Holographic Nail Polish

Hello! Today I have a holographic polish to show you all 🙂 you probably know by now that I’m not mad on holos, at least not as much as many girls I know, but I do like a nice subtle holo. This one fits the bill perfectly. High Def is quite an oldie – it’s from the Tronica collection, which was out in early 2011… it was a lovely collection *we think* inspired by Tron, which came out around that time. This excites me a lot because I began my blog in January of 2011 and I still remember being wowed by these in the early days 🙂 I didn’t ever buy any of the Tronica collection because at the time I didn’t really realise that I could actually buy polishes from abroad, and I’d only recently stumbled upon the world of blogging and nail polish in general, so I just admired from afar. I actually picked up High Def in a Facebook nail polish sale group, at a very reasonable price. These are bordering on hard to find (HTF) now!

Hey there everyone! Today I have a beauty of a polish to show you. If you remember, last month I showed you Enchanted Polish January 2014 – a lovely deep dark blue holo, and this one is like the muted cranberry cousin to Jan 2014. If you didn’t know, Enchanted Polish (EP) is one of the most sought-after brands in the polish world. I think this is largely due to their exclusivity. That’s something that sells me on a product – not being able to have a second chance at choosing… I’ve said it before, I am genuinely a marketer’s dream customer! This exclusivity lead to many a problem with restocks, however it seems Chelsea has finally found a good solution. She’s currently doing a pre-order window at a certain date and time of the month, for the monthly polish releases. This seems to be working great – both times have been easy and stress-free for me.

2014 is also the year of mystery polishes for EP. This means that you are buying blind, essentially, as you won’t know what your polish looks like until you peek at swatches from the US or until it arrives on your doorstep. Which is something I LOVE, and because I don’t have many polish colours I hate, I feel relatively safe knowing that I will probably love it. Although I know it’s not for everyone!!

Hey there! It’s Thursday, and that means it’s time for another instalment of the Rainbow Series with Charlie of Pocket Money Polishes 🙂 This week is blue. Blues, like greens, are one of my very favourite colours, so choosing my top ten was SO HARD!!! I started out by picking out all my favourite blue and came up with 47… I then managed to narrow it down to 17, but from there I just could not decide! So I’m going to default on this selection and say that there are still more favourites, but here are some of my top blues!! 🙂

So I’m finally at the last of the Picture Polish Limited Edition Collection… these polishes are just too beautiful for words. The funny thing is, is that this time 2 years ago I’d have hated them because I hated layering, and yet these are honestly some of the most amazing duochromes and multichromes I own! The collection consists of 5 layering polishes: Altered State, Aurora, Gravity, Illusionist and Solar Flare.

I so nearly DIDN’T get Solare Flare and Gravity because I wasn’t sure I liked them, but I am so glad I did. Amazing amazing amazing!

Hello lovelies! I have a little confession to make… I think you probably knew as well as I did that I wasn’t going to be able to resist getting the last two from the Picture Polish Limited Edition Collection. Might as well get it out in the open – I am now the proud (and broke) owner of all 5. I didn’t even LIKE Solar Flare in online swatches, but I just couldn’t resist the temptation… le sigh, what is life etc etc. Last week I showed you Aurora, Illusionist and Altered State, and now I have Solar Flare, and Gravity… 🙂 No judging here please 😉
