Work Wear Wednesday - KIKO 319 Light Dove

Hi Goddesses

A fabulous greige for you today, and from one of my favourite brands, KIKO.

This is 319 lol aka Light Dove and it's a beautiful pale taupe with grey leanings.

The best thing about it is the fabulously glossy KIKO formula, giving it a glassy shine which works beatifully with the colour.

If you're looking for a taupe or a greige, you really don't need to look any further.

Enjoy xx :)

Work Wear Wednesday - Nail Pattern Boldness Sense Out of Non-Sense

Hi Goddesses

This is an old old old post from a long time ago, and on the surface, it might seem a very odd choice for WWW.

This is Sense Out of Non-Sense by Nail Pattern Boldness and it's a thick beige glitter, with champagne and gold mixed in.

So why WWW?  Well, from a distance, it looks a very safe, office colour, all nude and subtle.  It's only up close that you can see the subtlety of the glitter mix.

Secondly, as you can see on the accent nail, it's a very subtle way to add a little extra something to a mani, without it being too obvious or noticeable.

I like that this is so unusual too.  Enjoy xx :)

Work Wear Wednesday - Nails Inc Charlotte Mews

Hi Goddesses

Despite it being a British brand, I am not a huge Nails Inc fan. Whilst I admire their attempts to be ahead of the curve, I generally find them over-priced and not worth the hype.

This, though, is a polish I would recommend to anybody.  Charlotte Mews is an absolutely stunning lilac, with occasional blue leanings.

Everytime I wear this, it takes my breath away.  There is just something stunning about this colour, like plumes of pigeon-lilac smoke.

I love the amount of grey in this one, it just washes down to a more interesting shade.

Total winner.  

Work Wear Wednesday - Dandy Nails Bound To Fall

Hi Goddesses

In real life, grey is a colour I have no time for.  You're not black, you're not white?  Make your mind up!  In a polish, however, it can look stunning, and it seems to play off my skin tone really well.

Bound To Fall is perhaps the most beautiful grey I own.  It's dark, like smoke, with ever such a slight teal hint to it.

It's then flecked in the most beautiful way with darker grey pieces and super micro pieces, and the overall effect is just beyond gorgeous.

In some ways, this polish is very animal to me.  It's complex enough that you can imagine this as the plummage of an exotic bird, or the fur of a hitherto undiscovered tiger.

I don't often say this, but YOU MUST HAVE this polish.  It's crazy brilliant.  LOVE.

Enjoy xx :)

Work Wear Wednesday - Different Dimension Emily

Hi Goddesses

So, because I am rubbish, I forgot to post this yesterday lol.  WEDNESDAY.  Work Wear WEDNESDAY ... as is so often the case, there is no hope :(

A glitter today, but a subtle one, from one of my favourite indies, Different Dimension.

Emily has a pale blue base which is loaded with white, lemon and blue micro-glitter, making it looked like shredded shells on the beach.

There is a gentle tranquility to this polish, and I love the way the glitters catch the light.

From a distance, this looks like a normal pale blue polish, and it's not til you're up close that you can see how special it is.

Beautifully serene.  Enjoy xx :)

Work Wear Wednesday - Stronger by DIFFERENT DIMENSION

Hi Goddesses

Firstly, apologies that the WWW posts haven't been regular.  I know they were really popular with a lot of people, but I've struggled to be inspired by the theme, not being a natural pale polish person.  I will however keep it in spirit, and any polish that's remotely relevant will be posted in this slot - I have some gorgeous lilacs and Contrary Polishes waiting in the wings.

I swatched this a little while ago, but for some reason didn't get round to posting it.  This was sent to me for review, and really, I have no excuse.  I think it was doing a WWW post that put me off!

 This is the sister polish to the dusty lilac Wide Awake and it is just an outstanding polish in every way.  It's a grey-blue holo, not dissimilar to pale denim, and it is just beyond gorgeous.

I love how such a cold colour grabs such a golden glow from the holo rainbow.   Really, it didn't take much effort to get this baby to show off.

This also has tiny speckles of blue glitter in it, giving it a multi-dimensional wow factor.  The twinkle of the glitter is sublime. Seriously, this is one gorgeous polish.

You can buy Different Dimension HERE and follow on Facebook HERE.  Missi is currently one of my favourite polishmakers - she's effortlessly inventive and everything she makes is sublime, gorgeous and full of wow.

Enjoy xx :)

Work Wear Wednesday - Wide Awake by Different Dimension

Hi Goddesses

Right now, one of my very favourite indie brands is Different Dimension.  I love her quirkiness, her 100% commitment to colour and her sense of humour :)  I've bought quite a few of her polishes, and Missi has also sent me some for review, and this is one of the latter.

Wide Awake is, in many ways, a very unusual polish for Different Dimension.  It's not overloaded with crazy glitter or colour that's turned up to 11, but wow ..... somehow it still packs a punch.

This is a pinky beige scattered holo ... wait for it .... with microscopic shimmer glitter.  That means you get 2 effects on your nails - the holo-oh-oh and then the pink shimmery kaleidoscope.  It's nothing short of knockout.

The shimmer is hiding in these photos, but it's there.  When you take the polish off, it's there, just under the surface.    This is what makes it so perfect for workwear - it might LOOK neutral, and sedate, but there's quite the party going on.

I absolutely loved this. It's delicate enough to be a palate cleanser, classy enough to look sophisticated, and sexy enough to be putting on a show that not everyone can see.

You can buy Different Dimension HERE as well as at various other online stores, and follow her on Facebook HERE.

This polish was sent to me for an honest review - enjoy :) xx
