China Glaze - Cosmic Dust






The second colour I got from the China Glaze Hologlam collection is Cosmic Dust.
Yes, it's a silver shade, which isn't exactly rare for a holographic polish, but this particular silver is more of a steel grey, rather than full-on silver. I've got a couple of silvers, and some darker shades that range from charcoal to gunmetal, so a steel grey is a nice addition to my holo polish wardrobe.



As with Don't Be A Luna-tic, this is a linear holographic. Given the choice between linear holos, or sparkle holos, I prefer linear. However, the holo effect is far more obvious in Cosmic Dust than it is in Don't Be A Luna-tic.

China Glaze - Don't Be A Luna-tic




Being obsessed with holographic nail polish, I had to take a look at the new Hologlam collection from China Glaze. Three shades in particular stood out for me, Don't Be A Luna-tic being one of them.



Don't Be A Luna-tic is a pale seafoam green shade. Thankfully, it's also a linear holo polish, which I prefer so much more than the sparkle variety.

Look - Toxic Envy





It's been forever since I last posted, I really ought to start doing it more often. To kick things off, here's a look I did last night. It wasn't planned out, but I find that those looks always turn out far better than ones I have planned.

China Glaze - Get Carried Away






Another polish from China Glaze's Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away collection; Get Carried Away. Yep, it's another glittery one!

Unlike Whirled Away, Get Carried Away can be used alone, or you can layer it over another polish.



Get Carried Away is a sheer black base that's packed full of glitter - large silver & red hexagonal glitter mixed with small silver glitter, small black glitter & black bar glitter. It's a glitter-fanatic's dream.

China Glaze - Whirled Away



 It's been a while! I haven't posted anything since last october, due to moving house & having an absolute nightmare with getting back online. So, this is officially my first post of 2013.
Today, I'm taking a look at Whirled Away from China Glaze's Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away collection.




Whirled Away is a clear base with black hexagonal & bar glitter, plus white hexagonal pieces. I was mainly drawn to this because it has a similar effect to the Nubar Black & White Polka Dot polishes, but with a bit more oomph.

Look - Smoked Out






Just a quick, smoky eye I did last night to go to a gig. I was feeling decidedly under the weather, so a smoky eye seemed like the best choice to go with.

Halloween Photo Shoot

Today, I worked on a Halloween-themed photoshoot with Karl Walsh Photography. I took a couple of shots myself, these haven't been edited or Photoshopped at all, and they may be a little blurry (it was cold out there), but they give the basic gist.
