Long time no post, sorry! A few reasons for that - first of all I have a new job and I've been keeping my nails quite conservative in shape and colour most of the time so I don't have much to post about. And second, I have a big open water swim coming up and I've been doing quite a bit of swimming outside, in my wetsuit. Long nails, pointy nails and nails with square corners aren't wetsuit compatible, so another reason to keep my nails this shortish, rounded shape. Once the open water season is over I'll grow them and reshape them.....<br />
<br />
But I like this mani I did last night so I did take some pictures! The base is Seche Simple But Significant, a pretty light beige. Nails Inc Britten Street itself is a pretty, easy to use blue glitter comprising light blue and white microglitter and squares in three shades of blue. All the glitters are matte, which is definitely my preference! I just used one coat, since I wanted to keep the effect quite sparse.<br />

Scented polishes that smell of old fashioned sweeties - what fun! I have three polishes from Models Own new Sweet Shop collection. First, here's Coca Cola Bottles - this is a pretty chocolately taupe with a gold shimmer and tiny pearly glitters. Really pretty and perfectly work appropriate, and it does smell of coca cola. Actually, the smell reminded me of a moment at last weekend's ultramarathon - flat, slightly warm coca cola is a staple drink given to runners at aid stations as its easy available sugar and being flat and warm easy to drink without making you burp or shocking your stomach. When I was filling my water bottle I caught sight of the marshall pouring huge bottles of cola into a big bowl in the sun to go flat and warm and it smelt quite strong! The colour of this also reminds me of those chocolate custards I like to slurp down when running too - I'm sure this polish will be popular with ultrarunners everywhere, lol. </div>

I have to say I struggled a bit with the formula on this, I found it thick but sheer at the same time. I used two coats at first, but I thought it looked patchy, so I added a third to get a coverage I was happy with. But then my Seche Vite didn't play nicely with the polish and I got a bit of shrinkage at the tips. In spite of this, I like the colour and finish enough to want to wear the polish again. </div>

Next is Rhubarb and Custard, a yummy blue-toned red jelly with microglitter, presumably representing the sugar in the sweeties. Smells lovely, great colour, easy formula - this one is great. Top coat is essential to smooth out the glitter (but you'd expect this with any polish containing this much glitter).<br />

Bonus for me with this polish, it was a perfect match for the red bits in the complimentary buff I got from the race I was talking about earlier. I don't have a polish this colour in my collection, so it's sure to get worn again. I'm not sure why I have so few red polishes; I like red, and wear it often, but whenever I'm buying polish I always pass over the reds thinking 'Oh, they're just red, I've got red'. Then whenever I want a *specific* red for nail art or something, I don't have it. </div>

Here's the last, and my favourite. Gumball - a perfect bubblegum pink. Perfect colour, perfect formula. Two coats plus topcoat here. And it smells of bubblegum. In fact I've been wearing it for three days now, and it still smells of bubblegum, after two long swims and through my topcoat!</div>

This is a bit of a first-ever for me... stamping designs that don't cover the whole nail! I was asked if I'd like to review a few products from the MoYou Nails collection, including one of their stamping polishes of my choice, and I jumped at the opportunity, since my default white stamping polish (Sally Hansen InstaDri in Whirlwind White) is almost used up and I'm not sure where I'd find another bottle!</div>

I received <a href="http://moyounails.com/product/white-nail-polish/" target="_blank">MoYou Special Stamping polish in White</a>, <a href="http://moyounails.com/product/moyou-stamp-scraper-white/" target="_blank">MoYou Stamper and plastic scraper</a> and image plates 105 and 106 to try out. <a href="http://moyounails.com/product/image-plate-106/" target="_blank">106</a> is a set of french tips. I've been intrigued by these for years, but a little scared, and I've had a few unsuccessful attempts with tip images that came with other sets of plates. So a little nervous to try this out, I selected this floral image.... </div>

This was rather easy to place - maybe because of my current nail shape and I loved the effect! The base mani is Rescue Beauty Lounge Dead Calm, an old shade that is my favourite navy blue ever. </div>

I found the white stamping polish dense and opaque, without being thick at all - so it spread perfectly over the plate and was easily removed by the plastic scraper. The stamper I was sent was a *bit* squishy; I've not had great success with full-on-squishy stampers I've tried, and always end up going back to my old Konad stamper, which is really too small for my nails. But this one works great and I'm really happy with it. I roughed up the surface a bit with an emery board before I started, but I found the stamper picked up the image perfectly from the plate and transferred it very easily to my nails. My nails are not the easiest to stamp on, because I have quite a high c-curve, but this stamper handles that very well. </div>

