 3 would have been better. Again, I wanted to show it solo. Sadly, unlike the other two, this chipped easily. So didn't last long at all. Nice enough and would defo use as a top coat in the future.
