OPI Number One Nemesis with stamping

Number One Nemesis is a lovely warm charcoal grey (see here on it's own) with warm undertones and gold glitter so I wanted to try and marry in some stamping. Here's what I came up with using my new Drikk stamping plate. I wasn't thrilled about the final result but I liked it a lot better in a matte finish.

OPI Number One Nemesis

Today I'd like to share a polish from the Amazing Spiderman collection. Number One Nemesis is a warm grey glitter with a super shiny finish. There's such a variety of colours in this that it's challenging to capture them with my camera. In the shade there's loads of gold shimmer which I love.

The formula is easy to apply and dries quickly. This shows two coats applied over a black base (as that's what I was wearing and was too lazy to take it off!)

A England Ascalon

Today I'd like to share another lovely A England polish. This is the elegant Ascalon which is a light grey scattered holo polish with lavender duochrome undertones. I'm loving the A England formulas which dry very quickly and are almost one coaters. This shows two coats just because I can't help myself. lol

While A England polishes are definitely on the expensive side (£9 each) I am thrilled to take advantage of free shipping which definitely makes it worthwhile. Couple that with the fact that the polishes were here within approximately 8 days of ordering makes me a happy camper.

With my little helper =)

Essie Armed & Ready with stamping

Today I'd like to share an Essie polish - Armed & Ready. This is a gorgeous dark grey taupe with tons of gold micro shimmer. The formula was easy to apply and typical of Essie - dried nice and quickly.

I thought I'd break out of my comfort zone and try a stamp I hadn't used before. This is Konad plate S6. It was actually a bit of a challenge lining up the image so that it stamped centrally on my nail. A couple of images aren't quite right but I can live with it! Interestingly my right hand turned out slightly better but it's a challenge to photograph it so you're stuck with my left!

This shows two coats.

This is Armed & Ready on it's own. You can see the gorgeous shimmer in the bottle. Unfortunately it was quite late in the day so the colours are not the best - although still pretty accurate.
