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?

Andrea Fulerton Trio Nail Polish - Rainfall

Hi Everyone!

Yes, It's Friday and I have that Friday flakie feeling! Seriously how wonderful has this weather been?! I'm loving the sunshine!

I have another flakie polish for you today Andrea Fulterton's Trio - Rainfall. Now I know my last review of the trio polishes wasn't so flattering, I had some serious gloopy applications problems going on, but I thought I would give this brand another chance at redeeming itself seeing as I loved the Andrea Fulterton's Mischa so much.

This is 2 coats of the flakie polish contained in the Trio. I only used this polish as I wasn't blown away by the colour of the second polish (the metallic blue), it looks nice enough but nothing special. The 'flakie' polish in this trio is a bright blue/purple/blurple sheer base containing blue/green flakies.

I used 2 coats of the flakies on 2 coats of OPI - Yoga-ta get this blue a gorgeous navy blue polish. I love this combo so much. I couldn't stop staring at my nails, truly mesmerising. My pics don;t do this any  justice. If I was to suggest getting any of these trio polishes, I would suggest getting this one. It's my favourite so far. Using the flakie polish over an OPI polish gave me no problems at all.

I'm going to try using the flakie polish with the other Trio blue metallic polish and see what results I get. I have also included a couple of Andrea Fulterton products in the giveaway I have planned, but that's not til I reach my follower milestone :-)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique- Nail Tattoos Skull and Cross Bones

Hello All

Since my Andrea Fulerton pics have been generating a lot of interest, I thought I would show you some pics of Andrea Fulerton's Skull and Cross Bones Nail Tattoos. I used this in my mani ages ago but never got round to posting.

I used Color Club Revvvolution as a base and used one of the Nail Tattoos on my index finger. The pics of Revvvolution do not do it any justice because it was indoors, so I will probably swatch this one again for you. The nail tattoo looked great on and removed easily with polish remover.

Purchased from Superdrugs for £1.99

Enjoy

Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique Colour - Mischa

Hi Everyone!

Nearly the weekend guys! Yay. Today I have one of my recent purchases, Andrea Fulterton - Mischa. Its a grey based polished packed with gold, blue and silver glitter. Very complex and unusual colour. The gold glitter gives it a warmth even though it's quite a metallic looking polish. I'd been wanting this one for ages, but it always seemed to be out of stock in superdrugs. I was going to purchase two more of Gosh's new collection but I opted for this instead! The other two Gosh polishes just didn't do it for me.

Fab colour! Coverage required 3 coats. Drying time hideous! I purposely decided against using a fast dry topcoat...well because I've nearly run out. Polish dried slightly textured so I'm sure it will be a bugger to remove. Still a fab fab fab colour though. This was also a thousand times better to apply than the Trio polishes I tried. Cost? £5.10.

I also went shopping today with my best buddy and bought a few beautiful things. Primark was our first stop! I love Primark. As a student with not a lot of dough, it's a shop staple of mine. Here's a few pics of what I bought.

The bag I got a few weeks ago but I thought I would put it in there as I LOVES IT. It was a super bargain at £8. The acorn necklace is gorgeous and only cost £2! Its quite a autumnal haul pic. I also picked up a few other bits and bobs including the new Revlon polish Facets of Fuchsia and Boots 17 Glitter Crackle polish.

Sorry about the long post! Picked any bits up for the Autumn yet?

Andrea Fulerton Trio Nail Polish - Petrol in Water

Hi Everyone!

Today I have for you the second Andrea Fulerton Trio nail polish I own - Petrol in Water. The darker shade (Petrol I'm assuming) is a dark brown shimmer near black. Colour is okay although it looks more shimmery in the bottle.

Very dark eh? Nice but not unique. Here is Petrol in Water with the flash.

The second polish once again gives a pretty effect, very similar to Smile in a Storm. A duochrome from purple to blue. Overall I'm pretty much 'meh' over this one. Formula was slightly thick and gloopy. I seen one more polish which I wouldn't mind owning Foxy Lady, but I'll just wait until it's on special.

Well have a lovely Tuesday!

Andrea Fulerton Trio Nail Polish - Smile in a Storm

Hi Everyone

Today I have Andrea Fulerton - Smile in a Storm. It took me a while to purchase one of these as I thought they were slightly on the expensive side (£7.99 each). I caved in though and purchased two, this one and Petrol in Water. The Trio system is basically polishes designed for layering. The bottle is double ended and contains 2 polishes which can be worn on their own or layering them over each other for a third colour/effect. Not a bad idea that.

The first polish is a gunmetal grey polish. Perfectly on trend with polishes like Chanel Graphite being recently released. Not saying it's a dupe but rather it's in the same area of metallic finishes. Here it is on it's own.

And here it is with the second polished, a sheer pink-purple duochrome layered over the top. I did swatch this on it's own, but my nails looked manky (sorry).

Reminds me of a bubble for some reason. The gunmetal looking polish was a bit of a pain to apply. It was a bit stodgy so I only did 1 coat. Drying time took ages as well. The idea is a good one although I do think these formulas could be improved for better application. Colour was lovely, really striking. I will try and get some pics done of the second Andrea Fulerton Trio I have. Purchased them both from Superdrugs.

Have you tried any of these trios? Any thoughts on the concept?
