OPI Alcatraz…Rocks Liquid Sand

November 30, 2013 6 Comments

Hello lovely ladies! Again it’s been a little while… although I fully intend to get back on track now… I have 1 month of unemployment so there’s no excuse really! Andy and I are moving in together in Bournemouth in January so I’ve got a lot of time to sort out my stash, get through some reviews I’ve promised and show you all some exciting new stuff!

Today I have the exceptionally pretty Alcatraz…Rocks Liquid Sand polish from OPI’s San Francisco collection. I adore this polish… I know some of you aren’t keen on the Liquid Sand finish but this one is a must-have!

Barry M Countess – Textured Nail Effects

October 5, 2013 9 Comments

Here is the second of five new Textured Effects from Barry M. The Royal Glitters Collection consists of: Princess, Countess, Majesty, Lady, and Duchess. This new collection is very similar in effect to OPI’s Liquid Sands and Zoya’s Pixie Dusts, which personally I much prefer to the first four Textured Effects Barry M released.

Today I am showing you Countess; a deep aubergine purple base filled with golden and rosy pink shimmers/glitters (I am never quite sure with the Textured Effects whether it’s shimmer or glitter!). Anyway, it’s super pretty, really vampy but with an attractive sparkle – it’s perfect for winter parties or a warm autumn outfit.

Barry M Princess – Textured Nail Effects

September 14, 2013 21 Comments

Barry M have released some AWESOME new Textured Nail Effects – this new collection is very similar in effect to OPI’s Liquid Sands and Zoya’s Pixie Dusts. It’s called The Royal Glitter Collection, and consists of 5 colours: Duchess, Princess, Majesty, Lady, and Countess. Today I have Princess to show you… my very favourite of the five, it’s a beautiful golden peach colour but in glitter form! I feel like if Models Own Tropical Sun was made into a textured polish, Princess would be it :).

I have to confess, I initially wasn’t too keen on the ‘textured effect’ polishes… I found the first 4 Barry M Textured Effects to be a bit love or hate, but lots of ogling of OPI’s and Zoya’s takes on texture has won me over. I love this frosted glitter appearance – it makes me think of sugar coated cocktail glasses.
