Picture Polish Gravity swatches




Hi there everyone!
Today I have another limited Edition polish that Picture Polish released earlier this year.
The colour is a duochrome with their signature silver/holo flecks throughout the polish. Like all of Picture Polishes LE duos they released with this colour the formula is super thing so thin so you will need to layer it over black. I tried on one nail by itself but 6 coats later I still did not have the same effect that 3 coats did over black. So black base is a must.
The colour shifts from blue to navy to purple and even a slight bit of magenta/orange. I love the colour but I do have similar colours in other brands which formulas are better. tho saying that none of them have the fleck throughout so that is what makes gravity unique in my eyes.
Lets check out the pics.









As you can see the shift is super pretty.
Gravity is no longer available at Picture polish any more but I'm sure if you look you will find it on a blogsale somewhere with any luck.

Until next time......

Picture Polish Illusionist swatches




Hi there everyone! I have not been posting these past few weeks , and I am sorry my readers, but I promise there will be more and more great things to come soon. 
Next month is my 40th birthday so I will be organizing a giveaway for that ! plus I have some exciting things in the works, which I will share soon.

Anyways, ATM my nails are in a real poor condition. My nails have never been the strongest and I was informed that IBX system would work wonders, so I forked out the $55 for the repair and IBX. I applied it as the instructions stated but within a day or so my nails had become brittle and all split and broke. *cries* So I have been sporting nubs. Bare with me and my swatches as my nails grow. But for today I am using swatches I did a little while ago when my nails were long and purtty!!!

Ok so Picture Polish Illusionist. This was a limited edition polish they released a few months back. it is a multichrome that shifts from purple/blue/teal/navy and has holo glitter/flake in it.
The polish is stunning but the formula is very thin, so you will need layer it over black polish/gel. I used 2 coats over a black gel. What i loved about layering over the gel was I seemed to be able to get a much better shift as you will see in the pics.

Dance Legend multichromes....Sully Swatches



Hi there everyone! today I have a stunning polish to share with you. Dance Legend is one of my favourite brands of polishes right now, and although it is getting easier to purchase it, you do need to have some ninja skills if you are trying to buy from a e-tailer. All of my Dance Legends I own have been brought direct from Dance Legend themselves or have been given as gifts over the past year or so. But if you see a DL polish in a blog sale make sure you grab it, so far I do not think I have owned a single one that I have not loved!!!

Today I have Sully from the chameleon collection they brought out last year.All the polishes in the collection are based on the characters from Monsters inc. When they came out I ordered all of them plus the Limited edition Knight which you can see HERE. Sully is the loveable blue/purple monster from monsters inc. This polish really has got it right in colours and some! the shift with this polish is simply amazing and you can almost get every colour of the rainbow from this polish in different lights!
I got a bit carried away taking pics of this polish but I had to share them all as everyone gets a little different shift. I swatched 2 coats of Sully over Black gel polish, the height of the gel on my nails also created an awesome effect at the tips of my nails which you can see :) The majority of these pics were taken in the shade for the best shift effect.
























 How amazing is this polish! Right!?!?!

Even my daughter Poppy wore this polish!!!



You can pick up Dance Legend Sully along with the rest of the collection over at DANCE LEGEND they retail for $8.00 each and have a flat rate shipping. also if you purchase over 10 bottles you get free world wide shipping. Things to remember tho. Russian post can be very hit and miss, my advice is to order no more than 12 bottles of polish at any one time then the parcel will be fairly small and get through customs quickly. Also if you polish does get stuck in customs, it can take up to 3 months to clear, tho I have not had any of these issues, other people I know have had them. Also I recommend to write in you comments when purchasing for them to wrap your polishes in bubble wrap. People I know have had polish arrive just loose in a box, tho I have heard that the packing has got better, I always make sure I ask for double wrapping.
Apart from that I have always had awesome service and when I have emailed Dance Legend they are always really quick to reply and help where they can.

Until next time......

These look amazing over black polish or even any dark colour. The polish had a glass flake in it which causes the duochrome effect.
