Today's post is really special to me as I've had to keep it a secret since early summer. But it's finally being launched today and time to share with you that I've been chosen as one of the bloggers for Dazzle Dry's Winter 2013 Collaboration project. I also have swatches of the other polishes in the collection and which blogger created which shade.<br />
<br />
<u>About the polish:</u><br />
When I was first approached by Dazzle Dry, I was really flattered to be chosen as one of the 5 bloggers to create a shade. It didn't take me long to decide on an electric blue as it's obviously one of my favourite colours.<br />
However, I wanted to add a little extra something to it and it wasn't until my husband showed me some galaxy pictures which he obsesses over in his free time that I saw some amazing colour combos and it struck me! I wanted a vivid blue with small particles of pink shimmer swirling across the entire nail.<br />

<br />
The majority of these polish dry slightly matte because of Dazzle's Dry's super quick dry and Vegan formulas but the colours really come alive with a topcoat!<br />

From bottle shots, this red toned purple shimmer seemed to be the one I would like the least from the Selena Gomez collection. However, I really like the way it's so vivid in person which adds a bit of warmth to this autumnal weather.<br />

I loved everything about this polish from the word go! If you haven't heard of the brand "Cheeky" before, you have most probably heard of Cowshed!<br />
<br />
<i>"Introducing Cowshed's naughty little sister, Cheeky: the new brand promising to re-write the beauty rules!"</i><br />
<br />
During October, Cheeky is launching a collection of 21 nail paints, 14 body care freshly scented products, hair care, cosmetics and opening a new parlour in Shoreditch which will cater to all things nails and hair. Apparently, if you go in for a 20 minute file and paint, they will offer you a bottle of Chat Me Up Nail Paint worth £7 to take home with you.<i> </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Here is a swatch of Moss Behaving, a dark forest green. The formula on this was perfection, I can't fault anything about it! Completely opaque in one coat although I used two just because I always have to use at least two coats of polish when doing my nails. If you like green polish, this one is for you!<br />

This morning, I remembered that I still had some topper polishes to swatch and one of them would go brilliantly over dark green. I added a coat of <b>Polished by KPT - Green Awakening</b>, a shifting topcoat that shows copper, gold,
green and the tiniest hint of teal. Also looks beautiful swatched over black.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We've had strong gusts of wind and it's been raining all day! It gets dark really early as well which I hate! So I chose this shade to wear over the weekend! Wouldn't want to be all bright and perky now would we?!<br />
<br />
This is two coats of 2true Fast Dry Colour Quick Shade 12. A greige creme which is actually more true to colour in the second picture, with a hint of brown undertones, my lighting was a bit off.<br />
<br />
The formula on this polish wasn't as good as the last 2true polish I showed you <a href="http://nailstoriesuk.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/autumnal-colours-2true-glossywear-shade.html">here</a> a couple of weeks ago. It becomes goopy very fast and doesn't apply as well. It's supposed to be a fast dry polish but that wasn't really the case.<br />

Today is one of those days for me and the colour I always go to for a clean and crisp mani is of course white!<br />
<br />
I rarely wear white polish on it's own anymore because for some reason, I always end up using it as a base for nail art or stamping but I do love the look of a good opaque and streak free white.<br />
<br />
This is 2 coats of <b>Sally Hansen White On</b> topped with a coat of <b>China Glaze Fairy Dust</b> for some pretty and understated sparkle. I wish I could sprinkle Fairy Dust over everything!<br />

That's how I feel about <a href="http://www.2true.com/nails/glossywear-nail-polish/">2true</a> Glossywear Shade No. 54, such a perfect Autumn shade with no name!<br />
<br />
It's a really pretty deep sapphire blue shade with great opacity (2 coats here). The bottle says "up to 5 day wear" which is very true as it's the fifth day I've been wearing it and there's only minor tip wear on my right thumb. I'm really impressed with this polish - no fuss to apply and it's only £1.99 from <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/search?q=2true&perpage=24&sort=relevance&order=asc&type=nailpolish">Superdrug</a>.<br />

