Beautybay Nail Polish Set - Champagne and Fireworks

Welcome back polish people! I hope you're all well and having a good week so far. Today I have swatches of a nail polish set from Beautybay to share. This was more of a festive set, however you can still get the polishes individually, so I thought it was still worth sharing :)

There are five polishes in this set, so let's get stuck in!

First up is Liberty Avenue, a classic red creme. Two coats - 





Secondly is Fireworks on Broadway. This one is a multi-glitter, packed full of all different size and coloured glitter particles. Two coats over bare nail, and one coat over black - 






Next up is Champagne's Flowing on Hollywood Boulevard, a metallic gold. It's a shame this one needs three coats, as the website claims it only needs two -





Fourth is Fairy Lights Twinkle on Fifth Avenue. A pretty gold glitter, with different sized particles and a holographic finish. Here I have layered on coat over Liberty Avenue - 






And finally, It's a Starry Sky on Wall Street. This black infused with gold glitter is my favourite of the bunch. Two coats - 






Apart from the unnecessarily long names, I really like using the Beautybay polishes. They're great quality for the price, and there is a good range of varied colours.

The set only cost £9.95 which is a steal as individually the polishes are £5. 

However, at the moment, the entire Beautybay collection is HALF PRICE at Beautybay.com.

Thanks for reading, and I'll see you again in Friday :)

Orly - Sparkle Mini's

Hello everyone, and happy Tuesday. I hope your weeks are all going well so far. 

Today I'm going back in time to Christmas time! I did buy this Orly Sparkle Mini set before Christmas, but I never got round to swatching. But I thought, seeing as though you can still get hold of these polishes I would share them!

Released for the holidays 2014, the Orly Sparkle Mini's include four of the six polishes from the collection, all in diddy 5.3 ml sized bottles.




From L-R, Bling; Tinsel; Mirrorball and Glitterbomb.

First up is Bling. A warm gold glitter. I really like the warmer tone of the golden base. This swatch is of two coats - 






Next comes Tinsel. Not my favourite of the bunch I have to say. I'm not sure about the bar glitter, I think it's a bit too big and sort of takes over the nail. This swatch is if one coat layered over Barry M Black - 





Third is Mirrorball and my favourite of the bunch. A holo silver glitter, but with larger glitter particles thrown in there as well :) Love this one! This is two coats - 





And finally it's Glitterbomb. I really enjoy this one, it's just a lot of fun! And the small pink particles give a extra something to just a plain old glitter polish. This swatch is just one coat, again over Barry M Black - 





I do like buying these mini sets, as I think it's a great way to try out brands / collections, and if you're like me and have 54216806 nail polishes, you're not likely to finish full size bottles of anything anyway! However, I think if I didn't want to try the collection for the blog, I would probably have just bought the full size Mirrorball. I still might!

The Orly Sparkle Mini set is £14.95 and I got mine from Nailpolishdirect.co.uk.

Phew! 

I hope you enjoyed today's post and I'll see you on Friday :)

Zoya - Yuna + Mosheen

Happy Sunday everyone! 

I'm back after making my schoolboy memory card mix up error......

Today I have two colours to swatch from the lovely Zoya. Before these two pretties, I only owned one other shade called Holly ;) You can't find Zoya in lots of places over here, but you just have to know where to look. Or just go on Amazon! I'm excited to grow my collection. Because, obviously I need all of the them and I don't own enough nail polish already.

The first colour is called Yuna. Released as part of the Ignite collection for Fall 2014, she is a lovely soft grey with golden / bronze metallic flecks. Nice and opaque in two coats, though I did think twice about using just the one -






Next comes Mosheen, from the Zenith Holiday 2013 collection. This one is an icy blue glitter topper, however when it's layered onto the nail the colours become more aqua in tone. Reminds me of the sea this one! The swatch is one coat of Mosheen over the standard Barry M Black - 





I can't decide which one I prefer... I think I'd be more likely to wear Yuna. But then I don't need to pick a favourite, that's why we have 10 fingers! ;)

This is why I wish Zoya was more readily available here. On Zoya.com, polishes re $9, however in the UK they retail around £10.50. Boo. However, I purchased mine from Nailpolishdirect.co.uk, where they are currently £8.95 (though there a couple for £7.95 as well). And they deliver FREE in the UK :)

I hope you're all having a great weekend!

See you Tuesday,
