Nail Polish Swatch: Barry M - Blue Margarita (Summer 2021 Gellys)

Barry M released a range of six gelly polishes for Summer 2021. I have compared this one to previous gelly polishes. I don't think they are actual dupes of any others but they are very similar, Blue Margarita is most like Blueberry but slightly darker.

Nail Polish Swatch: Tonic Polish - Dragons at Dusk

Dragons at Dusk is one of Tonic Polish's best sellers, it is a very shifty duochrome polish and as such I have struggled to take a photo showing all three of the main shifts.

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.