<br />
Always on the quest to find the perfect skincare routine, and now being pregnant too, I started using Aubrey Organics 3 Step Skincare System 3 months ago. Up until now, I've always used quite harsh products like Clearasil on my blemished skin but to be honest they didn't make my skin any better and still broke me out.<br />
<br />
I searched the Internet for all natural, organic and cruelty free products but a lot of products which claim to be "natural" are actually packed with chemicals and toxic ingredients which I can't even pronounce. The ones that weren't, cost an arm and a leg which to be honest I wasn't willing to pay after having spent a small fortune on expensive skincare products that I ended up not using.<br />
<br />
That's when I came across Aubrey Organics products on Amazon. I noticed that they also had a website and sold in the UK. I chose to go for their older line of products that come in these not-so-fancy bottles. If you go on their website now, it seems that they have re-formulated some of their skincare range as well as packaging.<br />
<br />
Here is what I got:<br />

<br />
Blue Green Algae Range (Combination/ Oily Skin):<br />
<ul>
<li><u>Facial Cleansing Lotion (118ml)</u> - This is the first time using a face wash that doesn't strip all the oils and over dry my skin. Having had oily skin all my life, I used to think that only if my skin was "pulling" would it be squeaky clean. Now that's not the case as all I was doing was striping all it's natural oils which would make it produce even more oil. This product doesn't really wash off all your make up because it's so mild so you'd still need to use an alcohol free wipe prior to cleansing with this. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><u>Facial Toner (237ml)</u> - I can't get over how gentle this toner is on my skin. Maybe that's because the toner I used before was so harsh that it would actually burn my skin a little whilst I was applying it. This toner makes my face feel so refreshed and silky. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><u>Moisturising Cream (118ml)</u> - I was really impressed by the size of this bottle. I usually pay £9.15 for a pot of 30ml drugstore moisturiser and this is a 118ml bottle. It's going to last me way after the cleanser and toner have finished. The first time I used it, I was a bit taken aback by how rich and creamy it is considering it's a moisturiser for combination to oily skin and also by the very strong and overpowering scent, which I still can't get used to. However, I try to remember that it's made with natural oils (jojoba, Shea butter, evening primrose oil, soybean oil, etc), thus the rich and creamy feeling and the strong smell is quite natural and flowery, not "chemically".To my surprise, my oily skin skin seems to soak it right up. It just took me a while getting used to not having completely dry and matte skin like I've been used to for years. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><u>Soothing Mask (118ml)</u> - I really like this mask although it's not the best clay mask I've tried. It's creamy and feels slightly self warming when applied to the face, it doesn't dry on like your usual clay masks. I leave it on for about 15 minutes and when I rinse it off, my skin feels clean and hydrated but in a dewy way. I haven't had any breakouts at all since I started using this mask but I guess the other products in the range may be helping with that too.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><u>Lip Balm</u> - They send you a free lip balm when you spend £30. I love this lip balm although I have a drawer full of them. As this one is made from all natural products, it's the only one I would wear overnight, plus it contains no SPF so it's probably more suited for overnight anyway. I wake up with supple and moisturised lips in the morning.</li>
</ul>
The cleanser and toner are nearly finished and although I would gladly re-purchase the majority of these products, I tend to get quite bored if I keep to the same skincare routine for a long period of time. So I've already been eyeing up a few more products I'd like to incorporate into my skincare routine.<br />
<br />
What is your skincare routine? Do you change every so often or do you like to stick to the same products for a very long time?<br />

I used <b>Nicole by OPI - Selena</b> from the Spring 2013 Selena Gomez collection as a base. It's a very pretty peachy pink, exactly the type of colour I'd go for. The only thing letting this polish down is the formula. I found it to be very streaky and I needed 3 coats to cover up patches, I don't know if that was just my bottle. <br />
<br />
The bow is made up of black and silver loose pieces of hex glitter and for the polka dots I used Barry M Black and a doting tool.<br />

