Primark Angelica

This duo was absolute chaos to get the proper colour to camera, it appears as a beautifully shimmery purple a lot lighter than I can get on camera but in a diferent light it's more a musky purple brown colour. The colours I used was Technic purple, a cheap 99p I picked up from a stall earlier this year and the Primark Angelica I've already posted about before used with a light blue, so you can see total different effects with the different bases.

Phoenix Nails has been supporting Children In Need with a mani to match

Children in Need Inspiration

I'm sure everyone in the UK knows it is Children in Need night. This is a little fun mani to represent Pudsey. The colours I used are all Barry M, Lemon Ice Cream, Mint, Blueberry Ice Cream, Matte White, Black and Raspberry and a dotting tool to create the pattern. 

Enjoy! x

Ludurana Marmorizado: Carraro

This is another polish I got in a swap, Ludurana Marmorizado: Carraro. This is my first Ludurana and it did not disappoint. This is such a pretty pale pink packed with fine darker pink and silver glitter. The glitter is not over powering and very subtle. It reminds me of strawberry milkshake. 

Application was a breeze, I have used 3 coats here and you can see there is still VNL so either another coat or a base underneath would solve that. 

I would definitely love to try more Ludurana polishes.

Enjoy! x
