BL Fash Pack stamped BM405

An old favourite - Butter London Fash Pack - a warm taupe cream polish. Stamped with a new, or rather unused plate from Bundle Monster.

I quite like this - it reminds me of the embossed writing on the back of luxury milk chocolate!

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:

OPI San Tan-tonio stamped with Mash 41

Time for a nude/neutral mani today! This is OPI's San Tan-tonio which is a creamy nude with a hint of tan. I stamped with China Glaze Magical using Mash plate 41 and added some tiny bling raided from Nubar Golden Glow. I liked how the stamping came out since I don't think the base colour does a lot for my complexion.

Cult Nails Nevermore stamped with Pueen 18

I've been fortunate lately to get my hands on some new stamping plates. Often it's very difficult (not to mention expensive) to buy plates in New Zealand. The Pueen collection has been on my 'want list' for a while and I was delighted to finally get it!

Nevermore by Cult Nails is the most wonderful black one coater polish and my go to when I want a polish that's going to contrast with a busy plate.

BL Shag stamped with Konad m100

I've recently 'acquired' some fabulous Butter London polishes that I've been wanting for ages. Shag is a gorgeous metallic coppery bronze. Then to my delight I noticed this new Konad plate too - well it seemed like a perfect match! I thought the letters over the entire nail might be a bit much so this is my first attempt at a tape mani. I think it turned out quite interesting!

CG Short & Sassy with BM 314 stamping

CG Short & Sassy is one of my all time favourite polishes. It's a classical elegant burgundy and I wanted to embellish it but not detract from it's gorgeous deep colour. I randomly stamped images from the BM314 plate in various positions.
