Swatch: W7 - Metallic Saturn



Brush Type: Wide and flat
Polish Finish: Metallic / Shimmer
Opacity: Three coats
Lasting Power: Average

Quite a difficult polish to apply, brush strokes were quite obvious. Possibly a dupe for Chanel Peridot and Model's Own Golden Green. There is a slight colour shift in this, very subtle duochrome. From a deep golden yellow to a green, but this is quite slight.

52 Week Challenge: Week 21 - Green

This challenge really seems to have a lot of different looks, is anyone else doing it?
This week's theme was 'green'


Base Polish: W7 - Fluorescent Green
Shatter: Barry M - Black Nail Effects

As you can tell I wasn't a fan of the brightness of the green on its own and I think it looks so much better with a crackle. Especially the black.

Stamping Sunday: Three Colours

I wasn't too sure if we were to stamp with three colours or just use three on the nails. They didn't come out quite how I envisioned, Kath Kidson-esq, but to the eye they are a lot less patchy and the roses shimmer.


Base Polish: Barry M - Berry Ice Cream
Stamping Polishes: Barry M - Racing Green, Miss Sporty - Cherry
Stamping Plate: M65
