So it’s been a long time since I last updated my blog and my polish collection has grown considerably. I have a bit of a problem. I have taken the odd photo of manicures I’ve done recently so this post is going to just be a bit of a mish-mash of brands!
First up, my most recent new love. Lime Crime polishes. As far as I know there are only 7 cream shades available and I recently bought 2 from harlowandco a site I really recommend if you like international indie brands. I LOVE them so much. They are bright and creamy and almost completely opaque on the first coat as soon as I’d finished this manicure I went back online and ordered the remaining 5 shades.
The colours you see here are Pastelchio (a neon lime green almost yellow, very similar to Life Gave me Lemons from the OPI Neon Collection this summer, but with a better formula) and Lavendairy (a bright pastel purple that is opaque in one coat) and Zoya’s Cosmo (a beautiful silver holographic texture polish)
The packaging is gorgeous too! Definitely my must have polishes for this year.
Sticking with the neon-y summer theme another indie I picked up was a glitter topcoat from Polish Me Silly (formerly Lush Lacquer) called Freckles. Worn over light colours it really pops and is slightly more subtle than a full on neon polish (which comes next)
Here it is worn over OPI My Vampire is Buff.
My last lot of neons is a skittles manicure of most of the brightest shades in my collection.

Another polish brand I’ve fallen head over heels in love with is Picture Polish, which is an Australian brand that has the most gorgeous glitters. I don’t have that many of these yet as they are pricey, especially in the UK, but each one I have I absolutely adore. Here are 2 from my small collection:
Firstly is Douceur a light cream base with a ton of pink metallic glitter and tiny holographic glitter. I love this one and it is fully opaque in 2 coats.
Next is Ultra Violence which has a bright purple jelly base and loads of small purple and magenta glitter. It is opaque after 2 coats because of the glitter and as it’s a jelly it has a wonderful depth. I wore this for 4 days with HK Girl topcoat and had no chips at all, just a tiny bit of tip wear. (Apologies for the shoddy clean up job in this one, I did it in a hurry)
Right, I’m going to stop there as I could just go on all day. If there are any brands you’d like to hear about please let me know. I’ve recently bought Hare Polish, Deborah Lippmann, Cadillacquer, Girly Bits, Dollish Polish, Crows Toes, Fun Lacquer, Mod Lacquer, as well as a fair few Butter London, Essie, Zoya and tons of OPI. Like I said at the start…I have a bit of an addiction!
