There is just something about the brand that just makes us go weak at the knees, I personally love the old bottles and the colours are pretty sweet too. It was such a cool brand back in the day and the rarity of some of the sexier shades just adds to the appeal to us collectors (who doesn't love the thrill of the hunt?). One day I'll get a first generation bottle, but for now I'll settle for the second gen ones as they still make me damn happy. :-)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So today I thought it was time to show off Kiss, it's not one of the funkier colours, but boy is it pretty. Kiss is a red jelly with tiny silver glitter particles mixed in. I don't do reds very often, but reds like this are a joy to have on my nails. The polish just looks so juicy, and I love the little sparkles in it, it has a lovely glow to it and it really made me smile everytime I looked at my nails.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've no idea how rare Kiss is, but I'm guessing it's pretty rare as I did a google search and came up empty, I couldn't find a single swatch, but that's probably down to my poor search engine skills, rather than no-one swatching it. But anyways, good luck finding one if you do want a bottle. :-)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Poundland now have two exclusive nail polish brands Pretty and Jess, both have some really nice shades and I've built up quite a collection of both partly helped by the fact that they're all just £1.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now some cheap polishes can be a bit hit or miss, and usually they stink to high heaven and never dry, but this one is a polish well worth searching for, I've not seen anything else like this in other stores and for a pound I can forgive the pong.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's a labeled as a concrete effect, not sure if it really looks like concrete, but the finish is certainly cool. It's a lovely turquoise with silver glitter mixed in, the base is quite thick but the glitter still peeks through. It dries matte, so you end up with a polish that's smooth to the touch, but looks like it could be gritty. Overall I really love this polish, and wish there were more colours in the range.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The last photo shows the matte finish off the best, but you can also see that I didn't have the easiest time with it. It dries quick and is thickish so I didn't do a perfect job, but from a distance it looked okay. I used two coats and I'm sure the next time I use it I'll get it even on all my nails now I know what the formula's like.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you want to see more of the Pretty range you can have a look on Poundland's site <a href="http://www.poundland.co.uk/health-and-beauty/beauty-and-skincare/pretty-nails" target="_blank">here</a>, sadly you can't buy them online so you'll have to visit a store near you to see what goodies they have.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So to sum up, this polish has it's bad points, it stinks, it's thick, and it's probably full of chemicals we don't need on our nails, but this is such a beautiful polish that none of those bad points matter and I just want more of this in different colours, a green or yellow would be good. :-)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So have you picked up any of these Pretty polishes if you're in the UK, and what do you think of these cheap brands popping up in discount stores?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This month I tripled the number of Hard Candy polishes in my stash, although a few were not what I was expecting thanks to the seller advertising them as new (which for vintage polish reads un-used old stock) when in fact they were well used and in one case half used. but at least the seller did the decent thing and sorted it out with me, even though they were still adamant they were "new".</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I added a bunch of old Rimmels to my collection after learning a hard lesson, if there's something you want on ebay as a buy-it-now and you think I'll wait a bit as they've got loads and they always re-list them, well buy it. I was holding off buying a bottle of Rimmel Sonic for that very reason, spending my money on stuff that was one time only auctions, and well, wouldn't you know it, when I went to buy it the other week, the listing had ended and the seller no longer has the stock, so I'm kicking myself and am rather gutted that I missed out on Sonic at a decent price. I have now learnt my lesson!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As well as the Hard Candy's and Rimmels, other vintage goodies added to my stash include yet more Revlons, some sexy L'Oreal's, a black label OPI and my first CND. I got some new stuff as well including more Jess from the poundshop, some Orly's, my first Elf's and the OPI Brazil Liquid Sand set, just because I love that finish and I had to have the yellow, I really wish they'd done full sized bottles of all the colours in this set.