Hello lovelies,

I've left the best for last, let me show you absolutely stunning A England Rose Bower! If I would have to choose one colour to wear for the rest of my life, this is IT! That's pretty much the biggest compliment I can give, that's how much I love this colour.

If you've missed previous ones, no worries, here are the links:

Lucy's Stash - A England Rose Bower

Rose Bower - raspberry red base with scattered holographic particles. Yes, it's official, I absolutely love this shade! Adina is magician, she always creates stunning colours but this one is an overall winner for me...and there's me thinking I've seen them all...

The formula was excellent, almost one coater but in the end I needed two coats. It applied very easily without streaks or patches. The drying time was good but I did end up applying Barielle Ultra Speed Dry Manicure Extender topcoat.

Hello lovelies,

I've got here more of the gorgeous Shimmer polishes! I've you've missed previous reviews, check them out here.

Alessandra - red, orange, green, turquoise and silver glitter in a lightly tinted red jelly. This one is truly great for layering but could be worn alone but you would probably need three coats. I've applied Alessandra over white and as you can see, the tinted base changed the colour to light pink. it applied very easily and there's plenty of glitter in the bottle. One coat provided very good amount of glitter. It dried fast and slightly gritty.

Carol - blue, copper, gold, silver holo and black in clear base. I have applied one coat of Carol over OPI Hands Off My Kielbasa!. The glitter pay-off is again very good and I didn't have to position the bigger glitters. It applied well and dried fast, it has good formula.

Melissa - gold, blue, red glitter in a clear base. Here I have applied one coat of Melissa over Clinique Grape Ice and A England Camelot. The change of the base colour nicely shows off the different glitter colours. The formula is the same as the other shades - easy to apply, fast drying and with plenty of glitter. Melissa would be easy to wear alone as well as the glitter is dense.

Rochelle - red, gold and holo glitter in a clear base. This polish reminds me tanned skin and holiday :) I've applied one coat over OPI My Paprika Is Hotter Than Yours! The glitter is dense and applies well. iit dries quite smooth but I always use topcoat.

Jasmine - turquoise, blue and gold glitter in a clear base. Gorgeous mixture of colours, it looks great layered over so many colours! Here I've layered it over a white nail polish (OPI Alpine Snow). It applied very easily and dried fast.
