Swatch Spam Sunday: Peita's Polish

I hope you guys aren't sick of swatch spams yet.  My finger is nearly in a presentable condition so I should be back to painting my nails again.  Woohoo!  I know I am excited.  I have so many pretties waiting to be played with.  Anyway, for today's swatch spam I have three macro glitters from Peita's Polish.  Peita's Polish is actually the first indie brand that I ever purchased from (it was a black and white glitter called Zebration in case you were wondering).  Since then I have dived quite deep into the indie pool and probably own just as many indies as I do mainstream these days.  

All That Jazz is a combination of pink, green and white micro glitters in a clear base.  My swatch shows one coat over China Glaze In A Lily Bit.

Fizzilicious is a combination of pink, orange and white matte mirco glitters in a clear base.  My swatch shows one coat over Color Club East Austin.

Jellybean Dream is a combination of pink/purple and blue matte mirco glitters in a clear base.  My swatch shows one coat over China Glaze That's Shore Bright.

I absolutely adore Peita's macro glitter polishes, particular the matte ones.  They are just such fun colour combinations and are really easy to use.  I think I actually own all of the ones that she has released.

Unfortunately it appears that these polishes (and the bulk of Peita's polishes) are no longer available.  I'm not entirely sure if this is 

Swatch Spam Sunday: Femme Fatale Cosmetics Edition

Happy Swatch Spam Sunday!  I know this is only the second Swatch Spam Sunday I have done but I really do tend to push back planned swatch spams for posts with newer things.  I can definitely plan to do more Swatch Spam Sundays (and on a regular basis) if you are interested.  Just let me know.

Today I thought it would be fun to break out some of the old Femme Fatale Cosmetics polishes.  I absolutely love the old style bottles and polishes that Femme Fatale did which is why I collected the brand for so long.  This is actually the first month that I haven't purchased a single Femme Fatale polish.  What?  Yep.  There was a couple that I really liked but the bottles were so limited that I just couldn't be bothered even trying for them.  I was also interested in the COTM but I couldn't justify the price of postage for one bottle so I got none.  Anyway, I'm getting side tracked.  Onto the polishes!

Crimson Acolyte.  One coat over Zoya Izzy, with two coats of top coat.

I have a couple more swatch spams planned for next week while I am waiting for this cut on my finger to heal.

Are you a fan of swatch spams that are of older polishes?  I like the trip down memory lane.  Plus it's nice to give some love back to them.  Maybe I should try and swatch my entire polish collection (the ones that aren't already on my blog).  Thoughts?

Swatch Spam Sunday: Essie Edition

I am trying to make more of an effort to try some of my untrieds (and to revisit some of my older polishes) so I figured what better way than to introduce Swatch Spam Sundays on my blog.  These posts won't happen every week or even at any set interval just whenever I have enough swatches of a brand that I can do a post.  I am aiming to do about six polishes per post.  I think it's a nice number.  All swatch spam posts I will keep the babbling to a minimum.  There are definitely plenty of reviews of these polishes around now.  Now onto the Essie polishes I have worn recently.

Absolutely Shore. Three coats.

Bikini So Teeny. Three coats.

Bobbing For Baubles. Two coats.

Boom Boom Room.  Two coats.

Sexy Divide.  Two coats.  Fun fact: this was the first ever Essie polish that I purchased.  Well that and Matte About You.
