Seche Takes Chances


The final lacquer in the Bright and Bold Summer 2013 is Takes Chances, a purple creme that is opaque and highly pigmented in one coat. I used a base of Seche Natural, 1 coat of polish, and a top of Seche Vite.  The purple isn't quite Barney, but definitely isn't light enough to be a lavender - it's just kind of in the middle. It's a little darker than Zoya Remove+ (now that I'm thinking about purples).

So in the sun, I'm learning that this is another ridge filling nightmare polish. If you have ridges, well - this color may not be for you.

Haha just kidding - use a ridge filler instead. Here in the shade, you can see it almost turns into a blurple, but not fully.

Finally indoors with the sunlight streaming through - pretty, opaque, and purple.  Great for stamping too - but I didn't do any. Look for some nail art soon though!

Seche [Website | Facebook | Twitter] Nail Lacquer is available at professional beauty supply stores, select etailers and Ulta online. Price ranges from $4 to $7.50 depending on retailer.

butter LONDON Royals Collection

So just yesterday I was telling you how much I loooove purple. So imagine how excited I was to hear that butter LONDON had this cute little collection of purples to celebrate the Royal Family!
On top we have Lillibet's Jubilee, a silver lavender foil metallic, on its side is Pitter Patter, an opaque, aubergine shimmer and finally on the right is No More Waity, Katie, a semi-sheer, greige lilac jelly glitter.

 The three piece is available for $39 and is still available at Ulta.com and on the butter LONDON website.

Seche Not Easily Swept Away


If you've been following PolishGalore for any period of time, you may have figured out that my favorite color is purple. So you can only imagine that when I saw this lovely lavender, Not Easily Swept Away, I was jumping for joy. But not every polish can be a winner.

I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 1 coat of polish and a top of Seche Vite.

Now the polish itself was lovely - highly pigmented and opaque but mother of pearl, those ridges! I need to wear a ridge filler with this polish and I don't know why. The rest of this collection didn't do me this way. I was a sad panda.

The shade is a little better - not as much ridge shame but blah!  Okay, so I'm not totally in love with the shade of lavender - it's much lighter than I'd prefer but still lovely.

Finally indoors - more ridges. Yikes. Definitely wear a ridge filler next time - or else your little secret is on display like no tomorrow.  Kinda like Miley's backside at the VMA's this year.

Seche Pretty Little Heartbreaker


Continuing to go down the line of the Bright and Bold collection and this is Pretty Little Heartbreaker, a bubble gum pink creme. I used a base of Seche Natural, 1 coat of polish, and a top of Seche Vite.

Another winner here from Seche.
Very Barbie pink.

Great base for stamping or nail art, I feel.

Very opaque and pigmented. I'm not sure I could wear this on a daily basis like it is, but I'm sure there are plenty of ladies who would love this baby.
