A Certain Becca Nails: Swatch Catch Up

Hi! When sitting down to do my swatch and nail art catch ups for May, I realised I never posted them for April! I have all of the photographs and everything ready and organised, but never ended up writing the actual post. So before I dive into May's swatches, I'm here to catch up with April's. Let's jump straight into it!

Swatch Catch Up - April 2022 @acertainbeccaa

Models Own 'Magpie' is a green crelly base with black glitters. I love speckled polishes around Easter time, and the Models Own collection is one of my all time favourites. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Here it is with matte topcoat. Doesn't it look like a mini egg?!

Hollie Mixture 'Sugilite' is a bold purple foil. I can't look at this without thinking of Easter egg foil. Below is two coats with topcoat.

Hollie Mixture 'Pink Lemonade' is a pink base with contrasting mint green microflakes. This is actually part of a collaboration duo with my brand A Certain Becca Lacquer, to match a Pink Lemonade scented cuticle oil - you can find the duo here. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Femme Fatale 'Cactaceae' is a light green crelly with various white glitters. This was my first taste of the brand, and I liked it! It's such a unique crelly to my collection. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Danglefoot Nail Polish 'Higitis Figitus' is a black linear holographic. This is quite an old Danglefoot, but I wanted to pull it out and give it some love as it's been years since I wore it last. Below is two coats with topcoat.

Cure Nails 'Happiness is Just a Teardrop Away!' is a soft shimmery lilac. This was from the Shrek themed UK Indie Box back in February. I was fully expecting to need three coats for this, but it surprised me. Below is two coats with topcoat.

China Glaze 'There She Rose Again' is a pink jelly. As it is sheer, it does leave a fairly visible nail line, but it does build up evenly. Below is three coats with topcoat.

KBShimmer 'Blinded By The Bright' is a yellow crelly with multicoloured glitters in various shapes and sizes. This is another older polish thats been in my collection for years. The formula isn't quite what it once was, so I did need a fourth coat to ensure it was fully evened out. Below is four coats with topcoat.

Barry M 'Blue Margarita' is a bright saturated blue creme. This one is a super punchy, in-your-face, bold polish. Below is three coats with topcoat.

There we go! What do you think of the polishes I wore throughout April? I think there's quite a good mix of colours and finishes. I'll be back soon with my April nail art, and then with both swatches and nail art for May.

Hope to see you in the next post!
