OPI "Can't Let Go" Swatch

Hey everyone!

Hope you're all having a wonderful Bank Holiday Monday and enjoy the time off if you get it!

Today I'm taking it back to basics and showing you a quick swatch of a polish I bought some time in the past few months (I've kinda lost track...oops!). Also just a quick reminder that you can click any of the pics to view a larger version of the image if you wanna see those close-up glitter granules!





So these two pics above are the only two that came out okay using only-daylight. You have Manchester's beautiful weather to thank for that!
As you can see though, "Can't Let Go" by OPI is one of their textured glitter (Liquid Sand) polishes, and this one is a beautiful dark lilac shade. I guess you could argue that it's leaning towards the violet end of the purples! It's from their Mariah Carey collection way back in Spring 2013 but definitely not outdated :)


With the flash on, you can see more of what I see on my nails right now, and that is texture and glitter! There's also a slight blue tinge to the polish which comes through every now and again, though is honestly more visible in the bottle. 


There are some larger hexagonal pieces of glitter in the polish alongside the typical micro 'sand' glitter pieces and together they truly make a beautiful nail look. The colour is also perfect for Spring!



However, I am generally a huuuuge fan of OPI's liquid sand polishes and for me you just can't go wrong with them. They just always seem to last wonderfully on my nails and I love the effect and subtle, yet in-your-face, sparkles you get from them. If only it was sunny! 
But, if you aren't a fan of textured looks or glitter, this polish won't be for you.


In conclusion then... This is a polish that I just Can't Let Go of ;) 

What are your thoughts on OPI's liquid sands?

Insta'd... Shopping!

Hey everyone! So whilst exams are underway, I'm gonna be posting some random updates showing my recent instagram pics and writing some text-only posts. Today I'm grouping up my last week-or-so's shopping items! First of all, I ordered some pretty little MoYou London  stamping plates and an XL stamper... And I'm loving them all. You'll hear loads more about these post-exams!

Wiki'd Nails: Tesla

Hey everyone! Today's "Wiki'd Nails" Challenge subject is "Tesla"... of the Nikola Tesla variety. I must say, I recognised the name when I first read it but wasn't sure what he did. Apparently he's best known for the AC system in electricity, which sparked a few ideas to transfer onto nails. My first plan was going to be some lightning strike nails, but then I remembered about a new stamping plate I got...

Happy New Year! (Have a quick update~)

Happy New Year! I hope all of you had a lovely 2014, and have an even better 2015!