Great so far - I'm very impressed by the polish, the stamper and the quality of the plate. I was a bit too hasty putting topcoat over my design and ended up with micro-streaks that show up in the pictures (but didn't in real life). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second plate was <a href="http://moyounails.com/product/image-plate-105/" target="_blank">105</a>, a selection of individual heart images. I decided to test these out over a textured polish (Binky London Crystal Pink) and create a skittle design. My favourite image on the plate is the grafitti style heart in the middle; I used this on my index finger for a full image, off centre on my ring finger and multiple times on my middle finger to create a random whole nail graffiti pattern. Then I chose a different heart for my little finger. I love how this turned out and the application of the stamped images to the textured polish was a breeze. </div>

So I'm giving a big thumbs up for the <a href="http://moyounails.com/product/moyou-stamp-scraper-white/" target="_blank">stamper</a>, the plastic scraper is fine (although I always find an old plastic card perfectly adequate for this job) and comes as a bundle with the stamper anyway, the plates are good quality and stamp very well (and gave me the chance to try designs I'd probably not have chosen otherwise, as I tend to always go for full nail images) and the white stamping polish seems great.... before I decide if I want to make it my default white stamping and nail art polish I wanted to try a couple of other things though... </div>

Full nail stamped design with a plate from my collection - the polish handled perfectly! I wanted a soft effect for this mani, so it has a layer of white jelly (Sally Hansen Polar Bare) over the stamping. The grey is Barry M Gelly in Almond.</div>

And lastly - is it opaque enough for dots? I think so - these dots over a dark chocolate brown (Megan Miller Ganache) certainly pass muster by my standards. So I'd definitely recommend MoYou's white polish for stamping and other nail art!</div>

The Binky London textured polish was a review sample (see <a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/binky-london-crystal-pink-and-enchanted.html" target="_blank">this post</a> for my review of this polish). Everything else I used in these designs is from my own collection and was purchased by me.<br />

I have two new shades from Binky London; this brand launched at the end of last year with some great classic shades I reviewed <a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/binky-london-swatch-and-review.html" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/binky-london-swatch-review-2-including.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/binky-london-swatch-and-review-part-3.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I was really impressed with the formula of the first polishes, and the shape of the brush, which makes application super-easy, so I was excited to receive new colours from the brand to try out.<br />
<br />
Let's start with Pink Crystal. This is a rose pink texture glitter, easy to apply and super pretty.<br />

I used just two coats for this mani, no basecoat (and no topcoat, but I don't need to say that!) so really quick to do. Although it's textured, the polish isn't too thick, so it's quite easy to handle, and the big, round ended brush makes it easy to get a neat edge. I didn't do any kind of clean up for this mani! I would say that some people might find the big brush a bit unusual at first, especially with the textured polish, but do persevere because the results are well worth it once you get used to it.<br />

The other Binky polish I was sent to review is a fabulous bright emerald creme, Enchanted Green. My pictures just don't capture how stunning this colour is, but I absolutely loved wearing this. The formula surprised me though - based on the Binky polishes I've reviewed already I was expecting this to be smooth and easy to apply, but it wasn't. It was thick and a bit sticky, and made worse by the big brush, which seemed make it go on rather streaky. At two coats it looked lumpy, but trusty Seche Vite topcoat smoothed it out a treat and I like the colour so much I can forgive a slightly tricky application. It was a hot day when I used this polish; that might have affected the consistency too. </div>

I'm on something of a roll with the dots - they're so fun and summery. I think dots, especially big ones, are my favourite nail art style. The base for this mani is Nails Inc Seven Dials, a soft emerald green and I did the dots with Megan Miller Latte. The colour of the dots surprised me a bit, as Megan Miller Latte is a soft coffee shade... but its rather sheer, so over the green became this interesting mustard. Not quite what I'd planned, but I like it all the same!<br />

Since people keep asking about the big dots, I use one of my <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=doming+punch&oq=doming+punch&aqs=chrome..69i57.5497j0j8&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8" target="_blank">silversmiths doming punches</a> to do these. I have a bag of them in different sizes, and I usually just pull one out at random. The very biggest ones don't dot well (the dots become more like streaks) - I get the best results from tools that are about 5mm diameter. To be honest, any hard spherical object will make good dots, it just needs to be easy to handle - so these tools are great because they come with a handle. Before I thought about using these I made dots with various household objects - brush handles, bits of jewellery etc.<br />

