Barry M Silk Collection

In the picture from left to right: Blossom, Pearl, Truffle, Meadow, Mist, and Heather.

Barry M says:
Silk's beautiful matte sheen gives nails a luxurious, chic finish. In a collection of pretty pastel shades inspired by nature, it's the perfect polish for a fresh take on Spring.

Just spotted these at Boots, and they are £3.99 ea.

At first glance I am not overly impressed with this collection, and the colours are much the same as the Gelly polishes just with a pearlecent sheen to it. 

Have you tried them, or are you going to buy them? 

Let me know in the comment section below.

W7 - Space Dust

W7 - Space Dust, is another polish from the Space Collection.
As you know I have previously shown you Space Debris.

W7 - Space Dust is a teal based polish with micro glitters. It looks a little more teal than I managed to capture on camera, the pictures makes it look a bit more blue.
England isn't always that sunny, so this was taken on a cloudy day. It happens. I am thinking about investing in a daylight lamp and a light-box. Would you recommend it?

I am getting a visitor over from the South, and she is staying for a couple of days. I am looking forward to see her again, haven't seen her since her wedding. So is going to be great to have her staying.

W7 - Cosmic Black

I have now added a widget to the right here ----> so that you can follow me on G+ .

Hi everyone. Today I have another glitter swatch. W7 - Cosmic Black, a close-on dupe for the Illamasqua - Creator (Generation Q collection).  Cosmic Black is a black jelly with tiny silver glitter that dries to a semi-matte finish. 

This is not a new polish as all, last time I heard anyone mention it, was probably 4 years ago. I have never found it in a store, until quite recently, when my local Factory Outlet added a huge load of W7 polishes. I think it's cause I have bought all the good polishes they had, and they needed a restock. Seriously (?!) my Factory Outlet is amazing, I have found so many polishes there. Like couple of weeks ago, I found OPI - Spotted (only £6 ea). It's epic. 

As always I use PVA glue underneath the glitter to make it easier to remove it later. I mixed it in a 15 ml bottle and added about 2 ml with water. If you are interested in seeing my post where I first tried PVA glue for glitter removal, the post is here. 

Let's get over to the pictures. Let me know what you think in the comments below. 

Is there still room for W7 - Cosmic Black in the polish world?

There is so much silver shimmer going on here, it's amazing.

IsaDora Sugar Crush - 108 Wine Crush

I am on a roll on these sugar crush/coat polishes now a days.
Today I bring you Wine Crush by IsaDora. It's purple, pink, brown and golden, it's shiny and sooo pretty!

I  am so glad it's almost weekend, it feels like this week as been going on forever. Luckily, next week is going to be busy busy busy. I got a photoshoot booked, and it's been a year or so since I last did some modeling, so it's great to be back to doing that again. I am also meeting up with some cool people that is going to show me the town I now live in. Time to learn where all the good shops are, where to go dust-hunting for polishes etc.

Back to the world of polishes, here is Wine Crush:

Sally Hansen - Sugar Coat - Sour Apple

Today I have a swatch out for you from the Sugar Coat collection by Sally Hansen.
This is Sour Apple, a minty green polish.

I bought three Sugar Coats from Sally Hansen here the other day. I found them at Poundland for.. well... a pound each.

Sally Hansen	sweetie

This one didn't turn out as "sugary" as Sally Hansen - Sweetie did. I followed the instructions on the back: it stated you needed to use two thin coats, and that is what I did here. It might have needed more shaking before use.

This manicure is very Easter-ish. Pastel Yellow.
It just shouts Easter to me. I don't think that (yellow) is a colour that will ever be anything else to me. I know I am a bit late on this trend, but, oh well.

I bought three Sugar Coats from Sally Hansen here the other day. I found them at Poundland for.. well... a pound each. They also had a black one, but opted out on it. Wasn't quite sure what I would use it for. And as I had a white one (Sugar Fix) making a black would be easy.

Sally Hansen	Sour Apple
Sally Hansen	Sweetie

I decided to swatch Sweetie first. I don't often wear yellow polish, but I think everyone should own at least a couple polishes in the colour. Instructions on the back says to use two thin coats, so that is what i have done on these pictures.

Graffiti Nail II

I wanted to do something different and fun with the graffiti nails I did, so I thought why not add stamping over it. After a long discussion about what plate to use, and what colour. I landed on  Cheeky - Top Of The Class plate, using W7 - White.
W7 - White didn't really deliver on the manicure department, but it sure works well as a stamping polish.

Let's have a look at the Before picture:

And the After pictures:
I used Maybelline - 140 as a basecolour, dabbed the foil over. Then I added a coat of Gina Tricot topcoat, before stamping ( I had been wearing the manicure for a week before I decided to stamp on it)

I wore this for another three days before I got bored with it and needed change. What do you think?
