gorgeous golden goddess

I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to nude polishes, mainly because most of them look rubbish on me...
I am; however, really loving Golden Goddess from Estee Lauder. I think it has something to do with the shimmer. Makes it easier to wear and very flattering. GG reminds me of the new (ish) Zoya touch collection, although I don't own any of them to compare. I'm also once again stuck by how lovely and decadent the Lauder bottle are. So gorgeous.

528

528 is my very first Ozotic Pro and I can say with all certainty I was not disappointed. 528 is a duochromatic glitter and I wore two coats of it over a plain black creme. I could not stop starring at my nails. The glitter is mesmerising. I promise that pictures can not do this polish justice. it has to be worn to be loved. I got my bottle from picturepolish.com.au and I wholly recommend their customer service. x

raspberry sorbetto

I have recently become a fan of brights and I have to say it kinda snuck up on me... I've always been more of a vampy/neutral lover but all of a sudden the look of a bright nail is really attractive to me. keeping that in mind I loved wearing Raspberry Sorbetto by Borghese. It's a hot pink creme but it's not too in your face. I especially loved it peeking out from under a coat of OPI's Silver Shatter. v.cute.

lovely lady of the lake.

Like many others out there, I have fallen in love with A-Englands Mythical line of polishes. This one here is Lady of the Lake and it's a deep luscious purple with amazing holographic glitter. I loved wearing this polish it just made me happy to look down at my nails with this beautiful colour sparkling away. Can't recommend this enough. Love!

golden tourmaline tango

I have another Salley Hansen Nail Prisms for you today. Golden Tourmaline is a gorgeous red holo which was simply a pleasure to wear. I honestly loved looking down at my nails when I was wearing it. It, like all holos, looked a thousand times better in the sun but I still liked its understated beauty in the shade. After I'd been wearing it a few days I decided to throw on a coat of OPI's Red Shatter to hide the tip wear and I really liked the effect it gave. Obviously quite a subtle contrast but one I enjoyed.

murky mermaids tears

Okay so obviously I liked the look of this polish in swatches since I ended up purchasing it but I promise you that pictures don't do this polish justice. Mermaids Tears is just gorgeous! I'm not even usually one for pastel type shades but the murkiness of this polish really makes for a unique and flattering polish. I don't currently have this on my nails. The pictures are from a few weeks ago but thinking about how much I enjoyed wearing it is making me think that I might go repaint my nails with this as soon as I finish this post...

forever faye

Faye was the only polish from Zoya's Sunshine collection that I was really interested in. It almost has an antique feel to it in my opinion. It's a rustic purple/mauve base with very prominent golden shimmer but what I really like about it is that the shimmer isn't too yellow since I'm not much of a fan of yellow gold. This polish was a lot more understated then I was actually expecting it to be which I like as it turned out. V.pretty. Well worth a look if it hasn't already made it's way into your collection.

cyberspace case

Cyberspace is the first of the Milani 3D Holographic polishes that I've tried out and while it's not the most amazing holo I think it's pretty darn good, especially for the price tag. It wasn't the nicest of days unfortunately when I was taking pictures so I don't really have a direct sunlight full on rainbow flash type picture but you can see a little bit of the holo effect in the first swatch picture. I have a few more of these so I'm interested to see how they compare. Does anyone else have these? What do you think?

pearl and gems of wisdom

I've owned OPI's Pearl of Wisdom for some time now but never tried it because I didn't really think I'd be that fussed on it and SURPRISE, I wasn't... It's a sheer pearly polish with some micro glitter and it's just a bit boring. I haven't given up on it entirely though. I still plan on trying it out over a black and hopefully that will jazz things up nicely but since it was already on my nails, I wasn't pleased and didn't feel like taking it straight off I added a couple of coats of Milani's Gems (a supposed dupe for Deborah Lippmanns Happy Birthday) and I rather liked the results. Cheerful/glittery nails. Well done Milani you saved the day!

always across the universe

I was pretty much always going to be attracted to this polish simply because of the name. I'm a huge Beatles fan and Across the Universe is a brilliant song and as it turns out it's also I brilliant polish. Across The Universe is my first Deborah Lippmann polish but it won't be my last. I was always hesitant to spend so much on a single polish but it was worth it in my opinion. The sheer base with the different size, shape and colour glitter is just gorgeous. Like all glitter it was a pain to remove but the effect was worth the hassle. Love it!
