Scofflaw Prototypes

I had an incredible stroke of luck a few weeks ago and I WON a draw for three prototype polishes from the wonderful Finch, creator of Scofflaw!

I believe these are early versions of three of Finch's latest collection. Each one is amazing, they don't have names, so I'll just call them blue, grey and pink!

*Blue* is a sheer blue jelly with black, bright red (!!), aubergine, gunmetal and tiny neon yellow glitter. I layered two coats over Bourjois 1 Seconde polish in Bleu Water, which is almost exactly the same shade as the base. 

This looks like what eventually became Paranoid Android, I believe. 

Next is *pink* - if you want to buy something similar Wyld Stallyns would be the nearest, although the glitters in my version seem a warmer set of colours than the final one. I especially love the aubergine matte glitters in this! Again the polish is quite jellyish, and I have an old Dior polish almost the exact same shade as the base, so I used that as undies for this mani:

And last but not least, *grey*. Pale grey with matt neon blue and all sorts of mossy green glitter. This is stunning! I wore it for days, I liked it so much. I used a base of OPI Skull and Glossbones for this mani. 

And I'd guess this one became Electric Salamander in it's final version.

I love these, I think these rank amongst the treasures in my indie collection; Finch makes fabulous polishes and sells them on her Etsy Store. You can also buy Scofflaw polishes at Llarowe.

This lovely polish isn't one you can buy (at least not right now), but I do want to share it! It's a prototype of a custom polish Lulu (Elevation Polish) was working on when I got into an online chat with her, and she very kindly sent me a bottle to try out! The polish is a mixture of grey, gunmetal and iridescent glitters in a white jelly base. There's quite a lot of glitter in the polish, so I used one coat of plain white as a base so I could avoid VNL without building up too much glitter on my nails. I absolutely love the effect - I hope Lulu brings this into production one day!

You can buy Lulu's polishes from her website Elevation Polish and keep up to date with new releases and other news on her BLOG too.

And finally, just for fun, after I'd worn this mani for several days, I added a coat of Butter London Disco Biscuit! Disco Biscuit is very sheer, and lends itself perfectly to jelly sandwiches so I thought it might work well as a colour glaze too. I love the result!

Elevation Polish Opal with Butter London Disco Biscuit

Elevation Polish Opal was a gift from the maker;  Butter London Disco Biscuit is a core BL colour and is readily available - I purchased my bottle from my local Boots.

'Purple Sky' - a franken gift !!

This isn't a polish you can buy, but I just wanted to share it, because it's so pretty! It was made for me by a lovely friend, Ida, who has a super blog, Ida Nails It. If you don't already, you should check out her super nails and pictures :D

The polish is called 'Alison's Purple Sky' and it's a stunning purple with small magenta glitter. I'll just let the pictures do the talking!
