Hello Kitty Got Dat Thang & Barry M Diamond Glitter

Hello everyone!

Today I have a post with two newly released polishes for you! I have one of the new Hello Kitty polishes, named Got That Thang. These polishes are available from Superdrug stores and online for £4.99, the bottles are also in the shape of Hello kitty so they're super cute! The other polish I have to show you today is a new Barry M called Diamond Glitter, it's so sparkly and beautiul! Barry M are available from Boots and Superdrug and also online for £2.99 each.

Here's a bottle shot for you!

The Hello kitty bottle is just so cute! Plus I love pink so it was the first one I had to pick up, however, I think that £4.99 is quite expensive for a drug store brand polish that's mainly aimed at little kids. The Barry M is beautiful as you can see from the bottle shot, it's super sparkly and well worth it's price tag.

I used two coats of Hello Kitty Got Dat Thang for the base on all of my nails, I could have gotten away with one coat if I was careful but my tips had a few bald patches that another coat neatened up nicely.  I then added one coat of Barry M Diamond Glitter over the top, I think this glitter is just beautiful. It applied lovely and I had no problem with getting the glitter to distribute evenly.

The only problem I had with the Hello Kitty polishes was that the brsh had some splayed out bristles, they were easy eough to just cut off but I feel that for £4.99 the brush should have been better quality. Overall, I really enjoyed using these two polishes and I think that they're both beautiful polishes :)

What do you think to my new nail shape? and the two new polishes? let me know in the comments :)

Models Own Wonderland Collection Swatches

Hello everyone!

Today I managed to get hold of two of the new models own wonderland polishes! So I rushed home as soon as I could to swatch them for you all! These polishes are currently available in boots stores for £5 each, however they are currently running a 3 for 2 promotion on cosmetics. Run to your nearest boots store and pick these gorgeous polishes up!!!

 

First up is Models Own Northern Lights. Models Own describe this polish as "a fine holographic multi-tonal glitter in a pink finish." I think this description is spot on. One coat of this polish leaves you with a sparse glitter top coat, while using three coats will give you a completely opaque look. The polish is not thick or thin, it is the perfect consistancy and is easy to work with, it applies beautifully to the nail and sparkles in the light, here's some more pictures of this gorgeous polish...

 

 This is one coat of Northern Lights over OPI Pink Friday, Revlon Lunar, Barry M White & OPI Rumples Wiggin'. As you can see this polish is also gorgeous to layer and adds a lovely sparkle to all of the base colours, I especially like it over black :)

Moving on to Models Own Southern Lights. Models Own describe this polish as "an opaque holographic multi-tonal glitter in a lilac finish". I agree with this description again, I think it's pretty spot on. This polish is purple based with glitter and holo glitter. Here it is on it's own with three coats...

And here it is layered over different base colours, with one coat of Southern Lights on each nail...

I apologies for the quick post, I was just so excited to show these polishes to you guys! They're so beautiful and I highly recommend that you go and buy them as soon as you can :)  I should have some more swatches of these polishes up tomorrow in daylight for you all to enjoy :)

Please let me know what you think of these polishes in the comments :)

China Glaze Deviantly Daring Swatches

Hello everyone!

Just a quick post from me today. I went on a massive nail polish haul yesterday, oops! :P I visited my local beauty supply and almost cried when I spotted the New Bohemian collection from China Glaze. I only picked up Deviantly Daring though as I'd nearly ran out of money at this point :( So here it is!

This polish is truly beautiful. It's a beautiful blue teal that flashes green in certain lights. It reminds me of Zoya Charla without the glass flecks.

I used two coats of Deviantly Daring for all these swatches, however you could definitely get away with one coat. The application was flawless, I'd liken it to spreading butter :P I think this polish really speaks for itself in the pictures, it's so gorgeous! I just can't stop staring at my nails, I'll be doing something and I'll catch a flash of green and have to have another look at them :P

I'm so glad I picked this beauty up. If you haven't already bought this, then run and do it now!! You seriously won't regret it! :)

Models Own Indian Ocean & Ibiza Mix Swatches

Hello everyone :)
I have a swatch post for you today on two of my new Models Own Polishes - Indian Ocean & Ibiza Mix.

So I'll start out with Ibiza Mix...

From top to bottom: Revlon Lunar, OPI What's With The Cattitude?, OPI Pink Friday, OPI Alpine Snow. All with one coat of Models Own Ibiza Mix.

This glitter will look great over all colours. I also think it'd be a good polish to use in glitter sandwich mani's, I will be posting swatches of this soon :)

Next up Models Own Indian Ocean...

This is one coat (left) and two coats (right) of Indian Ocean over the following polishes:

Top to bottom: OPI What's With The Cattitude?, OPI Pink Friday, OPI Ogre The Top Blue & OPI Alpine Snow.

And this is one coat of Indian Ocean over Revlon Lunar. Again, this polish looks beautiful over many different colours. I really like how different it appears using different base colours.






Do you own either of these Models Own polishes? what is your favourite combination to wear them with? let me know in the comments :)
