Happy New Year!

Just a little New Year greeting from me, click HERE to see the Jacquie Lawson card I am sending you...

I'm celebrating New Years having the mother of all colds that started during the night, I'm sneezing and all other "fun" stuff connected to a cold. I have basically been ill all of Christmas, and now this *looks and feels grumpy - I HATE December* :(

If you are having problems accessing it, this is the text in the card:
I wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year with a lot of lovely moments to cherish!
Love, Maria

Glam Polish Glam Batch #18 swatches


Glam Polish Glam Batch #18 is a gorgeous purple holo with glitters/flakies in purple, blue pink and holo. It is fairly opaque in one coat, but this is two with a coat of Seche Vite. Looking at the bottle I wasn’t sure it would what I hoped it would be – but oh wow, once on the nails with a coat of Seche Vite I fell totally in love!
From time to time Glam Polish sell the so called Glam Batches from their own webshop, prototypes that never made it into collections, quote: “Because they did not fit in with the colors and themes of our collections or because they have formula issues with settling ingredients or thickness, that the color is too close to another shade that we have already released, or because the ingredients used in the polish are no longer available.”
Do you also love this one..?

Glam Polish Glam Batch #19 and #20 swatches


Today I have swatches of two of the Glam Polish Glam Batch polishes: Glam Batch #19 and #20.
From time to time Glam Polish sell the so called Glam Batches from their own webshop, prototypes that never made it into collections, quote: “Because they did not fit in with the colors and themes of our collections or because they have formula issues with settling ingredients or thickness, that the color is too close to another shade that we have already released, or because the ingredients used in the polish are no longer available.”

Glam Batch #19:
Glam Polish Glam Batch #19 is a gorgeous, slightly muted pink leaning magenta with glitters and flakies in pink, purple, holo and then some. It reminded me quite a bit of Picture Polish (a)live, but is has a different finish and a bit more bling-y/alive if you want, pun intended. You see it in two coats with a coat of Seche Vite.

Glam Batch #20:
Glam Polish Glam Batch #20 is a purple holo with a light duochrome shift to bronze and it has copper-golden, blue and other flakies. It is very opaque in one coat, but this is two with a coat of Seche Vite.
What do you think of these two - I like #19 a lot!
