Although I'm not blogging I am still keeping up with the things I used to blog about, so as well as still buying polish and painting my nails regularly I have been keeping up with my crochet too, obviously James has been helping me...</div>

I'm interrupting my brief hiatus (if you can interrupt an interruption) from blogging to show you this cream polish I've bought recently and love. Regular readers may remember that I have been on a quest to find the perfect cream coloured polish for some time now and never quite managed it, but now I think I might finally have got close.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The polish is a Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine, one of the new releases, Coconut.</div>
<br />

The formula wasn't brilliant, I found it a bit streaky and it needed 3 coats to get it looking perfect but all was forgiven one I saw the colour of the dried polish, could it finally be the holy grail cream polish I have been hunting for?!!</div>

It's maybe more of an off white or ivory than a true cream but it's close to what I have been picturing in my head so whatever colour it is, I like it!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's lovely on it's own; a really fresh, crisp neutral of a colour and it's also great as a base for nail art or stamping, you can see my very speedy stamping attempt over it below.</div>

I don't think I'll ever give up my mission to hunt down the perfect cream shade of polish, which currently seems to exist only in my head, but in the meantime Coconut is a worthy contender for the top spot. Well done Barry M, you've made a cream obsessed nail blogger very happy.</div>

As you may have noticed I haven't been about for the last few days, I've decided to take a bit of a break as I was finding the commitment of posting every couple of days was getting in the way of real life and taking up a bit too much of my time. I don't intend to give up entirely but for the moment I have too much on to commit myself to the blog in the way that's needed to post regularly.</div>

I'd call this more of a bright peach rather than a neon orange, I'd love to see these in proper bright sunlight to see if they seem more neon that way, regardless it's pastel sort of finish definitely makes it more peach than orange to me, it's a pretty summer colour either way.</div>

The application of this polish wasn't great, it goes on quite streaky and doesn't leave an opaque finish hence the third coat, it's worth sticking with though as the finished effect and colour are nice.</div>

These pictures are two coats which gives a nice bright opaque coverage. The finish of the Polish for Tans is slightly rubbery and matte without a top coat but I like to add a layer of quick dry top coat to give them the super shiny look.</div>

I wouldn't really class this polish as a neon, I suppose at a push you could call it a pastel neon but to me it really just looks like a bright, sugar sweet Barbie pink sort of shade. It is lovely for summer though so although it's not a typical neon I do think it's a good pick for this time of year and will probably look great with a tan.</div>

Flip Flop is the green from the Polish for Tans collection, it's a very yellowy green not quite as bright as some neon greens I've seen but still a bold choice for summer.</div>

The polish can be slightly streaky to apply, these pictures are 2 coats with top coat and in some places I think a third coat might have been beneficial to fully smooth out all of the imperfections.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The polish dries very fast which can also make application slightly tricky, the finish is a sort of semi-matte, rubberised effect. Although it's an interesting finish I refer to top mine with some top coat for a super shiny look.</div>

Shades is a gorgeous neon coral pink, really bright and zingy and perfect for summer. Although the polishes in this range are meant to look best with a tan I think they also go rather well with my very pale skin tone and still pop beautifully.</div>

I used a mixture of Models Own and Yes Love polishes to create this Easter themed Mini Egg manicure. I'm pleased with how it turned out but seeing the two brands side by side has made me think I might need to add more Models Own Speckled Eggs to my collection.</div>

These are my current lip obsession, creamy smooth lip butters in three lovely flavours. I can't decide if the Raspberry Rose, a soft fruity scent, or the Caramel Cream, a warm biscuity scent, is my favourite. The Vanilla and Macadamia is also lovely although a little plainer than the other two, in my opinion, I don't want to eat it quite as much as the other two. ;)</div>

I'm very proud of how it turned out, despite the battle I had trying to straighten the ripple edges, at the time I swore I was never going to do it again but seeing the finished product makes me think it was almost worth it!</div>

It was a rather long process but I love the finished product, although I think if I was doing it again I would go back to a more random ripple colour pattern, <a href="http://pieseyes.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/ripple-progress.html">like this one</a>, or maybe use fewer colours.</div>

651 reminds me of a strawberry milkshake, it's exactly the right creamy pink colour speckled through with red and blue textured pieces - hopefully you don't get them in your next milkshake!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They're lovely bright pastel neons, the application isn't great, these swatches are 3 coats which is what it took to get them looking opaque and fairly even but once they're on they are lovely spring / summer colours. I'm going to try them over a white base coat and see if that makes application any smoother with less coats.</div>

