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

Famous By Sue Moxley

Why can I not find hardley any swatches of these polishes online? They're brilliant!

My lovely, well trained other half clearly has good taste because he actually picked this one up thinking I'd like the colour and I do!

Sue Moxley is currently on sale at Superdrug, all items are half price so when I was in having my weekly mooch, I saw this range (I always ignored it before because I always assumed it was out of my price range) and honed in on the half price label. From what I've read, the range is being removed from a lot of Superdrugs and being sold through Argos which is a shame because its really good from what I've seen. This polish was about £2.49-ish.

I got 3 polishes, which I'll come to in other posts. This one is Shade 14; how dull is it when they don't name them? I'll hereby name this Bora Bora! because it reminds me of the shades of bluey green sea they have there.

It goes on an absolute dream, and opaque in only 1 coat, dries to a high shine and removes nicely as well. The depth of colour is great, and so vibrant. I love it! I think I'll be using this to do some Konad as well because of how pigmented it is, I think it will be perfect.

I smudged this one. :(

ELF Purple Dream Nails

A proper party polish from ELF. It can be bought here for £1.50.

Purple Dream is full of colour and very eye catching, I can see this being wore a lot over the Christmas period. It goes on quite nicely indeed, as I've found with nearly all polishes from ELF and the packaging is lovely!  I don't find their polishes to be the most long wearing of polishes, but then I only tend to wear them for a day and then take them off so it's no odds to me, although I rarely use a base coat so I wonder what it would be like if I did?

Because this dries to quite a high shine and is so rich in colour I thought it would look lovely matte so decided to do my ring finger with my George Matte polish, but in all honesty I don't think it makes a massive amount of difference.

George Sunset Orange

I'm  a big fan of George polishes, and for a quid they're in a perfect bargain price range.

I needed some new summery colours because I seem to have collected a rather lot of blues, purples and other dark colours so was pretty chuffed to find this nice orange colour that's not too in your face but lovely and summery (and it matches a top I have as though it's been made for it!)

  Unfortunately the colour, in the bottle, was the only thing I liked about it. It's a crème polish, the application was messy and didn't seem to go on well for me at all and was difficult to swipe along my nail so ended up with loads of clean up to do around my cuticles; however it only took 2 coats to be opaque. The colour once it was on my nails was almost neon, and certainly got peoples attention, I did have a lot of people comment on it, but it was too bright for me and didn't compliment my skin tone at all. I can't completely comment on the wear because I removed it before the day was up, but I did notice some slight tip wear.

I do have a lot of George polishes and this is the only one I haven't liked so I've done well there. I'm not going to completely write it off, I think I'll use it for franking or using it for nail art because I think it will be pretty decent for using to marble my nails or to do splatter nails with, will have to give it a try.

George Nail polish

 I don't like ending on a bad point, so seeing as I hated my last product, I'll post one that I love.

I think I'm a bit late on the band wagon with these but I love them! They keep falling in my trolley when I'm doing my ASDA shop (pesky polishes!) and while there on offer for £1 each then they're my kinda price although for the colour range they do, I'd be more than happy to pay more than that.

I've only managed to get a couple so far, but they never seem to have great stock at my local one, bad times :(.

L-R: Be Mine, Streamer, Magical, Deceit, Blue Lagoon, Starry Eyed.

  OK, they don't have the most amazing sticking power, but for a quid and a gorgeous colour, who cares! So long as it lasts the day then I'm happy because I tend to change my nail polish every day, I've found though when testing they start to chip during day 2 but do show slight wear on the tips sooner. The range is great, when they have them of course, they do loads of different shades of each colour and some look like they should be so expensive. The matte shades are on my to-do list, but I've heard these chip really easily so I think I might invest in a matte top coat first.

Deceit

Baring the pastels (why are pastel polishes so hard to get right?!) the formula on them is great, just the right consistency and only ever need 2 coats. The brush is decent for the price, I've had the occasional stray bristle but nothing major.

Starry Eyed over W7 Black Cherry

Has anyone else got their hands on any of these yet? What's your fave colour?
