Hello lovelies,

Today I have six Glam polish shades that are part of the new Cast a Spell Part II: The Magic is Back! collection. As you probably know, Glam Polish is an Australian indie brand. This new collection consists of 'Nine new magical glitter/holo shades, the collection includes two special shades perfect for Halloween, Elixir and Warlock. (All shades dry slightly textured and require top coat for a glossy finish).'

They are all dark Autumn/Winter shades and all have holographic glitter and particles in them:

Warlock - rusty orange brown base packed with holo dust and copper holo glitter. Warlock is the colour of Autumn leaves :) With the amount of glitter and other particles I expected thick and gloopy formula but luckily that wasn't a case. Warlock applied easily and two thicker coats were fully opaque. It dried fast but a bit textured so I'm wearing a coat of Seche Vite topcoat over it. Also previously featured here.

Banished - deep red-based purple base full of holo dust and dark red holo glitter. WOW! This is my absolute favourite Banished is absolutely stunning! Its rich colour is chic and will be great for whole A/W season. I'm wearing two coats and topcoat and it applied without any troubles. Can't recommend enough!

Wicca - dark grape purple base full of holo dust and purple holo glitter. Wicca is blue-toned cousin of Banished. It also has good to apply formula and is opaque in two thicker coats. I'm wearing topcoat over it.

Cauldron - deep teal blue base full of holo dust and teal holo glitter. Ok, this is another stunner! I was afraid my nails would get stained but they didn't - major plus! I've applied two thicker coats and topcoat and didn't have any troubles with the application. Cauldron also dries a bit gritty but the topcoat helped with sorting it out.

Elixir - leaf green base full of holo dust and green holo glitter. It's a pretty rich green colour that to me symbolises more the end of summer than autumn but it complements the rest of the shades nicely. All I needed were two thicker coats and topcoat. It applied well and dried fast.

Pentacle - charcoal grey with purple undertones packed with holo particles and grey holo glitter. True winter shade - it's cold, dark and sparkly! I've applied two thicker coats as with the rest of the shades and had no problems with it. I've also applied topcoat to smooth out the surface.

So just to sum up, all of these had good formula opaque in two thicker coats but they need one or two coats of topcoat for completely smooth surface. They are all super sparkly and colourful thanks to the holographic additions. My absolute favourites are Banished and Cauldron.

This Glam Polish collection is available for pre-order from September 17th from www.glampolish.com.au with shipping to Australia & USA shipping rates to USA are $7.95 for the first polish and an extra $1.00 for each addition polish.

So what do you think about Autumn colours and holo? Which one is YOUR favourite?

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

Don't you just wish the summer would last forever? Sunny days spent at the beach, warm sunsets and blooming flowers everywhere! That's just my dream and I can keep dreaming because I live in Britain after all... So at least I can create pretty flowers on my nails :)

I've decided to decorate Illamasqua Melange with vintage style roses. I have used Illamasqua Melange, OPI Red Hot Rio, OPI Alpine Snow, OPI Chic From Ears To Tail and Barry M Cardamom.

I'm also wearing a beautiful midi ring by Astrid & Miyu in the pictures. It's called Gold Crystal Floating Heart Midi Ring* and it is the perfect size to fit above my knuckles. Midi Rings are usually too big for me as I have slim fingers but this one fits nicely.

The ring is very delicate and feels like good quality product as opposed to some very cheap rings I bought before. The crystals fit perfectly, none of them are loose and this ring also comes in rose gold and silver colour.

It is made of gold plated brass and it's nickel free. If you would like to find out more and see some other Astrid & Miyu rings, visit their website.

You might have noticed that my pictures have changed a bit. Well I have a new camera which I'm currently testing so the pictures are mix from my new and old camera. I hope you like them and I hope you've enjoyed today's post.

Also, my dear friend Ruth has entered me into a birthday contest and I could win a pretty watch. The competition is on Facebook and as always with FB competitions, the most likes win. So if you would like to help me to get an awesome watch for my bday then please like comment from Ruth Knall in this picture: https://www.facebook.com/Watches2U/photos/a.234279439925292.65920.183000838386486/866629470023616/?type=1&comment_id=866639626689267&offset=0&total_comments=45  Thank you so much! xxx

Have a lovely Friday! Lucie x
