This is one busy Saturday! Right now I have another gorgeous polish to show you - one of the newest piCture pOlish Blogger Collaboration Shades - Sea Jewel, created with the lovely Anutka over at Wacki Laki and it's stunning. Go check out her post for her inspiration and swatches here!

piCture pOlish Sea Jewel

Sea Jewel is a "mesh" shade and it's a green-leaning teal jelly base full of silver glitter. The formula and application on this one is fantastic and I had no issues at all. I used 2 light coats and no top coat for the photos. I also wanted to see what it looked like layered over black, so I did that on the thumb with one coat over a black creme. I'll be wearing this baby alone.

Today I have one of the new piCture pOlish Collaboration Shades to show you - Frosting! Frosting was created by 'Chelle over at Cosmetic Cupcake, along with piCture pOlish and inspired by, what else? Cupcakes! Click here to see 'Chelle's post and swatches.

piCture pOlish Frosting

Here's what piCture pOlish had to say about Frosting: "Frosting is a pastel milky pink crème shade full of silver, magenta and violet glitters plus with a little shake you will find a wonderful surprise – beautiful silver hearts - just magic! And yes these sprinkles really take the cake!"

I used two coats and one generous coat of top coat for the photos. The base on this one is good and the smaller glitters spread nicely on the nail. There are so many hearts that you have to be careful not to get too many or it will look lumpy. But if you scrape most of the hearts off of the brush as you're applying, you shouldn't have any issues. I did layer this over a base of Zoya Gie Gie.

piCture pOlish - Mallard by The PolishAholic

♥

Back at the end of July I was thrilled to be one of the many bloggers worldwide to participate in piCture pOlish's Blogfest 2012. Little did I know then that it would lead to a polish with MY name on it! Turns out that piCture pOlish poured over those blog posts and chose a few bloggers worldwide to create and name their own shade and I was one of the lucky ones along with Jen at The Polish-Aholic!! I've already shown you mine, Focus, so...

Today I have Jen's lovely creation to show you - Mallard! Birds of a feather polish together!

Here's what Jen had to say about Mallard:


Mallard is pretty much the epitome of everything I love in terms of nail polish all put it one bottle.  If you've read my blog before I don't think it's any secret that I love green polish. When I was brainstorming about what I wanted green was my jumping off point. One of my other favorite things in polish is a strong shimmer, I love the depth a good shimmer can give an already beautiful color. Last but not least you all know I love me some flakies so we couldn't not include those...right?

For the name of this polish originally I was going to go with something a little dark that referenced something I love but that not many people would have gotten. When we decided to change the name I was scouring my brain for what this shade reminded me off, I started thinking about my childhood and things I used to do with my Grandparents. I'm really lucky to have grown up down the street from my Grandparents, I pretty much spent every moment of my summers with them until I was in High School. One of the things we always used to do was visit the local park with loaves of bread and feed all the ducks, I always loved it! While I was thinking about that it hit me...the shade of green along with the shimmer reminds me of the green iridescent like feathers that Mallard ducks have on their head! I think the name is pretty fitting!


The application was fantastic and was opaque in two easy coats. No issues to report at all. And I'll let the photos do the talking - just look at the shimmer and flakes! One coat of Poshe for photos. First photos are in artificial light and last two are in indirect natural sunlight.