I bought Megan Miller Latte recently from <a href="http://www.cutecosmetics.co.uk/megan-miller-3-free-nail-polish-latte-2018-p.asp" target="_blank">CutECOsmetics</a>; I've not worn it on its own yet but I will make a post about it when I get around to doing so!UKNailRunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16563187425673058690noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735494914628750290.post-21633226308386443542014-07-16T04:09:00.000-07:002014-07-16T04:09:00.365-07:00Pink Gradient with dots...<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

A bit of jolly nail art for my newly rounded nails! I chose a couple of blue-leaning pinks for the gradient (Essie Go Ginza and DJ Play That Song), then added nude dots with Barry M Lychee. I put the dots on straight away, so no pictures of the gradient on its own, sorry! The gradient was done with my usual method of a fine, damp makeup sponge; I painted one coat of the lighter pink (Go Ginza) to give the gradient a base. DJ Play That Song is rather jellyish, but the formula blended well with the other Essie polish for the gradient and I love how the pale pink base of Go Ginza really makes the colour pop.<br />

I really enjoyed this combination of colours, and I'm getting used to the new shape now - I was sad when I finally had to remove this mani the other day because there was too much growth around my cuticles.<br />

From the moment I first saw this colour, I knew I just had to have it! Even though I knew I'd hate the finish - all the pictures I'd seen showed it to be a slightly rubbery, satiny finish. So I resisted buying it, but then I gave in.... it's a fabulous shade of parrot green, and with topcoat, I love it! The formula was a bit strange, and I needed three coats, but that's OK - well worth it for a colour like this :) I don't think I have a dupe for this shade either - it's greener (and much denser) than OPI Who The Shrek Are You or Priti NYC Envy and yellower than Gosh Early Green or Priti NYC Stonecrop. And darker than Butter London Wellies. Yes, I have a bit of a thing for yellowy greens!</div>

Oh, and I've been fiddling with my nail shape again. This was kind of symbolic... I've just finished a years training for a job I've realised I don't want to do, and I want to move on now. So, amongst other things, I shaped my nails to a shape they've never been before. I can't say I liked them much at first, but I did resist just filing them straight back to squares and now I am starting to like them. They're also much more wetsuit, phone and keyboard friendly than either of my usual shapes, which is a bonus... not to mention since there are no corners, there can be no frustrating *curling corners* as my nails get longer!<br />

Here's a self indulgent post about some of my favourite things - yellow polish and black and white glitter! My newest yellow polish and my oldest black and white glitter, to be exact. This is Butter London Pimms. It's not a new shade, I think it was from BL's autumn 2013 collection, but when I saw it in my local Boots last week it just seemed so bright and perfect for summer I had to buy it! I don't have a yellow quite like it - I usually go for paler, lemony yellows, greenish yellows, mucky yellows or mustard yellows - avoiding primary yellows because they look kind of 'eggy' and I don't like them on my hands. But this is perfect! The application was fantastic too - this is two coats with Seche Vite topcoat. Much as I love yellow, many yello polishes can be a real pain to apply.<br />

So I wore it on its own for a couple of days then I added black and white glitter. I love black and white glitter, and I have quite a collection of them now - hexagonal ones, mixed shapes, tiny glitters, some with bar glitter, dots, squares, some with highlights of other colours, or background shimmer, or bits of holo - you name it, there's a variant of black and white glitter out there somewhere and chances are I own it, lol! But this is the one that started them all - Lynnderella Connect The Dots. I was amazed when I first saw pictures of this - I'd never seen anything like it before. This was back in the day when Lynnderella sold direct from her blog and people got together for group orders... lot of water under the bridge since then. But this was my first black and white glitter, and my first indie polish in fact! There are other black and white glitters I probably like more now, but this is the original, and I still have a soft spot for it.<br />

