F is for Flutterina

My F polish is the ABC Challenge is Eat Sleep Polish's Flutterina. It is part of her Fairies and Princesses collection.

On the website it is described as a silvery lavender sparkly, shimmery, micro-flake filled holo.

I did two coats, but I really think I could have used a third.

As you can see there is some visible nail showing.
This picture was taken using my light box and the holo is not showing up a whole lot.

This second picture just taken under a regular shows more of the holo, but it also looks like a different color.

Oh how I wish for some sunshine to photograph these beautiful holographic polishes.

Not so Enchanted Winter

Recovering from a major winter storm.

Enchanted Winter by Finger Paints is my E polish in the ABC Challenge.

It is a pinky rose colour, I really can't describe it accurately, I read another blog mentioning it as a copper based color. It is a textured polish.

here it is without a top coat. I like it better with though.

D for Dream On

Little late on putting up my D polish for the ABC Challenge.

I chose Enchanted Polish's Dream On. It is an exclusive polish made for Nail Polish Canada, which is where I picked it up in either December or January.

It is a deep purple holographic.

I did top coat this with Seche Vite, which I find whenever I top coat a holographic polish is does seem to dim the holo somewhat. The above pic was taken in the sunlight.

Below is one I took in my light box.

Not nearly the same holo-y goodness as there is in sunlight, but still very pretty.

ABC Challange: The Letter C

Next up for the ABC Challenge is the Letter C.

For this manicure I chose Layla's Cherry Diva from their Soft Touch Collection. There are some very beautiful polishes beside Cherry Diva in that collection. Cherry Diva a a beautiful pinky colour with a strong gold shimmer running thru it.

Layla is an Italian polish company. They don't put the names on the polish bottle, just a number on the cap. Cherry Diva is 05. The Soft Touch polishes are I believe meant to be worn without a top coat. Here is a picture before I added a top coat of Seche Vite.

Soft Touch is an accurate description of the polishes it does feel very soft when you touch it.

I did put on a top coat.

It makes it shiny but didn't really enhance the gold shimmer very much.

and because I had just received my order from Moyou London, I decided to stamp over it.

I'm not sure how readily available this line is anymore, but if you are in Atlantic Canada Lawton's does sell the brand.

The Big B

Time for the second letter of the alphabet B.

For B I chose Bright Copper Kettles a polish from one of my favorite indie polish makers  EatSleepPolish .


Bright Copper Kettles came out around the holidays in 2014. It is a matte and textured polish(very light texture). This is two coats.

I also decided to add a top coat afterwards

still as equally beautiful either way.

A is for Apple

Time for A in the ABCchallenge.

I started off with Dance Legend Argus as my pick, it is a fine microglitter polish. So it didn't go full coverage as you can see

So off it came (easily since I did a Elmer's Glue basecoat). So still sticking to the A theme I went with Maybelline's Audacious Asphalt. A very pretty light grey that needed 3 coats to become opaque.

So I decided to add one coat of my original A choice Argus over it and I really like the combo.

Thanks!
