<br />
All swatches are two coats without a topcoat, and then the same polish with a coat of Gelous and another coat of Seche Vite. All three of these polishes look a lot more complex in the bottle with different coloured shimmer, however on the nail they fall flat and the prettiness in the bottle does not translate onto the nail.<br />

Butter London released a bunch of sets for Christmas this year. Two of these sets were the Double Take sets. One is Blue and the other Red, both with matching flakie topcoats. I found these sets at Macy's while I was on Holiday in Hawaii for US$24 (when they sold Butter London in New Zealand we paid NZ$30 (US$24) a polish!)</div>

Rebel Fox is a burgundy shimmer that looks a lot darker and browner in the bottle. There is also very visible gold shimmer in the bottle that doesn't translate onto the nail. This is three coats, and it has quite a thin consistency. I think it could have almost used another coat, once you get it in the sun it appears a bit patchy, and I wasn't happy with it.</div>

This is two coats of Brass Monkey over Rebel Fox. It is red/orange iridescent flakies in a clear base. This one had a better consistency but I think it could have had more flakies in it so that only one coat is needed.<br />

This is three coats. These photos make it look brighter than it is in real life. It is a pale purple lilac. It is not overly blue or pink toned, just a perfect lilac colour. It has a great formula and was a great creme polish. </div>

<br />
As Girly As It Gets is a slightly tinted blue base full of pastel shaped glitter. It contains light blue butterflies, lilac, pink and light blue stars, light blue hearts and light blue and green shards with small lilac squares and light blue hex glitter. I used one dabbed coat, where i went fishing for the shaped glitter here. The base is quite thick, so it was not the easiest to apply with an even spread of shaped glitter.<br />

Lacquerhead Polishes are available <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LacquerheadPolish" target="_blank">here</a> and come with cute little bows ties around the bottle necks.<br />

I picked up two from Sephora. One for me and one for the other Lisa as a Christmas present. Here is the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/mini-mani-month-P383154" target="_blank">link</a> to it online.<br />
<br />
I am not the biggest Ciate fan, in fact these are the first polishes I have owned from them, after the Caviar/blogger/lawyer/drama nastiness from a few years ago. But lets be honest this is an advent calendar with nail polishes in it! Best advent calendar ever!<br />

China Glaze Sun of a Peach - Shade</div>
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">China Glaze Sun of a Peach is from the 2013 Sunsational Collection. This is three coats, although the crème formula lets you get away with two. The top picture in the sun isn't as colour accurate as the second picture in the shade. This is a pink toned peach, and definitely looks more peach than orange. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">It is not quite that bright, so is more wearable than a straight out neon. </span><span style="text-align: center;">I actually have a top the almost exact colour of Sun of a Peace that I love to wear with a black cardigan, so that was the inspiration for this mani.</span><br />

The little black bows came in a wheel full of bows, sequins and fimo shapes. I used one coat of Gelous and then a coat of Seche Vite to stick the bows on. They stayed stuck on really well. I actually got bored of them, before they fell off.</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Law of Attraction is sparkly holographic blue hex glitter in a couple of sizes, mixed in with golden champagne coloured glitter. This is three coats. The glitter is quite dense, so perfect to use one coat as a top coat, or wear multiple coats by itself. This is a possible dupe for Essie On a Silver Platter from this years Encrusted Treasures collection (which also has a gold and silver combo like Made for You by Formula X)</div>

The Sephora website calls these polishes "3D". They are <u>not</u> texture polishes, and are almost completely smooth once on the nail.</div>

Law of Attraction is sparkly holographic light pink hex glitter in a couple of sizes, mixed in with golden champagne coloured glitter. This is three coats. This one is not my favourite, and it think its because the pink is so close in colour to the golden base, so they don't stand out much.</div>

They are one of my favourite Indies. Problem is they release so many collections that are topical to me, that I am quickly running out of money. Recently they have had great Disney collections, A Once Upon A Time collection and now an awesome Christmas collection. Check out their store here <a href="http://popculturecosmetics.com/">http://popculturecosmetics.com</a>.<br />

