CG Don't Make Me Wine stamped with BM318

I'm not sure where I found this little stunner - it just happened to appear one day. This is a gorgeous vibrant fuschia colour from China Glaze with a cool name - Don't Make Me Wine

This shows two coats.

ILNP Electric Carnival

Today's polish is the exciting Electric Carnival by ILNP (I Love Nail Polish) see here for my haul pics.

Well all I can say is sometimes a name has absolutely nothing to do with the colour of the polish but in this case it absolutely does! What an appropriate name indeed!

Electric Carnival is a dense purple to gold to green flakie polish. I wore it over one coat of A England Camelot (black). This shows two thick coats of Electric Carnival.

On to the pics:

ILNP Masquerade - Duochrome amazingness!!

Can I just say WOW! I have to say this is maybe the most magnificent polish I own (see the others in my last ILNP haul post)

This is my first ILNP (I Love Nail Polish) polish and it is simply gorgeous! All my favourite colours in one go! How could it possibly get any better?!

I'm delighted with the shorter flatter brush which gives excellent control and a decent amount of polish on each application. Loving the matte non slip bottle lid as well. The formula of this polish is quite thin and I needed three coats. Might have managed two if my application was thicker and heavier.

On to the pictures:

ILNP Haul!!!

It's been quite some time since I ordered nail polish online and got that kick of receiving 'nail mail' but today has made up for it!

www.ilnp.com - wow - what can I say? Amazing! Quick and reasonably priced delivery (even to New Zealand) I'll definitely be purchasing from here again :)

So here's what I got:

Electric Carnival, Bikini Bottoms, Masquerade, Atomic Sherbet

The packaging is adorable. Each box is individually named with a little heart cutout on the front. The bottles have a unique matte (almost rubberised) handle which I really like.

Electric Carnival: Duochrome flakies

Bikini Bottoms: Holographic hot pink

Masquerade: Duochrome purple/green/bronze

Atomic Sherbet: holographic orange

Can't wait to try these out!!

A England Sleeping Palace

Sleeping Palace is a beautiful dusty plum from the Burne-Jones Dream Collection - simply elegant and gorgeous. Typical of all A England formulas - opaque in one coat and effortless to apply (although my swatches show two coats)

Unfortunately the sun would not play nicely today and the lightly scatter holo effect is not evident.

Artificial light in my bathroom to show the holo effect

Cirque Xochitl and Holo Haul!

Today's swatch is from Cirque Colors www.cirquecolors.com
I ordered these four polishes quite a while ago and have just got back into wearing polish after a long break. Perhaps coinciding with the sun making a tentative reappearance on our side of the world . . . ?
If you're going to wear holo - you need sun right?! lol

Anyway onto the swatches of the dazzling Xochitl (any idea how to pronounce that?)

Still gorgeous in the shade

And the other polishes yet to try:

Zoya Neeka with new BM-412 stamping

Wow - there are some great images in the new Bundle Monster stamping pack! Loving that there are heaps of full nail stamps - and that they ship internationally!

Today I'm wearing Zoya Neeka which is an oldie but a goodie from my collection. Neeka is nearly a one coater and great when I'm in a hurry! I stamped using Color Club Eternal Beauty which gives a subtle tone on tone effect. Unfortunately the sun was not co-operative so the true holo effect is subdued.

CG Below Deck stamped with CG Joy

Today I'd like to show you a subtle tone on tone manicure. Even though I've had Below Deck for ages this is  my first time wearing it. It's a lovely pastel purple based taupe and goes on evenly and easily. I recently bought some more CG polishes with the express intent on using them for stamping and Joy is one of them. I thought it worked really well!

Excuse my tip wear and the quality of the photos. My husband has 'borrowed' my camera and these are taken with my Galaxy SIII. Also the uploader has randomly rotated the photos . . .?!
