Iconic Effect Purple Paradise

Time for some sparkle now, with another beautiful glitter from Iconic Effect. Earlier on in the week I was loving Pop Rocks By Iconic Effect, and now this one. It is stunning!
Purple Paradise is a whole mixture of dark purple glitter squares, magenta sequins, smaller pink, purple and other coloured hexes, and multi-coloured smaller glitter that capture the light beautifully. The overall appearance in the bottle is pink and purple but I keep seeing more colours, my camera can see orange and green, but oddly it has not captured the large magenta sequins which I can see very clearly. To the naked eye they look beautiful against Blackberry Fool but not at all visible on the pictures I'm afraid.
I have seen this over a number of more contrasting shades so I chose to try it over a similar base and I love this finished result. The glitter distribution was good, and it dried quickly - another success for Iconic Effect!

Iconic Effect Pop Rocks

Yikes, it's been a whole week since I painted my nails. The previous mani lasted really well, which was great because its been such a busy week but look here, another UK Indie that is just staggeringly beautiful!
This is Iconic Effect Pop Rocks. It is a pale blue cream with magenta pink sequins, hexes in pink, blue and purple and then more tiny sparkly glitter.
I swatched this over a few base colours to start with. The base used here is Nails Inc Bluebell which is not quite the same shade of blue, but close enough for it not to detract from the colour of the polish. I also swatched it over a pale grey and that looked good too. I used one coat of Bluebell and one coat of Pop Rocks, with a tiny bit extra where I went fishing for the bigger pink sequins although glitter distribtion was pretty good first time round.It dried well, and the finish is lovely and smooth with one coat of topcoat.
I think this is just beautiful. I am not really comfortable wearing pale pretty shades but add in that gorgeous magenta glitter and I am completely loving it.
Well done to Iconic Effects for bring out such a lovely polish, and even the label is pretty :)
