Ninja Polish Divinity

As promised, here are some pictures of Ninja Polish Divinity for you to drool over.  I've grouped them into fours to create the illusion that I'm not totally spamming you with 16 photos...

I used three coats of Divinity (although 2 would have been fine) plus top coat.

Top: lightbox, Bottom: natural light

 Where to begin...  It's beautiful (if you couldn't already tell I think that from all the photos...).  On the first coat it's a very warm purple tone, leaning a little magenta, then when you add the second coat all the other colours become more prominent.

It's mostly orange and purple, but there are tonnes of other colours in there as well.  The orange ranges from a light gold through to a deep burnt orange, and there's lots of green on the edges and a bit of blue thrown in as well.  These were very distracting nails to wear to work...

Top: natural light, Bottom: Artificial light

 As you can see, the difference in different lights is incredible.  I'd forgive you for thinking that I'm having you on and that these are actually different polishes (but I promise you they're not!).

In natural light, Divinity is everything I thought Max Factor Fantasy Fire was going to be (biggest let down ever).  In artificial light, that shimmer is just AMAZING.

Top: artifical light, Bottom Left: natural light, Bottom Right: lightbox

I've included a picture with the flame accent nail, because while I was taking the pictures for that post, this gorgeous turquoisey blue appeared!

So, yeah, my conclusion is that Divinity is pretty darn pretty.  And a multichrome that doesn't need to be layered over black to look amazing, hurrah!

Untried Challenge Day 5: Warm

Right, in with the excuses first.  It's not my fault I'm late posting!  I got home from work yesterday, started cooking my tea, and then my electricity went off.  Until 10:30pm.  Turns out there is VERY little you can do without electricity, so I napped.

Anyway, here's a reminder of the challenge prompts for the Untried Polish Challenge hosted by Jonochi at Just Add Polish.

So today's theme is warm.  I instantly picked out Ninja Polish Divinity from my stash, which I was lucky enough to win in a giveaway at Pointless Cafe.

I'm not going to be too cruel, I'll only make you wait a day before showing you more pictures of Divinity.  It's veeeerrryyy pretty.

Anyhoo, as pretty as the polish is, I don't like to wear plain nails, so I added a flame.  Because, you know, flames are warm.  Unfortunately though, I didn't have any flame coloured polishes in my untried pile.  Enter my delivery from Nails Inc (I got a lucky dip) - they very conveniently provided me with a red, orange and yellow.  These are Draycott Place, Westbourne Grove and Notting Hill Carnival.

Don't forget to take a look at everyone else's toasty manicures!
