Colour Mishmash!

I have done swatches of quite a few of my existing colours so I thought I'd do a bit of a mishmash collection! Yes, it's for (remember to say it in a booming voice)

First up:
 

 

A England King Arthur - from A England's first collection based on the King Arthur legends. Straight up: I have loved everything A England has released that I own. Take from that what you will

 A England Princess Sabra - Khaki holo. 'Nuff said.

China Glaze Champagne Bubbles - hopefully you can see the delightful little hints of glitter (just like champagne bubbles... WAIT. I JUST GOT THE NAME). Sheer, but buildable. I like it.

Color Club Power Play - as a Canadian, it KILLS me not to put that 'u' in Color. Colour colour colour colour. Ahem. Bright pink neon, dries matte/rubbery. This polish is 4 years old, I think, and its still working it! Good for Color Club.

Color Club Volt - nice bright blue. Although 2 coats still gives VPL. Still like it, though.

Personal anecdote time:I got these two Color Club colours when I was on vacation in Mexico. Friend and I took the bus into Puerto Vallarta for my first and only Sally Beauty Supply visit. I had to go to Mexico for Sally Beauty. In theory, they exist in Canada but I have not seen one in my travels nor sought one out specifically. Trade Secrets and Nail Polish Canada get all my money!

Orly Paint on Electron

My first magnetic polish! How exciting!

So today we have Orly Paint on Electron form their Magnetic Collection. Did I ever tell you that I love Orly's giant bottles? Really! 18 mL (0.6 fl. oz). That's GIANT. So much polish. I really appreciate their generosity.

ANYHOO, back to this polish.

I love the idea of magnetics. I do, really I do. But I find it very hard in practice. I pretty much touched al my nails with the magnet. But maybe its not too obvious? Maybe? The formula is nice and the 'base' colour is a lovely gun-metal grey shimmer which is cool by itself. The starburst magnet (I think form LCN - its not branded so I'm not sure) does add a little something-something.

I need practice! But I do like it. Maybe I'll pick up some of the Sally Hansen magnetics...

Cheers!
