Random Swatch Saturday - Illamasqua Vice

Well I am pretty much snowed in again. It snowed really hard today...I'm kind of sick of it now. Lots of roads are closed. England cannot handle snow! 

This week it's Illamasqua Vice, from the 2011 Theatre of The Nameless collection, which is one of my favourite Illamasqua collections. 

Vice is a deep, vampy berry shade, with a rubber finish (It's sort of like semi-matte) some people have said they struggled with application but I had no problems, I think you just have to load the brush quite a lot so you don't drag the polish. I used two coats.

New Barry M Spring Launches - Textured Nail Effects and new Gelly shades!

Exciting news from Barry M dropped in to my inbox today! I always get excited when they released new products!

New for Spring is Textured Nail Effects and all-new Gelly shades! 

Let's take a look at textured - 

Here's what Barry M says:

Channel East End cool by adding some grit to your nails! Textured Nail Effect’s grainy, matte formula creates a unique textured effect for a grunge-chic look. Available in 4 Spring/Summer shades named after famous haunts where Mr Barry Mero began his early working days in the markets of Ridley Road and Brixton. Ridley Road (Green) TNP4, Kingsland Road (Pink) TNP3, Station Road (Yellow) TNP2, Atlantic Road (Blue) TNP1. 

These will retail for £3.99 each.

These look fun! Sounds like they could be similar to Nails Inc. leather effect? 

And here are the new Gelly shades! -

To add to our Hi Shine Gelly Nail Paint collection Barry M have 4 new exotic fruit inspired shades! Lychee GNP10, Dragon Fruit GNP11, Green Berry GNP12, Papaya GNP13 will be your go-to shades this Spring for an extra shiny mani.

Gah, give me that green immediately!! 

I'm super excited for these. I'll have swatches for you very soon, and details of when and where they'll be available!

piCture pOlish Mallard by The PolishAholic - Swatches

Oh wow, do I love Mallard. This polish is from a range of collaborations with bloggers, and Mallard is from The PolishAholic. It's a bottle-green/gold shimmer base, with green and orange flakies. It basically resembles the feathers of a Mallard, which is the cutest idea ever! I'm a big fan of dark greens too so I just had to get this.
