ETUDE HOUSE Petit Darling Nails - Ocean BL505

Evening Everyone

Brrrr bit chilly tonight. Today I have Etude House - Ocean BL505. A rich royal blue glassed flecked polish. I couldn't capture how blue this polish is but it more electric in reality.

The last picture is the most colour accurate. Duochrome in the bottle, but doesn't translate on the nail. Completely different in appearance to how it looks when applied. Formula slightly thin, I got it everywhere as evidenced by my pinky finger. This is 3 coats.

Love the colour of this one though. Reminds me of Accessorize Electric Blue although this looks like it has more 'pop' to it. Another comparison that should happen but probably won't :-) Got this off Ebay for £3.77 including delivery.

Enjoy your Wednesday night

W7 - Metallic Venus

Hello Everyone

Final polish today from the W7 Metallic Collection! Metallic Venus, a Pink/Purple/Gold duochrome shimmer. Sorry I took soooo many photos of this one :-)

Sunlight

Yummy Yummy Metallic Venus, such a beautiful polish. This is 3 coats, less sheer than Mars and applied evenly. Very strong duochrome effect in this one. Simply glowing goodness on the nail.

SO, final thoughts on W7s Metallic collection? Love it!!!!!!!! Even if it is smelly and full of chemicals. Also economically good value, they are cheap as chips at £1.99 each. Winners all round in my book! My only question, where is Earth, Uranus (don't giggle) and Pluto...erm is Pluto still classed as a planet? And wasn't there a new planet discovered?...Where's Patrick Moore when you need him!?

By chance if you are interested in knowing the answers, no need to tweet Stephen Hawking click (here) I had to look it up when writing this out of curiosity.

What are your thoughts? Any favourites?

W7 - Metallic Jupiter

Well hello there!

It's suddenly winter here in London. It has that damp, smoggy atmosphere which I'm going to admit, I quite like. I dug my winter coat out this morning for the first time.

Today I have the 5th W7 Metallic - Metallic Jupiter. A dark blackened glass flecked purple/blue duochrome, similar to Mercury but darker. Has some gold in the bottle, but couldn't capture on the nail.

Sunlight

This is 3 coats of Metallic Jupiter, application wasn't too bad. Built up well. I have to say this is probably one of my favourites of the collection. The duochrome is subtle, but looks really complex and stunning on the nail. I couldn't capture how deep and rich this was in reality. I'm a sucker for dark shades though. Has similar properties to Orly - Galaxy Girl, although Metallic Jupiter appears darker. Would be interesting to see how this compares.

Anyone else in winter gear yet? I need a new wardrobe, my jumpers are a little tight...no doubt they will get tighter over Christmas. I'm a greedy guts over the holidays.

Enjoy

W7 - Metallic Saturn

Evening

How was your weekend? Mine has flown by, Monday again tomorrow :-( Booo!

Another W7 Metallic today, this time Metallic Saturn. This was the shade which I had to order online. Metallic Saturn is a Green/Gold metallic shimmer.

Sunlight

This is 3 coats of Metallic Saturn. Formula slightly thick and application showed some brush strokes. Quite a nice shade, has that brassy/gold burnished metallic look to it (similar to OPI - At Your Quebec and Call, China Glaze - Peace on Earth, Misa - Pepper etc...)

Doesn't look as 'duochromey' (yup a made up word) then Beetlejuice - Gold Green, but I haven't got that to compare.

Got this from a website called WWW.Crazy-Colour.Co.UK, who also stock Barry M and La Femme polishes. Came pretty quick and delivery was free. Price £1.99.

Two more to go!

W7 - Metallic Neptune

Evening All

Another W7 Metallic today, this time Metallic Neptune. A Green/Blue/Purple shimmer duochrome. Soon as I saw this one I thought Leighton Denny - Your Planet or Mine! Need to check a comparison of the two.

I like Metallic Neptune, slightly better coverage and more opaque than Mars. This is 3 coats. Looked really nice on the nail. More of a subtle duochrome in comparison to the first two from the collection, but still lovely.

For those who didn't see on twitter, I missed out on the Models Own Beetlejuice Collection. I was totally devastated and threw a right tantrum lol. Emailed Models Own and the box sets won't be back in stock til the end of November (that's if I don't miss them again!). So these W7's are a nice little distraction.

Enjoy. More swatches to follow.

W7 - Metallic Mercury

Howdy

Happy Friday everyone. Today I have for you the second polish out of the W7 Metallic collection - Metallic Mercury. A plum/brown/gold glass flecked duochrome.

Indoors

This is gorgeous! Only 2 coats needed. Good coverage and much better formula than Metallic Mars. This is everything I hoped Zoya - Valerie would be, although Valerie is that deep delicious purple. Not as strong colour shift in comparison to Mars, but a good effect all the same.

Love the fact that this collections contains not just multichrome/duochrome shimmers, but also glass flecked shades.

Bootiful :-)

Enjoy Folks.
