Anne Boleyn is very much a red polish whereas Rose Bower is a pink, so while they could be grouped as both being holographic and both being in the same colour family they are both very different. I think they are visibly different polishes.

Review: BeautyBigBang - Black Mirror Powder*

This nail powder is a black mirror one from Beauty Big Bang. You get 0.5g of powder, which doesn't sound much but you get enough for a fair few applications. Comes in a little twist lid tub sealed with a cardboard stopper. It comes with a sponge tip applicator in a small resealable pouch along with the twist lid pot of powder. 

The idea is you paint your nails and use a UV / Gel topcoat, it has to be one which leaves a tacky residue once 'cured' under the UV / Gel light. Once the topcoat is cured you use the applicator to apply some product, dabbing at first and then rubbing the product in to the nail to create a beautiful mirror shine surface on the nails.

I have a 10% off code "ERA10" which you can use on the website if you would like.

Review: MoYou Stamping Nail Polish - Royal Purple

MoYou Stamping Nail Polish - Royal Purple

This special nail polish is a polish designed specially for stamping, although you can use it as a standard nail polish, which I have swatched below.

MoYou describe the colour as "a rich purple, fit for royals". I would describe it as a sangria purple shade.

The colour on the swatch isn't quite colour accurate, it is a deeper shade. It dries to a semi matte finish.

Overall this is a good stamping polish, opaque, stamps well, and definitely covers a lighter base polish, but not so much over a darker base.
