KBShimmer 'Myth You Lots'

KBShimmer is a brand I'd never really been that interested in until recently. I'd seen their polishes around many times but none of them really called my name; and I had no idea where I could buy them from anyway.

Recently I started seeing their newest collection popping up everywhere. And I was suddenly like 'ok, I gotta get me some of these'. I saw their Winter collections swatched by Marta @ ChitChat Nails and immediately had to buy a couple. KBShimmer doesn't ship internationally so I grabbed them from Harlow & Co, polish distributor based in Canada that ships internationally. A lot of the polishes from the Multi-chrome and Multi-chrome Holo collections were sold out but I was able to grab two that caught my eye. These collections are ultra shifty multichrome / holographic amazingness. I bought one from either collection. I'll be showing you the Holo one today. :)

These are also the first nail photos I've taken on my new camera! They're not the best, so bear with me while I get used to my camera. :)

Myth You Lots is a multichrome holo that shifts from a purple-y blue to a burnt orange/gold, with perhaps a smidge of gold in there, with a linear holo sparkle.

I never used to be into duo/multichromes. About a year ago I probably would not have even looked twice at this polish but it's weird how your tastes change. I really like multichromes now, if they're a nice colour combination! I couldn't stop staring at my nails when wearing this colour! It looked like a totally different polish under every different lighting situation I was in! Sooooo cool.

I wore this polish for 48 hours. :o That rarely happens! It started to chip about halfway throughout the second day, though. So please excuse any chips you see in the photos!

Thanks for visiting. :)

ANMonday - Metallic {Indie Month}

Hi friends! Happy Monday. Hope your weekend was awesome. :)

To finish up ANMonday's Indie Month, the theme is Gold / Silver / Black / White or another metallic colour. I only have one or two silver indie polishes and not many black / white ones, so I went with gold! :)

I went with a combo that I have worn before {and posted on Lissa's Polish Addiction} but loved it. The base colour I used is OPI Just Spotted the Lizard, which is my fiance's favourite polish of mine! I topped that with one coat of Eventide by Femme Fatale Cosmetics.

Eventide is a clear base with looooads of gold glitters in different sizes and shapes. There's also some pink glitters in there.

I absolutely love this combination. It's so blingy and perfect. :D

Pretty Serious Naughty Night Shift Nurse

Hi guys! I have a polish to show you that is quite sought after. When it was gifted to Kristy, many people went crazy and asked Kaz & Ben of Pretty Serious if they would please make more of this polish for the public. A month or so back, Pretty Serious announced that they would have a limited number of Naughty Night Shift Nurse {NSNN} available to everyone. I was one who wanted it soo badly. The lovely Bec grabbed me a bottle when she bought hers. :) Thanks so much Bec!

There was a fair bit of drama that followed the launch of NNSN and I won't be talking about that here. If you'd like to know more, you can read the Pretty Serious posts here, here, here, and here. Pretty Serious are actually running a competition to win NNSN and 2 other limited edition polishes! If you'd like to enter you can check that out here.

Anyway, let's get into the polish, shall we?

By the way, I actually swatched this a few weeks ago so you may have already seen me post it on Instagram.

NNSN is hard to describe but I will do my best... It's a purple/blue {blurple?} to red duochrome base with orange-green flakies. You can build it up to opacity on its own with 3 coats but I layered 2 coats over OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark. It was fairly easy to apply, a little bit thick, but not bad.

Sadly, I didn't love this polish. I really wanted to. And I loved it in the bottle, but not as much on the nail. I think I may have liked it a bit more if I'd worn it on its own, rather than over a base colour. It's a little too frosty looking in the sun for my taste, and I'm not a huge fan of duochromes anyway. I do like it a bit more in the photos but in person I just didn't love it. Since it was so sought after and hard to get, I decided it would be better to pass it onto someone who will love it rather than have it sit in my Helmer collecting dust. So I have already passed this onto a more loving home. I'm sure my NNSN will feel more loved over there in her new home. :)

I know that many people will {and do} love this polish, however so trust me when I say that it's not a "bad" polish by any means. Just not really my taste is all!

Were you lucky enough to get your hands on a bottle of NNSN? What do you think of it?

Thanks for reading. ♥

My First Chanel! Peridot ♥

Hey guys!

Last week, a really sweet girl named Gemma so so kindly gifted me some of her unwanted polishes. I was so overwhelmed at how kind she was to just give away some of her polishes! Thank you so much Gemma. :)

One of the polishes she gave me was a CHANEL polish :D Can you believe it?! I was so excited to own my first Chanel! Ahh!

This is Peridot. You probably know that almost every company makes a dupe of this polish now and I do own the OPI version (Just Spotted the Lizard - if you want to see a swatch, I have a post on it on my old blog, here) but it's actually one of my favourite colours so I didn't mind owning the Chanel version too! :D It's also my boyfriend's favourite polish that I own! And I own a Chanel Peridot phone case sooo naturally I needed to have the polish too. :P

If you've never seen this polish before, which I doubt, it's a gold to green duochrome polish, that also flashes a little bit blue in the bottle but you don't see it much on the nail.
I'm so happy the sun made a brief appearance on the day I wore this so I could take a photo in the sun. It's really lovely and shimmery in the sun.

^ I blurred out the cap because it had fingerprint smudges all over lol! :/

Sorry if you see any air bubbles in my photos.. That was my top coat, Seche Vite. For some reason it was all bubbly. o.O I hadn't shaken it up or anything.

Thank you so so sooo much again, Gemma for your generosity and kindess. :)

Lilypad Lacquer Karmeleon

Today I have a really cool polish to show you from Lilypad Lacquer! :D Lilypad Lacquer is a fairly new  Aussie indie brand (I think? Maybe just new to me) and they do mostly duochromes, neons and holographic finish polishes.

Today I have one of their duochrome glitters to show you!

Karmeleon is a clear base, with small glitters that shift from blue/purple/green. You see mostly purple/teal on the nail though. In the bottle you also see a bit of a gold which is soo pretty, I wish it showed up on the nail.

I layered 3 coats of Karmeleon over black and topped it with Seche Vite top coat.

I'm not a big duochrome girl. I hate frosty looking duochromes especially but I really enjoy this one because it's glitter! :D

This really is a cool polish! I couldn't stop staring at my nails when I had it on!

Here's a little video so you can see the colour shift! :)

If you're in Aus I definitely recommend you check out Lilypad Lacquer's store! They have sooo many polishes, you're sure to find something you like. :)
