Kiweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Hi!

Today I have another glow in the dark beauty from Lacquerdaisical to share with you! Or more specifically, the Alexia of Lacquerdaisical's hubby, who is the mastermind behind Kiweeeeee! Kiweeeeee has a pale green jelly base which glows in the dark (squee!) with hex glitters in black white and yellow, just like a kiwi. Random fact about me, I am allergic to kiwis and even though I love them they make my tongue swell up and my throat close, which is not a good look! At least I can wear them on my nails ;) I wore two coats of Kiweeeeee over an opaque pale green cream, and stamped some kiwi-esque circles on my accent finger (I could have sworn I had a kiwi stamping plate, but I don't. I would have bet my first born on it...good job I didn't!) The formula is a little thick and can drag on the second coat, but just leave an extra minute between coats and you're good to go. It dries semi-matte, but nothing topcoat can't solve and the glitters are perfectly smooth and not at all thirsty.

Now the best bit! To 'charge' Kiweeeeee's glow in the dark pigment you just need some sunlight, but I used my LED lamp once it was dark out so I could get a good glowing photograph! Look at it glow! I love how it really makes the glitters pop!

Lacquerdaisical Kiweeeeee (and all of their other polishes) are available to buy from the Facebook page and their brand spanking new Big Cartel shop! Prices start at just £2.50 for the mini sizes and there are some really lovely, original polishes - duochromes, glitter, holos, textures - all you could ever want from an indie polish brand!

Unicorns and lilac clouds

Hi!

This weeks adventures in stamping theme was pastel, and because I've done a couple of pastel manicures this week I went for something a little bit different. I started with a base of Chubby Owl Polish Blitzed Unicornz II, a white crelly base with multi-coloured matte and shiny pastel glitter. It's a really complex polish, but there's pastel pink, lilac, mint, pale blue and gold bits in there, really pretty! I used to coats over white and then stamped swirly clouds in Sally Hansen Lively Lilac with Nailz Craze NC02. Then, because it just wasn't girly enough, I added some flatback pearls too, picking up some of the colours of the glitter.

I really liked this manicure, although girly is definitely not me! Using the pastel glitter instead of a solid pastel colour was a good choice, although now I think I'm all pastelled out for a while!

Tri Polish Challenge Blue, Purple and Green #2 - Quirky randoms

Hi!

I'm running low on inspiration, so for today's TPC I just went for something random and glitter, which is always a winner! Who doesn't love dots, leopard and a Nailside cloud, teamed with my favourite UK indie? I used Barry M Key Lime Pie and Blueberry, and Color Club Wild At Heart, and accented with Quirk Peace is Free. I'm not 100% sure the colours go together, but I can roll with it. The Color Club is a holo and of course the sun turned shy, so the bottom two pics are with flash to try and show it.

I don't have another nail post planned until Thursday, but I'm hoping it's going to be awesome! See you then!

Silky smooth

Hi!

Sorry for the unauthorised absence, I've been under the weather again and black dogs are creeping in. I seem to be in a nail funk, but I got my grubby paws on two of Barry M's new Silk polishes and had to get them straight on my paws. I started with two coats of Mist, the blue, and then sponged on Heather on the tips. The glitter accent is two coats of UK indie Chubby Owl polish Candy Rain over heather, which I won in a giveaway on Chubby Owl's Facebook page (thanks Jemma!) This is such a me glitter! I stamped bows with Gals Fairy plate GA36 in Barry M Gold foil. They're tiny images but I think I lined up the double stamping quite well for a change! I'm sorry the pictures aren't good but I promise it was really pretty.

Have you tried any of the Silks? I want them all now!

Holla for Holive!

Hi!

Earlier this week I reviewed Lacquerdaisical's holo topcoat, Holla On Top, and today sees the turn of possibly the prettiest green polish I have ever seen! Holive is an pale olive green holo with added specks of glitter and oh my giddy aunt it made me swoon! Green isn't a colour I reach for often (apart from mint greens, one of my many many weaknesses...), not because I don't like it, but because it doesn't like me but this one even suited my skin tone. I wasn't sure how opaque it would be so I used two coats over OPI Stranger Tides except on my pinkie finger which was two coats alone. As you can see, I needn't have worried about opacity, but undies are an option if you don't want to use too much of the precious holo! I'd say this was paler than olive green, more like somewhere between mint and olive, with a leetle touch of lime maybe? Perhaps that's why I love it so much! Looooooook!

