Topic Tuesday: One colour for rest of the year, top 10 polishes in that colour?


For me I would wear black polish for the rest of the year, looking through my black polish collection I have found 10 that I would alternate between. Primarily it would be a black cream Barry M Black Forest and then the rest holographics.

Silver polishing cloth which again you can repurchase separately.

These nail accessories come in various designs as well as different lengths, shapes and widths so depending on your own nails you can find something which will fit your nail bed. The sizing chart can be found here.

On to the ones I was sent to review, I chose 20mm length, width medium (12mm) and rounded tips. BOHEM also do free exchanges and returns if you happen to order the wrong size.

The silver polish is OPI's My Silk Tie;

For these nails I used Colors By Llarowe Black Gold, Texas Tea and some round 4mm silver studs;

Although these are made from solid sterling silver they aren't heavy and while you can feel you have something on your nails. The sticky tabs are strong enough to hold them on to the nail securely. They remove by simply pulling them off, don't use nail polish remover as this will tarnish the sterling silver.

I think these are great for special occasions or nights out. Something a bit special and a bit different. There are so many different designs on the BOHEM site that there is something for everybody and of course there are all different sizes for different nail lengths, shapes and widths.

Nails: Studded Black Texas Tea

Colors By Llarowe, Black Gold Texas Tea is the darkest strong holo polish I have come across. It's hard to get an actual black holo because of the holographic pigment seems to change the colour to a lighter, grey tone.

The flash made the holo reflect like crazy for the photos making it difficult to see the studs;

So I took a photo without the flash:
