Deborah Milano - Purple Batik 15

Pink glass fleck 

This is super pretty, if rather sheer - and it's definitely not purple - who comes up with these names!

Purple Batik is a raspberry glass fleck shimmer.  You can see in the bottle shot there's also some mild holo action going on but I couldn't see that on my nails at all.

Swatches shown are 3 coats with no top coat and it's still a little sheer in the blurry full sun pic.

As you'd expect from the name, Deborah Milano is an Italian brand, I picked this up from a French sale site but the brand has now launched in the UK and the Prêt-à-Porter polishes are currently on offer for just £1!

Essence Colour & Go - Pool Party

Bright blue with silver glass fleck

It's the first day of June and the sun is shining here in the UK so I thought I'd show you a bright summery polish from several years ago

Essence Colour & Go - Pool Party is a bright blue with a good amount of fine silver glass fleck shimmer, this is no hidden shimmer.

This is definitely an oldie but a goodie, I think this range came out in 2009

It is a smidge on the sheer side, my swatches are 3 coats with no top coat and in the direct sunlight pic there is a hint of visible nail line but given the amount of shimmer I'm sure this would work well layered too.

Colour & Go were also a complete bargain, selling for only $1 in the US and less than 2 Euros in Europe.  They do have a slightly insane tagline of '1 second per nail' but I've ignored that for the nonsense it is!

The line still exists but they're now in stumpy, blobby bottles!  I'm not sure if this colour still exists in the current line, if it doesn't it should do!

MUA - Mystical Glitter Nails Jellyfish

Shimmery plum glass fleck finish   

Another of the oddly named Mystical Glitter range from MUA (available from Superdrug in the UK)

To me Jellyfish is a shimmery plum polish with a glass fleck finish, not a trace of glitter!

Swatch shown is 3 coats and I still have pretty visible vnl in the sunlight I just couldn't face doing more coats.

This polish cost me £3 from Superdrug.  The bottles are an odd size, 6.8ml

MUA - Mystical Glitter in Seahorse

Fir green glass fleck  

The oddly named Mystical Glitter Nails, there's no glitter, rather a very pretty glass fleck finish.

Seahorse is a fir green polish with a gold speckled glass flecked finish.

Now onto the bad news, boy is it sheer.  My swatches are 4 coats and I still have vnl.  So next time I will find some suitable undies, this polish is not pretty enough to do 4 coats again!

MUA is a cheapo brand sold in Superdrug.
