2True - Sequins - Naomi

Another textured polish today, I'm getting slightly obsessed I think.  Today's is Naomi from the Sequins range by 2True.

 

 

Naomi is a beautiful blueish purple shade filled with gorgeous sparkly sequins like pieces of glitter, these pictures are two coats, both of which applied easily and dried quickly.

 

I really love this polish, it's so pretty and perfect for cold crisp winter days, it looks like some sort of icy glittery snow affair, definitely one I am keen to stamp over.

Sparkly Haul - Part 2

There is only one person to blame for this mini sparkly haul and that's Claire from Nuthin' but a nail thing.  Her recent post on the best of all the textured polishes, along with her lovely photos, meant that I had to add a few more to my collection, that combined with Superdrug having a 3 for 2 on all cosmetics at the moment meant that I came away with these three pretties:

 

 

Barry M Nail Effect Textured Nail Polish in Lady

2True Sequins in Naomi

Maybelline Brocades in Rosy Rosettes

 

Lady is a second attempt to get a white textured polish which I like, I really didn't get on with Celestial Pearl, the very similar looking polish from Seventeen, so I am hoping I'll like Barry's version better.

 

Rosy Rosettes looked so lovely in Claire's pictures that I couldn't resist and I thought it might go with an outfit I am wearing to a wedding soon so that was all the excuse I needed to buy it, plus it'll be lovely over Christmas for a festive manicure.

 

Naomi is just pretty, and reminded me of a friend who recently passed away so it seemed like a perfect choice for my third polish to complete the trio.



Stamping over glitter

I think the colours are a bit too close on this one to really give the proper effect but I do like how it turned out.  In person it looked very foily and quite like nail wraps.

 

Kiko Mirror Nail lacquer in Violet stamped over 2True's Shade 6 from the other day.

 

Again I am delighted with how the Mirror polish stamped, so opaque and easy to use, if you're someone who stamps then a few of these polishes would definitely be a good addition to your collection.

 

I think the pattern I chose combined with the similar colour I stamped with and the glitter underneath meant that it wasn't quite as obvious as I would have liked but it was still a pretty manicure to wear for the day.

2True Glitterati Limited Edition Nail Polish

I picked these three polishes up in Superdrug the other day, the 2True cosmetics are always 3 for £5 which was a deal I couldn't resist when I saw these glittery bottles, you can also buy them individually for £1.99 each.

They are imaginatively names Shade 4, Shade 5 and Shade 6.

I've seen this range before when Claire posted about them, and having tried out Shades 4 through 6 I am pretty sad I didn't manage to grab 1, 2 and 3 when they were avaliable.  Unfortunately by the time I checked Superdrug they had all sold out.

Still, I'm pleased with the three I did get and so I couldn't wait to try one out.  I went with Shade 6, the pink, which I absolutely love, unfortunately it is impossible to photograph well becasue it is so sparkly and reflective.

In person it looks much more pink and foily rather than the individual pieces of glitter standing out the way they do in these photos.

I was expecting this polish to be really sheer so I layered it over a pink base of Kiko 377, then I added two coats of the glitter, in reality I think three coats without the base colour would have been fine too because the polish is not as sheer as I thought it would be.

The glitter is really packed into the bottle which means that it's easy to get a good amount onto your nails for full bling effect.  I really like this polish and for £1.99 (or 3 for £5) I'd say it's a great deal and well worth picking up.
