Swatch: Barry M - Huckleberry

Colour: Light Blue

Finish: Cream

Opacity: Three Coats

Brush Type: Standard

How Much: 10ml

Swatch: A England - Anne Boleyn (Tudoresque Collection)

Colour: Red
Finish: Holographic
Opacity: Two Coats Shown
Brush Type? NEW BRUSH Flat, Wide, Rounded Cuticle

Anne Boleyn is very much a red polish whereas Rose Bower is a pink, so while they could be grouped as both being holographic and both being in the same colour family they are both very different. I think they are visibly different polishes.

Review: BeautyBigBang - Black Mirror Powder*

This nail powder is a black mirror one from Beauty Big Bang. You get 0.5g of powder, which doesn't sound much but you get enough for a fair few applications. Comes in a little twist lid tub sealed with a cardboard stopper. It comes with a sponge tip applicator in a small resealable pouch along with the twist lid pot of powder. 

The idea is you paint your nails and use a UV / Gel topcoat, it has to be one which leaves a tacky residue once 'cured' under the UV / Gel light. Once the topcoat is cured you use the applicator to apply some product, dabbing at first and then rubbing the product in to the nail to create a beautiful mirror shine surface on the nails.

I have a 10% off code "ERA10" which you can use on the website if you would like.

Review: MoYou Stamping Nail Polish - Royal Purple

MoYou Stamping Nail Polish - Royal Purple

This special nail polish is a polish designed specially for stamping, although you can use it as a standard nail polish, which I have swatched below.

MoYou describe the colour as "a rich purple, fit for royals". I would describe it as a sangria purple shade.

The colour on the swatch isn't quite colour accurate, it is a deeper shade. It dries to a semi matte finish.

Overall this is a good stamping polish, opaque, stamps well, and definitely covers a lighter base polish, but not so much over a darker base.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster Holiday Collection H14 (BMH14)

Bundle Monster have a collection called the 'Holiday Collection' which consists of 25 different plates.

This stamping plate is backed with branded backing, so it doesn't have sharp edges, each plate has six images on them. This particular plate has four full nail images and two smaller images.

This plate is New Year's themed. All of the images stamped across well and I particularly like the clock and have used it a few times already.

Here is a set of nails I did using this plate:
