In my massive box of polishes Jess sent over were all but one of the OPI Burlesque Collection, however I managed to track down the missing one on my end. I have never really gotten whole collections where there are more then a half dozen polishes before because to either buy them here, or in an online store and get them shipped is usually way too expensive, especially if you consider the one or two duds that a large collections invariably contains. The Burlesque Collection is a rarity in that I can't see a single dud in there.

I've decided to start off the swatching with the one I reached for straight away - The Show Must Go On.

It is a deep pinky-red, perhaps a dark coral more so then pink with a stunning gold duochrome to it. I was having a really hard time capturing that in these images. Scrangie managed to get some decent photos of the colour, but I think she was having issues capturing the gold as well. It is really noticeable in person, both in the bottle and on the nail.

A stunning, stunning colour. Like the rest of the non-glitter colours in this collection, this one has the glass fleck like effect that is produced by what I think is a large particle shimmer throughout the polish. It comes out all kinds of sparkly on your nails and the colour is simply to die for.

Before any of you ask - Is this a dupe for MAC Bad Fairy? I have swatched them side by side (but didn't take photos for some stupid reason) and they are similar in that they are both redish based polishes with strong gold duochrome to them but that's about it.
Bad Fairy uses a much darker red base from what I can tell and the gold shimmer is much more obvious in it. The MAC polish is like being punched in the face with duochrome and can often give the polish a orange tone at a quick glace whereas TSMGO has a much more subtle gold flash. It is most definitely there, but it is not so in your face and you can tell at all times that it is meant to be a primarily red based polish.

This a full mani with two coats of TSMGO, one coat of Seche and a cute butterfly decal in between. Please excuse the tip wear, I had been wearing this one for a couple of days before I took any photos.

That's it from me today,

Be awesome to each other.

I'm sorry about the infrequent posting. I have just moved house over the weekend and everything is still complete and utter chaos for me. I am going to be using one of the spare rooms in the house as a makeup room and I have not had a chance to set it up yet, nor has an Internet connection been set up, so that means another swatch from the archives which are starting to look pretty skint, so I'd best get that Internet connection up and running again quickly.

These pictures are not the best, I did not have my light box handy when I took these.

This is three coats of China Glaze Lubu Heels which is a black jelly based polish with red glitter suspended throughout. It's incredibly vampy and oh so fabulous. It's a very glowy polish. Like fire embers. I think this one is going in my absolute favourites pile alongside Ruby Pumps.

Have you guys used this polish? Love it or loathe it?

I finished the look of with a white flower sticker that was sent to me from Viva La Nails. You should totally check those guys out, their range of nail art stuff in mind blowing.  Sometimes the decals I used are slightly too thick and as a result, I have issues applying them because they don't bend with the curve of the nail, however the thickness of these decals are perfect. I am incredibly happy with everything that I have gotten from there.

Please don't forget to enter my Ozotic Giveaway. It's open for another 2 weeks. You can enter here.

Also, I am trying to figure out what I want to give away for Christmas for you guys. It's gonna be a biggie, so I thought I would ask you guys what you would like to win? I'm open to any and all suggestions.

That's it from me today.

Be awesome to each other.