It's been raining on and off all this week and apparently we are having the first storm of Autumn today. I've had to bring out the wellies, the umbrella and the rain coats already!<br />
<br />
Needless to say, I was in no mood for bright or pastel colours on my nails this week so I dug out this perfect transitional colour which isn't extremely dark but is dark enough to suit this weather.<br />
<br />
This is 2 coats of <b>Nubar Hieroglyphys Purple</b>, a bright berry purple colour. It looks slightly brighter in the second picture as I was having trouble with my lighting! These kind of purples are quite elegant in my opinion, I'm loving this polish. What do you think of it?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A thermal and a bright neon glow polish. Let's get right into the swatches!<br />
<br />
<b>Plumeria</b> is a pink holographic thermal. It shifts from a very light baby pink, almost a clear silvery colour when warm, to a bright berry pink when cold. You can see how it transitions in the photos below. This is 3 coats on it's own.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed3yrlOYPjk/Ui4Uk5-vTjI/AAAAAAAADu4/aoUlAg1xIHQ/s1600/KPT_Plumeria2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed3yrlOYPjk/Ui4Uk5-vTjI/AAAAAAAADu4/aoUlAg1xIHQ/s1600/KPT_Plumeria2.jpg" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<b>Fluorescein</b> is a neon green jelly packed with scattered holo that glows under UV light. It's a little on the sheer side, the pictures are 2 coats and there is still vnl. You would probably need 3 coats or to wear undies for full coverage.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I hadn't worn it for so long and it's such a pretty saturated sky blue.<br />
<br />
The blue lover in me couldn't neglect Shimmer Polish Maria which was still sitting in my untrieds stash but because I didn't want my whole mani to be too glittery, I opted for an accent nail of Maria with some silver studs. Maria is definitely for blue lovers as it's packed with blue glitters of all different shapes and sizes.<br />
I haven't worn anything that even remotely resembles nail art in the past few weeks as the smell of polish still bothers me a lot if I spend too long around it, so one tiny accent nail is perfect right now.<br />

<br />
Can you believe it's 1st September already? Summer is almost over although I am told that we are to expect a few more days of heat over here. Holding onto high temperatures as much as I can although I'm excited that Autumn is just around the corner.<br />
<br />
Today I have another piCture pOlish collaboration shade to show you - <b>Shocked</b>. This vibrant pink jelly with scattered holographic particles was in collaboration with <a href="http://shattermeclaire.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/picture-polish-shocked.html">Shatter me Claire</a>. Due to it's jelly nature, you will need 3 coats for full coverage but the formula is flawless as we've come to expect from piCture pOlish.<br />
<br />
Oh yes! And as you have most probably noticed, I filed my nails back to squares. Although I like ovals/ almond shape, they're just not me. I think squares suit me much more.<br />

It's called Color Therapy and it's a mix of neon pink, coral and green square and hex glitters. The clear base is also packed with scattered holographic pigments and the glitters glow under UV and black lights which makes it all the more fun.<br />
<br />
At first I tried it over a white base on a nail wheel but fell in love with this colour combo the most. The blue base is Miss Sporty Pop Fiction.<br />

I still have a few left to try out and some of the darker glitters I have coming up will be perfect for Fall.<br />
<br />
Today I'm wearing "Karen". A purple and pink glitter bomb with some additional scattered orange, blue and silver glitter. I layered one coat of Karen over La Femme Angel which is a vivid pink with purple undertones and compliments the colours in the Shimmer Polish nicely.<br />
<br />
Shimmer Polish are very dense glitters and can be worn on their own if you apply 2/3 coats.<br />

It's suitably named Marine and it's a rich pigmented teal creme which applies easily in two coats.<br />
Colour like these usually stain my nails really badly but I had no problems with this one. I'll probably wear this polish a few times in the next few months as it's a perfect transitional colour from Summer to Autumn.<br />

This pink is so bright and vibrant that I had to wear it before the summer here ends.<br />
<br />
Glow the Blues Away is a super saturated pink jelly packed with scattered holo glitter. It glows in the dark too but I don't have one of those black UV lights to show you. This is two coats but I would recommend three for complete opacity. Definitely one of my summer favourites!<br />

