Powder Perfect present an Indie Extravaganza Volume 2


The second volume of the Indie Extravaganza is releasing this morning the 8th November. The brain child of Jacinta from Powder Perfect this extravaganza will include fifteen polishes in total from Australian Indie brands. Each volume will include five brands with a polish created as their 'signature' polish. This is the second Volume.

This second volume will be on sale on at Powder Perfect website. Each volume of 5 polishes is RRP $50 plus shipping as normal - This Volume will be limited to 20 sets released to the public



The first polish is from Shades of Phoenix and is Triton. I adore the colour of this crelly as it's a gorgeous bright blue - a little bit duller than photos show but still a gorgeous colour. There are blue and white glitter in hexes and triangles. It applied perfectly and I am wearing three thin coats with top coat.




The second offering is from one of my favourites Hollish Nails and is Office Party. This subtle glitter crelly is a grey crelly with just the right amount of bright coloured glitter. I am wearing three thin coats with top coat and the formula was great.




Number three is from Peita's Polish and is named Flying Trapeze. It has a hot pink jelly base with small bright pieces of glitter throughout. It has a shimmer running through out. I am wearing three coats with top coat and I had no problems with the formula.




Number 4 is my favourite - this polish makes my heart sing. From Two Birds Lacquer this is Popcorn. I adore this colour it's so pretty and looks great with my skin tone. To me I love the amount of green that is in the yellow, it's just perfect for summer. In the crelly base is teeny black micro and some larger white hexes. It applied like a breeze and I know I will get a lot of wear from this one.




Last but definitely not least is PrettyPots Polish - Secrets of Her Majesty. I am terribly sorry I didn't get any sun shine shots but the weather and my health have been against me. From the way the holo shows inside I'm sure it's just incredible outside. It's a pretty purple a tad darker than my photos came out. Application was simple with two coats and top coat.

Shades of Phoenix - Riddikulus



I adore everything Harry Potter and love the brand Shades of Phoenix so when Teneil released that she was doing a magic collection I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. All of them are unbelievably gorgeous, but today I have Riddikulus to show you. Teneil describes it as a black and deep purple base polish with plum purple square glitters, purple flakes and micro holographic silver glitters. I don't think I could give a better description. Unfortunately it is camera shy and while it still looks gorgeous in these photos it is 100 times prettier in real life. The light catches the glitters and the purple shows through more strongly. I have used 2 coats here over Chanel Taboo, I didn't use my fabulous Chanel just as undies I had been wearing it a few days first :)

Thanks goodness for Saturdays and the lack of running around, I hope you enjoy yours Tx

Poseidon - Shades of Phoenix


Poseidon is another awesome polish from the new Indie brand Shades of Phoenix. This polish is just so beautiful and even better in real life. It's one of those polishes where you just can't stop looking at your nails. I know already this will be one of my most used polishes. 

I applied just one coat of Poseidon over two coats China Glaze four leaf clover and I was in heaven. This polish has so much depth! I'm usually not a fan of bar glitters but they do suit this polish and are covered nicely by the gorgeous green. As with Zeus this was a dream to apply! There was no fishing for glitter and it covered nicely with just the one coat.

Photo overkill below but I just can't get enough of this polish!

Poseidon retails at $9.00 and can be purchased at their etsy shop Shades of Phoenix

Shades of Phoenix - Zeus


This stunning glitter is from the amazing new Australian Indie Shades of Phoenix

Released just last Saturday this is definitely a brand to watch. This glitter is called Zeus and has awesome matte white hex glitter which I love in a polish, gorgeous iridescent purple and it is full of silver sparkle. It was a dream to apply, with me only to have to work two of the larger hexes into place with the brush. Here it is applied over Opi My Boyfriends Scales Walls, and I used two coats of Zeus over my index and ring fingers. The dots on the pointer and pinkie are Essie She's Picture Perfect, Essie Nothing Else Metals and Essie Lilacism.

Here two coats of Zeus were applied over Nubar Lavender. This photo clearly shows the awesome glitter that makes Zeus unique to anything else I have in my stash.