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So as usual, here's a ton of photos of all my goodies. :-)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So there's a fair few in that haul that I'm all "Yay!" about, and I am gonna have to get off my arse and get swatching, although I think my camera is on it's last legs, so I might not be able to do any if it pops it's clogs. If anyone's got a good camera for taking swatch photos let me know what model it is, it'll help me hunt for a new one.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Maybe you can help me decide, it's Sally Hansen's Night Lights from the Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear range, the oldest mention I could find online was 2006, so it might be that old, but I'm really not sure.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyways, on to the polish. Night Lights is pretty cool, it's got a thin grey base packed full of super sexy holo micro glitter. The base is pretty sheer, so I ended up using four coats but trust me, it was worth it to build it up to bottle colour.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's a nice alternative to a traditional black or dark grey polish, in
shade or low light it looks like a dark grey with silver micro glitter
mixed in, and then when then light catches it, Boom! there's a ton of
super sexy holo goodness going on.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As soon as I painted my nails the weather turned and it started to rain, but I was on a mission so as soon as there was a break in the clouds I went outside and made the most of what little sun there was.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I do love this polish, so much so that when I saw a bottle in the poundshop I picked it up as a back up, but it's slightly different so I'll have to compare them both side by side, I don't think there'll be too much difference though, from memory I think one was more black than grey.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So what do you think of Night Lights? Awesome or not?</span></span><br />

I'm trying to get back into blogging, so I'm going to try to post at least once a week, no promises though, but I will try my best.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have a ton of swatches that need sorting through and editing, so I'll try to get those posted. Somewhat unsurprisingly alot of swatches are Revlons and Rimmels, so I hope you don't mind seeing lots of the same few brands.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The star of this post is a vintage Revlon, it's one of their old Top Speed colours called Flash. I'm afraid that not only is this vintage, it's also a limited edition just to make it that bit harder to track down if you want to add it to your stash.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Flash is a silvery white shimmer, it looks like liquid snow in the bottle and is like nothing anything else in my stash. In the photos I think I used two coats and the formula was fine, just a shame it's a bit sheer, but I can forgive it for that as it's a delicate colour and you don't notice it too much in person.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Good old Revlon, how I love your old bottles and polish, if all I had in my stash was vintage Revlons I'd be happy. My favorite polish bottle of all time is probably the Revlon's with the gold rings on the cap, so I'm pretty happy I've got over a helmer drawer full of them.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Right I'm off, I'd love to know what you think of Flash, and feel free to let me know what your favorite polish bottle design is.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cheerio for now.</span></span><br />

Today I have a pretty nice one, it's Rimmels Amazon, it's one of their old Lasting Finish range. I wish I knew when this is from, I hate not knowing the age of polishes, but there's not much info about old polish out there, thank goodness for all the vintage polish bloggers out there that have put so much work into researching old collections.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, on to the polish, Amazon is one of those polishes that changes depending on the lighting conditions, it's a blue toned green, with beautiful shimmer that is mostly green but it does have a slight blue duochrome at certain angles. Polishes like this are the reason I love vintage polish, polish was just so much more funky in the 90's and early 2000's.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I took way too many photos of this baby, I wanted to capture how good this is, so sorry about the amount of photos there are for you to check out! :-)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I used 3 thickish coats, it dragged at my cuticles, so I ended up doing 3 coats, if it
hadn't dragged 2 would've been fine. It dries darker than
bottle colour, but hey, who's complaining about that when it still looks sexy?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">UK Rimmel bottles from this era are usually 8ml, my bottle of Amazon is 12ml, so I'm guessing it's a US bottle. I'm not sure how easy it'd be to find a bottle of this, but it's worth hunting down if you're a fan of greens.</span></span><br />

