GOSH Holographic Hero and KBShimmer Clown Puke

Firstly I have for you the lovely GOSH Holographic Hero, this is the first GOSH - and only - GOSH polish in my collection.  Hero is the re-released version of the original Holographic polish and I don't own the original so can't compare but the holo in this one was so pretty.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight and 2 of the polish.

And even though this polish is great, I can't leave well enough alone and topped it with one coat of KBShimmer Clown Puke and 1 of the Shield.

Now I don't know about you all but I love this combo.
 
As far as I am aware you can buy GOSH polishes in Superdrug, but my bottle of Hero was gifted to me by my friend Esther of FabFingertips.  You can pick up KBShimmers from the official site, or for international buyers you can shop at Harlow & Co where I got mine.
 
Thanks for looking <3

Leighton Denny Brilliance Nail Treatment Regime

Today I have something a little different for you all, a trio from Leighton Denny, which is called the Brilliance Nail Treatment Regime.

This set comes with a Brilliance Nail Polish Remover, Brilliance Serum and Brilliance Shield.


This trio is designed for dull, discoloured and yellow nails.  Now even with the amount of polish I wear, my nails are normally in alright condition, but I am never really confident enough to wear them in public without polish.

I thought this trio might come in handy for this purpose.  The only issue with this set is that it doesn't come with a leaflet or anything on how the product should be used, such as how often etc.  However, saying this, the Remover is pretty self explanatory, the Serum has a note on the back which advises to apply the serum for no more than 5 minutes then rinsem, and the Shield advises it is a protective top coat.  So this is the order I used them in.

I had been wearing a dark blue polish and as anyone who has worn one knows, these can be a little messy during removal.  I used my normal remover to take off the polish and them used the Brilliance one, I was surprised how much blue was on the cotton wool after this, and my nails didn't look even a little stained.

I then used the Serum and left on for about 5 minutes and then washed my handx thoroughly, and lastly used the Shield over my bare nails.

Now this is something you don't see often but thanks to this little trio I am actually not that uncomfortable showing you this, I even didn't wear polish to work and got compliments on how healthy my nails looked.


So all in all, I was happy with this product and will definetly be using it again.

You can pick this Leighton Denny set, and other Nail Polish products, from QVC and there are a few other types of trio like this one, Bio- Active - for weak and fragile nails - and Hydra-Flex - for dry and damaged nails.

Thanks for looking <3

a-england {New} Excalibur

I have for you all today the stunningly revamped a-england Excalibur.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the original Excalibur, I still wear it quite often...(which reminds me I may need to pick up a back up)... but the New Excalibur is also a stunning polish, so complex.

The New Excalibur is still silver based, but now has a pretty little shimmer of gold through it.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.

As always with a-englands, I loved wearing this one, and plan to again.

It is a great replacement for the previous Excalibur but I also think they would compliment each other really well.

a-englands can be purchased from the official site - if you are in the UK - if you are buying internationally you can purchase from Llarowe or check the a-england site for your local distributor.

Thank you for looking <3

Crowstoes

I have for you all today some Crowstoes photos that have been in my archive for a while, I have been dying to show you them all as I have loved each and every Crowstoes polish I have tried but as these have been sitting for so long, I decided a spam post was the best way to show you them.

So I am not boring you with the same sentence over and over, each picture is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the base polish, 1 of the Crowstoes and 1 of the Shield.

First we have Absolum - Your Potions Master over Enchanted Polish Midnight.

Again I left this to the end as didn't want to just keep repeating myself but each of these polishes is jam packed full of glitter, I have found this with every Crowstoes I have and it is one of the main reasons I love them.
 
You can buy Crowstoes from Llarowe, and the newest collection has not long been released.  You can also now visit Crowstoes on Facebook.
 
I was so glad to finally complete my Alice inspired Crowstoes collection, and then seen there was a new one based on the Cheshire Cat in the new collection so its now added to the wishlist, haha.
 
Anyway, thanks for looking <3

KBShimmer Oh Splat!

Sorry for my absence again but I was away from home for a little while and have also been super busy with work.

But today I have for you today a polish that I know you have probably already seen and been wow'ed by on many other blogs but I just had to show it off too.

I have had this polish in my stash for quite a while now and tried when it first arrived but never actually wore it fully until recently. 

I love glitters in white bases and this one was no exception.  Oh Splat has a white base with a mix of multi-coloured glitters through it.  Application was good, I just had to remember to be a little patient between coats to avoid dragging.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of Oh Splat and 1 of the Shield.

I loved wearing this polish and I hope you enjoyed seeing my pictures.

You can pick up KBShimmers from the official site, or for international buyers you can shop at Harlow & Co where I got mine.

*closed* My Two Year Giveaway with a-england and Llarowe

Wow, I cannot actually believe Pandora's Nails is two today.

Thank you all for sticking with me and I am continually surprised when even more people continue to follow.

I have teamed up with 2 of my favourite polish ladies to offer you some amazing prizes to celebrate making it to the two year mark.

Firstly we, of course, have Adina and a-england.  As anyone who follows me knows I love these polishes and the lady behind them.


Adina has been super generous and offered to gift the winner with their choice of any three a-england polishes, and this is also open internationally.  Adina is only able to ship within the UK due to strict regulation changes but she has so kindly offered, if there is an international winner, to ship the parcel via the relevant distributor.  So big hugs to Adina and her generosity.

Next we have Leah Ann and Llarowe, again I love the lady and even though I have not been lucky enough to try her polishes yet I know I will love them too. 


So saying that, I am super jealous of the person who wins this prize of three polishes by Colors By Llarowe.  Leah Ann chose 3 amazing ones to gift you all, the first being Behead the Drama Queen and most excitingly, two polishes from her yet to be released Michael Jackson collection.  So again this is for international entries and big hugs to Leah Ann too.

Now here the Rafflecopter entry form.  All entries are optional but of course the more you enter the more chances you have.  You get entries for following Pandora's Nails, but also extra for following a-england and Llarowe as a thank you to them.

The giveaway starts at midnight tonight and runs for 1 week, good luck all xx

**EDIT**  Okay I got impatient and started it now, so the giveaway will run for 1 week and 5 hours, haha
