GOT Polish Challenge - Blue

Hi Goddesses



How are you?  Sorry it's been a few days.  I started my new job on Monday, and to say I am pooped is an understatement.  I'm having a great time, but when I come home, all I want to do is sleep, so bear with me if things are quieter than usual for the next couple of weeks.





I wasn't going to miss GOT Polish though, and today's theme is blue.  I don't know that it's a bit cheaty that I went with turquoise, but they live in my Blue Box, so blues they are!





On base we have the sublime Oh My Oceania by Sation, one of my very favourite polishes (great application, amazing shimmer), and a polish I have actually worn a few times.





On stripes we have Ninja Polish Caribbean Reef, which I *think* was the polish I adored in 2012 but hadn't worn in 2013.   This is just turqouise amazingness - pure sparkle.





As you know, my camera doesn't really love turquoise, so all of these photos are a little faded compared to the real life majesty on my nails.





A simple look, but a winner.  Even Baby Crumpet thinks so :)

Simple Snowflakes

Hi Goddesses




A short and simple nail art post today.



You know I love to recycle my nails.  Well, a couple of weeks ago, when I was swatching Ninja Polish Caribbean Reef (over KIKO 387) and decided to stamp some snowflakes over it.



I decided to keep the sparkly theme of the polish and go with silver, but now I wish I had gone with white for a better contrast.



The stamping plate is LLC-A from Llarowe.

Enjoy xx :)

Review - Ninja Polish BLING! Collection

Hi Goddesses



A few weeks ago, I ordered my DRK-C plate from Ninja Polish, and Rhonni very kindly slipped 3 polishes in the package and asked me to review them.


I must be honest, I buy a LOT of my polishes from Llarowe, but recently, Ninja Polish has really upped its game AND started making their own line of polishes.  Even so, I thought they might be erm, "ordinary".  Oh dear, oh very deary me, how wrong I was.


When these 3 babies fell out of the box, I literally gasped.  Twinkly, glittery, and full of fairy fire, these 3 polishes are sensational.





Let's start with Eye Candy.  This was the first one that I tried, purely because I assumed it would be my favourite.  I layered this over KIKO 266, an intense, dark Royal Blue.




Made of the same tiny glitter dust as OPI Mad As A Hatter, Eye Candy is pure milled black magic.  Turquoise, violet, gold, black, purple tumble in a clear suspension.





This is like applying a glittery, liquid bruise.  Every colour bends and blends perfectly - it's just glorious, truly glorious.




On my nails, I couldn't decide whether it reminded me more of the galaxy or a particularly dark and sinister underwater cave - either way, it's sublime.





Sexy & I Know It is more or less the same polish but several clicks lighter.  I layered this over KIKO 336, a stunningly vivid bright blue.





S&IKI is a blend of finest turquoise, aqua, and fuschia glitters.   This is a magical fairy ocean potion.





This polish twinkles and winkles like so much happy.  The KIKO base couldn't have been more perfect.






And finally, the polish I expected to be a little bit meh about, but which is not only my favourite of the 3, but is actually one of my favourite polishes of the entire year - Caribbean Reef.





CR is a turquoisey teal glitter bomb, pure distilled mermaid heaven, and I layered this over KIKO 387, a turquoise.




Wow, this one actually took my breath away.  Let's ignore the sparkle for a moment, even though that's almost impossible - what impressed me most about this glitter was how glossy and shiny it was.  It literally GLISTENED.




The colour itself is just stunning.  I've had China Glaze Atlantis in my untrieds box for over a year now, and frankly, owning CR, I don't think I need to bother with it.




This is just pure, twinkly, mermaid heaven.  It glittered like Caribbean seas .. wow, that teeny tiny ounce of holographic glitter ... wow, like the sun bouncing off the clearest ocean.


So there you have it - 3 stunning polishes, and Rhonni is adding to her own line all the time.   You can follow Ninja Polish on Facebook HERE and visit their website HERE.  These polishes were sent to me for an honest review and would usually cost $9.

Enjoy xx :)
