Lest we forget ......

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; 
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 
At the going down of the sun and in the morning 
We will remember them."

Grace-full Nail Polish - The Fireside Collection


Tonight I am releasing The Fireside collection. There are 8 polishes in total 6 have an ultra fine holographic glitter that removes easily for a glitter and  adds a refined but fabulous sparkle, they are all also gorgeous squishy jellies. Two have flakies and give a shimmer effect. The colour palette is full of the rich gorgeous colours of Autumn. Swatches shown are by me, @strawbrie and @babsnails. One of my favourite things about this collection is that just about all of the polishes are opaque in two coats but if you add the third you get a darker rich colour. You can see in the swatches that Strawbrie is in the sun and has used 2 coats where I and Bab's Nails are under artificial lights with an extra coat at times.


This collection will be released tonight at 7pm at Grace-full Nail Polish store.


ok let's start on the polishes!!


Aubergine Embers – This has my heart, it’s a shimmer in a deep aubergine with brown/pink and violet flakies. 






Sienna Flame – a burnt orange jelly with copper, red, gold and light red ultra fine holographic glitters




Plum Cinders – a deep plum jelly with ultra fine fuchsia and gold holographic glitter







Dark Cherry Inferno – a mid-deep red with tiny holographic glitter that almost has a scattered holo effect 







Around the Hearth – a brown jelly with copper and light red ultra fine holographic glitters- 3 coats preferred




Crimson Fire – a bright red polish with metallic looking red flakies





Autumn Sparks it has a black jelly base that looks brown in some lights with red, orange, copper and gold holo ultra fine glitter 








Fireside Wine – an ox blood red with copper and red ultra fine holographic glitter

Peacock Collection and Dreamy Beach Cremes Water Marbling



I think I may be a little addicted to water marbling now :) I used from the Peacock collection - Shed a Tear on my index nail, all cremes in the marble on my middle nail, Amazin' on my ring nail and Eye Poppin' on my pinkie



another play with water marbling and was finally getting the hang of it by the last two nails, my ring and pinkie. Thanks to @ma_tom for the tips. I've used Emma, Jacinta, Brooke and Maddison. My lighting is a bit off and I need some new bulbs so forgive the wonky colours.
