Hero in Disguise

Good evening lovelies!

Are you as relieved as me that the weekend is finally here? Honestly I know I say it every week but it cannot come soon enough for me. I cherish my Friday nights so much :-).

Tonight I am going to share with you the beautiful swatches of my first ever Indie polish purchased from Carolina over at Colores de Carol.  I was so pleased when I realised that Carolina has been able to offer International shipping from the USA so I quickly snapped up Hero in Disguise, which I will show you now, and Cupcake Fantasy which I will feature next week. They arrived in super quick time and have settled into my polish stash very nicely :-).

Hero in  Disguise is a light grey jelly polish which has a subtle shimmer mixed into the base and is packed with small yellow hex glitters, larger coral hex glitters and lots of little black stars. The polish comes in a 15ml bottle and is big 3 free.

I decided to layer my Hero in Disguise over one quick coat of Revlon Hazy. Mainly so I could make this manicure perfect in just two coats of Hero in Disguise and not waste a third coat for the sake of opacity.

In the below shot you can see just how glitter packed this beautiful polish actually is...

With the flash on...

This final shot is the same as above but with no flash.

How do you like Hero in Disguise? Do you own any of Carolina's beautiful Indie polishes yet? I saw on her blog just recently that Carolina has also added some Limited Edition St Patrick's duo polishes, I particularly love Irish Night, and also the super cute Girls Night Out collection.

I will be back to buy more :-)

Nail Haul... Two new to me brands :)

Hey lovelies! TGI Friday...

I have such a lovely weekend coming up... I cannot wait! Tonight I have the girls over for a spray tan party! There are 7 of us lovely ladies all wanting a golden glow in preparation for Saturday nights party of the year (so far)... Hayley's 30th Masquerade Ball :-).

We are so excited... We have gorgeous ball gowns, glittery masks, pretty strappy shoes and of course pretty matching nail art for as many of us as I can manage to get done in one day :-).

The reason for this mini post is actually too share two very exciting nail mails that arrived this week. The first was quite a large package containing my first ever Illamasqua's! I recently went onto the website to treat myslef to just one but there was a sale... a really good sale... needless to say my basket was full and the rest is history :-)

Don't they look exquisite in their boxes... I almost dont want to open them?!

My second nail mail I was equally as excited about. It contained my much anticipated first Indie nail polishes from the lovely Colores de Carol. I was so excited when I realised that Carolina was releasing her own range of polishes, you can see and purchase the full collection here.

This is Hero in Disguise (pale grey base) and Cupcake Fantasy (pale pink base). My pictures have not done the colours justice but trust me when I say they are gorgeous and I am too excited about swatching them next week :-). Thanks Carolina.

This didnt turn out to be the mini post I had planned but I was just so excited to share not only my weekends plans but some quick snapshots of all these gorgeous polishes.

What plans do you have? I would love to hear about them in the usual comments facility :-)
