pink - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies,

this polish is so gorgeous that I've made many, many pictures! Click on the Read more button to see one of the most beautiful holographic polishes out there!

When Color Club released promo pics of the Halo Hues collection I was excited a bit. Then I saw real life blogger pics and I was very excited! Then I went to a beauty exhibition in London, saw them in person and fell in love with them! I picked up 6 Halo Hues polishes and this one is the first of them I'll show you...

Miss Bliss - light pink holographic polish. I kept looking at my fingers, that's how beautiful this polish is! It has good formula as well. I'm wearing two coats which provided enough coverage. Application is always tricky with holos. It dried very fast so I had to work fast and apply thicker coats. Despite the fast drying, I didn't experience any patching (which I did with the China Glaze Hologlam polishes). I really like the result so prepare for pictures spam!

This is the Miss Bliss under artificial light (daylight bulb). The holographic effect is not very strong under this light but in my experience some other bulbs do simulate sunshine quite well.

Hello lovelies,

I'd like to show you another new to me British brand called Nailgirls. They offer a wide range of shades, mostly gorgeous creme shades. I will show you elegant muted pink.

About Nailgirls: "Nailgirls London was created by two sisters, Jo and Lynda-Louise Burrell, as a reaction to the nasty, toxic, nail wrecking polishes and spas currently saturating the beauty market."

Pink #16 - muted medium pink creme. The polish has absolutely excellent formula! It is almost one-coater but as per usual I have applied two coats. It applied very easily and almost flawlessly. The drying time is average to fast, kind of in between :) Oh and it smells quite funky. I can't really put my finger on it but it smells unusual. No topcoat in the pictures.

The brush is thin and long; I found it easy to work with but I needed more strokes than with thicker brushes. The cap is silver and looks like metal finish. The bottle is like the American Apparel bottles. I like that they are easy to store and don't take much space but on the other hand the bottle is easy to tip over. Each bottle holds 15ml, retails for £10.50 and is free from all the 'nasties'.

Judging from this one nail polish I can only recommend this brand. The quality of the polish is excellent and I truly hope that the rest of the range has the same great formula. You can buy them at the Nailgirls website.