But I'm still collecting polish and my stash is still growing, and haul photos are something that don't take too much time so at least I can keep up with my monthly haul posts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This month started off slowly, I was on late shifts so didn't get to the shops much, but the second half of the month included visits to TX Maxx and pound shops, and I got a few bits from ebay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Exciting finds this month included a sexy red vintage Revlon with flakies in it, some vintage Maybellines, my first essence polishes (my local Wilkinsons has now started stocking them), and my very first Chanel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can't wait to test out my new Revlons and I hope the Chanel lives up to the hype, if it doesn't at least I got it cheap, and it'll be happy in my vintage collection as it's from 2007 I think. I love the Essence bottles with their matching caps, you really can't beat having matching caps on polish bottles. :-)</span><br />

Rimmel was the first brand that I really connected with as a teenager, I remember going into Boots and buying my first Rimmel nail polishes. I wasn't into make-up but when I saw the bottles of Mania and </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Zeitgeist</span></span> it was love at first sight, and then years later it was the act of trying to replace my gunky bottles that led to my current obsession and huge stash of polish. So I have a bit of a soft spot for the brand, and I do love those super cute rounded bottles.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway, over the last few years I've collected quite a few old Rimmels and thanks to the pound shops I've got a ton of new ones too. I'm not really a fan of Rimmels core colours, to be frank they're soooo boring, but lately they've been issuing some funky limited edition collections so that makes up for it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyways, that's enough yapping, lets get onto the polish porn shall we?....</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One big problem with old Rimmels is that they have a horrible habit of thickening up, most of the bottles were sold as new, but you can see that none of them are full to where they should be. So if you're collecting these old Rimmels don't be too hard on a seller if your bottles not full, it's just how they go, hopefully modern Rimmels won't have the same problem in the future.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I was really good this month, compared to most months I hardly bought a thing!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I
got some polish this month that I was seriously happy to have. Being a
vintage polish lover and a massive fan of Revlon I've always wished I
could find some really old bottles, well I spotted an auction on ebay
with three old Revlons, they cost me £30 for the three, but I thought
that was a bargain, especially when they're all still liquid and
useable. They'll get their own post as they're so cool.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As
well as the old Revlons, I got some Sally Hansens, L'Oreal's, a Nails
Inc, and a joblot of really old make-up off ebay with some dried up
Cutex and Nailcote polish and other bits, which also deserve their own
post. Anyway enough yapping, here are the photos of this months haul...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />I love the old Revlons, the packaging is so cute, and I can't wait to share them with you. I had plenty of goodies from the pound shops, including Revlons Wicked Heart (which you have to buy if you see it), and all the Sally Hansens, some of which I had saved in my watch list on ebay for alot more than a pound.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you don't go in pound shops but you love nail polish you really should check them out, I've got so many great polishes from there, and best of all alot of the stuff is limited editions from other countries and have never been released in the UK.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Right that's this months haul done, I'll try to make my next post a swatch post as I haven't done one of those for ages.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cheerio for now.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Okay, if there's an award for bad bloggers I should win it. I'm so sorry that I've not really posted much, I've been snowed under with other crap in life and the shifts in my job have been a complete nightmare so when I get home I just wanna eat and sleep.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I know the last post was a lazy ass haul post, and I'm sure you'd much prefer some sexy polish swatches instead but you'll just have to put up with this instead, sorry about that, I hope you can forgive me. :-)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last month I had a week off, I had all sorts planned, but I ended up spending the week in bed with flu, but ebay came to my rescue and I ended up chasing after some vintage polish which I hadn't had time to do for a while. I added some more Revlons to my stash including Comet, which I'd been after for ages, and it's not what I expected, it's much prettier. I also ended up buying a few duochrome OPI's and finally got a bottle of Urban Decays Bruise. On top of the Vintage I also picked up some cute glass fleck polishes from boots Seventeen.