Pocket Money Polishes Boogie with Iconic Effect Pea Soup

Very often I plan my manicures well in advance, but today's was a real spur of the moment thing. I was just rooting through my untried box, looking to see what beauty might get used next and I picked up Pocket Money Polishes Boogie.
This is the oldest of my untried Pocket Money Polishes so its only fair it should be used next, but was just wondering what colour base to use and then I noticed that it actually looked really pretty next to what I was already wearing, Iconic Effect Pea Soup. I did a little swatch on one nail and was delighted! so that's what I am wearing.
Boogie is a mix of matte pink squares, red hex glitters, blue matte hexes and teal hex glitters and those colours tie in perfectly with the pink and teal glitters in Pea Soup and I am really pleased with the combination. The hexes and fine glitters in Pea Soup still show through, so I only did one quick coat of Boogie on top and the glitter distribution worked well.
I am really glad I tried this and I love the combination of matte and shiny glitter in Boogie.

Iconic Effect Pea Soup

This one has sat too long in the "waiting to be tried" box, but at long last here it is, and what a beauty! Yet another lovely polish from Iconic Effect, Pea Soup is a mint green cream with large pink hexes, smaller teal hexes, and tiny pink and teal glitters.
I love the pink and green combination in this, it is so pretty; the contrast between these colours is just perfect and the tiny sparkles just complete the look.
I used one coat of Nails Inc Haymarket as a base, to ensure no visible nail line, and then 2 coats of Pea Soup. Haymarket was not a perfect match, but I think it was close enough. The glitter distribution was good although I did use the 2nd coat to ensure I had enough of the pretty pink hexes.
I think the pictures are mostly a reasonable representation of the colour, more green than blue, but pics were taken late afternoon so the light was not brilliant and my hands looks a bit grey. Never mind, I love Pea Soup!