I love this, and holo is probably one of my least favourite finishes. Application was easy - this is two coats with Seche Vite. There was no pulling or dragging and the topcoat didn't spoil the holo, like it does with some of the fussy holo classics. I'd definitely recommend this polish to all holo fans!<br />
<br />
I purchased True from Dark Metal Lacquer<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/189087046/true-blue-holographic-indie-nail-polish?ref=shop_home_active_22" target="_blank"> Etsy shop</a> (using a blogger discount) - I also got a purple holo shade, Havens, which look super-pretty in the bottle - but I'm saving that one for a special occasion. Since I got these some very pretty pastel holo shades appeared in the shop too - I might be tempted by a couple of those in the future!UKNailRunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16563187425673058690noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735494914628750290.post-89271940313481096532014-07-06T10:05:00.000-07:002014-07-07T06:50:18.393-07:00Dark Metal Lacquers Heurt<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

This is the first polish I tried from the relatively new UK Indie Brand Dark Metal Lacquer. Heurt is a vampy jelly with tiny copper holo glitter. I just happened to be wearing Butter London La Moss (a dark burgundy shade) when this arrived in the mail, so I made good use of the undies I was already wearing! This mani is two thin coats of Heurt over the vampy base with Seche Vite topcoat.<br />

I'd describe the formula as crelly; a bit denser than a true jelly but not a cream. As a high-end polish, I had high expectations for the formula and it did not disappoint. The brush is quite wide, flat and with a nicely rounded end that makes painting a neat cuticle line very easy indeed.<br />

This is two coats with Seche Vite quick drying top coat.<br />

Then I decided to add a sprinkle of blue glitter - this is Quirk Peace is Free.<br />

I purchased Lancome Nuit D'Azur from John Lewis and Quirk Peace is Free from the <a href="http://www.quirk-polish.co.uk/" target="_blank">Quirk online shop</a>. Sadly Quirk isn't making polish just now, but I'm hoping Kerrie will resume production sometime in the future.UKNailRunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16563187425673058690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735494914628750290.post-31707378010317198432014-06-20T05:02:00.000-07:002014-06-20T05:02:14.313-07:00R&R Lacquers Assemble II Collection <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have two fabulous shades from R&R Lacquers new collection to show you! These are shimmery neutrals; much as I love my creamy pastels and brights I appreciate a change sometimes!<br />
<br />
First, let's check out Odinson, which is fine charcoal glitter in a clear base with some larger silver and red glitters... this one is named for the gorgeous god of Thunder - Rachel and Rebecca's tribute to Thor.<br />

Cazzy swatched this over a grey base, and it looks super (<a href="http://specialgirlnails.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/uk-indies-r-lacquers-assemble-swatches.html" target="_blank">check out her post here</a>) so I thought I'd try something different, and just use it on its own without undies. This is three coats, with two coats of topcoat (Seche Vite) to smooth it out. Formula on this is great - no fishing for the bigger glitters and the microglitter base spreads smoothly over the nail without any clumping. In real life, this was pretty much full coverage and I love how the bigger glitters peep out through the microglitter!<br />

At some angles, this has an almost duochrome touch, with a hit of soft slately blue grey around the edges. Not so visible in this front-on view, but it's still a lovely colour, very delicate and quite work appropriate.<br />

The formula on this one was a little trickier than some polishes, it is quite thick, but so long as you get a good brushful it flows easily over the nail. I used three cots here - I could probably have got away with two though but three coats is a sort of habit! Big Phil dries without shine - not a problem for me since I always use Seche Vite topcoat.<br />

Here's a bright summery mani I did the other day. The base is John Lewis British Summertime, a lovely pale lavendery grey with just a hint of a shimmer. I think the John Lewis range was released earlier this year; I came across them a few weeks ago and bought this one and <a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/seventeen-in-surf.html" target="_blank">Brick</a>. The formula on this was great, especially for such a pale shade. This is two coats with Seche Vite quick dry topcoat. I love pale shades like this!<br />

I wore British Summertime alone for a couple of days then I added the big crazy pink dots. This is Leighton Denny Plush Pink, one of the free shades with this month's Harpers Bazaar. Super hot pink shade!<br />

I've a couple of lovely polishes from R&R Laquers I've been wearing this week - I saw a notification that Rachel and Rebecca are about to release an Assemble part II collection, and I realised I've not worn all the first Assemble collection. Oops. And I feel especially bad about this because when I bought <a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/r-lacquers-smash.html" target="_blank">Smash </a>(which is one of my favourite polishes this year - a fabulous green with flakies and magenta glitter) the girls sent me samples of the other polishes in the collection. I wore one of the glitters, <a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/hipster-mani-with-moyou-new-hipster.html" target="_blank">Steve</a>, as part of the nail art design in <a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/hipster-mani-with-moyou-new-hipster.html" target="_blank">this post</a>.<br />
<br />
This one is Romanov - a gorgeous black jelly with small holographic copper glitter. China Glaze Fortune Teller has always been a favourite of mine, but I'm afraid Romanov completely blows it out of the water! This is two coats of Romanov with a coat of black (American Apparel Hassid) as a base and Seche Vite to smooth the whole lot out. I've included some fuzzy shots so you can see the colours reflecting in the glitter...<br />

