Alright Lovelies!

When my wonderful in-laws came for a visit a few weeks ago, I had asked my sister-in-law to send them with some polishes of course!  And so I got my first group of Barry M and she included a lovely little number from A England. 

Oh aren't they pretty!?!?  I was so excited to open them!  From top left we have Gold Mine Glitter 355, Teal 334, Ruby Glitter, Amethyst Glitter 354, (second row) Emerald Green 284, Pink Sapphire Glitter 352, Pink Quartz Glitter 349, and last but certainly not least is A England Dragon.  They really are lovely, aren't they?  Sometimes I wonder if I like nail polish more for how pretty it all is in the bottles!

I will post my review of the A England polish separately as that polish could become my very favorite ever!  I added a pic of the Ruby Glitter over China Glaze Wicked Style and Maybelline Color Show Onyx Rush below.

First of all forgive the mussed up job on my first nail, I was in a hurry to get them done before we went out for dinner that night!  Ruby Glitter has lovely little hex and round hot pink glitters in a clear base with small round and tiny black glitters.  I was hoping that this would have gone on a bit more opaque, but with two coats I think it did the job.  I didn't have to "fish" for any of the glitters and it wasn't too gloppy.  Overall I thought it was good and it will be a nice little glitter for my collection.

Do you have any Barry M?  I believe you can sometimes find them on Harlow & Co, and possibly eBay and Amazon.

Hello Lovelies!

Today I have to talk to you about my first Illamasqua to join my family, Viridian!  I had looked at this polish several times over several different trips to Sephora, and then the good ole' IRS sent me some money back  and so she became mine along with several other goodies!

You probably can't tell from here yet that I love green.  In fact as I type this and think about it, I don't even really wear it alot.  BUT  I'm always drawn to it when I'm looking at clothes and make-up, even art and photography.  LOL I think I try to not buy it because I'm afraid I'll end up with all green in my life, and now I hardly have any!

But enough about me, can I introduce you to Viridian?

Sorry if this pic it too large, but I really wanted you to see this lovely color.  I know emerald is the Pantone color 2013, and I think his a beautiful deep emerald green.  If you look you can see the little glitter flecks in this, it kind of twinkles in the light!  You'll notice on my two middle fingers there is a bit of dragging at the base of my nail, I'm not sure if that's the polish or just my bad painting skills.  I added a coat of butter London in Knackered on my index finger.  I'll have a review of that later :-)  I just can't say enough about this Illamasqua polish, the color was amazing and the formula was fantastic.  I've recently purchased two more polishes from their Imperfection Spring collection and I'll have a review on those later.

What do you think?  Do you have any Illamasqua, do you love it?

Hello everyone!

I'm back with a new post!  Last week I had to order my Zoya nail polish remover and whilst I was on their website, I decided it was time to order something from the Spring Lovely collection and my first Pixie dust.  I settled on Jacqueline and Godiva.  Mainly because I do have a love for classic neutrals, but also because I thought I could do some fun things with them together. 

First I will talk about Jacqueline.  What a lovely creamy yellow shade this little one is!  It almost looks like butter!  It has a soft iridescence to it's creamy base. As usual Zoya's formula was great, it was a little streaky with the first coat as most lighter polishes are but I think it evened out nicely with the second coat. I wasn't sure how much I would like this color, but once I put it on I knew it would be one of my favorites for spring!

This picture doesn't really do this polish enough justice.  It's just really lovely....as the name of the collection says!  If you're looking for a new neutral, that isn't pink and isn't beige then I highly recommend this polish!

Once I had this on, I still desperately wanted to try my new Godiva Pixie Dust but I wasn't quite ready to part with Jacqueline yet so I decided to try something new.  I added Godiva on my tips for a soft and texture contrast french mani.

Hello everyone!

So first I want to apologize for not posting in ages!  Work got super busy and then my in-laws were in town from England, so I was a bit distracted.  BUT during that time I picked up some awesome stuff to blog about, including some new polishes brought to me from across the pond! 

Also I've changed the name of my blog from nailsessity to Polish Pusher!  My friends kept telling me I was like a "pusher" when I talked about my polish loves, and so the new name was born!  I kinda love it and am going to be working on a revamped look for the blog as well. 

I promise my posts will be more frequent in the future and I plan on doing some make-up blogs as well, since that is my second love. 

I hope you've all been well and I look forward to sharing my new lovelies soon!!!

cheers xx