In natural light they definitely look quite neon but in artificial indoor light they are less neon and more just like very bright pastels, like in the picture below.</div>

First up I ordered the <a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/nails/polish-for-tans.html">Polish for Tans Collection</a> which are apparently <em>"the first-ever collection designed to enhance and compliment a natural tan. Five essential summer shades chosen to highlight golden skin from sunrise to sunset. These tan-enhancing neon-pastel shades are the perfect combination of muted brights - the ultimate collection for beach babes!"</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't resist the bright neons and had to get the whole collection:</div>

Next up a couple from the <a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/products/nails/speckled-eggs.html">Speckled Eggs Collection</a>, I already have a few <a href="http://pieseyes.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/yes-love-lilac-speckled.html">Yes Love Speckled polishes</a> which are very similar so it seemed silly to double up, which is why I only bought two; Magpie (minty green) and Goose (yellow).</div>

As you can see from the first picture I also sneaked in a bottle of Utopia from the main collection to make the order up to £30 so I got free P&P; a great way to convince myself I am saving money by buying more polish. Stand by for swatches over the next few day.</div>

These pictures are two coats and as you can see it's nicely opaque at that. The polish dries reasonably fast but not quite as fast as the Sugar Mats, possibly due to the different textures and make up of the additional colour particles.</div>

What really impressed me about this polish is how well it lasted, even without a top coat, it managed 4 days with minimal tip wear and no chips which is pretty good going for a textured polish.</div>

It pains me slightly not to buy the whole collection but I figured it was best to try a few out before getting carried away, as I wasn't sure I would love these quite as much as Kiko's other textured polishes the Sugar Mat Collection.</div>

The Cupcake collection are similar to the Sugar Mats, but not the same; the formula is a bit chunkier as the Cupcakes have more multi-coloured pieces in them rather than just fine shimmer. Despite this they apply in a similar fashion and dry nice and fast (although not quite as fast as the Sugar Mat). They definitely have a slightly more chunky, textured look to them too.</div>

My nails are not in the best state at the moment, as well as being constantly stained they are also soft and peeling which is something I've never, ever had an issue with in the past. Generally I can grow my nails to a pretty decent length without having to think about it or do anything special but recently that's not been the case so I decided to take action!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidQ3fKh410ytGM1vb97QgUalQ_KjEtEt1qFLJbyaH4gJdxKIrZphu0rOO84fL-wuaY-RjBYrbRKI2vF_x-xqlS3TQA8zIas6Cgv8T1P9cvUB_GuhmYa7Hu4SvN5pMub1y1XE3FhLr_xCTZ/s1600/nailtiques.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidQ3fKh410ytGM1vb97QgUalQ_KjEtEt1qFLJbyaH4gJdxKIrZphu0rOO84fL-wuaY-RjBYrbRKI2vF_x-xqlS3TQA8zIas6Cgv8T1P9cvUB_GuhmYa7Hu4SvN5pMub1y1XE3FhLr_xCTZ/s1600/nailtiques.JPG" height="344" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My action came in the form of <a href="http://www.nailtiques.com/products.asp?CategoryID=1">Nailtiques</a>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong></strong></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong>Nailtiques Nail Protein</strong><br />Formula 2 - Treatment for
Soft, Peeling, Bitten, Weak or Thin Nails Nailtiques Nail Protein formulas were
created to treat different nail conditions. The salon-tested formulations offer
special combinations of ingredients, including hydrolyzed keratin and protein in
combination with gelatin and calcium to build a healthy nail foundation. The
protein formulas bond the nail layers together building a strong nail foundation
resistant to peeling, chipping and splitting.</em> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So hopefully this should sort them out! Application wise the instructions say to apply daily to begin with and say you can use coloured polish at the same time, but they also say to keep adding a layer each day and then remove at the end of the week so I was unsure how the formula would get through the colour and work properly, hence my naked nails.<br />

It would probably be a good idea to keep my nails bare and just use the treatment for a good few weeks but I have some new polish I am really keen to try out so I don't think I will last too much longer without trying them on, maybe after that I'll go back to bare for another week...</div>

Nearly black is, as the name suggests, a black base with lots of multicoloured shimmery glitter particles through it, it reminds me of the night sky or maybe of fireworks or some sort of gem stone.</div>

The formula is a little thicker than standard Kiko polishes but does dry nice and fast, I still use a quick dry topcoat though to give an extra shine to my nails.</div>

Beetlejuice polishes are supposed to be colour shifting duochromes but this polish isn't really, it's a peach with a golden shimmer but not a true duochrome, in my opinion.</div>
