52 Week Challenge: Week 23 - Spring

You may have already spotted this set of nails I did, if not here is a dedicated post for week 23 of the challenge. SPRING!

Swatch: W7 - Metallic Venus

Finish: Metallic / Shimmer

Opacity: Three coats

Brush Type: Standard

This has a slight colour shift to it, sort of glows. Pink - blue - purple, I really struggled to capture all of these shades in my photos.

52 Week Challenge: Week 22 - Flag

Inspired by a flag. I really should have thought to do an easier design but I thought with it being St. David's Day on the first I got the inspiration from that.

Swatch: ELF - Desert Haze

I got this in February as I wanted a nice light base for stamping on. It is very light and neutral.

Brush Type: Average, see photo

Opacity: Two or three, I used 3 above

Polish Finish: Cremé 

Staying Power: Average

£1.50 - 10ml

Swatch: Essence - Magic Wand

This is a light metallic pink magnetic polish

Lasting Power: 3 / 4 days

Magnetic Look: Quite subtle 

Opacity: One coat would do if you weren't using a magnet on it

Brush Type: Standard

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.
