Andrea Fulerton - Beatrice

Good evening dear readers

Firstly a reminder about my giveaway which due to close in 3 days. It's still not too late to enter though! you can by clicking (here) or on the image in my sidebar.

Now on to some polish business :-) Hope your week is going well. If not then here is some polish eye candy. Meet Beatrice, a delicious purple number from Andrea Fulerton's nail colour collection.


Sunlight




Shade




Beatrice, such a quintessentially British name, doesn't conjure up the most sexiest images (Sorry if any Beatrice's are reading this) but boy this sure is a sexy polish. This is 2 coats of Beatrice. Drying time longggggg, but a coat of Nubar Diamont Topcoat sorted out that problem.




Has a duochrome effect in the bottle which did not translate onto the nail much, although I think I finally captured it after hundreds of pics (oooh you little tease!) but still a stunning purple shade.

Available at Superdrugs for £4.99. Superdrugs are currently running a 3 for 2 offer on all cosmetics!

What do you think hit or miss?

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!
