Hi Goddesses
One of my purchasing holy grails this last summer was The Perfect Pink Holo. For you obviously, not for me, oh no, not for me AT ALLLLL ....
I purchased one or two or 6 in the process, and this lovely was one of them. It's less brash than the 2 Lilypads I bought (and who I feel really rule the roost), but it's probably the "perfect" shade if you're looking for bright, without the permanent requirement for sunglasses.
This is beautiful in colour and tone, and ... it's just one of those polishes that can make you happy just by wearing it.
I then did some stamping over it. I have no idea why I chose owls, but apparently I did lol. They are from Cheeky Jumbo plate 4 - Top of the Class.
The pink and the gold work beautifully together, and the owls look quite happy about the whole thing too.
I especially love that the pattern is "empty" enough that you can still fully appreciate the polish beneath it.
A Few Shah = winner :)
Hi Goddesses
Sometimes, I literally astound myself. Like a lot of you, I bought the ILNP ultra holos when they first came out, way back in June (?). I swatched them pretty quickly .... and only now, 6 months later do they end up on the blog. No, I have no idea why either.
Today we have one of the ultra holos that ILNP released last summer, with a little bit of crazy zebra stamping!
A Touch of Mint is a lovely shade - calm and cooling, it's one of those polishes that will never grow old.
It's not too green, and not too stark, making it beautifully delicate.
The holo in this is subtle, as befits this colour - anything more and I think the perfection of the colour would have been lost.
I then wanted to do some colour clash stamping, so I picked up a Konad Fuchsia and this zebra pattern from Cheeky Plate 9 - Wild At Heart.
Mint and fuchsia just work so well together - one is cool, the other hot; one is fragile, the other bold. The pay off is great, although I think I might run if I saw this creature in real life lol.
Hi Goddesses
How are you feeling? Are you fed up of the nasty weather? Well how about this polish to banish that meh feeling?
This was one of my polishes of the year last year. Truth be told, I actually bought it half way through December just so that it could be featured, because it seemed wrong to review the year without it.
From the moment I first saw this, it blew me away. I've developed a real love of oranges, as they make me feel instantly happy, but it's the flakiness of this that makes me weak at the knees.
This is pure citrus sensationalnessism, and that name! How can you resist a polish called RuPaulogize??
God bless the geniusnessiosity of Darling Diva :)
Hi Goddesses
Ok, you really really REALLY need to be sitting down for this.
