Swatch Catch Up (Up to May 2020)

Hello! Today I'm back to catch you up on some of the polishes I've swatched recently, but not yet posted on here. All swatches included have already been posted on Instagram. Going forward, this is likely to be a monthly post - but for now, this is a big catch up with every polish up until the start of May. This is a bit of a long one, so read on and get stuck in!

It doesn't really matter, but I've put these in the order that I actually wore them (or at least posted them on Instagram) - because why not?!

Frenzy Polish 'Apple Picking' is a green crelly base with a few different colours and shapes of glitter. I don't think I've ever shared a Frenzy on my blog, and though the brand is no longer around, I do have a good few in my collection. This was the first polish I gravitated to when I painted my nails post-baby and I really like it! Below is three coats with topcoat.

Danglefoot Nail Polish 'Merrymaking' is a clear-based glitter topper with bright glitters in varying shapes and sizes. Below shows one coat with topcoat over Barry M gelly 'Iced Latte'.

Nine Zero Lacquer 'Ectoplasm' is a neon green crelly with black, purple, orange, and white glitters. This was kindly sent to by Kirsty over at Fairytales Nails. She knew it had been on my wishlist for forever, and wanted to surprise me with some nail mail! Below is three coats with topcoat.

Painted Polish 'Stamped in Saltwater' is a bright blue creme and stamping polish. I used this as a base for a Captain America mani (inspired by a babygrow of all things). Below is two coats with topcoat.

Barry M 'Ocean Blue' is a bright blue creme. This is part of a limited edition collection of Wildlife Gelly nail paints, with 20% of profits supporting wildlife conservation. Below is two coats with topcoat.

Colors by Llarowe 'Everyday is Special' is a white shimmery polish with a strong purple flash. This was a Rainbow Connection exclusive that I came across in a destash mystery bag. It is sheer, but very pretty. Below is four coats with topcoat.

Painted Polish 'Whimsical Wanderlust' is a deep blue jelly base with holographic glitters, scattered holographic, and ultra chrome colour shifting flakes. This was originally a PPU (Polish Pickup) polish, but I managed to snag it from the Painted Polish website. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Ever After Polish 'Ketchup Smothered Fries' is a shimmery yellow base with bright red glitter shards. This was a limited edition polish that I picked up at the 2017 Chicago Polish Con. I love how fun it is! Below is three coats with topcoat.

Nine Zero Lacquer 'Flirt' is a hot pink crelly with silver holographic glitter. This was another one included in my surprise parcel from Kirsty, she knows me so well! Below is three coats with topcoat.

What do you think? Are any of these in your collection? I've enjoyed taking a step back from more scheduled blogging (sorry!), as it's given me a bit more freedom to wear what I feel like at the time, and then I can post whenever suits me best. Hopefully this way works for blogging too! I should be back soon with a similar post for nail art.

Hope to see you in the next post!
