Avon Nailwear Pro Inky Blue and OPI Gold Shatter Layered Manicure

I've had these photos on my camera for ages, and feel it's high time I posted!


I really love this polish. In indirect light it looks almost black, yet when the light catches it, you get a flash of electric blue.


Once more, Avon have come up with the goods and produced an excellent polish, with great coverage and durability. The problems arose when I tried OPI Gold Shatter. It didn't shatter! Whether I applied it too thinly or thickly, I don't know. I still got a pleasant enough looking manicure, but I wanted shatter!


As you can see, the gold was lovely and sparkly, but there was no shatter. The picture below shows a little bit of shattering on my little finger.

Nail Inc Belgrave Place

Okay, so I have reviewed this polish before. The thing is, in the last review I did a layered manicure and used a Nfu Oh flakie over the top of the Belgrave Place. I didn't post any pictures of Belgrave Place by itself.


So, here it is. I think it is a classic. It is the perfect blurple. I also love the fact that you could get away with one coat of this polish- the coverage is amazing. The photo makes it look a little too navy; it really is more purple than it appears.

Nails Inc Haymarket

Long time, no see! I've been busy!



Anyway, just a quick post with Nails Inc's Haymarket. I apologise for the rubbish picture; it was taken on my mobile. I didn't have my proper camera, but I love this colour so much. It is a perfect sunny shade- a bright aqua blue. It looks more vibrant on the nail than in the bottle. It is a fabulous polish too, applying evenly, with full colour after 1 coat (although I used 2). It lasts ages too!

OPI Sugarplum Yum

I've been revisiting a few old favourites recently, particularly the duochrome polishes. I love the fact that the colour is never static, that as I move my hands my nails will flash different colours.

One such colour is OPI's Sugarplum Yum. Like all duochrome colours it is hard to describe, but here goes. It's a light blue-grey shimmer with a pink-champagne shine. I hope that's clear, but I doubt it is. Look at the pics and see for yourself:



The blue base is easy to see from an oblique angle.


Face on, the pink hue can be seen.
