Above The Curve - Doctor Who Collection

Hi Goddesses



And welcome to the final post featuring Above The Curve polishes I was sent for review.   This one has the Doctor Who polishes, and don't tell the other 2 collections, but these ones were my favourites :)





Again, there's some very un-Crumpet-y polishes in this mix, of which Banana To A Party is the first one - yellow.  Yeh.





Despite it's unashamed yellowness, this polish does have beauty and depth in all the shimmery fleckiness.






Donna is just fabulous.  A rich dark orange, faintly metallic, this is as distinct as the character it represents.






This has holographic dusts that sits ON rather than within the polish.  This is a true beauty.  Titian terrificness.






Pretend It's A Plan is a violet-edged purple holo.  This one was quite bright on the nail, and made a lovely change to other more pedestrian purples.






The sizzle makes this polish - if you want a purple that will stand out from the crowd, this one's for you.






The Silence may just be THE polish of the collection.  This is a fantastically deep blackened purple holo.  Utterly mesmerising.






Actually, is that right?  Is it blackened purple, or is it purple-flecked black?  Either way, this burns with dark light.  A masterpiece.






The Tardis.  Ok, I struggled a little with this one, because it's not Tardis blue, and I don't get why it's not.






Still, this is a nice, deep oceanic blue, very much the twin to Donna, and full of light.






You Call Me Sexy is a metallic red, deep in tone.






Again, this is twinned with Donna and The Tardis and shares their metallic and holo-dust properties.






And finally, everybody's favourite quote - Wibbly Wobbley Timey Wimey :)  Who doesn't ADORE that episode and that moment?






This is a multichrome micro glitter, and I have it layered here over Thracian Sea by Elevation Polish.


All in all this collection is an absolute winner.  Dark in tone, this has some really standout polishes. These polishes were sent to me for an honest review and can be purchased HERE.

#52WPNMC Dark Green - SLITHEEN by Above The Curve

Hi Goddesses



The colour prompt for this week's #52WPNMC is dark green, and whilst green doesn't always love me, dark greens tend to be easier for me to wear.





Today I have a beauty which was sent for review by Above The Curve Polish.    Slitheen is a dark, murky, swampy-muddy green and I kinda like it.





I love the sludginess of this polish and that it's so unfathomable - this is waaaaaaay dark green!   Despite that, the light does shine through, giving off the occasional golden glow.





There's a reptilian perfection to this polish which I love.  It's also interesting because it is built on a warm brown base rather than the colder bases we usually see with dark greens (most are pine-green green).





The Slitheen were cute things / dangerous things in Doctor Who, space invaders if you will ... so what else was I going to stamp on my nails but .... YES space invaders hahaha.




The image is from MoYou Back To the 80s 04, and the stamping is with Color Club Kismet.




Sadly, the holoeyness was a bit much for the camera, and it looks more like lime green ants marching over my nails.  Still, you get the idea!
