Sheswai - Dig It

Today I'd like to show you a new polish I have from Sheswai Lacquer called Dig It. It's a lovely mid-tone grassy green that totally coincides with the "modern glamour with a rootsy feel" mantra of Sheswai. This is wonderfully pigmented and super shiny. This is two coats.

I will always love Sheswai polishes first for their beautiful bottles, the wooden cap is just a showstopper. The quality of their polish is also always top shelf. You can purchase Sheswai Lacquers like this one on their website http://www.sheswaibeauty.com/ for $16 each. What do you think of this beautiful fresh creme?

Picture Polish - Demeter

Today I have a beautiful Picture Polish shade that they made in collaboration with Katie from Harlow & Co, an online store for nail polish based in Canada that ships internationally. Katie wanted to make a chocolate brown holographic shade and PP delivered with this luxe earthy scattered holo beauty that she named Demeter. This is two coats.

I forget how much I adore brown polishes. I have a lot of them I just don't get around to wearing that often, but I need to make sure I do. This polish has an excellent formula, very buttery on application and nicely opaque. You can buy Demeter online at Picture Polish's Australian website for AUS $10 or on Harlow & Co for $14.50.

Coral and Golden Sand

This mani was inspired by a fellow blogger, HeartNat. It is Essie Come Here from their 2013 resort collection with an accent of OPI Honey Ryder from the new Bond Girl collection on my ring finger. The gorgeous bright coral of Come Here is incredibly hot and I think it's perfect for sunny weather. I used two coats of the gorgeous creme. Honey Ryder has a liquid sand finish and is a sparkling mid-tone gold that is blingy and gritty in an awesome kind of way. Two coats as well.

The combination of gold and coral and the juxtaposition of the smooth and gritty textures is exciting and quite pleasing to my eye. I picked up the Essie at my local CVS for about $8 and the OPI was provided for my consideration, but I believe you can pick it up at Ulta and other salon locations for around $9. How do you like this pairing?
