Hi Goddesses
If you're part of any nail-related Facebook groups, you'll know that EVERYBODY has been talking about today's polish. Not only that, but I hear even their cats have been purring about it too!
Said polish is Berry Good Looking by Cupcake Polish. It's a brand that had been on my periphary for a while. I'd almost bought on several occasions, but then realised she didn't ship to the UK.
Anyway, then one day, bloggers started previewing her latest collection. Every time I saw a photo of this polish I gasped. Hell, I even think I peed a little. Because quite simply, this is a polish that absolutely SLAYS you.
I'm a sucker for bright pinks and berries, and this is almost stratospherically bright. It's deeply saturated and flirts with purple, but mostly, it's all about the wow.
Wearing it, wow, I just couldn't stop staring. Whatever angle I viewed my nails from, I was transfixed, especially ay 11am, which is when the sun shines PERFECTLY on my desk at work lol.
Weirdly, this polish is almost a one-coater. I find that extraordinary. I've always believed a holo should be thin, so that it can build majestically, but here's your exception. It's also ever so faintly metallic in composition (or seems to me) and I think that adds to its opacity and its crazy, off-the-scale bendiness.
Will there be a polish to top this, this year? I seriously doubt it. This one has taken everybody by storm. Ah, but wouldn't it be an amazing world if there were another 10 polishes just as good as this one ...... sigh.
Bravo, Sara Casey, so much bravo xxx
Hi Goddesses
Once upon a time, there was a little Crumpet who did not like teal polishes. Oh no no no no.
But then, someone cast a spell upon her, and gradually she found herself drawn to the witchy beauty of the colour which was not green, yet was not blue.
Then there was a time when she put this colour upon her nails, and sang with pleasure for the witchy aspect it gave her, and how it spoke to her witchy soul.
And from thenceforth she was smitten, and verily did she seek the teal magic for her nails. Eventually, she happened upon The Witching Hour, a polish of such beauty that she gasped, and did race to wear it upon her nails.
Once worn, she marvelled at its cool and vicious depths, the witchy way the polish was blue ... and yet also green .... and how the holographic beauty chilled her toxic heart, and reminded her of the pine trees from which she was born.
Smitten, she was, and so shalt you be :)

Hi Goddesses
Today I have a screamer of a polish for you - welcome Cast A Spell by Darling Diva.
This is an incredible orange holo - it's bright, but not brashly or overly so (and there's a subtle distinction there) and it's just so blooming perfect on the nail!
The slight metallic qualities in this polish, really push this orange in a perfect direction. I love that they augment the colour, without turning it up to 11 - I hate when you need sunglasses with your orange polish.
This manages to be cool AND warm at the same time (don't as me how) and is a really lovely orange holo.

Hi Goddesses
One of things I love most about this Witchee Collection from Darling Diva is how perfectly autumnal it is. It's as if Carrie found a magic formula that distilled the colours of our season into perfect, liquid form.
The Arcanist is a perfect example. It's red, but in a way only autumn can capture. There are brown edges to this red, making it warm, and ever so slightly faded.
This is a really beautiful polish. I like that it's not your normal red holo, and I love that it IS autumn in a bottle.
Best of all is the bend in this polish, which takes it from red to burgundy to brown. It hints at pink and life, whilst always maintaining its dying-leaf heart.
