Before you look at the photos...I have had quite a bad week, in terms of my fingers. They are wounded, and some are sore. I also managed to slam the chest freezer lid on my hand today. It was completely and utterly not due to any stupidity on my part. That freezer is incredibly evil. You know, it stores the body parts of horses, chickens, cows, deer and pigs? Even whole pig heads. Sometimes it also has rabbit parts in it. It's a terribly malevolent appliance.
To photos!
First up-Xmas Eve. Star Kin's description-"An inky black night (or black jelly base) swimming with small silvery glitters of excitement, and the red and green glittery decorations of the festive season. This polish also has green and red holo bell shaped glitter, and red holo hearts (for love, of course!)"
Now-Merry Solstice. Description-"This polish has mostly circles, including large, medium and tiny ones, but also some hexes and squares. The glitters are holographic, matte and metallic. There are mostly green and red, but also some gold glitters in here! The base in the bottle looks grey, because I have thrown in a festive helping of cosmetic grade holographic shimmer, which means that anything it is layered over will now have the holographic rainbow in the sunshine."
I like Merry Solstice alone (2-3 coats), but LOVE it over Polished. Polished, another Star Kin, is gorgeous. I'll show you pics of that next time.
Star Kin is one of my favourite brands. They go on so well, I've found minimal fishing for glitters, and are just so stunning.
Ami and Annette are a mother-daughter polish-making duo, based here in New Zealand, using ingredients that are not tested on animals, and base and dyes which are vegan friendly. They have recently been joined by Harriet, over at Nailhilism. Go check her out!
You can find the Star KinEtsy store here, and have a look at Ami's blog, and facebook page.
It's not really a review, but these opinions are my own, and I bought these polishes of my own free will...and will buy more.