For my birthday Lisa (the other one) bought me two of the polishes from the The Haunted Mouse Halloween collection.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">This is one dabbed coat of Awaken the Sp</span><b style="text-align: center;"><i>ear</i></b><span style="text-align: center;">its</span> over a black crème. This one is full of lots of different shaped silver glitter in a black base. It has Mickey Mouse ears, three sizes of circles, diamonds, stars, two sizes of moons, and two sizes of square glitter, as well as little hexes and silver shimmer. I did have to go fishing for the shaped glitter, but it wasn't too hard to find enough to cover my nails (I think I actually ended up with too many shapes on my nails).<br />

Simply Villainous is an awesome purple glitter polish. This is three coats. It has silver Mickey Mouse heads with 3 sizes of purple circles, silver stars, mini moons and iridescent purple squares, in a purple glittery shimmery base. I love this, and the fact that you can wear it alone. This one didn't require any fishing for shaped glitter, and after three coats there were enough shapes on each nail anyway.</div>

Lots of Love<br />

Crowd Surf is a crelly fuchsia purple in the shade and a darker plum colour in the sun. This is three coats. Its consistency is a mixture of jelly and crème (crelly), so is like a jelly polish, but not as see through and squishy. the Picture in the sun is not quite colour accurate as it is a darker deeper purple in real life. Purples are notoriously hard to photograph.</div>

Electric Firefly is the only shimmer polish in this collection. It has a bright electric blue shimmer running through it. This is three coats and I found the formula on this one quite runny. In the sunshine it changes to a vivid orange colour. The shimmer is still present in the sunhine too.</div>

Eternal has the most drastic colour change in the sunshine out of all the polishes in this collection. It changes from a teal green crème into a grey/purple crème in the sun. This is two coats and the formula on this one is great. I found all of these polishes to dry quite quickly as well.</div>

This one was hardest to photograph. It is a bright neon highlighter pink. It is a Barbie pink, that looks like a highlighter does in the shade. The bottle shot in the top photo is the most colour accurate photo of this polish. This polish has a crème finish and only needs two coats, as it is the perfect consistency. It changes to a darker non-neon pink in the sun.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Summer Love is a bright neon orange in the sun and a red/orange toned brown in the sun. This one also has the crelly finish, being a cross between a jelly and a crème polish. This was three coats. Logically it makes sense for orange to turn brown in the sun, but it is a hard polish to match with clothing. It feels totally 80s.</div>

This is a huge collection, with some awesome looking polishes. It was hard to limit myself to the 14 I did buy.<br />
<br />
The Brilliants is a mini set, within the brand. The brilliants are "A dazzling and vibrant glitter lacquer with intense sparkle". The set contains 5 polishes, a silver, a black, a pink, a periwinkle and a yellow. I only purchased 2 of these, but wish I had got all of them now.<br />
<br />
First up is the light pink polish in this collection, Fine Like Einstein.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
This is three coats of<span style="text-align: center;"> Fine Like Einstein. It is a super fine holographic pink glitter in a clear base. I love how much these polishes sparkle, even when not in the sun. It is very dense glitter so actually gives full coverage in two thick coats and dries super fast. The above swatches are all with a coat of Gelous and Seche Vite over the top. The top coats help to smooth the glitter out to the touch. Removal was not easy and required cotton soaked in acetone left on the nails for a couple of minutes to make removal easier.</span></div>

I love this. It is yellow and not gold and I think that makes it unique in my collection (it is much harder to find yellow glitter than gold glitter polishes). This is three coats and then a coat of Gelous and Seche Vite. Its sparkles soooo much. Dry time was super quick and wear time was great. </div>

I spotted these both at Farmers a last week. The Hope and Freedom collection has been out for a while now, while Mash Up is a new release. I was a bit shocked to see the price of these has gone up to $24.99 now (they used to be $22.99). I tend to only buy Orly from Farmers when they are buy one get one free. Hopefully they will have another one of those sales soon.<br />

I got this from the second run of 100 bottles, so mine is unnumbered. The original run of 300 bottles of Emma Louise was released in October 2012.<br />
<br />
This polish is named after Emma, who is friends with Kaz, the creator of Pretty Serious Cosmetics, with all proceeds from the sales of this polish going to Cancer Council Australia.<br />

