Topic Tuesday: Favourite Polish Purchase 2021

I think that so far in 2021 my favourite polish would be either Danglefoot Cyclops which is a jelly finish indigo polish with copper flakies. Or Danglefoot Tears in Rain, which had been on my 'lust list' since June 2019. It is a denim blue with orange, red shimmer.

Stamping Plate: MoYou London - Gothic Collection 01

I bought this stamping plate in September 2014, I hadn't gotten around to reviewing it until now.

This plate is rectangle and has a selection of Halloween / Gothic images on it. All of the images stamp across well, and here are some nails I have done using the plate;

Nail Polish Swatch: Tonic Polish - Jinx

I used my original GOSH Holographic again and I am getting low on it and so wanted to find a similar polish to that one. Born Pretty Store Zeus Sword is a good one as well as this one. Neither of which are exact dupes, the holographic pieces are a lot finer in GOSH Holographic, but both this and the BPS one are very good.

Topic Tuesday: Favourite Pastel Linear Holographic

I'm don't have a pastel linear holographic polish, this is the closest I have Born Pretty Store Tender. Which is a lilac scattered holographic in a slightly duochrome base.

Stamping Plate: Konad M63

I got this stamping plate back in 2011 and haven't used it much recently so the examples of nail art I have done using it aren't the best!

The images stamp across fine, my issue with the plate is the full size nail images are just not full nail size on my nails.

I recently was using this polish and realised the last swatch I had done of it was nine years ago in 2012!

Then and Now Throwback Nails: South Park

As today is a Thursday I am throwing back to some nails I did in 2010, and recreating them now 11 years later to see if I have improved! While I don't own all the exact polishes used originally, I have used similar colours.