She is super talented, her manis always inspire me and her photography skills are amazing. The polish I am showing you today is one of the collaboration shades and as per Camille's blog, it's called Pshiiit.<br />
<br />
This is 2 coats of<b> pshiiit</b>. No topcoat. As it's a little on the sheer side, I will probably go for 3 coats next time. The bottle colour transfers onto my nails pretty accurately. It pulls more towards green although that blue jelly base is still visible, making it a nice teal duochrome. There are also some blue/ green flakies in there although I wish there were more of them because they're so hard to capture.<br />

If you visit her <a href="http://polishedbykpt.bigcartel.com/">shop</a>, you'll see an extensive line of bright and dark thermals, funky glitters and toppers as well as holo and neon/ glow polishes.<br />
<br />
Today I'm showing you two thermals - Kelvin Bleu and Hot Like Wasabi. All Polished by KPT polishes are 3 free (no toluene, no formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate) and cruelty free.<br />
<br />
Kelvin Bleu is a medium periwinkle blue when "cold". Capturing the transition in this one was easier than the others. My hands were really hot when I applied it, thus the very pale shade of blue...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XjL6KJlYxlw/UgOSXriwmTI/AAAAAAAADpg/twHRMkjsc2A/s1600/KPT_KelvinBleu1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XjL6KJlYxlw/UgOSXriwmTI/AAAAAAAADpg/twHRMkjsc2A/s1600/KPT_KelvinBleu1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
...but as soon as I dipped my hands in ice cold water, the blue transition became much more evident and darker. In the winter it would permanently look like this as my hands are always cold.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MIGhCVC2Hwo/UgOSfzx0uVI/AAAAAAAADpo/BtE9iAnIl7Q/s1600/KPT_KelvinBleu2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MIGhCVC2Hwo/UgOSfzx0uVI/AAAAAAAADpo/BtE9iAnIl7Q/s1600/KPT_KelvinBleu2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
The transition for "Hot Like Wasabi" was much more difficult to capture. Maybe it was because I swatched these when the weather was really, really hot here and by the time I removed my hands from cold water, they were instantly hot again.<br />
<br />
Hot Like Wasabi is is a yellow/ green scattered holo thermal polish. I didn't layer this one over white which I think would have made it slightly paler. The first picture is what it would look like "hot" and I just about managed to capture the tips transitioning to a brighter green in the second picture. <br />

Well, today I have another Jacava polish to show you. It's called <b>Blueberry</b> Muffin (love that name) and it's a lilac creme. As with all the Jacava polishes I've tried so far, the formula was amazingly opaque and easy to work with. Jacava is quite pricey but their formulas and consistency won't let you down.<br />
<br />
As I've mentioned before, all Jacava polishes are '8 free' (free from DBP, Camphor, Formaldehyde, Toluene,
Collophane, Parabens, Phthalates and Animal Ingredients) and of course
they are also Cruelty Free. <br />
<br />
Oh... and you may be wondering about my nails!!! Yes, for the first time in nearly 3 years, I have rounded them off. I am currently letting them grow almond shaped but because they were super square, I had to file down quite a lot to start rounding the edges in. That is why the tips are still slightly squared off but hopefully they won't take too long to grow!<br />
<br />

I then added a coat of Essie Shine Of The Times and some square gold studs from the Born Pretty Store.<br />

I'm going off on holiday tomorrow and I'm super excited! Although it's been really warm in London recently, I really need a holiday in a place with some sea and sand.<br />
<br />
Before I go, I will leave you with one of my favourite<b> piCture pOlish</b> lacquers - <b>Candy</b>! This colour really surprised me because it just looked like a standard barbie pink in the bottle but once I put it on my nails, it really popped. Some pinks really don't go well with my skin tone but I absolutely adore how this one looks on me. It makes my hands look really tan too, or it may have just been the lighting that day!<br />
<br />
This is 2 coats of Candy with some nude leopard on the accent nail:<br />

