I've never delved into the polish world of Topshop's cosmetics line before, so I decided to start with the prettiest looking bottle of them all. Made up of green, blue, silver, red and gold glitters suspended in a clear lacquer, Ashes and Fire is glitzy but quite played down at the same time if that makes sense. If you were going to use it on its own I'd suggest three or maybe even four coats. In the swatches above I've placed it over light, medium and dark polishes (one coat each) as well as alone with three and two coats, respectively. Although the brush is quite small I didn't find it a problem to work with, but that may just be because it was a glitter and not an opaque shade (in beauty blogger terms, that's definitely a good dose of justification to try out some more). The accent nail may feel a bit 'done' now but I think this would be the perfect candidate for such a thing as it contains a multitude of pretty, sparkly colours. It hasn't quite got the wow factor of Rainbow Connection, maybe more its baby sister. Have you got a favourite Topshop nail polish? What do you think of the range?
That's such an amazing colour! I bet it's really hard to get off your nails too haha. I wouldn't know any Topshop nail polishes because we don't have Topshop in my country :(

I have a couple and I can't fault them! Although the collection in our store is that big I get blown away every time I go to get a new one - it's impossible to just pick one with so many colours to choose from!
ReplyDeleteTopshop have a great selection, but personally I love their nudes! 'Nice n'Neutral' is my favourite.

I do love a glitter and this looks particularly pretty over the black, really makes the colour pop. May have to make a trip to Oxford Street for a cheeky purchase.

I adore the Topshop nail range; I think they're brilliant for the lower price. My favourite shades are 'Pillar Box' which is a nice deep red and 'Off The Record' which is a gorgeous mushroom colour.

I was eyeing that shade up earlier in the week, but went for one called Plume in the end! My favourite ever is probably 'Tidal' which I posted swatches and a review of on my blog! It's a really pretty, unique pastel shade :) x

It looks great over the black! My favourite glitter polish from Topshop is the Louise Gray one in 'pinch punch' it's so nice and looks just as good on its own as it does over a base colour xx

That's really pretty! I've only tried one Topshop nail polish but they seem like great quality. <3
ReplyDeleteI love this on top of the black! I'm always wary about glitter polish since it's such a pain to get off xx
ReplyDeleteI'm not even a big fan of glitter polishes, but this is just gorgeous! x

The name of this varnish is awesome! I don't know why it just really interested me, and I love that you've done example swashes with different colours underneath, it really gives a good idea of what the glitter looks like! Lovely post :D