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm sooo naughty, I'll try really hard to not go into any pound shops next month as I just can't say no to any polish when it's a pound. I'm extremely happy to have scored another Urban Decay polish, and I'm in love with all my vintage goodies, I can't wait to try them out.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As always, let me know if there's any you really want to see swatched, I am making a list to polishes to swatch so any input would be great. :-)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cheerio for now,</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Exciting buys this month include the amazing Spiderman collection from Revlon (I'm so happy to see the UK get proper limited edition collections from Revlon), my first Mavala's, and I used my Boots points to treat myself to Essie's Lot Of Lux.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The pound shops were great as I got all the Revlon Colorstays, Top Speeds and Duos, as well as a ton of Rimmels and Sally Hansens, I love getting polish that costs £7 in Boots etc for just £1, it's even better when they are polishes that weren't even released in the UK. :-) </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm gonna try to be good next month and try not to buy as much, but it all depends on the pound shops not having anything good in. :-D</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last year I was so lucky to find a load of old Cutex polishes in pound shops and charity shops, even though alot of them weren't the type of colours I'd wear I still had to grab as many as I could as I just loved the bottle shapes, and the collector in me just couldn't leave them alone.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm not sure when these are from but judging from the colours, formula, and bottle designs, they're probably from the 90's or early 2000's, if you know please get in touch as I'd love to be able to date them properly.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway, I hope you enjoy the bottle spam, there's a mix of Color Quick and Strong Nail polishes for you to ogle...</span></span><br />

I had ordered this off a seller on ebay and was chuffed to find it for sale in the UK for a really cheap price, when it arrived it looked great and I popped it in my helmer and left it alone for a week or two, then when looking for something to swatch I pulled it out and found that it was going funny, the glitter was shrinking and the base colour had changed, I think someone had basically topped it up with nail polish remover or something, but whatever it was it dissolved all the glitter in it, luckily the seller was really cool and gave me a refund.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">A couple of weeks later a parcel from the US turns up for my boyfriend and he gives it to me to open, it was a brand new bottle of Wired! He knew I was sad to lose my bottle so hunted down a replacement, which is so sweet, and completely unexpected, so now Wired is one of my most precious polishes, just because of him. :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Anyway, on to the photos first, I'll chat about the polish after.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">So as you can see Wired is pretty damn awesome, it's one of those colours you either love or hate, I do think it looks a bit like the colour of what might come out of either end of a baby, but the glitter in it makes it into a superstar polish. I mean who would've thought an icky brown jelly base with coopery brown and holographic glitter would be a good idea? I tell you, Sally Hansen is a genius, and I love that there are polishes like this out there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">This was three coats and was a joy to use, it's pretty unique in my collection and if you like yucky brown polishes I think you should hunt this one down on ebay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">So what do you think of Wired, yay or nay?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Cheerio for now,</span><br />

Fuzzbox - International Rescue<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here's something a bit different today, it's a Snap, Crackle and Pop! post.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I want to share a bit of music from my youth, now I wasn't one of the cool kids, I was awkward and shy and I didn't have many friends, and so my musicial tastes weren't influenced by anyone I knew, I just listened to the radio and went into town on saturdays with my pocket money and bought whatever I liked. This resulted in me having a really eclectic record collection, going from cheesy pop, to Indie to rap, if I liked the song I didn't care who it was by and if it was cool or not.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The songs I want to share with you today are from 1989 and they're by a band called Fuzzbox (or as they were also known We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna
Use It). Fuzzbox were a UK band that only released a few albums and then spilt up. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Their biggest hit was International Rescue, which is as quirky as you can get, I loved the video and even though I hadn't watched it for years it was still filed away in my memory, and it really wasn't much different to how I remembered it.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Look at all those ballons!

