Shopping My Stash - Blue Creme Layering

It's been a while coming, but I finally got organised and painted my collection onto swatch sticks! This made my February No-Buy a bit easier as I fell in love with my cremes again. Here's a gorgeous blue creme I rediscovered - Face of Australia Ocean Villa. It usually has a matte finish, but I layered Nubar Black Polka Dot on top. But then I got stuck with the accent nail.

First I tried Candeo Smores (kindly gifted by Jen of The Nail Polish Project at the Sydney Aussie Nails meetup) over ulta3 Earl Grey, but that didn't look quite right:

Then I tried China Glaze Some Like It Haute over China Glaze Stone Cold. Much better!

Shopping my own stash has been the best strategy for my No Buy so far - with over 400 bottles in my collection, there are a lot of underappreciated polishes in there!

Candeo Colors: Zef

The moment I saw a swatch of this polish, I knew I would have to get it. One of those instant "MUST HAVE" polishes. It's Candeo Colors: Zef.

This is 2 layers over white. It's a matte glitter topcoat made up of matte hot pink squares, matte royal blue hexes in 2 sizes and matte black hexes in two sizes. It looks so cool over white! I'm not sure what feeling it invokes in me... maybe retro? Either way, it was a fun manicure to wear all week (as I was struck with a cold and lost all desire to do anything).

Candeo Colors can be found on Facebook here, website here and bought on Llarowe here. She also has amazing customer service :) Do y'all have any Candeo Colors?
