Celestial Cosmetics We Breathe Fire Collection

*Press Sample.

Hi there everyone!! Today I have the new collection from Celestial Cosmetics to share with you today.

We breathe Fire collection is a combo of 6 beautiful polishes all representing different dragons from the Inheritance Cycle (Eragon) books. 

I have 5 to share with you today.

I really liked the colour palette in this collection, really warm autumn colours.

So lets check them out!

Glaedr- Is a bronze/copper holographic polish. I use 2 coats for opacity. There were flakies also in the polish which can be seen in the shade. Personally, flakies in holo polishes is a love hate thing with me. I love how they give the polish character in the shade but i hate how they break up and effect the holographic effect in the sun. What i would call a linear holo is not as much with flakies in it. But the polish is still a pretty amazing and unique colour.

Jarnunvosk- this is a creamy nude holo polish with gold flakies and a gold shimmer. I really liked the end look of this polish, I also found that 3 thin coats was better than 2 thicker coats.

Pretty Serious Cosmetics Type 40 Swatches

*Press Sample.

Hi there everyone!

I've posted my pics most places but totally realised I'd not actually blogged this polish!!!!! *facepalm*  So today I'm sharing the Pretty Serious Cosmetics Type 40 polish. I loved that PSC released this colour, That special blue box is one of the things I remember from my childhood and as I have grown up, I have been lucky enough to share my love of Doctor Who with my daughters,

I have been to the original Doctor who museum in Llanglollen north Wales back in 1999 (my hubby family are from Llanglollen so it was one of the first places he took me!!) and When we re visited the UK in 2009 I took my daughter to the new Doctor who museum. Here are a few pics ;)

Zoe was SOOO little then!!!!!! she still loves doctor Who and watches it all the time!!!!

Shes been to comic con as the TARDIS as well as going out in her Black milk TARDIS Slouchy!!!

We even had a TARDIS Gingerbread house this year for christmas... 

So lets get on with checking out Type 40!!!!

It is a amazing blue which you only need one coat. I used 2 but I did not really need it!

As you can see with this polish a slightly different light source changes the colour completely I tried so hard but could not get 2 photos the same!!! and for me that's no something that usually happens to me!!

All I can say is the polish is perfect. And I went and brought 2 more bottles after my Press Sample arrived!!!

You can still purchase from Pretty Serious Cosmetics for $9.95 a bottle

Until next time.....

OPI Infinite Shine Polish Road test.

Hi there everyone!
Today I wanted to share the OPI infinite shine polish series,
The idea of this polish range is to provide a hard wearing polish range that will give clients up to 14 days wear.I purchased the base and top coat plus one colour to road test.

I read the instructions and applied a layer of base coat, then 2 coats of colour and finally a single layer of top coat. I did notice that the base coat took a little while to dry, while the top coat dried super fast.

Here is Day One.

Day Three- After the first 3 days I noticed a small amount of tip wear on 2 nails. this was it. the only other thing I noticed was the top coat was not as shiny as it was on day 1.

Day Five- By day 5 I had more tip wear and I also noticed some wear on other parts of my nail. Not a great deal but it was starting to bug me.

Day Eight-  So I totally forgot to take a picture before I removed the polish. But I ended up with even more tip wear. At no time did I actually get any chips which for me was amazing!!!!
For most people I think they would get 2 weeks of wear from this collection. For me the tip wear annoyed me way too much as I am so use to changing my polish every day!

You can purchase  Infinite Shine polishes at International beauty supply for wholesale purchase.

Until next time.......

Essie Retro Collection Swatches.

Hi there Everyone!
I decided to see what all the fuss was about with the re release of some Essie polishes. The Essie Retro collection comprised of many different Essie polishes that were popular over the past few years. The biggest talk was of them re releasing Starry Starry Night.
 This was a big deal!!!!! Ever since they deleted it many years ago, people have been trying to buy this polish, It has even sold for several hundred $$$ on ebay!!!!
There has been a few dupes over the years, but who would not want a essie version!!!!
So lets check them out shall we??!!

Rimmel Super Gel polish Swatches.

*Press Samples.

Hi there everyone!!!!
Today I have the Rimmel Super Gel polishes. There are 15 in the collection and I ahve 12 to share with you today.

The Premise with this particular polish collection is that it has the durability of gel but no UV or LED lamp is required. The polish "cures" under the normal UV rays outside.
This is suppose to give the polish durability and the claims are it lasts up to 14 days.

I wore Rimmel Blue Babe to road test these claims. I wore 2 coats of the colour and one coat of the special top coat that came with the colour. The top coat is suppose to help the durability. The polish dried super quick as did the top coat. When I wore it i had hard gel overlays on my nails, so the polish went straight over these.
 I had 7 days wear and did not get a single chip. I was very impressed as i usually chip my polish in a day!
On the 10th day I had some decent tip wear so I removed the polish to swatch the rest.
Very impressive.

OK so lets check out the colours.....
