Models Own - Snowflakes

Yesterday I showed you Rimmel's My Denim, well today I'm going to show you what I put on top of it. :-) What with My Denim being a creme I thought it'd be a good idea to try out Models Own Snowflakes over the top.

I've lusted after Snowflakes for a while, I love flakies and I don't have any quite like this so I couldn't wait to add it to my stash. The flakies are more like torn up peices of irridescent glitter as they're alot thicker than traditional flakies, they flash, pale gold, green, blue and purple.

So, I should love this polish, but I don't, the clear base is so thick that it makes the polish really difficult to use and I would've thought that Models Own's base for their glitters would be a billion times better than a cheap unknown brand from the pound shop, but it's not, it's worse.

Maybe I got a bad batch or something, I hope so as if I didn't I won't ever be buying a Model's Own glitter ever again, I hate paying out good money for something that's no good. But I do have to admit, it looked super pretty....

Orly - Fowl Play

Today's polish is a pretty well known polish, and there's countless swatch photos out there already, but I'm still gonna post about it as it's my blog and I'll do what I like. :-)

I got my bottle of Orly's Fowl Play last year, I was a bit late to the party as this polish was released as part of the Birds of a feather collection in autumn 2011, but better late than never, especially with a polish this cool.

Fowl play has one of my favorite things in it, flakies (they go from red to green), as well as blue glitter and silver microglitter, all contained in a rich purple base...

February's Nail Polish Haul

Hi guys, sorry about the lack of activity lately, I've just not been feeling up to it, but I'm back and will be a better blogger I promise. :-)

Normally I'd do a haul post on the last day of the month with Dana from Polished Claws Up!, Dana's had a busy month so isn't doing a haul post this month, but still go and check her blog out here. I've been a bit behind as I needed to borrow a camera to take the photos, my photos aren't great, but hopefully you'll get the idea.

This months haul included my first Versace polish, I had to get it for it's cute little box, and I got a ton of old Cutex polishes which I just couldn't resist, and here's my lastest haul, as always, if there's any you'd like to see swatched let me know. :-)

Revlon Peachy and Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure

Today I ignored all the shimmery polishes that were calling to me and I picked out a creme as I fanced something different. The creme I picked was Peachy, a Revlon Top Speed polish, it's a pale pinky orange or orangey pink lol, it's like they took a pastel colour and added more pigment to make it a bit brighter.

My poor camera couldn't cope with the colour so I've had to adjust the photos, I really wish my camera would behave itself!