The last polish in this collection is called MkII. It's a combination of red and yellow-gold dots and hexes in a clear base; some of the red dots are holographic.<br />

I layered MkII over Rescue Beauty Lounge Footpath, which is a fab mustard shade, worth a swatch on its own. This is just one coat, no topcoat. ONE coat. For a yellow - that's awesome. And I love the colour. I know these sorts of colours aren't to everyone's taste, but I love them.<br />

And a few more with MkII over the top... so you can see the colour shifts in the holo glitters. This is one coat of R&R Lacquers MkII, a coat of Sinful Over The Top to smooth the glitter out and Seche Vite to give a shine and dry it quickly... because a) I love the high shine finish of SV b) I'm impatient and want my nails dry NOW and c) I'm a creature of habit and I always finish every mani with Seche Vite!<br />

Here's a simple tasty mani I put together with a couple of polishes from the high street. The base is Lola Camel Brown; this is a new range at M&S - here's their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LOLAbyPerse" target="_blank">facebook page</a>. This shade caught my eye; it's darker than a nude and warmer than most of the taupes I have so I <i>think </i>it might be unique in my collection!<br />

Application of this is good - I used two coats here with Seche Vite. The bottle and brush are good to handle, it has one of those pop-off square caps like Chanel, BL, Illamasqua etc and the actual handle inside is a nice shape to hold. I wore Lola Camel Brown plain just like this for a day when I needed sober nails (for a meeting that didn't end up happening, lol). The colour reminds me of chocolate ice-cream :)<br />

Then I added a layer of L'Oreal Peach Splash, a pretty glitter comprising lemon and peach coloured matte hexagonal glitters in a clear base. Much as I love our UK indies, it is nice just to be able to buy a glitter topper in Boots on impulse sometimes without having to wait for it to arrive (not to mention postage costs). This is one coat of L'Oreal Peach Splash - the glitters are quite generous - topped with more Seche Vite.<br />

I got the amazing <a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/happy-new-year-notd-lacquistry.html" target="_blank">Lacquistry Amazeballz</a> polish just in time for New Year 2014, and now there's Amazeballz Extra Fine... the same metallic particles, but much finer... so the effect is much denser and blingier. This stuff is seriously stunning!<br />
<br />
The rest of this post is just pictures - this polish leaves me pretty much speechless! My nails look like they are made from metal wearing this. Two thin coats plus Seche Vite because I didn't want to smudge it; the application and clean up was very easy.<br />

Pansy is a fantastic lemon yellow crelly with various sizes of navy glitter, red glitter and a little sprinkle of white square glitter. It was one of the R&R Laquers 'Primavera' collection, and although I snapped it up right away when it was released a couple of months ago, I've only just got round to trying it out on my nails!<br />

I love the combination of colours; I'm wearing it here over a base of L'Oreal Color Riche Lemon Meringue, which is a very pale lemon polish which seems to make the base colour of Pansy really pop! This is two coats of Pansy - no need for any fishing for glitter, lots come out of the bottle with every brushfull and application is very smooth. Because there is a lot of glitter in the mani, I used a coat of Sinful Colors Over The Top topcoat, which is quite thick, under my Seche Vite to make sure this was absolutely smooth.<br />

A gorgeous summer bright crelly from Nicola! This is Flash Nails Candy Floss - it's a mix of hot pink, purple, grey, black and white glitters in a blue toned crelly base:<br />

<br />
I two coats of Candy Floss over one coat of M&S Autograph Quick Dry Nail Colour in Mallow, a blue-toned pink creme very similar to the base of Candy Floss. The glitters in Candy Floss lie smooth and flat and I just used a single coat of Seche Vite to finish this off - no need for any thick glitter taming topcoats.<br />

