Peacock Pie Love

Hello lovelies,

Today I have an absolutely stunning polish to show you! I recently made a purchase from the ever so lovely and talented Serra at Peacock Pie. Today I am sharing with you Kinki-winkle (the name gives me the giggles). This polish is part of a whole winkle series that I simply must obtain! Check of Peacock Pie on Etsy to see what I am rambling about.

Anyhoo Kinki-Winkle is is a deep red jelly that leans to maroon packed full of periwinkle (including triangles), gold, silver, red and iridescent glitters. Basically it is beautiful.

I am a huge lover of jelly polishes especially vampy delicious ones such as this.

Prepare yourself for the gorgeousness that is Kinki - winkle! I used 2 coats overtop of Star Kin Vampy.

It looks like I am wearing the night and stars on my fingertips! This polish is a gorgeous inky blue jelly filled with glittering hexes, squares, circles and of course stars!

Nail Art Challenge - A Trip Down Nail Art Lane: Day 2

Technically this is not being posted on day two... but due to technical difficulties it had to be posted today :(

Anyhoo the theme for day two of this challenge is to create nail art "with your last purchased polish of 2013 and first of 2014."   So my last purchase of 2013 was Iri by Star Kin and my first purchase of 2014 was O.P.I Houston We Have A Purple. These two polishes were perfect together :)

Okay so my design was fairly simple but effective - triangles!  :) 

for this design I used stripping tape... this is an area of development for me, as I nearly always rip off polish with it! So I was really happy with how these came out. 

Houston We Have A Purple is such a delicious jelly!! YUM and paired with the gorgeous Iri was the perfect mani. Here is a close up shot of Iri because it is so pretty ^_^

Don't forget to link your post to Moonshine and Sunlight if you are participating in this challenge or just go have a peep at whats happening! 

                                                 See you later on for Day 3 of the challenge!

Star kin Swatch Extravaganza: Part Two

Okay hi guys! welcome to part two of my massive swatchfest of stunning Star Kin polishes!
let's get straight to it!

First up is 335.6 a thermal colour changing polish! Packed with multiple blue, green and purple glitters it changes from a pretty lilac to a soft blue! I did not manage to capture the natural gradient effect this polish gives but it is so pretty.

However here is a bottle shot of 335.6 to show you the beautiful glitter range.

Here is the cold version as you can see I ran my hand under the tap to get a true colour! This is three coats ( I added a coat this morning to touch it up because I slept on it and slightly ruined it) but it was opaque with two coats.

and here is the warm colour (again under the tap) most of the time my nails are a pretty gradient mi of the blue with purple tips! The photos I took did not show this however :(