I get mine from my local market and I think you can probably find them on ebay if you don't have anyone near you that sells them.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lilac Shimmer was on it's own on the market stall, I think it was the last one left, so I'm not sure if it's been discountinued. It's a pale pinky lilac base with silver microglitter mixed in. It does tend to look warmer or cooler toned depending on the light and in real life the silver glitter shows up much more than it does in my photos. The microglitter gives the polish a textured look as the glitter looks like lots of little bumps and it can also look like a foil if the light catches it right, it's quite an interesting polish.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I used two coats and it was a nice easy application which is impressive for such a cheap polish. If you see any Gallery Colours polishes around I'd try them, they do a lovely black jelly with red glitter called Black Sparkle which is well worth hunting down, and they do some nice full coverage glitters in red and gold etc. They don't have a massive range but they do have good colours.</span></span><br />

Needless to say I have added yet more polish to my collection, and some of them I was very happy to find. When Rimmel released their Metal Rush collection I found out that in some countries there were 5 polishes in the collection, in the UK we only got 4, and so the hunt was on for Bronze Princess as I just had to have the full set, well thank you pound shops as that's where it turned up.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Other bargains included my first Butter London's which I got for a quid each in Boots, and a load of Claire's polishes which were on sale for £1 each, there were just too many goodies and I just couldn't resist, at least I still managed to save up to get my car fixed so I wasn't too naughty. :-)</span></span><br />

I love the old Express Finish bottles, especially with their gold caps. I've got a few amazing colours and really wish I had more, they look so cute all lined up in my Helmer.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Out of my collection I picked Pure Gold, I tend to over look it quite often as it's not an in your face colour, but I decided that it was it's time to shine.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pure Gold is a nice yellow gold, it's quite reflective for a shimmer and has a lovely glow when the light hits it. It seems to change depending on how much light there is, it can look quite light in bright sunlight, or much richer in the shade. All in all it's a really classy gold polish and it's not leaving my stash any time soon.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It had a thin formula, and the first coat was very sheer so I ended up using four coats. It was worth it though as it's such a lovely colour.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">W7 is one of those brands that I have ended up getting loads of as they just make such great colours and the quality isn't bad at all for a £2 polish. I used to be able to pick from most of their range from my local market stall, but since that closed I've had to rely on poundshops and T J Hughes to get them, I need to find someone local that stocks them as I'm missing out on new releases at the moment. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've got amazing duochromes, Magnetic and glitter polishes by them, and todays polish is one of their amazing glitters, it's sooo cool and it just gives me a big cheesy grin whenever I look at my nails when I wear it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Say hello to Orange Dazzle, which really does dazzle you in real life, much more so than the photos show.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Orange Dazzle is an awesome combo of a neon orange jelly with gold glitter mixed in, the orange is in-your-face bright and the glitter just adds even more fun to it. I spent way too much time waving my hands around to catch the light bouncing off the glitter! This polish is so much fun it would cheer up even the most grumpy souls.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I used 3 coats, and the formula was okay, a little thick, but easy to use.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">During that time it's been getting exposed to the sun every now and then, and it's happily going from light to dark as if by magic, but something weird has happened as the days have passed, it's turned orange and I've no idea how or why. It's kinda cool though.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I thought I'd take some photos as I'd like to know if this is normal, or have I got a bad batch?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's worn so well, I'm not sure why, but I'm not complaining. I need to try out my other Ruby Wings now to see if they do the same weird colour change, even though I think it looks cool, it's still not what I'd expect a semi-expensive polish to do.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'd love to hear from anyone who's got a bottle of Sweet Cream, does your bottle do the same, or is mine a bad one and I need to get a replacement?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A few months ago I got a ton of old Sally Hansen Hard As Nails with Nylon polishes from the pound shops in town and being a bit obsessed with with my old vintage polishes I ended up trying to find out how old some of them were.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'd noticed that a few had names that looked like they belonged in a collection and the numbers matched. Through a bit of digging I found that I had a few from one collection from January 2000 called the Prima Ballerina Collection, now of course I had to find the rest and armed with the names of the polishes I kept visiting the pound shops until I'd managed to find all but one of them.