Pretty Serious Cosmetics Emma Louise - Natural Light</div>
<br />
According to the Pretty Serious website Emma Louise is "a vibrant violet jelly base with golden green glass fleck, purple micro-glitter, and purple and green hex glitter."<br />
<br />
This is three coats. The description above is pretty accurate. It is a purple base with gold and purple micro glitter, with bigger green and purple hex glitter. The purple hex glitter is slightly lighter than the base purple, so that it is visible amongst the purple and gold shimmer.<br />
<br />
The formula on this is great, and it doesn't apply lumpy, so only one coat of regular top coat is required.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately Emma Louise is no longer available. But there are lots of other great polishes (and cosmetics) available in their store. Pretty Serious Cosmetics are available from their website <a href="http://www.pretty-serious.com/collections/nails" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Lots of Love<br />

Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream - Shade</div>
<br />
Mermaid's Dream is the original Mermaid Polish, released before the other four, back in 2012. I picked this up while on holiday last October in America. It matched the dress I wore to my brother-in-law's wedding, which was in Toronto last October. This swatch is three coats, which apply easily. It is a teal green glitter packed polish, with golden micro-shimmer. It looks like it is gritty and bumpy, but with one thick coat of top coat, is as smooth as a regular polish.<br />
<br />
The next four polishes were released as the summer 2013 Mermaid's collection.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mermaid's Kiss is the pink version in this collection. The gold shimmer in this one is a lot more obvious, and actually looks like bigger bits of glitter instead of the shimmer in the other polishes. It still has a rose pink base, with darker pink glitter. This is three coats.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Mermaid's Eyes is the odd one out from this collection. The base and the glitter colour are a lot closer in colour, with the base colour being darker than the other polishes in this collection. It still contains the darker glitter pieces and the golden micro shimmer, but they don't show up as much on the nail. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fortunately the sun decided to disappear when I was swatching the last polish in this set. Million Dollar Mermaid is the orange/peach version in this collection. The base on this one is quite light and the golden shimmer is quite present (although not as much as in Mermaid's Kiss). This is three coats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love this collection. Even 6 months later it is still unique in my collection. The biggest problem is that Deborah Lippmann polishes are not sold in New Zealand. However <a href="http://search.beautybridge.com/search/?p=Q&lbc=beautybridge&uid=638734086&ts=custom-v2&w=lippmann&isort=score&method=and&view=list&af=special1%3anewarrivals" target="_blank">this website</a> does ship them to New Zealand, and has regular sales.</div>

Cut grass is a pastel green that changes to a darker dustier green in the sunshine. While it doesn't actually smell like fresh cut glass (which the Ruby Wing website says it does), it does smell nice. To be honest it smells like my shampoo, it is floral scented, but I cant figure out like what flower, either way it smells nicer than grass. This is two coats and the polish applies like a dream. It is not streaky at all.</div>

This is three coats. It has the thinnest formula of this collection and unfortunately does leave streaks on the nail. This one smells fruity - a lot like lemon, but a clean flowery lemon scent. This one changes from a shimmery slightly frosty white into a light yellow colour.</div>

Poppy is a vibrant pink jelly (although not quite as neon as the above picture suggests) which changes into a deeper burgundy colour in the sun. This is two coats which apply perfectly for full coverage. This one smells rose scented, although I suspect it is actually poppy scented.</div>

Sunflower is the glittery polish in this collection. It is a clear base packed full of gold micro glitter. This one is interesting because the glitter doesn't change colour in the sun, but the base it is in changes from clear into a bright yellow base, which makes the glitter look yellower and more golden. This is three coats and I was surprised to see that it did actually provide good coverage in those three coats. This one also smells flowery and shampoo like, although I am pretty sure its not the same scent that sunflowers have.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All in all I am happy with the four polishes I have from this collection and absolutely love that they combined colour changing polishes with scented polishes. I was wearing Cut Grass all day today, however didn't really get time to get outside (and it was horrible) weather, so I didn't actually get to see it do its magical colour change.</div>
<br />
Lots of Love<br />

Originally 100 bottles were made, and sold like crazy. Last month though, Pretty Serious released another 100 unnumbered bottles of Naughty Night Shift Nurse. And I managed to get one!<br />

