I recently reviewed another Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Textured Nail Colour ~ All Yarned Up ~ you can read that review here.

I picked up Tweedy last weekend and thought I would do a few swatches for you AND for Lily at Trick of Fate who really likes all my colour combinations.

3 coats ~ 2 coats ~1 coat

I really like these polishes and think they look best from a distance because you get that fuzzy knitted look. The polish lasts well and I didn't experience any chipping, I did wear top coat on my nails to seal in all the little pointy bits otherwise they catch on your clothing.

All the following swatches are with one coat of Tweedy and sealed with topcoat.

I have been having so much fun with this nail polish this week and I just wanted to share it with you all.  

I recently picked up a bottle of Femme Fatale Shimmering Snowcap Nail Polish.  You can find out more about them here on their website.

Ok, this is my photo with two coats of SS but there are a few better ones here if you would like to take a look, mmm I need practice.  With my attempt I'm thinking less Shimmering Snowcaps more Coconut Ice lol.....

I then decided to fool around with a few different base shades and I was quite happy with the results, what do you think?

Femme Fatale have a gorgeous range of Indie nail polishes and I'm like a kid in a lolly shop when I visit their website, I want one of everything!

Which is your favourite combination?  Let me know what you think and if you have any favourite Femme Fatale Polishes.

Camouflage Colour Nail Lacquer Review

matillysthisnthat.blogspot.com.au

My review of the following three Camouflage Colour Nail Lacquers, (l-r) Red Plum, Metal Green and Purple.

These nail lacquers are "as natural and pure as modern technology allows"  you can find out more about what is or more importantly isn't in these polishes here.

I think the bottles are cute but I don't like the lids, needs a longer handle for easier application.  The brushes are OK but they tend to streak so you need to use a light hand and just use the tips of the brush and then it applies fairly well.

2 coats

1.  Red Plum
2.  Metal Green
3.  Purple

I really like the colours and they are made with all natural food grade dyes.

You really have to shake the bottle well to mix all the ingredients, they tend to separate and become gluggy and thick.   Two thins coats are best if you don't want streaks and they DO take a while to dry, longer than I am used too.

I painted my nails with the Metal Green yesterday and I was really happy with the results.  I applied a base coat and then two coats of the polish.  It did take a long long time to dry and one nail ended up with dents and scratches.  Once it is dry though it is very strong, I went out and trimmed my pony's feet and NO CHIPS, if you want to test a nail polish that's the way to go lol...

No chips

My least favourite colour would have to be the Red Plum it is not a shade I would normally wear but I love to play with polish and I added a top coat of Glitter Gal and I really liked the results.  So below is each shade of Camouflage with a top coat of something else.

1.  Camouflage Red Plum with a coat of Glitter Gal - Belgian Chocolate.

2.  Camouflage Metal Green with a coat of Australis - Speck-takular.

3.  Camouflage Purple with a coat of Glitter Gal - Frappe.

I was a little impatient and smeared the green, it does take a long time to dry and you DO need a light hand.

I wasn't too impressed with Camouflage when I received my first lacquer Red Plum but once I got used to the formula and had a bit of a play around I am quite happy with them now and will probably invest in some more colours.

You can find more Camouflage Nail Lacquers here if you are interested in trying this brand for yourself.

I hope you liked my review and please leave a comment below I would love to hear from you.
