Nocti - Pocket Change N27

Pale gold shimmer

Oh blimey, I really fell off the blogging wagon, not sure what happened but I'm back now!

I picked this Nocti up from ebay, back when any brand I'd not heard of would catch my eye.  I don't know much about them other than they're made by Art of Beauty (who make Zoya polishes) and they're old, maybe from 2007?

Pocket Change is a soft, pale, slightly pink toned gold shimmer

Swatches shown are 3 coats, it's a shimmer verging on frost and is pretty brushstrokey.

Also as with all yellow toned colours not hugely flattering with my skintone.

China Glaze - IDK

Pale purple holographic  

Back in early 2008 China Glaze launched the OMG collection of 12 holographic polishes, 6 warm and 6 cool toned.  I just have two from the cool toned collection.

IDK is a lilac/purple linear holographic.  Not very exciting when viewed in indirect light, comes alive in sunlight.

Swatches are 3 coats, no top coat.  As you can see from the swatches these dry with a muted finish.

The holo in this is very fine and linear, unlike the Kaleidoscope collection which was scattered, larger format holos.

Unfortunately these collections are discontinued and not easy to find but I'm sure there are duplicates available in other ranges.
