Sue Moxley Famous - Purple Dazzle

To the person who decided they should stop selling this at Superdrug and move to Argos - Boooooooooooooooo!

I'm gutted that they're stopping this because I wont be slogging over to Argos when I want a little treat for myself, although I think the half pricey-ness is awesome (although be careful, every single item has gone through at full price every time I've been).

I love, love, love glitter polishes, but I hate, hate, hate taking it off, even with the foil trick. :( But I've tried 5 of these glittery polishes now and each one has been a dream to remove, I'd wear glitter every day if it was as good as this!

Can you see the slight holo?
I wore Purple Dream while I was away this weekend and it held up ok. It's a two-tone polish with flecks of glitter in, it's predominately purple but has flashes of pink and gold. Unfortunatly, unless you're in exactly the right light then you don't see any two tone when it's on your nails as well as you do in the bottle. As with the last polish it goes on nicely, it seems rather thin and watery on the first coat but opaque on the second coat.

I got about 2 days wear out of it, although I did go swimming on the second day and it pretty much all flaked off while I was in the pool. 


With the flash to show the standard colour

George - Shatter Top Coat

George have let me down. :(


I love so many of their products, but I'm just not keen on this. The depth of colour is great, and it's lovely to put on, but that's it.

Asda have brought out a few shades of their new shatter polish, currently on sale at £2 as an introductory offer. I chose to get Silver and Gold because I've already got Barry M's shatters and only tend to use the black one. 

One of my many attempt to make it shatter. Silver
I mentioned it was nice to put on, it is nice and if it was a normal polish I'd be chuffed as monkeys, but it takes a fair long time to dry compared to all the other shatter polishes on the market. This also doesn't seem to shatter well, it more...well...splinters. My other shatter polishes do exactly that, and they look great and get great results even without trying, I had to remove this a few times and apply very thinly to get a half decent shatter otherwise it just looked like streaky polish.

Messy, because I got fed up!