I've got some nail art staples to share today - black polishes and a nail art tool kit including brushes, striping tape and dotting tools! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's start at the beginning with the polishes. This is a polish duo from Laqa&Co - 'Tuxedo' is a glossy and matte pair. They come in the double ended bottle like the <a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/laqa-co-lacey-swatch-and-review.html" target="_blank">Laqa&Co Gold Fleck Manicure </a>range - I have to say I'm not keen on the bottle format, it makes the brush harder to control because of the weight of the bottle in your hand and it leaves the tiny bottle you are painting from rather unstable. The polishes inside the bottles are great though!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are the black polishes on their own to start with - this is one coat of each , no topcoat. I'm impressed with both of them; the matte is a bit streaky but I think that is more down to me not being able to hold the brush steady because the 'handle' is a bottle of polish and is too long and heavy!</div>

My first trial was to use the black polishes over my existing mani (<a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/laqa-co-bobby-dazzler.html" target="_blank">Laqa&Co Bobby Dazzler</a>) to create some nail art skittles using the <a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/accessories/nail-art-tool-kit.html" target="_blank">Models Own Nail Art Tool Kit</a>. The kit includes a flat wide brush (which I've been using as a clean-up brush for the edges of my nails; this is a perfect brush for this), a fine brush for detailing, a striping brush, a fan brush, two double-ended dotting tools (small and large) and a roll of striping tape. Just about everything you need to get started! I used the small dotting tool and the fine brush for my index finger, the striping brush for my middle finger and the fan brush for my ring finger; for all these fingers I used the glossy black from the Tuxedo duo. For my little finger I created a 'ladybird' nail - first I used the striping tape to make a neat edge for the french tip, then applied the matte black. Then I added the matte black dots with the biggest dotting tool.</div>

My next test was a Tuxedo mani - but I liked the ladybird nail too much to remove it so it stays as my accent nail! I used the striping tape again to create the neat edges on the black nails.<br />

I wanted to wear this for a few days to see how long the matte stayed matte, so when I got bored with the ladybird nail I changed the accent for this green holo (Enchanted March 2014).<br />

I'm pleased to report that the matte stayed matte until I removed the mani after three days. Sometimes matte polishes start out looking fabulous but go shiny almost overnight - this one did stand the test of time. And finally, here is a rare shot of my right hand - I reversed the pattern so I get more of that green holo goodness here. You can see the matte black is streaky here... definitely harder to apply and get a good finish with my left hand using that bottle!<br />

My verdict on the Laqa&Co Tuxedo duo is that the polishes themselves are great, but I'm not keen on the packaging. I'd be all over these if they were sold in separate, full size bottles though. The Models Own Nail Art Toolkit is great, it contains a good range of brushes and dotting tools to cover most needs, the brushes are good quality and easy to handle. They seem to withstand cleaning in acetone pretty well. The striping tape is good and sticky (some versions are not) and a good addition to the kit - I like to use it for making neat edges as well as the more obvious 'stripey' manis!<br />
<br />
Laqa&Co Tuxedo and the Models Own Nail Art Tool Kit were sent for review. Laqa&Co Tuxedo is available from <a href="http://www.myretailbeauty.com/Laqa-Co-s/1824.htm" target="_blank">Retail Beauty</a> in the UK. The duo is £14.95, which I think is quite pricey for such small bottles. The Models Own Nail Art Tool Kit is available from <a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/accessories/nail-art-tool-kit.html" target="_blank">Models Own</a> for a very reasonable £8. I purchased Enchanted March 2014 from a friend (the Enchanted monthly polishes are an unseen pre-order - my friend doesn't like green!).UKNailRunnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16563187425673058690noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735494914628750290.post-67351785488773792902014-05-30T09:35:00.004-07:002014-05-30T09:35:57.387-07:00Nails Inc Perfect Nudes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I happened upon these quite by chance in Boots last week - I'd no idea that they'd been released and I hadn't seen anybody else's swatches. But I love neutral shades and I was very intrigued by the packaging (lame I know) - they look like little bottles of foundation or maybe concealer.<br />
<br />
There are four shades in the collection, but Nails Inc is pretty high end, and I have lots of neutral shades, so I was selective and chose just two. Had it been a cheaper brand I would have bought the full collection. I chose the darkest one (Draycott Avenue) and the warmer, less pinky shade of the paler ones (Eaton Terrace).<br />
<br />
Here's Draycott Terrace - it's a fab colour and reminds me of chocolate milk, chocolate ice-cream and Ambrosia chocolate custard. Ambrosia chocolate custard is one of my ultra-running superfoods, easy to eat and very tasty... and after 40 miles or so when I really, really fancy something chocolately it's just perfect. So I'm looking at my nails now and wanting to eat them, lol!<br />

