Today I have some random swatches that are just sitting in my unposted folder. So lets get right to it!
First up I have Models Own Pinky Brown. I have to admit, this is one of the better pictures I have ever taken of my nails. I'm still working against the lovely England weather with hardly no sun, so I don't think they ever come out that great in the indoor lighting. But for this one I managed to actually even get the color shift to show up! This is 2 coats.
Next up I have for you Butter London Artful Dodger. Since I am admitting things, I have to say with all the hype I heard about this brand before I owned any, I"m not that impressed with it. It's good polish, I just don't really see anything special about it, especially not enough to justify the more expensive price tag. I have 2, and those will probably be the only 2 I ever have. I do like this blue, its a great shade. This is 3 coats.
Next up, another brand that I heard a lot of hype over that didn't live up to it, Rescue Beauty Lounge. I have Aqua Lily, a beautiful color, but again the formula didn't live up to the hype for the price. I have 2 of these as well and will probably not buy any more of these either. I do love the color, this is 3 coats.
To end on a happier note, I have Hits Hera. Hits were my first ever holos, and I love them just as much now as I did when I first saw them. They started my love affair with all things holo! This is 2 coats of Hera, actually taken in the sun this past summer!
Kind of a bummer post today, what with 2 brands I was disappointed in, but you can't like everything! The colors are still great, and the formulas aren't bad, just not as impressive as they are made to seem. Or at least as impressive as it seemed to me they should be from the glowing praise I read before getting them.

Integrate RS341 & nail mail!
Today I have the new Japanese polish I posted about in my last nail mail post. I know nothing about this brand, but I really like this polish. The brush was good and so was the formula. I used 2 coats here, but could have almost left it at one. It is a really pretty rose shimmery color. The shimmer was a little bit more apparent in real life, with no sun I couldn't get it to show up on camera very well. Also, Seche Vite does not like this color, there was shrinkage that you can see. Overall, this is a great polish, and thanks again to S for getting it for me!!
Now for the nail mail! I am so excited that these finally got here, they are even more amazing in person. I have here Rescue Beauty Lounge Aqua Lily and Halcyon from their Fan Collection. $20 a bottle is pretty steep, but I am glad I decided to splurge on these 2, I love them already! I had to take close up shots to show off the shimmer in the bottle, its amazing.