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, as well as sharing the collection with you, this is a hopeful request, that maybe someone out there has a spare bottle of the one I'm missing, it's called A Star Is Born and it's number should be 2702-29 or 2702-38. I'd love to complete the collection, so if anyone can help me out that'd be great. :-)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well I guess I better show you the rest of the collection, if you like any of these some can still be found on ebay and in some pound shops.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here's the details of the polishes that I've got, including their number and a description of what they're like.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>2702-30 Prima Donna</b></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm not 100% sure if there was just nine in this collection, it seems a weird number, but I only found nine names on the internet, so I'm hoping that's it, if you know anything thing about this collection, or have A Star Is Born (I'd be happy just to see a bottle shot, although of course I'm dying to complete the set), get in touch.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What do you think of this collection, I think it's fun, I love the names, and I think the colours are pretty fitting, not that I know much about Ballet.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'll try to swatch them all sometime soon, if there's any you'd like to see sooner rather than later let me know and I'll get to work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cheerio for now,</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you don't know, Ruby Wing polishes are colour changing and scented, they react to UV light, so are one colour indoors and change in the sun when you go outdoors, the light through glass is also enough to activate the change as well.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I decided to try out Sweet Cream first out of the ones I got as I thought it'd make a fun layering polish, I wasn't wrong as you can see below. The photo shows the colour change as it goes from light to dark, it's pretty awesome.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNVb-fbu7omgPkNIee1Pa7VEQL8HbXR74xuimH52VcQuvgZB_2UdkckboFI3DztQEeltzgLLRgZ25q0-1253AP2I1xLTnqEcxJ6HK0rqrXnvb_bbLWZFF0r1W3abu7lnqfe4suilTr4g/s1600/Ruby+Wing+Sweet+Cream+Graduated+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNVb-fbu7omgPkNIee1Pa7VEQL8HbXR74xuimH52VcQuvgZB_2UdkckboFI3DztQEeltzgLLRgZ25q0-1253AP2I1xLTnqEcxJ6HK0rqrXnvb_bbLWZFF0r1W3abu7lnqfe4suilTr4g/s1600/Ruby+Wing+Sweet+Cream+Graduated+.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">For this combination I started with two coats of Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure Ivory Skull which is my white of choice right now, then two of Ruby Wing Sweet Cream, and then on top of that one coat of Boots Seventeen Monochrome.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My idea was that indoors my nails would be white (or off-white as it turned out), and that the black glitter would show up along with the pretty pink shimmer in Sweet Cream. Then outdoors, it'd be the opposite, it'd be dark grey and the white glitter and shimmer would be what's seen.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here's photos of the colour change in action, it actually starts much paler, but I didn't get a photo of it, it changed before I could get a decent shot. Oh, and please don't look at my cuticles, they're such a mess right now. :-(</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I couldn't get enough of watching the colour change, it happens so quick and changes back just as quickly. It's a shame it doesn't turn completely black, but I still really like the blue toned grey and the pink shimmer works really well with it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The scent of this is quite nice, it's a sweet sugary smell, and I didn't mind it at all, although I wouldn't want to been seen sniffing my nails in public, it was another fun element to this manicure. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Have you picked up any of the Ruby Wing polishes, and what do you think of colour change polish?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think Freshcover is a US or Canadian brand as I've never seen it for sale in the UK and all the mentions of it online on other blogs seem to be from that part of the world, if you know more about the brand feel free to fill me in.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Black Gold is a sexy vampy colour and I have no idea what so ever why it's got the word gold in it's name as there's no gold to be found here. Anyway's, the colour is a deep blackened dark red shimmer, it's one of those polishes that glows from within when the light hits it and catches the shimmer, but when there's no light it almost looks black.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Okay so I probably took way too many photos, but who cares right? Most were outdoors in direct sunlight, the second from last was outdoors in shade, and the last one was indoors with indirect sunlight. I used two coats and it wasn't a bad formula.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The cap on these is a funny shaped chromed affair, but it does lift off and you have a stubby handle underneath. I'll have to try to get round to swatching the rest of my Freshcover polishes, I've picked up some nice colours and as I couldn't find much info about them it might help my fellow nail polish obsessives as there'll then be some more swatches out there of this brand for people to check out.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For those of you in the UK you fancy some Freshcover goodies I've found Freshcover polishes turn up over here in pound shops and more recently T J Hughes, and no doubt there'll be some on ebay and other online stores.