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 :)

Pocket Money Polishes My Girl

Something really special for you today, my very first ever Indie, and what's more, it is a UK Indie!

I saw this blogged by lovely Charlotte on So You Beauty and I thought it was so pretty I ordered one within minutes of seeing it! It arrived the next day and I have been wearing it since Monday, but have been so busy with other stuff I really didn't want to rush my posting.

I chose Nails Inc Pembridge Crescent as my base, and I think this grey lilac makes a beautiful base for this polish.

This is Pocket Money Polishes My Girl and it is such a pretty polish. It is a mix of grey and pink hexes and lots of tiny microglitter that pick up all sorts of colours and I absolutely love it!

It painted on well, glitter distribution was good and it dried quickly too. I wore it with one coat for a day and then added a second coat. I like it both ways, the final pic is with one coat, the rest are two coats of glitter.

This is her one of her first polishes and if this is anything to go by, I think she has success on her hands.
