This is a gorgeous glitter polish which is predominantly filled with gold holographic glitter pieces. Add a mixture of black glitter flecks and you've got a beautiful Candace in your hands.

Swatches and review: Picture Polish O'hara

Hi ladies! Today I have a beautiful red polish to share with you all - Picture Polish O'hara, part of the Opulence collection. Now for me, red and beautiful don't usually go together in a sentence when I'm describing nail polish but I think O'hara will be one of the few red nail polishes I love and will wear often. I didn't realise this at first but O'hara is in fact a holographic red...

Swatches and review: Ozotic 624

Hi ladies! I recently wore Ozotic 624 and let me tell you, this one is an AMAZING holographic polish ♥ I applied two coats in the photos below and it flowed onto my nails.

Glimpse the rainbow amongst grey skies

Green colour blocking :)

Hello ladies! Often, I find inspiration from the many manicures I peruse on nail blogs and Pinterest. When I sit down to paint my nails, I will turn to these looks and add my own twist and flair into the final manicure. This time though, I pretty much copied a manicure from the talented lady over at La Paillette Frondeuse. She has some amazing manicures and when I spotted her colour blocking manicure,...

Once that was dried, I placed some striping tape on the nail and reversed the colours for the second gradient...
