Tri Polish Challenge - Rasta Nails

Hi Goddesses

I'd like to start with a massive, heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you who left a comment on this blog or on Facebook last night.   Pumpkin was an amazing cat, and I am touched that so many of you shared your own stories and condolences.  Thank you.  It meant a lot to Beth too, and I am proud to know so many animal lovers :)

For some reason, today's nails make me absurdly happy.  Every time I look at them, I just grin :)

To be fair, this isn't my genius idea.  I was enraptured when I saw Jen from My Nail Polish Obsession post something very similar identical a few weeks ago, and just knew I had to give it a try.

The polishes are all Barry M - Blood Orange, Yellow and Emerald Green - and I smooshed them together in a gradient.

I love how I got a little bit of orange in places, and also how the shimmer bled into other parts of the mani.

My black and white glitter is Dollish Polish Putting On The Ritzzz.  I am forever in awe of how great these black and white glitters look over gradients.

So, happy nails for my happy-ish birthday (don't ask my age) - enjoy xx :)

A to Z of Polish - D is for Dollish Polish

Hi Goddesses

Wow, it seems a long time ago that I started this series.  I really hoped to be steaming through it, but each post takes soooo long to put together .... yup, that's my excuse.

So, brands that begin with D .... Dior - don't own any, Different Dimension - new indie maker, polishes look sensational, Dandy Nails - don't own any ..... but I DO own lots of Dollish Polish :)

Dollish was perhaps the first indie brand I feel hard for, and it's still a brand I have a lot of affection for.  All of Dolly's polishes are top quality, and if you're looking for an indie brand to try, she's a great starting place.   Her polishes apply perfectly, and whilst she does make a lot of glitterbombs, she does other types of polishes too.

In ye olde days, Dollish Polish used to sell on Etsy, and now she's moved to BigCartel, Overall Beauty and Llarowe.   She releases themed collections which have a whiff of nostalgia to them, and she has a genuine eye for what makes great colour combinations.

I can honestly say I have never been disappointed with a Dollish.  Sure, there have been some that once I've worn them I decided they "weren't me", but every single one has been made with quality and creativity.  

Here are some from the Crumpet vault -

Nice Scrunchie, Heather - pure 50s perfection

We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat - blue + copper = sublime

I'm A Material Girl - pink girliness

Random Dancing - my favourite glitter of all time

Hip Hop Hippity Hop - pure sweet girliness

Putting On The Ritzzzz - a black and white glitter that's as good as any glitter out there

Zombie Flesh - green perfection

Deadly Nightshade - purple and green gorey awesomeness

I still have a few more Dollishes I've not managed to wear yet - jeez, I think I could do 365 Days of Untrieds .... sooooo naughty.

Enjoy xx :)

Indie Week - Dollish Polish - Putting On The Ritzzz!

Hi Goddesses

Indie Week ends with another Dollish Polish - mainly because she's in My Top 5 of Indie Makers.  She makes a quality product, doesn't chuck bags of pre-mixed glitters in a coloured base, has imagination and a thorough testing process and most of all, makes polishes that make me go oooooooooooh!

Putting On The Ritzzz! is one of the many many black and white polishes on the market, but crucially (for me, anyway) this is devoid of any hairy glitter.   So what you get is a delicious soup of black and white glitter of all sizes, that looks good against pretty much any kind of base colour.

All these photos are over brights.  We've got a sky blue skittle (which featured in the Which Sky Blue is the Sky Blue For You post here), Bettina Apple Green (here) and a corking magenta from Jesse's Girl called Fashion Friday.

Basically, you can't lose with this polish.  It looks awesome whatever you pair it with, and there's something about black and white glitter that gives everything the wow factor.

Wonderful.   Dollish Polish is now also available at Llarowe.

Enjoy xx :)
