Born Pretty Store holo polish!

Hey guys, today I have a born pretty store holo polish to show you all. I am a huge fan of holos, they are just so pretty! 

I haven't had a chance to check this polish out in sunlight yet but I have taken some pics under direct light and indirect light. It's really hard to get the holo to show in photos, but like I said, I haven't seen this baby in sunlight yet. The one I am posting pics of is #8 but I also bought #2 at the same time. 

This is going to be a pic heavy post, sorry in advance! 

Sorry for the icky hand colouring, it was the best pic of the holo so I had to post it! 

This picture was taken in indirect light. 

What do you guys think? I will see if I can get some better pics in the sun tomorrow and will update if/when that happens (we've had incredibly crappy weather here the last few days so it could take a while for that to happen). 

Have a great weekend guys! Bye for now,

Covergirl, gloss n' sparkle and sinful colors 

Hi all, today I have some holo goodness to show you all! I'm really happy with this mani, it is the first time I've been really happy with the way my stamping has turned out and it also has holo, what could be better?! 

The pink I used is covergirl everbloom, it is a pretty pink creme, the white is sinful colors snow me white and that holo! Oh my, it is gorgeous and the best part of it is that I can use it to make anything holo! It is gloss n' sparkle spectraflair holographic top coat. If you're a fan of holo polish then you need this! You can find the shop here. 

Now for the pictures! 

This picture was taken outside in direct sunlight. 

This was taken inside and as you can see it still has a beautiful holo effect. 

The stamping plate I used was from the born pretty store and can be found here. 

Thanks for reading guys, I hope you like my mani as much as I do! Bye for now,

Savvy by DB

Hi all, I have some new polishes to show you today. The brand is Savvy by DB, I bought my first 3 polishes from this brand today and so far I am impressed! They are exclusive to Priceline pharmacy and cost $3 each which is a total bargain! 

I got UFO, razzle & dazzle, and galaxy

The mani I am currently wearing is 2 coats of UFO topped with one coat of razzle & dazzle, before I put pics of that up I have some individual pics of the swatch sticks.

 

Galaxy is a gorgeous green foil duochrome, I couldn't capture it properly but you can see a little of the gold flecks through it in this picture. 

UFO is actually a lovely deep purple with a subtle gold shimmer through it. This picture absolutely does no justice to the colour. Purples are so hard to photograph! 

Razzle & dazzle is gorgeous! It is gold micro glitter with rose gold hex glitter scattered through it. It is so pretty! 

Now for my current mani! 

As I said before I am wearing 2 coats of UFO and 1 coat of razzle and dazzle. Sorry for the bad lighting! 

Anyway, that was my purchase for the day :) did anyone else find anything new? 

Bye for now,

Arcane + Ulta3 glitter gradient 

Hi all, hope you're all having a good Tuesday. Today I have a quick glitter gradient to show you. It didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped but it looks alright. 

For the base colour I used ulta3 soft hydrangea and the glitter gradient was done with arcane lacquer what a calamity? 

I really love the arcane polishes, they are so pretty and I'm slowly working my way through my collection. Bec, the mastermind behind the brand has opened an etsy store so you can now purchase her amazing creations that way. 

Thanks for reading, bye for now,

KKCenterHK Review

Hi all, recently I was asked to do my first review for the online store KKcenterHK .

Their nail art decorations are really cute and there are so many to choose from! I received N.Nail 2.5mm mix star glitter (NNAIL-Mix-Star-2-5-mm) . 

I picked out some of the gold stars for my mani because I like to keep things the same. I'm really happy with how they turned out. The stars were incredibly easy to use and they look really nice. 

Next up was some N.NAIL Studs Circular Pink 2mm Nail Art Decorations (NNAIL-DRN664) .

I've never used studs before but I found it to be extremely easy. Make sure you work with one nail at a time, use a slow dry top coat and place the studs where you want them to be. I then finished it off with a coat of seche vite. Unfortunately the stamping that I did got a little smudged but overall I'm happy with the final results. The studs look really cute as the flower centres too. 

My experience with this company has been very positive and I will definitely be purchasing from them in the future. As an added bonus they have offered my readers a 10% off for orders valid until 31st Jan 2014. Simply use the code "justanotherpolishjunkie" how great is that! 

Thanks for reading, bye for now,

*disclosure - items were sent to me free of charge by the store for review*

Arcane + Revlon moon candy

Hi all, it's been a while again I know, I've been wearing naked nails for the last week to try and get my cuticles in order (which, by the way, didn't work! I got lazy and kept forgetting to use my cuticle oil). 

Anyway, today I decided to try Arcane Luna Madness. This colour is gorgeous! It's a black jelly base with pink and blue glitter. I'm not a big fan of wearing black nail polish but this one works. I like! 

So after wearing Luna madness all day I went into target this afternoon and found the Revlon moon candy I've been wanting and it was the last one so of course I had to buy it! I kept Luna madness as my undies and put 2 coats of the flakie side on top. WOW! It is so pretty! I can't stop staring at it!

It reminds me of a black opal. Seriously gorgeous! Thanks for reading, bye for now :)

All the Arcane goodness! 

Hi all, last week I received my amazing Arcane order in the mail! It was my Mother's Day present (gosh my 3 year old knows me well haha). I've been a bit slow putting up a post about this but honestly I've been really unhappy with the pictures I took. My cuticles are a mess at the moment and I could never get the colours to show properly in the pictures. Needless to say I was almost not going to post anything but I have changed my mind so you will just need to see my horrible pictures. 

Firstly, this is what I got 

Don't mind my horrible computer table, it's seen better days! These polishes are so gorgeous! I cat wait for the next preorder for Arcane because from what I've seen so far, they are well worth the wait! If you're interested in ordering any from her next lot you can find out details over at Nail Gun XS

The first one I tried was Bated Breath (chosen by my 3 yr old). It is a super cute shimmery pale green filled with more glitter than you would think. 

I really liked this colour. I used 3 coats for the above photo. 

Next up is The Power The Passion. I am soooo in love with this colour! It is a gorgeous deep purple absolutely jam packed with different coloured glitter. 

Definitely not the best picture but you can see the lovely holo glitter in this picture.  Last but not least is An Amorous Disposition. This is another one I am in love with. It's a gorgeous pink with black, pink and silver glitter through it. 

This photo truly doesn't do the colour any justice. It is so amazing when you see it in person! 

So far they are the only ones I have tried but you can bet it won't be long until you see the rest of these babies! The whole collection is just amazing and I'm so glad I was able to get them all! 

Thanks for reading! Bye for now,
