Rica Leopard Spot Glitter Polishes Swatches

Today I have three new glitter toppers from Rica Polish. All three feature the new leopard spot glitters that are popping up in polishes. Post is pic heavy! 

L - R: LF Neon Leopard, The Cat's Meow, Purrfectly Kissed

Quick rundown for you. All of these required the leopard spots to be fished out. These have what I call a "slippery" base. Meaning the glitter slides off the brush as you take it out of the bottle. All are finished with a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and a top coat.

Purrfectly Kissed features a pastel pink leopard glitter with various pastel glitters and micro blue glitter. Layered over Barielly Money Talks. This is two coats of the smaller glitters and placing of the leopard spots. The fishing was fairly easy with this one.

LF Neon Leopard ( Lisa Frank inspired ) Features white leopard with various bright and black glitter in micro and small sizes. One coat layered over Illamasqua Grab. This had the best coverage of the bunch. One leopard came out of the bottle on its own. The rest were placed but the easiest to fish.

The Cat's Meow is a silver holographic leopard with silver, blue, and purple holo glitters. This was the sparsest coverage of the three.  At times I would only have one glitter on the brush. This also required a lot of effort to get the leopard spots out of the bottle. This is layered over Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pagan. I really loved the combo of these two together.

Although these don't have the greatest application, I do like the way they look. Tons of layering options with these too. What do you think? Worth the effort? These polishes are available from Rica's Etsy Shop.
Thanks for sticking through the whole post.

Pueen Encore SE04B Stamping

Today I have some random stamping using Pueen Encore plate SE04B. I just wanted to see how well it stamped, so I chose different areas of the plate to use. My base is Barielle My City Apartment.  I've included some photos of that for you too!

I used Mundo de Unas Iris as the stamping polish. Using different parts of the plate, I didn't come across any areas that the stamp wouldn't pick up. Any smearing in the photos is from applying top coat, not the image plate itself. 

So far I've been very happy with this plate set and have no hesitations in recommending it to other stampers. I'm really loving these bigger plates that you can choose your own image.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you back soon!
