Scattered Holo

Hey girls 🙂 sorry I’ve been away a while… as per usual it’s the work-blog-life balance that I’ve been treading carefully for a while that went off course, so I had to take a little break! Because of this I actually missed the A-Z Series posting day, so I’m catching up tonight. This one is a polish beginning with ‘E’. I’m finding that each week I seem to find loads of polishes beginning with the next week’s letter, but as soon as the next week comes around I can’t find any beginning with that letter! I think I might be going a bit loopy! Oh and by the way… I shortened my nails a LOT this weekend so there will be some pictures from pre-cull… but these ones are shorties 🙂

I chose China Glaze Electra Magenta, which is from the Tronica Collection circa 2011! I still find this collection exciting because I’d just started blogging, and only really started finding out about China Glaze and OPI and all the US salon brands, and I remember the excitement of finding an entire world of nail polish!

Hello everyone!! Late post for me tonight, I’ve been spending the evening with Andy’s grandparents. Since moving we’ve not had anyone to ‘go and see’ so to speak, and they’re down for the week in a holiday apartment so it’s really lovely to spend time with them. Hope you’re all having a good week!

I bought this polish a long while ago in TK Maxx, it was being sold as part of a ‘holiday’ set as it’s from the Naughty or Nice Holiday 2012 collection. It came with one of those eye mask giant pad things which I didn’t care much for, and the two other polishes it came with were called Devil May Care and Unlawful, which I’m not so keen on either… if I’m totally honest, I totally bought the set just for Miss Conduct 😀

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!

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! So you may have noticed… I’m on a bit of a Picture Polish kick!! It started with Aurora, and yesterday Illusionist, and now this one! 😛 These are all from the Limited Edition collection which is very, very limited!! I only bought three of the five, which I’m now regretting!

Of the three I bought, this one has the most subtle duochrome effect. But it’s still super pretty! I struggled a little to get the shift in the photos because it was pretty miserable today, grey and horrible! I did manage to get a few shots of it though :).
