Pink And A Pot Of Gold
A few weeks ago I did this glitter gradient and told you how much I've been loving them and that I would be doing some more in the near future. Well, here is another one. I love their simplicity, yet I receive the most compliments from people when I have something like this on my nails.
For this glitter gradient I used my only Jessica polish which I love - Samba Parade, a gorgeous baby pink. The formula is getting a bit strange on this one, maybe because I've had the bottle for so long! For the gradient I used W7 Gold Dazzle which is just a gold glitter bomb and for £1.95, it can't be beaten. The larger hex pieces of glitter in there are loose pieces that I randomly placed on the nail to give it a bit more variety and sparkle.

Shimmer Polish - Eva, Irene, Jasmine
Today I have a few Shimmer Polishes to share with you. Most of you have probably heard and even swatched some Shimmers yourselves but for those who haven't, Shimmer Polish make beautifully dense glitter bombs in an array of colours. The glitters are usually small to medium in size and although they are quite densely packed, they apply really smoothly. No need for careful placement, fishing or manoeuvring.
The three glitters I'm showing you today are Eva, Irene and Jasmine. I know this picture is showing four polishes but I'll be showing you the last one (Lorene) in tomorrow's post :)
Eva is a beautiful berry red jelly packed with glitters, that can be worn on it's own or layered. This is two thin coats of Eva on it's own. It's one of my favourites too!
Irene is described as a "champagne golden silver". It can also be worn on it's own. The swatches below are two coats (middle finger has two thicker coats which gives complete opacity). It sparkles so much and it reminds me of China Glaze I'm Not Lion.
Jasmine is an aquamarine glitter which consists of green, blue, gold and I can see some red glitters in there too. This is one coat over Mavala Lagoon.
You can purchase Shimmer Polish directly from Cindy's Etsy store. There are also lots of beautiful swatches and product information on their website and Facebook page.

Gold Quilted Amethyst With Jacava Marrakesh Nights
Today I have a British polish brand to show you - Jacava. I like that new brands enter the nail polish market every now and again. They always have something new to offer and it keeps the big boys on their toes.
What I really liked about this polish was the opacity (opaque in one coat) and the bottle shape (oval with a long gold cap). It looks very luxurious but not great if you store your polishes in a helmer.
The formula, although amazingly opaque, was quite thick but nothing a little thinner couldn't solve. The brush is a little too thin for my liking (I'm a fan of the OPI type brushes) but apparently the brush just touches the base of the bottle so you can reach the very last drop. That's actually great as I hate throwing away bottles that still have enough polish for about 2 manis in there.
Jacava is designed in London and made in the UK, its free of Formaldehyde, DBP, Camphor and Toluene.
I choose Marrakesh Nights which on the Jacava website is described as "The most sumptuous amethyst satin nail polish, laced with the finest crushed gold and diamond coloured powders." That just about the describes the colour accurately. The "coloured powders" don't actually show on camera but it still makes for a pretty autumn/winter colour.
I think this colour goes really well with gold so I stamped the accent nail with a criss-cross pattern (Cheeky CH11) and added some lose gold glitter. I really like this pattern, it looks quilted, so will probably try it as a whole mani although it would take me forever to place the glitters :(
Here is a swatch of Marrakesh Nights on it's own:

Rose and Gold Touches
Today I'm wearing a soft pink shade. Babydoll by Leighton Denny. It's one of my favourite pinks along with Jessica Samba Parade, although I say that about a lot of shades! The application on this one was quite streaky and it needed three coats to even everything out but nothing too bad for a pastel.
My latest attempts at nail art have been feeble to say the least so I kept it quite simple with a mish-mash of glitter and stamping.
The two gold glitters used on the accent finger are W7 Gold Dazzle and a coat of a Brazilian brand called Dote Preciosos - Cristais Dourados, sent to me by Bia. I stamped using BM14 and Barry M Golf and Silver Foil.

OPI - Live And Let Die (James Bond 007 Skyfall Collection 2012)
Today I have another one of my picks from the OPI Skyfall James Bond Collection to show you. This dark shade really captured my attention. It's a blackened green creme packed with gold flecks. It is very dark but the green tinges are still visible, even in dim lighting. A perfect winter colour in my opinion, I can see myself using this shade a lot in the coming months. I can't say a single bad thing about the formula either. It's buttery perfection in one coat.
I thought that adding a little extra gold wouldn't go amiss so inspired by one of my Instagram friends, Nic, I added chevrons to the accent nail and some loose gold glitter.

OPI - Casino Royale (James Bond 007 Skyfall Collection 2012)
This is Casino Royale from the OPI James Bond 2012 collection. I was really excited to try this one. It's a perfect bright and rich plum creme with magenta and red undertones. A killer shade for Autumn/ Winter and I love that it's not too dark that it looks almost black. I found it to be lighter and brighter than the bottle swatches I had previously seen and love it even more for that. It's sexy and vampy yet such a classy and warm colour too.
I think this may be the base polish used in the promotional picture for Man With The Golden Gun. As it looks so well with gold (and sadly I don't have Man With The Golden Gun), I added a gold leopard accent with Orly Glitz and Glamour which as it turns out, reminds me of Golden Eye because of how saturated the gold flecks are.
I'm so glad I picked up a bottle of this after turning my nose up at it during my first browse around the OPI stand!

Essence Snow White - Sneezy & The Huntsman
I've been seeing fall colours everywhere recently and whilst going through my untrieds to sort by colour, I came across these two polishes recently sent to me by a friend on Instagram.
Essence Sneezy and The Huntsman, both from the Snow White LE collection. Sneezy is a medium chocolate brown packed with silver micro glitter. I don't own very many browns so this is a nice addition to my stash!
The Huntsman is a gold glitter topper with extra pieces of gold hex glitter and some shredded glitter too. I really like shredded glitter but the pieces in this polish just seem strange and out of place to me. I love it nevertheless! I'm sure it would look really good over nude or a black base too.
Can't wait to try some of the other Snow White polishes!
