Dragonglass Nails Good Witch

I have a lovely new polish by another UK Indie today. I heard about Dragonglass Nails a couple of weeks ago through one of the Facebook groups, so of course I had to have a look and spotted a couple that I fancied trying.
Todays polish is inspired by the the Wizard of Oz and is called Good Witch, so of course it is all pretty and fairy like! In the bottle it is shimmery particles in a pinky base, but the pink is very subtle when you use one coat. I didn't bother trying to build it up as my nails are stained green from my last mani (more suited to Bad Witch probably!)
I swatched it over OPI I have a Herring Problem, Leighton Denny Little Thief, OPI Thanks a Windmillion and Nails Inc Fulham Palace Road - picture at the end of this blog.
I thought it looked pretty over all of them but the glitter seemed to be shown off best on the nude, so that's the one I chose.
This polish had an interesting jelly like consistency, and reminded me a lot of flakies although the particle are much smaller. The glitters have that same iridescent shimmer that you get with flakies too and the overall look reminded me a little of China Glaze Make a Spectacle
I used two coats of Nails Inc Fulham Palace Road, which was just enough to obscure the green staining, and then one coat of Good Witch. This gives a textured finish but I added a coat of top coat for a smoother finish today. When I wore CG Make A Spectacle I gave it a coat of matte top coat which had a lovely effect and I expect I'll try that on this one too!
Good Witch is a really pretty, quite subtle glitter, which catches the light beautifully and picks up all sorts of pretty pastel shades.
I really like this polish and I think its going to be very versatile as it looks good over a number of different colours. It also got a sister called Snow Queen which is an icy blue shimmer, I think I need it!!
Oops lots of words, usually means I am frustrated the pics haven't captured how much I love the polish!!! and lots of pics too :)

Pre mani swatches

Nails Inc Belgravia Gardens and China Glaze Make a Spectacle

I have a beautiful nude for you today. I love nudes, and probably have slightly more than I need, but I love their subtle differences. Nails Inc Belgravia Gardens was either in a TSV or an auto delivery after a TSV, not sure as I got mine in a swap and when I first received it I thought it was the same as Basil Street. In the bottle they look very similar but on the nail Belgravia is darker and cooler, although still quite a warm nude.
It went on well, giving excellent coverage in two coats and I loved it the instant I put it on.
Shown here without a top coat.

I decided to add some subtle sparkle, so I chose another untried, China Glaze Make a Spectacle, which is a  pretty mix of shimmery hexes and fine glitter. I can see golds and greens in it on my nail, but can also see blue, pink and purple in the bottle and have seen those colours on other swatches, so I will be testing this one again on a less neutral base to pick those other colours up.

It's so pretty I took lots of pics over a couple of days to try and capture as much loveliness as I could!

This first pic does capture a lot of the colours, I can certainly see blue. pink and purple here, as well as the green & gold.

 

 

 

 

 

And finally some of shots with a matte top coat, added after a couple of days. No pink or blue in this shot but you can really see the other colours and I’m really rather pleased with this.
