OPI DS Extravagance & MaxFactor Fantasy Fire

I thought I would be posting pics of my June/July Haul today but the shipping company stuffed up and put my old address on the package and now I can't pick it up until 5pm! I am really bored as I planned on spending the day playing with my new pretties so instead I decided to swatch Maxfactor Fantasy Fire that has been sitting in my untrieds pile for months, the first set of pics is two coats of OPI DS Extravagance on its own, the second set is after I added two coats of Fantasy Fire it has added a great red/gold flash effect I like this combo but next time I use Fantasy Fire I think i'll swatch it over another a blue or purple so you can see its purple base color better.

My Little Franken

I was inspired yesterday by Amy from I'm Feeling Nail Venturous she made a really gorgeous franken polish out of other polishes she already had in her collection, its been months since I have made any frankens and I have impatiently waiting for a shipment of frankening supplies and glitter so I decided to give it a go and make a franken out some of the polishes from my stash.

I don't have a name for this polish yet but I think its really cute and love how it turned I love the mix predominantly blue and purple glitters as well as a few other random colors in a white jelly base, I wish I could have added a few more chunkier glitters to the mix but didn't really have any suitable polishes but there will be plenty of time to play when my glitter orders arrive!

Candy Lacquer - Block Party!

I am super excited about my mani today I only just took these pics but wanted to post them straight away as I love this combo so much this is Candy Lacquer Block Party Over Ma.nish.ma Electric Blue I think it looks awesome! The sad news is I saw a girl comment in one of the nail polish groups a few weeks ago that Block Party has been discontinued :'( I'm not sure if this is true or not as I haven't heard this from the seller.

Lynnderella - Bibbitty Bobbitty Boo Blue

I got my first ever Lynnderella polish this week Bibbitty Bobbitty Boo Blue which I have wanted for ages as I love blue glitter and think the name is really cute, but to be honest this polish is no better than any other indie polish I own and not as good as some it is basically a few different sizes and shades of blue and violet glitter in a clear base.

This is two coats over Essence Cool And The Gang it is very pretty but I would never pay eBay pricing for it and I have other blue glitter indie polishes that I like more both Girly Bits Daddy's Little Girl and Pahlish Train Underwater are gorgeous blue glitter polishes that I would recommend you buy before trying to get your hands on Bibbitty Bobbitty Blue.

BSJ Holo #13

I purchased BSJ Holo #13 from a friend in a swap group as it is supposed to be a dupe of OPI DS Glamour and as much as I would like Glamour I don't have $50+ to spend on it, this is a really gorgeous polish and has a amazing rainbow holo effect so much so that it is hard to capture its full beauty in pics, as pretty as this is I still hope one day I might own OPI DS Glamour.
