GOT: Textured Nails
I used Barry M's Countess from October 2013, A England's Sleeping Palace from August 2013 and A England's Ascalon from July 2013.
For these nails I began by doing a gradient with A England Ascalon and Sleeping Palace. This turned out to be a very subtle gradient. I then added some striping tape and used Barry M's textured Countess over the top of the striping tape and then I removed the tape revealing the pattern below.

Swatch: OPI - Alcatraz Rocks
Colour: Purple / Navy with Gold Flecks
Finish: Glittered Texture
Opacity: Two Coats
Brush Type? Pro Wide
How Much? 15ml
This polish can be worn as it is, or top coated for a glossy finish. I think this polish really comes to life and looks amazing once it has been top coated. I have shown both ways below:

Looking through my collection I noticed two polishes which were similar, one a possible dupe:

Countess is more purple based where as Alcatraz Rocks is more blue / purple based.