So pretty and delicate! Lacquerdaisical polishes are available on their Facebook page, and this one is just £7 for 15ml.

It's So Fluffy, I'm Gonna Die!!!

Hi!

We're big Despicable Me fans in my house, and so I had to have Dollish Polish It's So Fluffy I'm Gonna Die for the name alone. Actually, I wasn't keen on the colour when I saw swatches so really I did just buy it for the name. That's bad, isn't it? Anyway, when it arrived I really did like it more than I thought I would, as it's much more complex than it seems. I had a bit of an indie fest for this manicure, pairing It's So Fluffy with Lacquerdaisical Unicorn Poo, and stamping a unicorn from Nailz Craze NC02. I actually think Unicorn Poo is the star of the show here - it's a glitter packed topper full of holo micro glitter, holo shards, bar glitter, hexes, stars and black hexes. I started with a base of OPI Pink Friday, then two coats of It's So Fluffy on pinkie and pointer, two coats of Unicorn Poo on ring finger and thumb, and stamped the unicorn on my middle finger with Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Speedy Sunburst.

It soooo pink! And if you haven't seen Despicable Me and don't get the unicorn/fluffy references, sort your self out and go and see it! Seriously, if grumpy Mr NN who usually only watches car shows and bloke things can stand watching it 20 thousand times since we got it on DVD at Christmas then you know it's good!

Where does the glitter go?

Hi!

I have another Lacquerdaisical beauty for you today, Where the Glitter FlaminGoes! Where the Glitter Flamingoes is a mix of pink, blue and gold micro glitter in a pink jelly base. You could llayer this up on its own, but it would need quite a few coats, so to get the best out of the pretty glitter I used two coats over Barry M Pomegranate Gelly, and really loved the result. It isn't rough at all like some glitters can be, not thick or gloopy and application was great. One coat of topcoat was all it needed and it dried super fast.

Blurry glitter! Super sparkly :)

I had to add some stamping! I was after a floral design, but they were all a bit delicate to stand up to the glitter (will have to rectify that, more plates please!) so I went for this damask from Messy Mansion.

I've not used a glitter like this in a while, and I really enjoyed it. Where the Glitter FlaminGoes is available from Lacquerdaisical at £2.50 for 5ml or £6 for 15ml. Go and check out her other pretties!

More Lacquerdaisical! Load of Pollocks and Sakuralige!

Hello!

Today I have more beautiful Lacquerdaisical polishes to show you, this time two glitters. You know I'm a sucker for glitter in a milky base, so these two were right up my polish alley! First up, Load of Pollocks, which is Alexia's most popular polish - and I can see why. There are tonnes of white based glitter polish, but none quite like this. The glitters are all different shapes and sizes, and colours - red, blue, yellow, black and green at the very least- primary colours rather than the usual pastels. I used two coats over a white base for these swatches, as it is a crelly finish and I didn't want to waste my precious bottle!

I can totally see why this is a best seller! I can't wait to wear this in the spring, it's such a happy polish!

Just as beautiful, if not more, is Sakuralige. I love the name of this one, I can just imagine an exploded cherry blossom on my nails! Sakuralige has a pink crelly base with lots of different shaped and sized glitters in shades of pink and purple. Now, this one contains bar glitters, which usually are not my cup of tea at all. Gah! Hairy nails! I hear you cry! Well, no, actually. The bar glitters are the shorter, fatter type and are just sprinkled sparsely enough that you know they're there but do not look "hairy" at all and do nothing but add to the beauty of the polish. This is not glitter for the sake of glitter. My swatch shows two coats over one of OPI Steady As She Rose, again just to spare you the visible nail line without using too much of the precious polish!

It's such a pretty, delicate polish I could wear it forever! Ok, I'm a polish addict so that's not going to happen but you get the idea!

Lacquerdaisical polishes are available from their Facebook page, and Alexia just previewed a holo and duochrome polish last night that look totally amazing so go and have a look!