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What do you think of Black Gold, does it get a gold medal or not, and have you picked up any Freshcovers yourself that are swoon worthy?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Oh dear, I did it again, I just couldn't resist those pound shops and bargain hunting and I've ended up with quite a haul again, good job I got extra Helmer's to keep all this extra polish in!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Models Own had a great 50% off sale so I snapped up a few things off my wish list including Disco Inferno which for some reason my local Boots store never get any stock of even though every other colour gets re-stocked. Other goodies include some super sexy Nubar duochromes, Bling-tastic Nail's Inc Crystal Cap's, Amazingly cheap China Glaze Crackles for £1 each, yet more Poundland Jess glitters, and some more Laura Paige, which is a brand based just down the road from me.</span></span><br />

And I'm still being wowed by Jess polishes, they just keep coming out with more amazing colours and I'm such a fan, I just wish I knew more about the company and who's behind it.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'd love to know what what goodies you've found lately, and if there's any polish you've got your eye on.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I adore old polishes like this, I wish I could find out when it was made and what collection it came from but I think I'd have to do alot of digging online to find out, I shall just have to be satisfied that it's in my stash as it is rather lovely.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rome (or number 193) is a funny orange, it's a bit of a colour shifter depending on the light, in the sun it's a bright orange but it's a more subdued dusty orange in the shade. It's a shimmer that it on the edge of being frosty, but whatever it is, it's pretty swoon worthy.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This had an amazing formula for an old polish, I could've almost got away with just doing one coat, but I did two as there was a tiny hint of vnl which I wanted to cover up. It dried nice and quick too. I wish L'Oreal still made polish like this, I like some of their newer stuff but I really hate the tiny bottles and high price tag so I don't buy any unless I find them cheap.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I do wonder when they stopped using this bottle shape, I really like it, although most of my bottles caps don't sit square with the bottle which really bugs me, but hey ho, I'd rather have a vintage polish with a wonky cap than none at all. :-)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What do you think of Rome, and do you have a favorite vintage L'Oreal?</span></span><br />

One thing I love (other than the £1 price tag) is that they are quite free and easy with their colours, I've found several polishes with one name but with different glitter mixtures inside, although the main colour seems to remain the same.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One of these polishes is Disco Diva. I thought I'd post some swatches of the different versions I've found as it's one of the colours that there's still several versions available in my local store and it might be the same by you, hopefully with my comparision swatches you can decide which version you want to hunt down.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Before I show you the swatches I'll list the variations and what they're like, starting with the newest version through to the oldest.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Version 4 - Deep Purple glitter, blue to green micro glitter, holo glitter, holo micro hair glitter, green to blue hex glitter, orange to blue hex glitter, purple holo shard glitter</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Version 3 - Lavender purple glitter, light blue glitter, green to blue hex glitter, orange to blue hex glitter, holo hex glitter, purple holo shard glitter</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Version 2 - Lavender purple glitter, blue micro glitter, holo hex glitter</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Version 1 - Lavender purple glitter, blue micro glitter, red micro glitter</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Basically Disco Diva is a purple glitter with various added elements, the first three all seem to share the same lavender glitter, and the last two share the same lovely colour changing hex glitter and purple holo shards.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My photos below really aren't the best, for some reason my camera just couldn't bring out the true colours, but the bottle shots above are true to life and are in the same order as the swatches. The swatches show the polishes at one, two and three coats and from left to right are version 4, 3, 2 and 1.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love all four versions, but 4 and 3 are the ones that rock my boat the most, I just can't resist colour changing glitter of any kind and the purple shards just top it off.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
For a polish collector Jess polishes are pretty awesome, in my stash some of my most treasured polishes are old ones by obscure cheap UK brands that were sold at my local market stall, I know that I'll probably never see another bottle and the colours all rock. Jess polishes will probably have the same appeal to a collector like me in the future, and can you imagine how much fun it'd be trying to track down all the different versions?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'll try to do some more posts about Jess polish once I've swatched them, there's some amazing glitters and I've got at least three more polishes where there's different versions of the same name.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cheerio for now,</span></span><br />