I wasn't as impressed with the application of this as I'd expected - it was a bit thick and at two coats, even with topcoat, it looked a bit rough and streaky. I added a third coat and then another coat of Seche Vite and <i>finally </i>the finish was good!<br />

This is my second pick - Eaton Terrace. Three coats and Seche Vite; formula on this was much more workable and fluid but I wouldn't expect a colour this light to be opaque at two coats, so I went straight onto the third. </div>

I think these are good, classic shades, very wearable and totally work appropriate. Of course, I couldn't resist putting them together somehow..... so first of all a sponge gradient. The pigments are fine and the formula seems just about perfect for gradients - this gradient was very easy to produce.<br />

I loved the gradient, and I wore it like this for a couple of days. Then I felt the need to fiddle, and started adding dots. I should have left it just with dots of the darker shade near my nail tips, but I kept on, and I think I spoilt it with too much fussing. But all good fun!<br />

I'm wearing another beautiful summer crelly from Flash Nails today! This is called Strawberry Fields Forever; it's medium sized bright pink (strawberry pink of course), larger white and tiny purple glitters (all matte) in a pale, cool toned pink crelly base:<br />

I layered this over Barry M Rose Hip, which is just about a perfect match for the base of Strawberry Fields Forever. Application was perfect, the formula is wonderfully smooth and fluid, and you always get just the right amount of glitter on the brush! This is two coats of Strawberry Fields Forever over two coats of Barry M Rose Hip, and just one coat of Seche Vite to finish with.<br />
<br />
These first pictures were taken in full sun late this afternoon, and have a lovely warm pink glow to them:<br />

As with all the Flash Nails polishes I've tried so far, I love this. The formula is impeccable and the colour combination is delicious!<br />

Here is the next of my Laqa&Co reviews... this polish is called Bobby Dazzler and that's a perfect description; it really is a dazzling bright neon. Which makes it the devil to photograph, of course, lol! My camera wants to make it orange, and when I correct the colour of the polish, my skin is weirdly pink. So try to ignore the 'alien skin' in these pictures.<br />
<br />
Laqa&Co is a super-bright coral neon - I'd call it an '<b>Electric Salmon</b>' sort of colour! It is a true neon, and there's something about neon pigments that makes them sort of transparent-ish and dry to a rubbery-matte kind of finish. To make the colours really pop, neons work best over a white (or near white) base. I applied this over <a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/nail-of-day-barry-m-gelly-coconut.html" target="_blank">Barry M Coconut</a>.<br />
<br />
These pictures are two coats of Laqa&Co without topcoat; you can see the rubbery finish. The application was really smooth and easy - a great formula for a neon.<br />

One other thing I need to mention is the bottle, as I found the bottle a bit tricky on the last Laqa & Co polish I reviewed (<a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/laqa-co-lacey-swatch-and-review.html" target="_blank">Lacey</a>). The bottle on Laqa & Co's single, regular polishes is slim and elegant, but not in the least bit difficult to manage.<br />
<br />
Here is the polish with topcoat (Seche Vite). I love this - what a fantastic bright shade!<br />

I did have a little experiment with this polish before I did the full review - I did this cling film mani over my existing mani (<a href="http://uknailrunner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/pretty-quirky-summer-collection-village.html" target="_blank">Pretty Quirky Village Idiot)</a> a couple of weeks ago when my package from Laqa & Co arrived. I applied a thick coat of Laqa&Co Bobby Dazzler, then immediately dabbed it off with a rolled up ball of cling film. Do this just one nail at a time, then apply topcoat. This is a very easy way to create a fab marbly effect! </div>

This was intended just as a base for something else - but I love it so much it became my NOTD and I think it's worth sharing in its own right. Every now and then there's a must-have polish released that should be in any collection, and I think this is one of them! I've no vested interest in saying this - Barry M don't send me their products to review, I bought this myself.<br />
<br />
Although I love pastel shades, I don't actually like <i>WHITE </i>polish (other than for nail art of course) - I find it too stark. But I'm always fascinated by the near-white shades.... OPI My Vampire Is Buff, Zoya Jacqueline and American Aparrel Cotton are all firm favourites of mine and I'm adding this to the list! Barry M Coconut is a slightly warm (but not yellowish) just off white shade. This is two coats with Seche Vite quick dry topcoat. Application was fantastic for such a pale shade.<br />
