Nails Inc Holland Park

Hey Guys

As you may have realised from my posts I love my purple polishes! I'm definitely a purple people eater ;)

I was so excited when I heard that Nails Inc were bringing out a neon purple and ordered Holland Park as soon as I could afford to treat myself to it!

Unfortunately the original polish I got was one of the ones from the faulty batch and even after 7, yes 7 coats it was still streaky and not at all opaque. I was a very disappointed bunny! :(

Fortunately when I decided to give this polish a second chance and bought another bottle using a Debenhams gift card I'd received for my birthday, I got a much better polish - Yay!

Here are some pictures of this beauty which were taken after 2 days wear!

I removed this polish tonight and reapplied it from scratch and am even happier with the look of it second time round :D (I'll try to remember to take some pics before it gets dark tomorrow!)

What do you guys think of this beauty? Do you agree that it was worth the second chance?

China Glaze Purple Panic

As you might know I'm on a mission to find the perfect neon purple (in my opinion)

I thought this one might have been a contender but despite the name it's definitely more pink than purple and wasn't really what I was looking for!

Layla Cloudy Violet Hologram Polish

Hey Guys

This is a gorgeous purple holographic which my boyfriend described as looking like I had "dipped my fingers in a rainbow" which goes some way to describe how colourful this beauty is!  Unfortunately it's a pain in the posterior to capture that effect on camera, at least for me! 

If you fancy treating yourself to this little beauty or any of her pretty sisters then head on over to Simply Occasions where the lovely Bryony will be happy to assist you I'm sure :D

p.s. Any tips on how to catch this effect would be gratefully received as would any other hints and tips you guys may have on how I can improve my blog/picture taking techniques! x
