A ENGLAND –
Lady of the Lake
!! Crumpet
Top 10 Changer !!
Hi
Goddesses
Oh. My.
God.
We need
rapturous applause, and then awed hush.
Ladies, I have just become the overwhelmed owner of Lady of the Lake, a
polish of such delicacy and beauty that I may not be able to stop talking about
it. EVER.
I’ve seen
this polish blogged several times. I am
here to tell you that whatever you have read does not even *begin* to describe
the sheer majesty, perfection and awe of this polish. This is regal, awesome, grand and just damned
fine. Man, this is the polish of all
time.
I want to
start first with the colour, because my camera (which hates purples) has not
been very kind to you. It’s not as blue
or as greyed out as the photos make it appear.
This is a beautiful dusty purple.
No brown or red tones, yet somehow not cold either. The purple is deep, and indigo hued –
dazzling, without being bright.
This
beautifully serene colour is then mixed with a holographic suspension that is
divine. The particles are the smallest I
have ever seen, giving this a rainbow shimmer that is just to die for. When I say this polish is “fine”, I mean it in
2 senses: fine as in lovely, and fine as in the exquisite intricacy of the
holographic particles. I’ve talked about
how the Milanis use a coarser particle – well, this is as fine as you can go
and yet still exist.
I’ve tried
really hard, but I don’t know if any of my photos do this Goddess justice.
Close up the holo is mesmeric – it is a rainbow dance of the teensiest pixies,
a mist of holographic dust, the very finest of micro-organisms. The holo almost seems to float, suspended,
between the base coat and my top coat, as if the particles are locked into
rainbow bubbles of awesomeness. This is
some serious wow.
The rainbow
in this is just beautiful, and soooo subtle, again due to the fineness of the
particles. Predominantly, this glows
golden, adding warmth to what would otherwise be a cold-hearted purple. The holo isn’t linear, but sits there,
suspended and scattered like a duvet of fairy dust, epic and magical.
So, I
commented last night that I had perhaps found the most perfect purple of all
time. More than that, there is a new
Number 1 polish in CrumpetLand, which means that at the weekend, I have the
very difficult task of tossing something else out of the Top 10 (holy crap, how
am I going to break the news to the goddess who doesn’t make the cut ??!!)
This is BY
FAR the best holographic purple of all time.
Better than Glitter Gal. I have
an Ozotic purple holo on order, which should arrive within the week. When it
does, I’ll do you a comparison post on the 5 purple holos I own (OMG that is
such an outrageous statement lol – was 1 not enough for me ?? no …..), but this is the winner by a country
mile, not just because of her overall beauty, but especially because of how
deeply pigmented she is – this IS the dark purple holo to end the search of all
dark purple holos.
If I get
some sunlight, I will update the photos – I’m really not happy that you’re
seeing her in enough glory, and she deserves that, because more than anything,
glorious is absolutely what she is.
Enjoy xx
oh, you can’t because she’s mine hahahahahah evil laugh xxx mwah J
Enjoy xx J

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