<br />
Today I'm reviewing a little bit of each collection. First up, the metallics. Although I'm not a massive fan of metallic polishes, the good thing about these is that they are completely opaque in one coat. I couldn't imagine having to apply two or more coats of a metallic polish.<br />
<br />
Aphrodite - a medium rose pink - 1 coat<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W9gqcDkU2OE/Ud7KgE2WGSI/AAAAAAAADm0/um2esnCZiUo/s1600/2True_Aphrodite.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W9gqcDkU2OE/Ud7KgE2WGSI/AAAAAAAADm0/um2esnCZiUo/s1600/2True_Aphrodite.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Arete - a light lime green - 1 coat<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qjbgK38x7E8/Ud7LCJIs6DI/AAAAAAAADm8/D7HE-BW4sPs/s1600/2True_Arete.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qjbgK38x7E8/Ud7LCJIs6DI/AAAAAAAADm8/D7HE-BW4sPs/s1600/2True_Arete.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Athena and Noir beads - a dusty blue and black beads - 1 coat<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ta62YctpYr8/Ud7LSPXs7LI/AAAAAAAADnE/Cs2CKlYWgyc/s1600/2True_Athena.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ta62YctpYr8/Ud7LSPXs7LI/AAAAAAAADnE/Cs2CKlYWgyc/s1600/2True_Athena.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
If you read my blog, you will know that I was never into the caviar/ bead/ sprinkles (whatever you want to call them) craze. It was just one of those trends that I didn't get and didn't appeal to me, plus I even had some trouble applying them. They aren't durable and would annoy me every time one fell. I know you can put a top coat over them but I think that makes them look lumpier and they end up falling off anyway! Great look for a nail photo shoot though!<br />
<br />
Next up is a polish from the "Classic" collection - Mila. I have to say that this is my favourite of the bunch! I love this shade of orange as all my other oranges have too much red in them. This one actually looks quite coral'ish in person. It applies beautifully in 2 smooth coats.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H-CSe5w9iXs/Ud7MrjzIPfI/AAAAAAAADnU/LeFGUEoTfAU/s1600/2True_Mila.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H-CSe5w9iXs/Ud7MrjzIPfI/AAAAAAAADnU/LeFGUEoTfAU/s1600/2True_Mila.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
2true polishes are available now exclusively at Superdrug stores nationwide. They cost £4 each and the beads cost £3.<br />

This one was created by piCture pOlish as a dedication to all bloggers and it's basically a glitter bomb packed with multi coloured glitter in different sizes. A glitter rainbow in a bottle!<br />
<br />
You can wear this on it's own with 2-3 coats because the glitter is so dense or you can layer it. I created a glitter gradient over Elf Desert Haze. Next time I will try layering a whole coat of Blogger over white polish, I think that would look really pretty too. <br />

Well, for me, one of those polishes is Revlon Royal! Predominantly what would be considered a Fall colour, for me it's just one of those colours that I would even wear to the beach (if I lived anywhere the beach)! That may be because it's a polish that we can't get in the UK but even if we could, I think I'd love it all the same!<br />
<br />
I love Revlon Royal on it's own but how fantastic does it look with a coat of Max Factor Fantasy Fire? It's a match made in polish heaven!<br />

We finally have some sun in the UK, warm enough for me to actually wear dresses and sandals! Oh the little things!!!<br />
<br />
Today I have somewhat of a random mani to show you. I say random because when I started, I really wasn't sure where I was going with it but it turned into some sort of pastel sponging affair.<br />
<br />
I used 3 <a href="http://dazzledry.co.uk/">Dazzle Dry</a> polishes, all from their Spring 2013 Afternoon Tea collection (Petit Four, Strawberry Maracon and Spearmint Tea). I have already reviewed Petit Four and their Quick Dry Nail System <a href="http://nailstoriesuk.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/dazzle-dry-quick-dry-nail-system-review.html">here</a> if you want to read up on that. They do the most amazing quick dry top coat!<br />
I topped everything off with a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust which I would layer pretty much over anything if I could!<br />