This is three coats. It is quite a thin polish. It is a duochrome fuchsia with lighter iridescent flakies.<br />
It is purple and red duochrome base with added blue shimmer that also changes to orange in the right light, with pink flakies. This is a pretty complex polish, I mean flakies and duochromatic in one bottle!<br />

The Polish Haven actually swatched this over black, and it makes the polish appear a lot more purple, so I am thinking of trying it out that way. As it is not really 'me' in this form.</div>

How are you all doing?<br />
Life has been busy and my nails have been crap, although that did not stop me buying more polishes that I didn't need. My nails were still polished, but it is hard to blog in Winter because I cant take decent pictures and Id rather not blog than show you guys crap.<br />
But it was ok-ish weather over the weekend, so I managed to do some swatching. My nails still aren't as great as I would like. I am trying Seche Rebuild at the moment, so we will see how that goes.<br />
<br />
I am on a massive pastel kick at the moment. Today I have some pastel yellow polishes to show you.<br />

This is three coats of Mellow Yellow, however this is thick enough to easily get away with two coats. It is a nice pastel yellow that applies well, even though it is thick, it doesn't leave dodgy brush marks. I am a fan of piCture pOlishes, however I really dislike their brushes. The fibres in them seem to stick together and not spread over the nail easily (just my opinion).</div>

<br />
Ozotic 904 is the yellow polish from the 2012 Sugar collection. This is a canary yellow that is full of little glass flecks. This is one coat over Mellow Yellow. 904 is actually slightly duochromatic switching from yellow to green in the correct light. Its hard to see over the top of yellow, but layered over black really pops.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I can get this blog back on track. Wish me luck.<br />
<br />
Lots of Love<br />

I picked up three of these polishes and a top coat at the recent New Zealand Beauty Expo.<br />
<br />
"Vinylux is a breakthrough polish that endures a week of fashion perfection... without a base coat"<br />
<br />
Here is a quick over view of Vinylux:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>This polish is a cross between a regular polish and a gel polish that cures under a lamp. </li>
<li>It is designed to last three times what a 'normal' polish would last. </li>
<li>A base coat is not needed.</li>
<li>Currently there are 62 colours available</li>
<li>Use 2 coats of Vinylux and then one coat of Vinylux top coat</li>
<li>Polish dries under natural light (and no UV lamp is needed)</li>
</ul>
<div>
The first one I tried out was Azure wish. It is a light blue polish. In the bottle it looks like it has shimmer in it, however on the nail the shimmer is not visible.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used three thin coats here. The recommendation is two coats, however the polish was not opaque enough and I felt it needed three to even out the polish on the nail.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This polish cures under natural light. I polished my nails late at night and they dried fine under a regular house light. I was surprised with how quickly this polish dried, as it was no longer than a regular polish (if not quicker because the coats were quite thin).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The formula was good on this polish. It was smooth and easy to apply thin coats. The brush is pretty standard and was easy to get a neat finish with.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wore this polish for four days. It did chip after two days, but I stuck it out to write this review. Unfortunately the condition it was in after the four days meant that it did not last the stated three times longer than a regular polish, as I can get a great two days out of a regular polish (usually after that I am sick of the colour and want to change it). So it lasted longer than a regular polish, just not three times longer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Removal was very easy. Vinylux was very easily removed with acetone based nail polish remover. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am currently putting on Black Pool, which is the Black creme Vinylux polish. I will be trying this out with a glitter layer in between the polish and the Vinylux top coat.</div>

Lots of Love</div>

This is three coats, and still leaves a visible nail line as it is not fully opaque. This polish has a teal shimmer crelly base with teal micro glitter, small round teal and fuchsia glitter, medium white hexagon glitter, bigger fuchsia and white round glitters and giant white hexagon glitter. </div>

The formula was ok, the hardest part was fishing out the bigger pieces of glitter. Also some of the bigger bits of glitter had stuck together so when it was swiped on the nail, you ended up with multiple pieces the same.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found I liked this polish much better with a base underneath. This is two coats of Zen pool over two coats of Can't Find My Czechbook. These two are a perfect match for each other. I wore this to work the other day and got quite a lot of comments about it. </div>
