Orly Baked Collection swatches and review.



Hello There Everyone!!! Today I have to share with you 3 of the Orly Baked Collection. When this collection caught my attention I was super stoked that we were going to get them here in Australia. So when I had the opportunity to share 3 of the amazing colours with you today I totally jumped at the chance!!!!
The Baked collection consists of 6 polishes which are all bright and neon. As a collection I think it is one of the best neon collections out there ATM. All the colours look amazing.
 I have Saturated, Tropical Pop and Neon Heat to share today.

Saturated- Is a bright Indigo/Purple neon creme. This polish was a real hard polish to photograph and honestly unless your PC/tablet/Iphone screen is calibrated the colour may not look to you in these swatches as it does in real life. It was one of those colour that is just impossible to photograph. On my camera screen the polish looked totally different to the actual polish but on my PC screen it looked ok. 
Ok so on to the polish. This is an amazing colour. I cannot tell you all enough that EVERYONE NEEDS THIS IN THEIR COLLECTION!!!!!!!!!! the formula was to die for, and in 2 coats it was opaque, plus on top of the amazingness of the colour it is UV reactive so under black light,which you will see in some nail art i'll add at the end of the post. Then to top it all off you DON'T need a white base as so many neons require! I just cannot rave about it enough!

Neon Heat- Is a super bright Pink polish. This is again an amazing polish. The formula was fantastic and again a white base coat was not needed. I just used 2 coats by itself. I could have even got away with one coat the pigment is so dense in the polish. You will see how opaque they are when you see the nail art as I only used one coat when creating and layering the colours.

Tropical Pop- Is a neon orange creme. Once again the formula was just amazing! and only 2 coats for opacity with no white base coat either! I am just well....speechless that I can use these neons and not have to use a white base! I wish all neons were this awesome! Also like the other 2 polishes Tropical Pop is UV reactive. So black lights make it glow soooo very much!!!!!!

After swatching these colours the post came and I received some Dead Set Decals. So I HAD to give them a go with these amazing colours! then pop them under a black light!!!!!

As you can see these cremes are great for nail art and stand out in both normal light as well as black light.

Glitter Gal polish review.





Hi there everyone! today i have some stunning holographic polishes and a neutral creme shade to share.

Glitter Gal is an australian brand and I think were one of the first holographic polish aussie indie around. They have been known for their amazing array of holographic colours and honestly are a pretty amazing brand as far as capturing that elusive flame in a holographic polish.

Nuddy Nude- Ok, so nude colours are not really my thing. I have a go to OPI nude colour and thats pretty much it. But.......After getting my polished pinkies on this polish Nuddy Nude will not and forever be my Go To neutral shade. The colours is great and the polish only took 2 coats to be opaque and dried very quick. I had no streaking at all and it was even great to stamp with.

Lizard Belly- OMG...... thats all I can say........OMG....... this polish was on my wish list forever! and I finally managed to purchase it. Boy oh Boy it did not disappoint! The colour is a deep tealy green colour but almost a british racing green. The flame in this holographic polish is amazing. I used 3 coats to swatch but honestly I could have gotten away with 2.

 Love Bite- Is a bright red holographic polish. The colour is an orange red and the flame is super strong for a red holographic polish. I used 3 coats to swatch. I also did a little nail art with some of the new Dead Set Decals that are now available via Dead set babes.

Belgian Chocolate- Is a rich brown holographic polish. I only know of 2 other brown holographic polishes and this is one of the best. the polish has a slight red hue to it so it can look almost terracotta in some lights but i managed to capture its true colour in these pics. I used 2 coats for the swatches.

 Transfusion- This was the other mind blowing polish from the ones I purchased. I am a sucker for this colour. I truly am. I have the original Lilypad Lacquer True Blood, Celestial Cosmetics Callisto and now this pretty. All are very similar but I must say I think this has the biggest flame out of the 3 for sure! I used only 2 coats to get opacity and I wore this for several days as I just did not want to take it off. And for me 3 days is forever, as I usually change me polish every day.

I also had the holographic top coat that glitter Gal sell so I tried it over Transfusion. The top coat really dulled the holographic flame of the polish but on the up side the polish became darker and the holo flecks in the top coat gave it a totally different look.

I was super happy with every polish I purchased and received from Glitter Gal. The quality and formula was amazing and delivery quick.
You can purchase Glitter Gal from their website HERE prices start from $9.95 for 10 mls. Make sure you also like their FACEBOOK PAGE for new polishes and competitions.

The Decals that I used with Love bite can be purchased at DEAD SET BABES prices start from $1.95 and they ship worldwide. As far as I am aware they are the cheapest place around to purchase Decals as they offer a large variety and have a flat rate postage no matter how many you purchase.

Until next time.....
