Swatch Catch Up

Hello lovelies! Today I'm back with a good old swatch catch up. I said at the beginning of the year that I was making it my goal to finally publish all of my drafted posts and unposted manis. I managed to completely catch up recently, which means I have a lot of random swatches to share with you. There's a lot of polishes in here, so let's get stuck in!

Swatch Catch Up @acertainbeccaa

Painted Polish 'Stamped in Scales' is a teal creme that doubles as both a regular polish and stamping polish. It's no secret that I love Painted Polish cremes for stamping and I have quite the collection of them now. They stamp brilliantly and also apply smoothly straight onto the nail. Below is one coat without topcoat.

'Ard As Nails 'Tangerine Burnz!' is a neon orange packed full of shifty flakes. This was actually a gift from the brand owner Kat, who sent out polishes all month long in January as a RAOK. I love neons, I love flakes, I love orange - so this was a winner for me. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Lilypad Lacquer 'Too Much Excitemint' is a saturated green holographic. This was actually sat in my destash pile for a few days, but there's just something about the shade of green. I pulled it back out and wore it, and now it's safe to say it's back in my helmers. Below is two coats with topcoat.

Sally Hansen 'White On' is a white creme. I used this as a base for another mani, and figured I may aswell take an updated swatch picture. I really don't get on with white polish as I find it streaky, but I don't mind this one. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Gracefull Nail Polish 'Born To Fly' is a soft green with flecks of gold. This is super pretty but I did find it to be on the sheer side so ended up applying four coats. I did get this a good while back, and from a destash, so it may just be due to the age of the polish. Below is four coats with topcoat.

Painted Polish 'Yacht to be Cruisin' is a bright blue with nude holographic microglitter. This is perfect for any summery or nautical-themed mani. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Dystopia Nail Polish 'Rusty Cage' is described as a chocolate brown base with a shifting green gold to blue shimmer. This was Dystopia's contribution to the virtual Polish Con UK event last year. This definitely sits in more of the green/gold range on my nails. Below is two coats with topcoat.

KBShimmer 'Snow Much Fun' is a blue jelly base with a variety of white glitters including snowflakes. I love this polish and gravitate towards it every Winter. You can see my original swatch of it from back in 2016 here. Below is three coats with topcoat.

OPI 'I'm Sooo Swamped!' is a medium green creme. This is one of my all time favourite greens and one I reach for all the time, so I figured an updated swatch picture couldn't hurt! Below is two coats with topcoat.

ILNP 'Pretty Little Liar' is a berry holographic. I purchased this from Rainbow Connection back in 2015, and shockingly had never worn it until this year - woops! Below is three coats with topcoat.

China Glaze 'Beak on Fleek!' is a bright yellow creme. This is the polish for Big Bird in the Sesame Street Collection, a collection I couldn't pass up! Like most yellows, it is quite streaky. Below is three coats in it's natural matte finish.

Love, Angeline 'Pass Me The Sweethearts' is a soft white crelly with a variety of colourful hex glitters, larger circle glitters, and red heart glitters. I couldn't resist pulling this out for a Valentines mani - it's so cute! Below is three coats with topcoat.

China Glaze 'Violet Vibes' is a bright purple. This is from the famous Electric Nights Collection that I feel everyone had. I find it to be more of a squishy crelly formula than a creme, so it does need a third coat. Below is three coats with topcoat.

China Glaze 'Good As Marigold' is an orange creme. Can you tell I was on a bit of a China Glaze kick?! Below is three coats with topcoat.

Danglefoot Nail Polish 'Through the Stones' is a shimmery blue that shifts to pink/purple. I love the reflective, shifty, shimmery polishes that Hayley comes up with! Below is three coats with topcoat.

Jindie Nails 'Snow Angels' is a light blue crelly with various shapes and sizes of white, blue, pink, green and gold metallic glitter. I could still see my nail line after three coats, possibly due to the age of the polish. Below is three coats with topcoat.

KBShimmer 'Shattered Heart' is a neon pink base with various black glitters, including hearts. Similar to 'Snow Much Fun', I love pulling this one out every year.

OPI 'Kiss Me I'm Brazilian' is a medium pink creme. This is another favourite of mine, and one of my go to pinks. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Nails Inc 'Carriage Drive' is a bright sky blue creme. I think I used this as a base for a cloud mani a while back. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Sweet Heart Polish 'Disneyland or Bust' is a clear-based glitter topper with various sized bright coloured hex glitters, smaller microglitters, and black Mickey Mouse shaped glitters. I'm not entirely sure why I wore this over a black base, as it would hide the Mickey glitters! Below is one coat with topcoat over black.

China Glaze 'Senora Flora' is a peachy pink creme. I didn't think this shade would suit me, but I quite like it actually! Below is three coats without topcoat to show it's naturally matte finish.

Tada! With a total of 21 polishes, this is most likely one of the longest blog posts I've ever published. If you're still here reading, well done! I'm due a nail art catch up soon, and then hopefully I'll keep a bit more up to date and avoid giant posts like this one.

Hope to see you in the next post!
