Famous Starry Night

Hi everybody, hope you've all had a good day!

Today I have my second Famous by Sue Moxley nail polish. I bought this the other day because I'm a sucker for dark sparkly things!

Starry Night is a charcoal grey glass fleck polish that leans slightly blue in bright sunlight.

The formula on this polish was... AMAZING! It was so smooth and pigmented that there was no way it would need more than one coat. It applied itself and I wish all polishes were like this!!!

All of the photos below show one coat of Starry Night with no top coat. If I was going to wear this for longer I would have used top coat for protection, but this polish is so shiny it doesn't really need it!

Natural light - Look how shiny it is!
See how the polish leans blue in the sunlight?

I know this polish isn't very spring like, but every now and then I like to mix it up and not wear pastel cremes! 

If you like the look of Starry Night, you can find it in Superdrug for £4.50.

Famous Purple Dazzle

Greetings from the Netherlands!

Today I have the first polish from my most recent haul. I had never seen or heard of Famous by Sue Moxley when I saw it in Superdrug so I had to buy a couple of things just to see if I liked it, and I do! I understand the brand has been around for a few years in selected stores but I guess those stores where never anywhere near me!

This is called Purple Dazzle and it's a dark purple glass fleck polish with a slight duochrome. I say slight because I didn't notice it until I started taking photos! The colour shift goes from purple to gold and it's really pretty in a subtle way.

I had so many problems trying to get a colour accurate photo of this! It kept photographing as blue, even though it's definitely 100% purple. In the end I fiddled about with my white balance, so if my skin looks a bit off colour then it means the colour of the polish is right! 

In the photos below I'm wearing two coats of Purple Dazzle with a coat of Seche Vite. Click "Read More" to see the rest of my photos.
